8–8: An 8 can do well with another 8 if they treat their relationship like a business. In this case, it would be the business of love. Respect what each other has to say, and make sure your fellow 8 knows how much they matter to you. I’ve always said an 8 Vibration can have trouble being with an 8 because they both learn the hard way. So when one is suffering, who consoles whom? It is especially important for the 8–8 couple to remember that the definition of insanity is 'doing the same thing over and over again, and each time expecting a new result.' Avoid going round and round in circles. You must also not be critical of each other. The 8s do not handle criticism well. Compromise is the key here, and then a solid partnership can result.

8 and 8: This pairing might be known as the "Dynamic Duo" as this is a combination that is full of passion and romance. Indeed, this pairing is a strong and enduring match- up. Yet both partners will be easily distracted by the events in their life as goals and professional demands often supersede romantic possibilities. Solid as the relationship probably is, the couple may have a hard time communicating the depth of feeling in either word or deed. Guard against competing with one another, and getting caught up in schedules and the demands of work. Make time for each other and always focus on being equal partners.

The 8 Life Path with the 8 Life Path This relationship is considered a Natural Match; however, two 8 Life Paths together is a tricky Number Combination. When two 8s get together, sometimes they feel like 'crazy eights' as a couple. They find that whenever they get ahead, things turn upside down, and that they are right back where they started. But remember, there are other numbers in a Numerology Blueprint that can alter this Vibration. When two 8s come together, let’s hope that it is in some setting where they at least begin with the same expectations. Do they both believe it is possible to be successful, or does one of them think money is bad and the other one think it is great? These conflicting attitudes about money can be a problem.

When it comes to physical love, both can get caught up in doing things perfectly. The key here is to surrender and say, 'There is no such thing as perfect. It is okay.' There is a bumper sticker that says, 'I’m not perfect, but I’m perfect for you.' That is what two 8s have to start believing. They have to repeat, 'Yes, I’m not perfect, but I’m perfect for you.' Then surrender into each other’s arms. When they do finally come together and take time out for the kissing and the sensuality, they must make sure it’s not just, 'Let’s make love, but hurry up because I’ve got to get back to work.' It’s really important that two 8s take time out to cherish each other as people, not just props in a 'perfect' lifestyle.

The 8 female will usually go out of her way to make everything look nice, and the house will be beautifully decorated; that is something they will want to do. It’s really important that the 8 male expresses his appreciation for her efforts. Doing so adds to the chemistry in this relationship. Because 8s are so direct, these two have got to learn how to say what they are thinking in a more pleasing tone. The one big concern I have for the two 8s is that sometimes life throws a hard ball, and if both feel victimized, one must help the other. It is important that they not fall into a pity pool together. They can’t afford to be critical of one another, because there will be repercussions that can interfere in what could otherwise be a loving relationship.

8–9: Although this is considered a Toxic number combination, it can work if the 8 is willing to respect the intelligence and wisdom that the 9 is blessed with. It is important that the 9 realize that although the 8 does not think in the same way, they do have a lot to offer. If the 8 is living on the negative side of its number, greed can get him or her into trouble. The 9 will not tolerate that kind of deception. When the 9 Life Path tries to enlighten the 8, it is important that they do not have a tone in their voice that could be interpreted as patronizing. If they do not watch their delivery, the 8 will lash out and really hurt the 9’s feelings, often causing damage to the relationship that may be impossible to repair. When the 8 and 9 are at their best, they both have a strong desire to improve the world. They will volunteer their time, come up with a fund-raiser to help those in need, help find shelter for the homeless, etc. On this level, the world is a better place because they have found each another.

8 and 9: This is a challenging combination in which two highly motivated individuals - motivated in very different ways - find it hard to accept the ways of the other. In general the goals of the 9 are lofty and may have a humanitarian bend, while the 8 seeks the reward that comes with development of leadership and material success. To have much of a chance, the 8 will have to appreciate the lessons that can be learned from their generous partner. When they are able to work as a team, this is a powerful and often inspirational pair. Too often, however, the combination fails to click.

The 8 Life Path with the 9 Life Path In this pairing, the 9s have to figure out their life’s purpose. Maybe you met them doing charity work, or at some other event where you were impressed with them. Perhaps you have seen the 9 speak in front of a group. The 8 will be drawn to this Vibration because 8s care about people who are doing something with their lives. They want a partner they can be proud to be with. The 8 loves to be impressed with their partners and say, 'Look what I’ve got,' because 'having the best' is an important part of their life. The 8s are into possessions, but are not materialistic. They really appreciate quality, and they love the best of things. A positive 9 is truly a catch for an 8 Life Path. Nevertheless, these two Vibrations are a Challenge Number to each other. If the 8 becomes too disapproving of the 9, it can destroy the intimacy that was once there. Think back to what brought you two together in the first place. The beginning can be passionate and great. But then, as time goes by, if the 9 feels under attack from the 8, they will pull back and get busy with their own thing. Because the 8s are so blunt, once they feel neglected by their partner, they will keep pushing and pushing to know why. They want an explanation, and they will be very in-your-face about it. Verbal expression is truly an art form, and this means that the 8 can tell the truth, but the 8 must realize there is still a way to say it, so as to not hurt the 9’s feelings. This is something the 8 must work on if they want a lasting love with a 9 Life Path.

9–9: A 9 Life Path with a 9 Life Path is considered an excellent relationship because they are both here to make this a better world. They are usually involved with humanitarian issues. When they join forces, they are very impressive. These two will get things done. They have vast wisdom and knowledge, and constantly learn from each other. They’re fascinated with each other’s interpretation of life, which, interestingly enough, could be completely different. You are wondering, what could possibly go wrong? Well, the 9s mirror each other, so if they have a flaw, they will magnify it in their partner. They can spend a lifetime observing their parents and going over what went wrong. They have a desperate need to be perfect parents, and when they have children and something goes wrong (which it will), they can wallow in depression. It is essential that they forgive themselves for being human.

The 9s are old souls, and they should have great respect for each other. They, unlike other number combinations, have a chance for a love that runs so deep, it transcends the merely physical and personal. 9 and 9: This relationship has much promise as it usually engages two charismatic types possessing much intellectual stimulation. The nature of the 9 is selfless, so this combination usually faces few challenges; each wanting to please the other and always be there for each other. A relationship offering the opportunity to grow, learn, and serve, this is often an inspiring combination.

The 9 Life Path with the 9 Life Path This relationship is considered a Natural Match in Numerology. When two 9 Life Paths get together, they are good at looking at life realistically, and they can’t help at times becomingnegative commentators because they are focusing too hard on the dark side of the larger picture. The 9 must find a way to get their point across, but at the same time be protective of each other’s feelings. Service is a big part of the 9/9 relationship. Both 9s feel called to help others, whether it is volunteering time at a shelter, or foster care for children. If two 9s come together and honor their need to selflessly care for others, they become a tremendous gift for anyone who knows them as a couple. Privately, they can be a bit high-strung, and they can have selfdoubts. One of the flaws in the 9 character is that they can come off as superior and belittling. Well, there is no way a fellow 9 is going to tolerate that.

The 9/9 combination must find a way to speak to one another without inflicting hurt and anger. A 9/9 relationship helps them choose their words carefully. This couple should find ways to exercise together, maybe taking long walks together, jogging, or just being with and appreciating nature. The outdoors is very healing for the 9/9 relationship. Spirituality is a big part of this pairing. It is fantastic if they share the same faith. Because then it means they both realize they are living on a higher plane and have learned to embrace their old soul Vibration. They have come through with a lot of insight and perception that they can share with others. On the other hand, if these two allow themselves to dwell in the resentment of the unjust things that happened in their early life, then they are living on the Negative side of this Vibration, and it can ruin both of them. It’s also really important that the two 9s never fall into unhealthy substance abuse, because that will interfere with the divine intuition they are both gifted with from birth.

