Now that we’ve been through a run-down of the basic meanings of the different life path numbers, let’s try an example. Let’s translate the birthdate into a number:

February 21, 1961. 1+9+6+1=17  1+7=8, so the numbers you’re going to add together are:

      2   +   3  +  8  = 13   1 + 3 = 4

So 4 is this person’s life path number. That is the number of work, order, service, and organization. There’s just one key caution in numerology: whenever you have a person (or institution) whose birth-date number reduces to a 2 or a 4, you want to add up the birth-date again as a sum. Why? Because their life path number may be a master number in disguise, and you don’t want to miss it. Someone whose true life path number is an 11 or 22 is going to be different from a 2 or a 4 life path. Adding the birth-date up as a sum will reveal show if this is the case. So let’s try adding up this birthdate again, this time as a sum, then adding up the result of the sum:

        2

     21

+1961 =

  1984      1 + 9 + 8 + 4 =22  

Heavens to Murgatroyd! Our humble four is a mighty twenty-two! Four is the number of the worker; twenty-two is the number of the Master Builder. Twenty-twos have the potential to do something important on a grand scale which will impact many for a long time to come. One numerologist put it this way: “Fours build houses. Twenty-twos build pyramids.” There is a certain amount of tension inherent in life-path 11s and 22s, and the challenge and potential of these particular life paths, many find just too daunting. Most people with the life path number of either 11 or 22 choose to live out their lives as 2s and 4s.
