The first calculation to perform for a numerology chart is the date of birth. The date must be written in mm/dd/yyyy format. For example, if you were born on January 23, 1980, it would be 01/23/1980. If you add the numbers of the date of birth, you will have the Life Path number. In the example given, it would be 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 0 or 24, which then reduces to 2 + 4 or 6. The Life Path number is a representation of who you were when you were born and how those traits rooted will carry you through life. Remember that the numbers must be between 1 and 9 except the master numbers. Do not reduce 11 or 22 as they are the master numbers and a valid result to have.
Those with a Life Path number 2 are born with the ability to become great mediators. They have an innate ability to listen to what others say and really listen to them. Diplomacy, mediation, and reparation come naturally to this person and they can accomplish much through persuasion rather than force. They are idealistic, intuitive, revolutionary and intelligent. Fairness and balance come easy to these people as they can easily understand all aspects of a situation and weigh them accordingly. His willingness to help others stems from a sincere belief that people are inherently good. They are open and honest in everything they do and maintain good manners and speak tactfully. They function well in a group situation where they can help others in some way. Commitment and maintaining a harmonious environment is important to these people, more than monetary success, praise or occupational respect.
They are locked into a routine and prefer what is already familiar to them. The ability to make correct judgments based on analysis which can be useful in the work environment. There is a tendency to be perfectionistic in your work. As part of a team, they tend to be the idea person rather than the leader.
There is a nervousness associated with those who have a Life Path number of 2. Opinions can be so strong that they are prejudiced against things they don’t like and are blind to the flaws in their preferred position. A combination of his nervous energy and his hypersensitivity can cause an occasional outburst, which will seem strange to others, as it is apparently not in his nature. Sometimes your strengths can work against you and you may have trouble getting out the door when it comes to decisions. Even if they achieve their goals, there is a tendency to be dissatisfied with what they have achieved. Pessimism can creep in and further limit what they can achieve.
These people are likely to avoid any career path that involves too much competition, as they don’t like conflict. Any position that allows them to guide or advise others will bring out their strengths. Your idealism toward the world also points inward and can create unrealistic expectations for everyone involved.