The best thing the 9s can do is to stay in the moment and focus on today. That will keep their love alive. They have enormous passion andappreciation of each other, and when they hold each other, they just melt into each other’s arms. This can be exquisite. When a 9 Life Path finds a 9 Life Path, and they embrace the Positive side of their life Path completely, it is a true blessing, not just for them, but for all of us.

7–7: My observation of a 7 with a 7 is that they make great friends. They have a good time together; they enjoy each other’s company. It’s an excellent personal relationship, because they know when the other one is stressed; the 7 will listen to the 7 carefully and give advice, so there’s a real feeling of comfort. Many Vibrations have difficulty with the 7’s need for time alone, but nobody understands this need better than a fellow 7. They will never take it personally, but they have to work on keeping a physical connection. The mental connection’s perfect; physical closeness can be lacking because of the loner quality of the 7. A perfect vacation for this couple would be an ocean cruise or a place where nature’s beauty is everywhere, such as Hawaii or Tahiti. Writing or creating music together would be the ultimate career for the 7–7 couple.

7 and 7: This is one situation in which no one understands the eccentricities of a 7 nearly as well as another 7. Thus, this is a very compatible pairing. With the right attitude, this couple will find the interest to freely explore the world together, or spend their days in happy solitude together. Chances are you are on the same psychic wavelength, so you will surely catch the signals as they flash by. The downside of this pairing is the tendency to not communicate, so an effort may have to be made to keep the lines open and operating.

The 7 Life Path with the 7 Life Path This relationship is considered a Natural Match in Numerology. Usually this starts out as a friendship, and then the friendship grows into a relationship filled with love and kindness. The concern I have is that because the relationship is so intellectually stimulating, the physical part can be neglected. You may wake up one day and realize that you haven’t even made love in years. Although you love each other, you suddenly feel you are in a brother-sister relationship, or you are just roommates. Occasionally I will get a letter from someone who says, in effect, 'Well my husband is a 7, he’s got ED, and so we don’tmake love.' And I think about that 'little blue pill,' Viagra. It’s been a blessing to millions of people because it helps men be able to make love again, and I know that does wonders for their self-esteem. I think sex is very important in a relationship. If the blue pill is not an option, then there are other creative things you can do to pleasure each other, and I do suggest you use your imagination. You’ll have to communicate your real needs.

The big thing is that 7s are cerebral and must make a special effort to keep the relationship physical and loving. I know that people can be happy in a marriage where sex is no longer the most important thing. But too often I have seen the physical love ignored, and one or the other seeking comfort somewhere else. The love of wildlife and the environment also play a big part in a 7/7 relationship because they have such an appreciation for it. It is very good for you to be near a body of water, either on a trip or, ideally, near the place you live. And when you find that base of faith that you can both believe in, what a blessing that will be for youand everyone around you.

7–8: In the beginning of the relationship, the 7-8 will be all over each other, because they actually rejuvenate each other in the bedroom. Nevertheless, it is important that the 8 try not to control the 7’s life. The 7 will need a lot of sleep just to keep up with the 8. Since 8s tend to be workaholics, this can be okay with the 7 because they need their time alone. However, if children are involved, the 7 and 8 will have to work on being emotionally available to them. The 7 should leave the financial matters to the 8 because this is where they excel. If the 7s feel the 8s are always too busy for them, then they may need to find a way into the 8’s business world. If the 7s shut down, and don’t want to discuss what is upsetting them, flowers and cards saying how much they are really appreciated can do a world of good. The key to making this union last is for this couple to choose their words very carefully. Both are known for being too blunt. They must do everything they can to avoid unnecessary conflict.

7 and 8: This is a combination that seems to work well physically, but one which is plagued with problems on the emotional level. The 8 has a tendency to dominate and control, and the 7 is a very private person prone to resist attempts to exert authority. The power of both numbers can result in frequent verbal battles. Yet there is a stability factor in the pairing that makes long-term success a possibility if accommodations can be reached.

The 7 Life Path with the 8 Life Path This relationship is considered a Challenge Number Combination because an 8 wants financial security and usually money is not a big issue or goal for a number 7 (unless the 7 has an 8 somewhere else in their Personal Chart). So their goals in life may be different, but remember, there are six numbers that make up a Numerology Chart, and there are probably other numbers in each other's chart that are drawing you to this relationship. If you are going to team up, just know that a healthy 8 Vibration will do well to plan your future financial goals. Read all about the 8 Life Path because they come in two flavors, and you, as a 7 Life Path, want to know which one you are dealing with. The 7 will be more about intellectual conversation and appreciation for all the beauty of nature, such as plants, rivers, the ocean, trees, etc. If the 7/8 can travel as a couple, doing so can be beneficial to this relationship. Compromise is necessary for this couple. Trust can be an issue for both Vibrations. The absence of trust will force the relationship to fall apart. Again, the 8 has to trust that the 7 Vibration loves them, and wants to be with them, and vice-versa, to keep this union constantly evolving.

7–9: The 7 and the 9 vibrations are considered Toxic to each other. However, when they are spiritual, that is to say, when the 7 believes in God, and does not act like they are God, the 9 will enjoy their company immensely. The first thing they will find they have in common is their need for intellectual stimulation. This is a couple that may forget about other people because they get so locked into what they have to offer each other. Their minds can think as one. What can go wrong? When the 7 becomes too cynical and refuses to see the brighter side of a situation, the 9 will become frustrated with the 7, and eventually give up and want out. Another problem can be the 9 wallowing in old family issues, as they do when they are living in their negative energy. When this happens, the 7 will withdraw and not be there to comfort the 9. Supporting each other and really listening is what keeps this love strong. There can be peace and harmony here because a 7 and a 9 have so much going on that they both need space. They will be comfortable with the occasional absences of the other. When they get together again, they will really look forward to it and count themselves lucky for having such an understanding partner.

7 and 9: This couple is anything but neutral in their affiliation. They are listed neutral because the relationship can go either way depending largely on spiritual beliefs. Both have strong spiritual inclinations and deeply held positions. However, these views of the spiritual and God often divide along rigidly held lines. In such cases, compromise is usually not an option. When the spiritual positions are in harmony, this can be a very compatible combination.

The 7 Life Path with the 9 Life Path This relationship is considered a Challenge in Numerology. The 9 is a number that the 7 is automatically drawn to. It is a subconscious admiration, since the 9 is an evolved Vibration. The 9 has usually found their spirituality and the 7 can learn from them in that way. A well-adjusted 7 who has found their faith and has a sense of self will find it easy to love the 9 Life Path. But if the 7 is drinking or doing any unhealthy forms of escaping, problems will arise in this relationship. The 9 often has issues of abandonment, and when the 7 does their thing without telling the 9 where they went, the 9 can get very upset. The 7 will not know what to say. The 7 might say something stupid like, 'Get over it.' The 7 Life Path can be insensitive to the feelings of the 9, and that will not be tolerated for long. But if they are both on track, altruistic interests are a big part of this relationship. The 7 and the 9, when living on the positive side of the numbers, can really impact the world in a wonderful way.

6–6: Marriage, home, and family may as well have been invented for the 6.The average 6 would not be complete without something to parent, be it a family or a corporate empire. They want to take care of everybody. What a dynamic couple! Since they are the natural interior decorator, you can imagine that their home is going to be beautiful, and filled with wonderful furniture, artifacts, and food. There is a doubting streak in the 6; they must be careful to not be nervous when things are going smoothly. 'It’s just too good to be true' is an expression practically invented by the 6. It is imperative that they not repeat this, because 6s are powerful people and they can indeed think themselves into misfortune. They have to be able to accept the love they have found, and say, 'Yeah, we found each other and we deserve this love.'

6 and 6: This is a combination charged with romance, but in essence it is rather practical by nature. Home and family is second nature here, and these will be the top priorities for sure. This is a very compatible pairing. The 6 knows what's best for their partner, so they do a good job of taking care of each other, and a family is a must. Yet the 6 by its nature wants the whole family under his/her thumb, so the challenge may be in agreeing who is going to be charge. The circumstances of the relationship will usually be able to sort this out.

