Life Path: 1

Ben Chung/B-Tek
People with a Life Path of 1 are natural born leaders. If you are a Life Path 1, you can be extremely determined and self motivated and won’t let anything stand in your way of accomplishing a goal. Your drive allows you to overcome any obstacle or challenge you may encounter, and you have the desire to accomplish great things with your life. You are very independent and feel the need to make up your own mind about things and follow your own personal convictions. All this drive and determination means that you can easily become irritated when things don’t go your way. Because of these qualities you are well suited to self employment and can be happiest being your own boss. A Life Path of 1 also means that you may posses the qualities to be a political or military leader.

Innovation and creativity also are characteristics associated with a Life Path of 1. You are very good at starting new projects, and often take a unique or inventive approach to solving problems.

On the negative side, if you are a Life path 1 you can have a tendency to be self centered, egotistical and demanding. Because you feel a strong desire to be number one and to appear successful, you can easily become arrogant or boastful. Though you excel as a leader, you may have a difficult time being a follower, which can cause you to be quite unhappy if you are in a situation where you are not in charge. While you are great at starting projects, you quickly tire of detailed tasks.

Life Path: 3

People with a Life Path 3 are creative, optimistic souls. If your Life Path is a 3 you have a very high level of creativity and self expression. This abundance of creative energy could lead you to become a poet, actor, writer, artist or musician. You are extremely optimistic and find the positive in everything around you….sometimes even to the point of being overly optimistic. You tend to live life for today and not worry about tomorrow, partly because you have a hard time taking your responsibilities seriously and partly because your feel so positive about life you figure everything will work itself out fine.

People like to be around you not only because you have a charismatic personality, but also because you are a great listener and are very conscious of other people’s feelings and emotions. You can easily put the people around you at ease and make them feel comfortable. You are extremely generous and giving.

Because you enjoy living life to the fullest, sometimes you may tend to live superficially or have a lack of direction in your life. You also often procrastinate. Financially, you probably aren’t good with money – partly because you are disorganized and partly because you don’t take responsibility too seriously. When you are hurt emotionally you tend to withdraw and become moody, and can sometimes make biting comments to lash out at people around you.

This can cause you to be discontent and impatient unless you are constantly on the go. Your focus on adventure and your curiousity can also distract you and keep your from being aware of the feelings of those around you.

A person who is a Life Path 7 is a thinker. If your Life Path is a 7 you are wise and studious. You seek truth and wisdom in all that you do, and search for the underlying answers in everything. Your tendency is to be a perfectionist, and you expect the same from those around you. Others may see you as eccentric.

You are most comfortable by yourself – a loner or introvert. You happily give up the stress and turmoil of a busy life in favor of a quiet, peaceful life of solitude. 7 is a spiritual number, and most 7′s are drawn to spiritual pursuits. Once you have committed to a certain spirituality you devote yourself to it completely.

Your love of solitude can make it difficult for you to form close relationships. While you value your independence you may often feel lonely or isolated because you lack closeness with others. Because you spend so much time alone, you may lose your consideration for others and become inflexible. One of the challenges for you is to find a balance between maintaining your solitude while not becoming completely isolated.
