What Your Birthdate Can Reveal About Your Life Path
Numerology-Fact Or Fiction
Can you tell your life path from your date of birth? That all depends if you believe in numerology. Read on for my personal story and how you can, too, find out your life path using your date of birth.
My interest in numerology started in high school. When my business class was officially over, Mr. Bentley, the teacher, took to the blackboard and very quickly jotted down numbers and assigned them to my first and last name. He always had a steady line of curious and interested students. After all, as future adults, we all wanted to know our life paths and needed all the help we could get.
Over the years, I would sometimes practice this numerology exercise out of boredom and quickly forgot about it.
But today, something extraordinary happened. I checked my stats on a local blog and all panels showed up with lots of double 4’s. Is this the universe telling me something? According to one website, seeing double 4’s is related to achievements. In addition, it relates to goal-setting, working hard, building a foundation to pursue your dreams, and perseverance.
In truth, I have been trying for the past month or so to succeed at affiliate marketing. Spent hours watching Youtube videos and still haven’t made a single dollar. Tried affiliate marketing years ago and still no luck. One month ago, I almost got involved in an $1800 marketing schedule but backed out of it when it seemed too good to be true. Things have been tough lately.
So today, when I saw all those 4’s in my stats panel, I felt a glimmer of hope that better things will be coming soon.
But is there any truth to numerology?
In fact, numerology goes back to ancient times, and our great man, Pythagoras, believed in the power of numbers to explain the world around him.
Another historical figure, St. Augustine (AD 354–430) said, “ Numbers are the Universal language offered by the deity to humans as confirmation of the truth.”
In Christianity, the number 3 is significant because it refers to the Holy Trinity: The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. There are also references to certain numbers in the Bible. For example, God would create the world in 7 days. It is noted that Jesus asked 3 times if he could not be crucified, but he was crucified at 3 in the afternoon.
There are numerous sites online devoted to numerology. Interested readers may wish to explore this with Ruth A. Drayer’s book, where she noted that at the start of the 20th century, Mrs. L. Dow Balliett combined Pythagora’s work with Biblical reference.
Clearly, numerology is not all fun and games. It’s serious stuff.
Today, some buyers of real estate will carefully select their home on the basis of the house number. Some people on Youtube have a strong following where they explain why we sometimes wake up at certain times in the night.
We live with numbers every day, and it is amazing that for some people, there is spiritual significance with numbers. I, for one, am still astounded that I saw so many double digits at one sitting.
If you are interested in studying numerology, start with Pythagoras, he is considered the Father of Western Numerology. He also made an amazing discovery of the relationship between numbers and musical notes. He noted that the vibrations in stringed instruments is related to mathematics.
There are also other methods that involve the Chaldean system. Essentially, Chaldean numerology recognizes the energy changes when someone speaks or thinks. The sound of someone speaking comes out in different vibrations of different frequencies that affect the speaker and those around them. In other words, if one speaks gently, our audience will also be a lot calmer and peaceful.
So how does one determine one’s life path based on your birth date?
First, take your birth date and year and change it to numbers.
For example: let’s take November 11, 2006.
The month 11 is reduced to 1 + 1 = 2
The date 11 is reduced to 1 + 1 + 2
Finally, 2006 is reduced to 2 + 6 + 8.
Total everything together: 2 +2+8=12. This is reduced to the number 3.
If you happen to be a 3, you are outgoing and would thrive in careers involving acting, writing, teaching, travel, personal care, sales, therapy, hospitality.

Just for fun, I took President Joe Biden’s date of birth: November 20 1942 and discovered he’s an 11!
Incredibly, many prominent inventors, artists, religious leaders and leading figures in history have had 11 show up in their birth chart.
I charted the famous Baptist minister and slain activist, Martin Luther King Jr. whose date of birth is January 15, 1929 and discovered he’s a life path 8.
I charted the 14th Dalai Lama, whose date of birth is July 6, 1935 and found he’s life path 4 — a teacher! Of course, the people who selected the current Dalai Lama, known as Gyalwa Rinpoche to the Tibetan people, would have checked his date of birth and used many other methods to select him.
Whether you believe that numerology is a “divine science” or not, associating numbers to our life paths is fun for some and serious business to others.