The 6 Life Path with the 6 Life Path This relationship is considered a Natural Match in Numerology because two strong individuals have come together to love each other, and when respect and appreciation are given, the sky is the limit! When these two get together, they focus on home and environment. When you are a 6 Life Path with a 6 Life Path, there is no way that the inside of your house is not attractive and beautifullydecorated. I always say 6s are the natural interior decorators. If the house doesn’tlook good, it tells me something else is wrong in your life. It could be other numbers in your chart that deter you from your natural ability to make your surroundings lovely. The 6s care about the quality of the food they eat and prepare for others. They like things that are aesthetically pleasing like plants and a fresh, beautiful bouquet of flowers in the house. As a matter of fact, 6s will not tolerate a bad smell. Both of you will go nuts as a couple until you find out what is causing the odor. There is a lot of love here, and your life together can be incredibly sweet. Usually when two 6s get together, it is about having children. If you do not have children, you may have pets that you treat as your children.

The 6/6 couple might run a company where they treat their employees like family. This is a powerful, nurturing vibration and it is reciprocal in the double 6 Life Path relationship. This couple must realize that they both deserve some smooth sailing in their life together. If they become competitive with each other, it is possible to destroy what could be a beautiful love relationship

6–7: This union will take some work, but it does have possibilities. If the 6 and 7 are living in the positive side of their numbers, then the 7 will be spiritual and the 6 will provide a lovely home where they can be together. The 7 needs space but will welcome the 6’s company so long as the 6 does not disturb the 7’s concentration. They cannot interrupt this time of meditation that the 7s need to feel at peace. When the 6 is troubled, the 7 must pay close attention, and not tune out what the 6 iscommunicating. If they do, the 6 will be deeply hurt, and have a hard time forgiving the 7. The 6 and 7 pride themselves on being good parents and will play an active role in their child’s life. If any substance abuse is involved, then it is a whole different story. It is wise for them to live near a lake, river, or ocean because of the calming effect water has on the 7. The 6 needs a home they can turn into a safe little haven. The 7 should encourage the 6 to use their creative energies and start their own business. If the 6 and 7 have the same spiritual base, this relationship can last a lifetime.

6 and 7: These are two very different people with very different ideas about a relationship. The 6 is openly interested in a permanent situation complete with a stable home and family. With the secretive 7, it is hard to tell what the goal might be, and only time will tell. Despite the sexual attraction that may be present, this is a very challenged combination. The 6 is too controlling, and the 7 just isn't to be closely managed. The compromises required in this relationship really bend and manipulate the natural traits of both numbers.

The 6 Life Path with the 7 Life Path This relationship is considered a Challenge Number combination. What matters to a 6 Life Path may not necessarily matter to a 7 Life Path, which can cause a problem. The 7s care more about mental and spiritual breakthroughs and sometimes they need to be by themselves. The 6s are more social. The 6s like to be with their partners. They have their breakthroughs when they talk thingsthrough and it suddenly becomes, 'Ah ha. Now I get it.' Sometimes, however, a 7 just doesn’t want to talk and that can turn this relationship sour because the 6 will feel rejected. The term 'I’m at sixes and sevens' means 'I am confused and not sure.' This would also be true for the 6 and the 7 when they get together. If you are a 6 who wants to love a 7, know that they will teach you things that you just don’t know about. They look at life in a way that you do not, and instead of being judgmental, or asking them for the kind of attention that they cannot give you, it is more about honoring what is good and sweet about them. I find that when the 6 Life Path hugs a 7 Life Path, they can feel the gentleness, it is almost a spiritual feeling. It is a goodness that comes from a 7, once they find their base in a faith that they believe in. The problem for a 6 is when the 7 does not have faith and becomes bitter and negative. This response can really do damage to the 6’s love of life. Just know how different the two of you are, and learn to appreciate this fact so that you can find harmony and stay together.

6–8: This can be a very good match. The 8s are business minded and the 6s are magnetic. When this impressive duo strides into view, everyone will notice. The 8s usually have big ideas and the 6 helps to turn them into reality. The 6s also make sure they have a comfortable home to relax in. The chemistry is always there, but because they are so busy, they have to be spontaneous enough to make it happen, anywhere, anytime. The physical contact will give them that burst of energy they didn’t evenrealize they needed. The 8s pride themselves on pleasing the 6s in the bedroom and the 6 should not be hesitant in telling the 8 what is needed. They should be careful not to expect them to guess—speak up! Tell the 8 what you like. They are not mind readers. The 8 must try to avoid feeling victimized and blaming other people when things go wrong. The 6 will try to make everything better, but will soon lose patience if the 8 does not snap out of it. Otherwise, the 6 will encourage the strength of the 8, and the 8 will be proud of the 6 partner they have been blessed to share their life with.

6 and 8: This is a very positive and compatible relationship of two who are usually open and positive in most that they do. This is a couple with big ideas, and their ideas are usually brought to reality in grand fashion. The home will provide plenty of space for family, work, and frequent entertaining of their many friends. A down side to the relationship can occur if the possessive 6 has to compete too much with the business interests of the 8. Likewise, the 8 will be frustrated when the demands at home cramp the executive lifestyle and obligations.

The 6 Life Path with the 8 Life Path This relationship is considered Compatible in Numerology. But if the 8 is trying to figure out ways to create financial security, the 6 needs to know those plans. They have to ask, 'What is going on with the finances? Does the 8 have the ability to save money, or does he or she spend every penny they get?' If it is a 6 male with an 8 Life Path female, and she is out there spending his money, that can make him crazy. But let’s say the 8 woman is the breadwinner and the 6 male is counting on her in a financial way. That can also be a problem, because 8 females need to feel that the man she picks is also financially stable.

I do believe that a 6 and an 8 can do very well together if the couple honors the need to take care of those things that need to get done each day. Then, this relationship can be pretty impressive. If the 6s and 8s are solid, they should have a beautiful home. When this couple throws a party, it is impeccably done. If they have kids, the children will be dressed nicely and have good manners. Again, when I think of a 6 and an 8 as a couple, it’s all about the home and family. If not, it can also be about being number one in their chosenprofessions and finding ways to enjoy the vacations they so dearly deserve.

6–9: The 6s and 9s are excellent in business and personal relationships because they intuitively know how to give and take with each other on all levels. They respect each other, and thoroughly enjoy being together. It’s hard to impress a 6 Life Path. They’re easily jaded, but 9 is the highest number, and they are impressive just standing still. They have an air of authority, which the 6 is drawn to. A 6 will take notice and think: I really like this person, and maybe I could learn something from him. The 9 will respond to the 6’s strength and ability to provide leadership and a beautiful environment. When they have children, the 9 will be impressed with the 6’s legendary parenting skills. The 6 will blossom under the 9’s open praise and appreciation. A partnership like this can last for a lifetime.

6 and 9: This is generally a very compatible relationship prospect as the 9 is one of the few numbers to gain 6's utmost respect. In a family situation, the 6 is unsurpassed as a manager, and the 9 is never reticent in heaping praise in recognition. This often creates a mutual admiration environment that provides a happy home for both partners. The 6 helps the 9 stay focused on details and common sense issues, while the 9 broadens the 6's outlook and sense of the world at large. The expansiveness of this pairing may suggest the need to keep a close eye on the budget.

The 6 Life Path with the 9 Life Path These two Numbers, the 6 Life Path with the 9 Life Path, are a Natural Match, and this can be a dynamic relationship. The 6 does respect the 9,because the 9 has a lot of fascinating insights that the 6 appreciates. The 6 is not easily impressed by people and they will not hide their boredom if someone tries to impress them with their knowledge, especially if it is not sound. They can call you out when what you are saying is bogus, and they will not pretend that your conversation is interesting. The 9s have a lot of information and life experience that appeals to the 6. I’ve witnessed the 6 and the 9 Life Paths enjoy a delightful relationship. Again, family plays an important part in their lives. Make sure that the boundaries are there with the original family and that they are not invading the space of this couple. It is especially important for the 9 Life Path to not let any family members meddle in the dating relationship or marriage. If this couple chooses to have children, the 6/9 relationship can make a good team for parenting.

The 6 Life Path has natural instincts on how to do it. If it is a man, perhaps he is a provider working hard, and the 9 raises those children or vice-versa. The only thing that can get in the way is that the 9 Life Path willinternalize their feelings and not confide in the 6 Life Path. That will surely distress the 6 Life Path. The 6, for their part, must make an effort to view their partner realistically and not place such high expectations on that person. Overall, I think this relationship can be wonderful as long as these Vibrations avoid these common pitfalls. Study each other’s complete Numerology Blueprint and embrace your differences

5–5: The phrase to describe this relationship is 'Never a dull moment.' Two 5s are like racing cars going 150 miles an hour—with no one having bothered to check the brakes. Will they crash or won’t they? Only they know. Friends will all have opinions on this relationship, but it is best that the 5s discuss any real problems with each other. There will always be some kind of drama coming their way. The 5s should try not to get too involved in other people’s problems. Sexually, the chemistry is usually wild and explosive. The 5s are not very good at or interested in their money, though they like to spend it. If possible, they should have a business manager take care of it for them. Travel is important to keeping this love affair going strong. Ideal jobs for this double 5 couple would be pilot and stewardess, or a detective and his partner. The 5s are also natural entertainers. The way for this to last is if the 5s both love their work and if their lives are action-packed. If they are not, their lives can degenerate into a soap opera. Stay on top of your 5 energy! No one can celebrate life like a 5, let alone two 5s.

5 and 5: A pair of 5s is a very compatible couple who prize their freedom to be different and adventuresome. Few others will be as open to the constant flow of new ideas and changes so common in the 5. In this relationship, partners easily anticipate what the other is thinking and where they are going. And they also have a sense for staying out of the way and accepting the freewheeling lifestyle. 5s choosing to support one another can do just about anything. The difficulty with this pairing is focus, and there may be a problem handling the mundane day-to-day affairs.

The 5 Life Path with the 5 Life Path This relationship is considered a Natural Match in Numerology. These two will never have a boring moment. This is a passionate pairing, exciting and creative, but it can also be volatile. These two have to be careful not to move too fast. These are obsessive people, but if they keep theirobsessions in check, and pick something positive that they are passionate about, they can have a terrific relationship. When two 5 Life Paths get together, the excitement becomes nonstop. Please note it would be good for one of you to focus on the details and help ground the other, to avoid unnecessary chaos. It is also very easy for a 5 to start a project and then fail to finish it. This tendency is something you could both work on overcoming together. I have found that things go well here as long as neither 5 lapses into feeling the partner doesn’t understand them; as long as you keep discussing all the things that are going on in your life and listen raptly to the other 5, this can be an exciting relationship.

5–6: Although technically considered Toxic, the 5–6 combination has surprised me many times. The 5s are the ones who like freedom and the 6s are the ones who like their home. Here’s a look at two clients of mine who made it work: The husband is in the entertainment business and is a double 5 in his birth numbers. He’s constantly traveling, and they have children. His Attitude Number is a 6, which is the father energy. So when he comes home, he likes the role of being Daddy. The 6 started a coffee shop—one of those drive-through stands—and now she and her friend own three of them. That business keeps her cup full (no pun intended), and she’s doing well. Instead of lamenting that her husband’s always gone, she’s doing so much with her own energy that she’s excited about her own life as well. The 6 is above all a nurturer, and she sees the kids benefiting because both parents are successful role models and these children know whatever they set out to do they can do, because look at Mom and Dad. If she were living on the negative side of the 6, she would lament, 'Where is he? He’s not home for dinner, he’s not here to look at my beautiful home, and all the cleaning I’ve done.' By having a business and children, she doesn’t go there. It’s come up enough for me to notice that these numbers can work even though in Numerology the first thought would be 'no.'

5 and 6: This is a combination requiring great compromise since the 5 thrives on freedom and space, and the 6 is noted for exerting control and nurturing supervision. The 6 wants complete commitment, and the 5 is looking for adventure and new horizons. In a relationship, they would probably be good for each other if they could find a way to meet somewhere near the middle. They must avoid any tendency to become entrenched in positions that just won't work for the other.

The 5 Life Path with the 6 Life Path This relationship is considered a Challenge to each other, due to their different views on what makes a good life. I have seen the 5/6 Life Path couples make their relationships work by respecting each other’s schedules and maintaining trust in the marriage. The key to this love relationship is you must stay busy. Both should have a career. It can be a career if the stay-at-home partner is totally involved with the home and kids. The 5s and 6s should be in charge of what each does. At your job you are using all your creative energy; when you return home, you should concentrate on quality time with each other.

The 5 has charisma, which the 6 will enjoy, but the 5 must be appreciative of the 6’s animal magnetism. The 6 values being told why the 5 thinks they are so special. They also love a sincere 'thank you.' Say it often and there is nothing a 6 won’t give you. Sometimes the 5 gets so busy they don’t even think about verbalappreciation. They just getcomfortable in the relationship, and that can cause a problem. The other pitfall would be any kind of substance abuse. If the 5 Life Path or 6 Life Path is abusing, it is particularly bad for this relationship. Since they don’t spend all their time together, they really want to count on their partner. When substance abuse is involved, there is no trust. Any kind of jealousy festering in this relationship must be dealt with immediately. Otherwise the union will end.

5–7: It is imperative that a 5–7 couple travel and enjoy the world together. If they stay in one place too long the 5 will become restless, and because the 7 is psychically in tune with their partner, it will make the 7 uncomfortable. The 5s need constant movement, whereas the 7s need only to slip into their mind and that is where their adventure is. The 5 must adjust to the 7’s need to be alone. In truth, both need their private space. When 5s give 7s an embrace, they can feel their gentle spirit. Although a 7 is difficult to figure out, the 7 can see right through their partner, so there is no point in making up a story. The 5s are natural detectives, so they actually have a good chance at cracking the mystery of the 7. Either way, it keeps the relationship interesting, and it can be very exciting in the bedroom. When you do find a place to settle down, make sure it is near a body of water. The water has a profound effect on the 7. The 5s also appreciate nature’s beauty. I caution the 5 not to push the 7 into a verbal confrontation. They will not respond until they are put on the defensive, then they will counterattack and verbally execute the 5, from which the 5 will have difficulty recovering.

5 and 7: This is a relationship which is more or less free of rules and procedures. In some ways, these two are much alike and the relationship is generally very compatible. The 7 values the time to be alone and enjoy the world of study and reflection in their private space. At the same time, the 5 has plenty going on and appreciates not having demands for attention being the paramount feature of the relationship. Yet these two can get together and find a never ending stream of mutual interests to discuss and explore.

The 5 Life Path with the 7 Life Path This relationship is considered a Natural Match in Numerology, and there is a strong rapport and connection. These two Life Paths need to understand that the 7 usually has a slower pace than a 5, unless the 7 Life Path has other high-energy Numbers in their Personal Chart such as a 1 or 5. There is usually a strong intellectual connection, where they can talk nonstop for hours about things that fascinate them, especially when they first meet. There may be times that the 7 can have trouble keeping up with the 5, and it makes me think back to an article I read where Catherine Zeta-Jones was in a limo with Michael Douglas. She is a 5 Life Path, and he is a 7 Life Path. He fell asleep in the limo, and the limo driver said, 'We’re here.' And Catherine looked at him and said, 'Just let him take a nap, he needs it.' To me, that was a classic example of the difference between the two vibrations. Here Catherine is a nonstop 5 Life Path, 'gotta go, gotta do.' But sometimes the 7 needs to take a nap and regroup to restore the energy it takes to keep up with the 5. Also, 7s sometimes have a lethal tongue, and they say things they don’t really mean. The 5s will have none of that. So be careful what you say to this Life Path or you might find your 5 looking for the nearest exit door. Taking trips together is always a good idea for the 5/7 combination. Pace yourselves and speak softly, and this Natural Match relationship can be a long and happy one.

5–8: The 5–8 combination works because they’re both dynamic personalities. The 8s are often accused of being workaholics. They’re so busy trying to achieve their goal, they don’t stop to smell the roses. If you put a 5–8 togetherthey have a blast. They both enjoy the luxuries of life: fine wine, elegant hotels, the best cuisine, beautiful jewellery, soft fabrics, etc. If a 5 comes up with a grandiose idea, like owning a restaurant that provides good food and entertainment, the 8 would get all the paperwork together to turn it into a huge financial success. Well, on the business level, they’re going to work effectively together, and on the personal level they’re going to enjoy each other. If the 8 is working and making money, the 5 can play even more. They’re both doing what they love, and they don’t get in each other’s way. What can go wrong? The 5 can have a wandering eye, and the 8 will not tolerate it! Some 8s are frugal and want to keep all the money in the bank. The 5s will not put up with that. A 5 is here to celebrate life in a big way, the 8 better just give in and join them. If they do not, it can be the fatal blow to an otherwise wonderful union.

5 and 8: This is a relationship between two individuals who don't always follow the rules, and they might find themselves locking horns on the rules of a relationship. The 8 is used to being the boss and dominating most situations. The 5 seeks freedom from any restraints. The 8 is focused on success, particularly in a financial sense, and the 5 doesn't even want to think about money. It will take careful planning and compromise to make this relationship work.

The 5 Life Path with the 8 Life Path I call the 8 Life Path a Neutral Number to the 5 Life Path because I have seen thisrelationship go both ways. This combination can be really good or bad—and trust me here, when it is bad, it is really bad. This relationship can start out quickly, where the 8 is dazzled by the 5 and things can move a little too fast. It can be lusty and passionate, but then when it is time to confront the realities of life, this sexy flame can burn out. If you are in a 5/8 love relationship, try to keep your hands off of each other long enough to see what else you have in common. I have found that when a 5 and 8 go into business together, it can actually be very good for the relationship.

As for romance, sometimes the 5 Life Path doesn’t quite know how to commit to the 8 Life Path. They may become restless while they are still dating the 8 and find they want to keep their options open. Now, the 8 wants to know where they stand and where the relationship is headed, and when they ask, the 5 can feel smothered by the 8. You both will have to look at your relationship early on and decide what it is you want from each other, in order to make this work. To keep the 5 happy and in love, the 8 must give the 5 a lot of room in this relationship. The 5 must be aware that, although the 8 seems very strong, they are quite sensitive. You both appreciate beautiful things and exotic locations. Getting out of your regular environment is essential. If you make time to escape into each other’s arms, you will return from a vacation rejuvenated and ready to take on the world again.

5–9 This is a case where empowering each other to achieve greatness is extremely important to both of you. The 5–9s love being winners in their own life, but also like spending time with people who have attained their own personal goals. The 9s set out to conquer the world and the 5s turn on the charm to help make it possible. If they do have children, the 5–9s will be good parents. The 5 will make sure there are plenty of days for the children to feel special (making holidays and parties magical is one of their gifts). The 9 will teach the children how to make the world a better place through practical means like collecting signatures for local issues, gathering clothes for the homeless, and so on. But the 5–9 can get so busy that they may lose sight of each other. Taking breaks from their separate lives to be together will keep this union going strong. Jealousy has no place here; ican ruin a 5–9 relationship faster than any other emotion.

5 and 9: This is a relationship between two who may find it hard to work the relationship into their busy schedules. Both of these numbers represent people who are apt to be in a constant state of transition and change. In this regard they have much in common and will generally find each other very interesting, for the moment or for the long haul. The compassion of the 9 and progressive thinking of the 5 seems to blend well. Establishing a commitment to security is a must.

The 5 Life Path with the 9 Life Path This relationship is considered Compatible in Numerology. The 5 Life Path enjoys the 9 Life Path because the 9 has insights that they don’t have. The intellectual power that the 9 possesses is a trait the 5 will appreciate. The 5 gets easily bored if their partner doesn’t stimulate them intellectually. It is extremely important for the 9 to let go of past hurts, whether a previous messy divorce or anger at the original family. Or if they are very close to the original family, make sure they treat their current relationship as the first priority. They have got to stay in the moment with the 5. The 5 will keep them busy, so it should make it easier to do so. The 5s look at their lives as an amazing journey; This is great and what’s next? could be their mantra. As a couple, be spontaneous and go away for the weekend.

Do things that keep you out of your regular environment because that is a lot of fun for both of you. The 9 Life Path will be a good adviser to the 5 unless the 5 Life Path lives on the Negative side of the Number and spends too much time feeling sorry for themselves. The 9 will not tolerate that behavior, and if they do choose to stay, they will do so because they have children. Children are the first priority for a 9 Life Path. They may stay together, but the relationship can, nevertheless, shut down on an emotional level. So keep on reaching out, and really talking to each other every day, and then this combination will thrive.

4–4: Two 4 Life Paths can do well with each other because they both have a need to feel secure—they need to know the bills are paid. They respect each other. They go out of their way to make sure the other feels his or her needs are being met. He, as a 4, might take care of her by being the handyman or computer expert, and she, by taking on the job of home-schooling their children (remember, the 4 is the natural teacher). The 4–4 relationship is usually long term because 4s don’t like to date, and once they make a commitment, they want it to be forever. So they tend to do well in love. They also excel in business, because they share the work equally, and are good with the details—both of them taking notes and making sure everything is handled in the company.

4 and 4: The keywords for this combination are solid and secure. For individuals who need to know that the bills are paid and future is totally secure, who better to fill this need than another 4. These two will share goals that they work for and nearly always achieve. Success is measured by a sense that growth is continual and this includes love and romance. The down side of this pairing, if there is one, is the sense that nothing is evecompletely okay. It's hard to relax , be spontaneous, and enjoy the moment and each other. Nonetheless, there are few relationships destined to be more stable than this one.

The 4 Life Path with the 4 Life Path This relationship is a Natural Match. When a 4 Life Path gets together with another 4 Life Path, they tend to feel safe. The only concern I have here is that 4s are like turtles. They stick their heads out when they feel safe, and they pull their heads in when they do not. So, if you are both a 4 Life Path, are you sticking your heads out together, or are you staying stuck in your shells? In other words, two 4scan sometimes become imprisoned in their own environment and not want to deal with the rest of the world. So I say, if you are a 4 who has joined with another 4, start a garden together, walk around your neighborhood, find a park, and experience nature’s beauty, because it will make you feel so much better. By sharingexperiences, your love will grow stronger. Also, I would suggest that you take classes together, since thepursuit of knowledge is such a big part of your Vibration. You will encourage each other and learn that much faster. Try studying finances. Find a way to make your security grow for your future.

4–5: The 5s are high-energy people. They like to create excitement around them. How the 5 would communicate is not how the 4 would communicate, which sometimes causes misinterpretation and hurt feelings. There can be stepping on toes without meaning to. The 4s are very direct whereas 5s would be more charming, even going out of their way to make a person feel comfortable. A 4 will stay in a relationship that is not healthy just because they don’t like change. A 5 might feel trapped and want to get out. Truly respecting and listening to each other is the key to this relationship.

4 and 5: Challenge. The 4 and the 5 have different temperaments and different ways of communicating. The 4 is very direct to the point, while the 5 will be more diplomatic and indirect. 4s don't like change, and 5s have to have it. To find success, this couple will need to respect the difference and pay attention to what is said and what is inferred.

The 4 Life Path with the 5 Life Path This relationship is a Challenge in Numerology. There is a lot of sexual chemistry here, but you two are very different. The 4 would like to settle down and have a partner, getmarried, have kids. The 5 wants to explore the world, be spontaneous, and if they wake up one day and leave town, they do not want to feel tied down. The operative word is feel; just smile and let them go and they’ll be back before you know it. So if a 4 and a 5 get together and marry, they have to find a balance. The 4s need to understand that sometimes the 5 will have to be with friends or perhaps take a job that includes moretraveling than the 4 would like. The 4 cannot take this need to be free as a form of rejection. It is actually a survival mode for the 5 Life Path. The 4 is that solid person you can count on, and the 5 needs to know that trait is a blessing. If the 5 begins to feel bored in the relationship, they can’t blame the 4. The 4 neverpretended to be anything other than what he or she is—first and foremost, someone you can rely on. Keeping the love alive in your union is all about continuing to talk honestly with one another. Remember that person you fell in love with. Don’t make false accusations. Jealousy can end this relationship. Keep your discussion channels wide open.

4–6: This combination can be great in a marriage, especially when children are involved, as the home and the need for security fulfil both vibrations. If iis the female who is the 6, the old saying, 'If Mama aren't happy, aren't nobody happy' applies here. If the male is the 6, he needs to feel he is king of his castle, and the 4s understand this. What to avoid: The 4s are notoriously blunt and they need to choose their words carefully in order to avoid a true battle with the 6 partner. This is the kind of union where children make the parents want to keep the family together at any cost. If there are no children, then it could be a business or home they have invested in that they do not want to lose. In any case, they will make a monumental effort to stay together. 4 and 6: A comfortable match of traditional types, this pairing has promise from the very beginning. Chances are the 6 will want to take the lead in this relationship, and a secure home and family are all that is needed to produce a satisfying long-term situation. The challenge of this relationship is compromise. Neither is very good at this.

The 4 Life Path with the 6 Life Path This relationship is considered Compatible in Numerology. The 4 and the 6 Life Paths usually marry so that they can have children. They both believe in the beautiful home and thewonderful mate. They tend to have the same personal goals, which makes this combination work very well. The key to success here is to make sure that you don’t get bored. Demi Moore and Bruce Willis are goodexamples. Demi is a 4 Life Path and Bruce is a 6 Life Path. They have those beautiful children. They never said anything bad about each other in public. So when they brokup, it was a real shock. They are not only good friends to this very day, but Bruce bought a house across the street from Demi so that he could stay close to his kids. That is what the 4 and 6 Vibrations would do. If the relationship doesn’t work out, they would both feel that it is a priority to be great parents and take care of the children. You remember when you were little and there was a special, warm, caring home you’d want to go to because there was food you loved, a fun back yard, and festivities for the holidays? That was probably a 4 Life Path/6 Life Path home. A home with a 4/6Vibration can be a blessing for everyone. If you do not have children, or if you are a 4/6 couple that is just dating, then your home, friends, and family will still be a major priority for you as a couple.

4–7: These two often get together for security, and that’s what keeps them a couple. Passionate love is often lacking, and I have found that 4s and 7s sometimes step outside the marriage for a love affair and yet never leave their partner. Now, if you’re in such a relationship don’t put this book down and punch your partner in the nose; most 4s and 7s are absolutely and perfectly faithful. Take steps now to find out what your partner needs from you. One real plus in this relationship is that the 4s providing security makes it possible for the 7s to bring their brilliant ideas to fruition. What the 7 brings to the 4 is fascinating insights on almost everything. The 4s tend to be homebodies, and the 7s can encourage them to look at the natural wonders of the world. The 4 will have life experiences they never would have without the 7 as their guide.

4 and 7: This is a relationship that has a serious tone about it and may be driven by a mutual need for security. It is loyal and devoted, even it it may lack the fire and passion of some combinations. The 4 is a natural provider of rock solid security and home values. The 7 provides a quest for continued mental development and adventure. The combination makes life both secure and yet more interesting for both.

The 4 Life Path with the 7 Life Path This relationship is considered Compatible in Numerology and can be really comfortable. There is a good connection between the 4 and the 7. The 4 shares their factualinformation, and the 7 is fascinated. They are both intrigued with what the other has to say, and they also have a love of nature. If they can get away on vacations to a beautiful place, such as Greece, Tahiti, or Aruba, it is a good thing to do for this relationship. Their minds are so attuned that when they are hanging out in a room, without saying a word, they both are comfortable with the silence. The concern I have is that a 4 and 7 get so comfortable they act like roommates, and romance simply fades away. Lovemaking becomes scheduled as physical exercise. It is no longer passionate, sexy, or creative.

Unfortunately, when this happens, one of them may step out of the relationship. I have counseled many couples with this Number combination where one of the two had an affair, yet they came back to the 4/7 relationship because the 4 and the 7 feel safe with each other, and they enjoy the financial success they have created as a couple, or they come back for the family they love. They might step out for sexual excitement, but they will return. When this happens, a certain amount of trust is lost forever, and to avoid this unhappy chapter, it is really important this couple find a way to keep sex fun and to keep their love alive.

Find ways to interact with each other every day and be as intimate as you can be. Don’t lose the magic that brought you together in the first place.4–8: The 4–8 combination can work because both are business minded, and their goals in life are similar. The 4 can map out a plan so that the 8’s big dream can be achieved. Since the 4 and 8 learn the hard way, they will have to really focus to make their dreams come true. Their life lessons are often difficult, but the payoff is well worth it. Perseverance is the key word in this partnership. The 4s need to avoid dropping verbal bombs that cause instant arguments, and 8s need to avoid blaming others when something goes wrong.

The 8 needs to remember that when you blame someone else, you lose all of your power. Both vibrations tend to be hard workers. As a couple it is imperative that they remember to stop and smell the roses. To verbally express love can be difficult for both, especially if they are hanging onto past resentments. This is something the 4–8 will need to work on, especially if they decide to have children. These people are fiercely loyal and protective of their loved ones. Investing money early in this relationship is a wise decision, and they can start building that nest egg they need to feel safe. When the 4–8s put their minds together, the sky is truly the limit!

4 and 8: This is a comfortable pairing because both parties understand hard work and have a good head for business and getting ahead in the world. The 4 is the cautious planner, while the 8 has a more grandiose approach to endeavors. The only problem probably can be one of finding the time to spend together in a quest for romance. Yet this is a couple that knows how to build for the future and develop a very secure relationship.

The 4 Life Path with the 8 Life Path This relationship is another Natural Match in Numerology, but this one has some difficult lessons attached to it. When things go wrong, the 4 and the 8 have to join forces and say to each other, 'We’re in this together and there is nothing we can’t overcome.' If in this economy, one of you loses a job, repeat, 'We are a team.' That way the relationship can remain solid. The minute it becomes a blame game, when the 4 says it’s the 8’s fault and the 8 says the same thing about the 4, the relationship can become ugly very fast. I have seen this Number coupling get divorced and remain bitter with their ex-spouse for years afterwards. Yet I’ve also had 4/8 couples who tell me, 'Look, we have been through some tough times, but we weathered the storm. We are stronger now than before, and we love each other more than ever.' So if you are a 4 and 8 Life Path combination, just know that, by working as a team, you always can get it right. If youfind yourselves heading down separate roads, just stop and say, 'We are a Natural Match, and we have more things in common than not, and we can make this work.

4–9: The first thought I have is that the 4s and 9s handle their lives completely differently. The 9 likes to help the world in a big way, such as public speaking at charity events, working the phones at a crisis centre, etc. They give so much that they sometimes feel no one is giving back. The 4 must be sympathetic to the 9’s humanitarian instincts. They should lend an ear when the 9 can no longer take the stress. The 4 will be impressed with the knowledge and insight the 9 possesses; having an intelligent partner means a great deal to the 4 vibration. The 9 must realize that home is the 4’s sacred space where they can rest and plan their future. The 4s are not as social as the 9s. The 9 must accept this and know that the true gift the 4 offers is their complete loyalty to the relationship. The 4 must try not to be too critical of the 9’s family—the 9 will take it to heart and it could lead to the deterioration of the relationship. If the 4 and 9 concentrate on each other’s strengths, the relationship will flourish.

4 and 9: These two are so very different that successful pairings are rare. The 9 is far more social and fosters deep humanitarian instincts. The 4 is focused on the basics of building a secure and solid immediate world. To succeed in a relationship requires both to be aware of how different their approaches are, and somehow muster a willingness to accept. The 4 will certainly appreciate the 9's knowledge and intelligence, and the 9 must likewise value the 4's ruthless consistency.

The 4 Life Path with the 9 Life Path This relationship is considered a Challenge in Numerology. The 9 Life Path is selfless and cares a lot about the world, and the 4 Life Path can definitely join with that sentiment. The biggest conflict in their personality is that the 4 can become very quiet, and the 9 really loves to share their thoughts with their partner, so they can feel frustrated with the 4. Also, the 4s, who are direct and just tell you what they think and feel, can seem unduly critical to the 9 still healing (no matter what age they are) from the emotional scars from their own original family. They will not hear any more criticism, even if it is constructive.

The 9 is not trying to talk down to the 4, and the 9 does not think that they are superior. It is just that they have a lot of intuitive information that they believe the 4 can benefit from. So keep an open mind about where each of you is coming from. Compliments go a long way in this relationship. If the 4 can remember to flirt and be playful with the 9, and vice-versa, this can really have a healing effect and make it possible for lasting love.

3–3: The first thing I would say is if the 3–3 is living in the positive side of their vibration, then any measure of success is possible. If both 3s are succeeding in a creative way and are financially stable, this can be an incredible relationship. If, however, they meet at the beginning of their careers and are struggling, it is easy for them to escape into each other’s arms and be irresponsible. Running away from problems becomes the norm and when the bills are due, they come as a serious wakeup call. If both are in a creative field, such as acting, watch for trouble when competing with each other. The minute one becomes critical of the other it can lead to verbal warfare. The 3s believe in magic, and if they choose to empower each other, they can achieve whatever they desire. 3 and 3: Wild and interesting describes this pairing of two with so much creative and social potential. No one has more fun that a pair of 3s who understand and support one another. The question may become who is going to take care of the mundane. The pitfall of this relationship comes when neither partner can hold on to reins of practical everyday details.

The 3 Life Path with the 3 Life Path This relationship is considered a Natural Match and can be loads of fun. It can be very passionate and sexy. But someone has to do the dishes and take out the trash. This means that at least one of these starry-eyed 3s has to be responsible and stay grounded. They need to be paying the bills and making sure someone is bringing home the bacon. Sometimes these two enjoy each other so much they have a hard time being in real time. As a result, the relationship can fall apart. Although the 3 is a giving person, if one 3 is comfortable taking too much and not reciprocating, that can also be a problem. When the two 3s get upset, it tends to be a pretty loud argument because 3s are all about expressing themselves. Chances are good that they will both say what they think and feel, very probably at the top of their lungs.So, if you are both 3s, take care to work on the financial and practical side of your life. There will always be plenty of fun and passion, but if you neglect the nitty-gritty, the realities of life can suddenly overwhelm you. My advice to you lovebirds is simple: keep ahead of the daily grind, and remember your wonderful sense of humor saves you every time!

3–4: The 3–4 duo can be a tricky one: The 3 is spontaneous and likes to take chances, whereas the 4 likes to map everything out and have some kind of plan before making a move. The average 4 likes to know all he can of his future. The 3, on the other hand, believes in seizing the day. The 3 and the 4 are going to have to make a real effort to make their partnership last. It will take compromise on both sides. For instance, the 4 will make a statement, consider it sound, and figure that’s the end of the conversation. Wrong! The 3is the natural communicator and will always have an opinion. And the more the 3 talks, the quieter the 4 gets, behaviour which will drive the 3 crazy.

If you are in a 3–4 combination, here’s what you do: the 4s need to embrace the 3s’ passion and love of life—they tend to be lucky, so the 4s should not be afraid to let go a little. The 3s need to be grateful for the 4s’ loyalty and the solid base for living that they provide. They can fly a little higher knowing that a strong net is there to catch them should they fall. 3 and 4: When the spontaneous 3 pairs with the micro-manager 4, something has to give, and often it won't. The 3 will take each day as it comes while the 4 has to have a definite plan far into the future. If the two can ever figure out how to meet in the middle, they will do a good job of balancing each other's shortcomings. The 3 will show the 4 how to have fun while the 4 can give the 3 a needed sense of security.

The 3 Life Path with the 4 Life Path This relationship is considered a Challenge and will require some work on both sides. The 3, because they are usually creative, expressive, and outgoing, seeks to become a star on some level. They need to know that the 4 is that solid base that they can come back home to. The average 4 is responsible and very loyal. If they make a commitment to you, they stand by it. The 3 must learn to express their appreciation of the wonderful qualities the 4 brings to their relationship. The 3 must not get into the habit of being critical of what they feel the 4 lacks. A deeply wounded 4 is someone no one wants to be around, especially the 3 who gets over things so quickly. The 4 does not. It is possible that the 4 isn’table to provide all the exciting conversation that the 3 might want. In that case the 3 should seek that trait in other friendships and just love and honor what the 4 does bring to the union. The stability the 4 brings to thisrelationship is a gift beyond compare to the electric energy of the 3.

3–5: The 3–5 couple will delight in each other’s company. They will be the life of any party. Since the 5 is the natural detective, and the 3 likes to hear every story (they have to be in the know), these two fascinate each other endlessly. Needless to say, these energies do very well in the more creative professions. Money can be a problem if they do not pay close attention to the budget and the bills. If possible, they should get someone else to manage the money. I always say that 3s and 5s are like bright lights and, as bright lights, they can attract bugs. As a couple, they have to be careful not to take on too many people and projects that take all their energy; otherwise, they can become so drained that they have nothing left to give each other. 3 and 4: When the spontaneous 3 pairs with the micro-manager 4, something has to give, and often it won't. The 3 will take each day as it comes while the 4 has to have a definite plan far into the future. If the two can ever figure out how to meet in the middle, they will do a good job of balancing each other's shortcomings. The 3 will show the 4 how to have fun while the 4 can give the 3 a needed sense of security.

The 3 Life Path with the 5 Life Path This relationship is considered Compatible in Numerology. I call this pair the 'lights of Numerology.' People are very drawn to these Vibrations, so the 3 and the 5 have to be careful not to bring people into their lives that cause chaos and hurt their relationship. They need to find ways to spend quality time with each other. If the 5s go off on their own too often, if they have to travel a great deal in their work and they are not spending much time with the 3, the 3 will feel neglected. The 3s do need attention and must feel valued by their partner. If this does not happen, the 3s can end up feeling neglected and that can really hurt the relationship. The 3 and the 5 must develop creative ways to spend quality time together—joining each other on weekends even if it entails an 8-hour flight, for instance—and not let outside forces interfere with what can be an enduring, loving relationship. Every time I have witnessed a 3 Life Path/5 Life Path break up, it had to do with outside forces getting in the way of an otherwise positive love relationship.

3–6: This can be a terrific partnership because these two are of like minds (creative). The 3 will enjoy the magnetism of the 6 and will encourage them to be strong. The 6 will make the 3 feel taken care of and loved. I have also seen this combination of numbers do very well in business. An important consideration is what the 3 does for work. Whether it is show business or hairdressing, if the 3 feels like a star in life, no effort will be too much for him to see that the 6 is happy and feels secure. If the 3 or 6 does not feel appreciated, it can destroy an otherwise perfect match. Sexual chemistris one thing they will not have to worry about. It’s always there. This couple needs to take time out for romantic interludes, and remember that the best escape is in each other’s arms. 3 and 6: This is a natural combination that works well in most cases. The 3 is full of enthusiasm and ideas, and the 6 provides the stability, support, and encouragement that often makes this combination an idea team in many ways. The chemistry here is very strong and durable. The challenge of this combination can come in the form of 6 jealous feelings toward the oft flirtatious 3. Usually it will be the 6 who will have to learn to deal with an inborn trait.

The 3 Life Path with the 6 Life Path This relationship is a Natural Match, which is always a good beginning. If this couple chooses to marry and have children, they will enjoy being parents. The 6 is the natural parent. So they have that nurturing side to them. The 3s can be playful, almost like another kid, with their children. Although they certainly know how to discipline, there is still a real playfulness to the 3, which works beautifully with the nurturing of the 6. The 3 and the 6 appreciate each other and let the other shine. The 3s need to know that the 6s must be in charge and call the shots on many levels, and they should try to respect that.

The 3 is very verbal and sometimes will say something without thinking about how it sounds, and they can hurt the feelings of their 6 partner. Occasionally, it is best for the 3s to keep their thoughts to themselves, and let the 6 Life Path do their thing without offering their unsolicited opinion. The 3 should know the 6 is usually striving to make the relationship more fulfilling for both of them. The 6 needs to also be aware of how sensitive the 3 is to their unsolicited comments as well. The 6 should encourage the humorous side of the 3, to keep both laughing and enjoying each other’s company.

3–7: This is a case where opposites attract. The number one thing a 3–7 couple have is phenomenal physical chemistry. While the 7s are elusive and will not always be willing to share their thoughts, the 3s love to say what they are thinking and feeling at all times. The 7 will admire the charismati personality of the 3, and can learn to appreciate people by seeing them through the loving eyes of the 3. The 3 will embrace the words and wisdom of the 7 when they feel like expressing themselves. The 3s have a love of people, where 7s can only take so much human contact before they have texcuse themselves to be alone—preferably with nature. If the 3 can accept this part of the 7, all is well. However, if the 3 feels the 7 is not listening to them and begins to question the 7, the 7 will shut down even more. Then the 3 will feel unloved and rejected, which can lead to depression. If the 7s are in turmoil, they can be cynical, which can rob the 3 of their natural vitality. If these two numbers are living in spirituality, they will enrich each other’s lives greatly.

3 and 7: These two are about as different as people get. The 3 wants to be constantly on the go with a swirl of activity, travel, and social contact that the 7 will find intolerable. The 7 needs solitude and can only take so much human contact before retreating to their preferred peace and quiet. Confrontation in this pairing never works well, and it will be up to both to understand the long-term need for compromise. The key to success here is open dialog regarding wants, needs, and goals.

The 3 Life Path with the 7 Life Path This relationship is considered a Challenge and serves as an interesting Number combination. The first thing I see when I look at the 3 and the 7 is their tremendous chemistry. I have counseled many people who are a 3 Life Path and 7 Life Path couple. They would always say it was the sexual fireworks in the beginning of the relationship that brought them together. What can go wrong is the need the 3s have to explain and express themselves. Unhappily, the 7 Life Path can mentally tune them out. The 7 can look at the 3, and the 3 can tell they are not listening and are no longer involved in the conversation. That lack of response can be so hurtful to the 3 Life Path.

The 3s need to understand that the 7 is not doing this to be cruel. Sometimes the 7s have to zone out or be by themselves and get back to their own thoughts, needs, and desires. I have seen this relationship work well when the 7 Life Path has a 3 in their Personal Numerology Blueprint or vice-versa. This helps them to relate well to their differences. If the 3 can help the 7 find aspiritual base to believe in, that is extremely important in the relationship. Otherwise, the 7 can get bitter and upset the 3, because the 3 wants to look for the best in any situation. If the 3 is in a great mood and the 7 is feeling down, it can take the sun right out of the sky for the 3 Life Path. That is why this couple must be aware of each other’s feelings.

3–8: This relationship takes a bit of work. The 8s can be caught up in their goals to the exclusion of all else, making the 3 feel neglected, as though they are not a priority. The key to success here is for the 3 to respect that the 8 is trying to provide security, and the 3s also need fill their own cups with interesting activities. Then when the 8 and 3 get together, they do not dwell on their separations, but share their adventures and treasure their private moments. If the 3–8 go into business, especially if the 3 somehow stars in the enterprise, the partnership is often enhanced. An 8 living in the positive side of the vibration is very good with money, and sees that the partner is provided with the finest things. What to avoid: If the 8 feels victimized and blames others, the 3 will get fed up and want to move on. This does not have to happen and 3–8s can have a very loving and financially stable union.

3 and 8: This is a combination that requires extra effort mostly because of the departure of needs. The 8 needs goals and authority to feel happy, and efforts focused here leave the 3 without needed attention and stimulation. The secret to success in this combination, if there is one, is frequent getaways; periods when the 3 gets the 8 away from business and relaxed enough to have some fun. There isn't much frivolity in the 8, and this can sometimes be a tough sale.

The 3 Life Path with the 8 Life Path This relationship is a Challenge and requires some compromise on both sides. The 8 Life Path cares about what things look like. The 3 Life Path is known for their bright eyes and beautiful smile. The 8 Life Path tends to love the special beauty of the 3. The 8 likes to be proud of their partner. The irony, of course, is that the 3 does not want to be judged for their looks. They want to be praised and want to be told, 'You look beautiful' no matter what is going on. That is something the 8 must learn in order to make this relationship with a 3 Life Path long lasting. But if the 8 feels that the 3 comes up short and the 8 expresses that opinion, this can lead to a real problem in this relationship. That is why this pairing is considered a Challenge in Numerology. It is best if these two numbers can just focus on their good traits.

For instance, if the 8 is making money and providing, the 3 needs to understand that is the gift they bring to their relationship. However, if the 8 Vibration is having issues with money and becomes really comfortable spending the 3’s money, this relationship will not work. Again, the 3 and the 8 need to sit down and decide what it is they want from one another, and what they can do to keep it secure. It is all about the 8 expressing their thoughts too directly, and the 3 needing to consider what the 8 really meant before they go off on a angent to verbally execute the 8. Both these Life Path Numbers need to choose their words carefully.

3–9: This can be a relationship filled with laughter and great conversation. It is imperative that the 9 not let their old family issues interfere with their present relationship with the 3. The 3 will take the 9’s problems to heart, and when they cannot help solve the problem, the 3 will eventually give up in despair. This relationship is based on verbal communication. The 3–9 relationship is intense and can lead to huge arguments with passionate reunions in the bedroom. This couple must make time for romantic getaways. The 3–9s enjoy new people, places, new ideas, and will have opinions on everything. The 3–9s agree with each other most of the time, but as in all relationships, a spiritual base is what will keep this union healthy.

3 and 9: This is a wonderful combination of two people who are apt to keep each other endlessly engaged in a variety of creative ways. Both like to be on stage and both are interested in people. They care about people and the 9 can be generous to a fault. The 9 is the teacher and the 3 is the ever eager student. Sharing experience is a never ending joy of this pairing. The problem the couple faces is settling down, feathering a nest, and keeping the bills paid. Even after they are settled and set, romantic adventures will always be important.

The 3 Life Path with the 9 Life Path This relationship is a Natural Match, and can make for a lovely relationship. The 3s feel called upon to motivate and uplift others, and the 9s are the humanitarians. These two can actually partner and make the world a better place. They can volunteer for a charity, or any endeavor where they help other people. On Thanksgiving Day, shelters invite people to serve dinners to the homeless. The 3 and the 9 would feel so good about such a mission. They celebrate life. They love to throw parties to bring their friends and families together, and make everyone feel loved and taken care of. One caution for this relationship is that the 9s have to let go of the past. Any of those hang-ups from earlier periods of their life are unhealthy for the relationship. The 9 Vibration must learn to be in the moment. Otherwise, if the 3 feels like the 9 is not really emotionally there for them, it can damage the relationship. Also, if this couple chooses to have children, the 9 must be living in the moment to enjoy their offspring.

He or she must focus on the present and on the current family. That is something the 9 has to work on in order to keep this relationship thriving. When the 3 and the 9 are doing well and live on the Positive side of their numbers, this can be an enchanting relationship.

2–2: Above all else, the 2 Vibration needs love, lots and lots of it. There is no greater love than a 2 with a 2, because they both have the same need to give and receive love, and they’re going to have great respect for each other. The 2s will always be very polite to each other, always making sure the other is taken care of. What can go wrong? Well, if one of them feels under attack they can lash out in such a way as to deeply wound their partner. When the smoke clears, the angry one is filled with remorse, while the other often cannot let it go. I strongly advise the 2 to avoid going to that ugly place, because in Numerology, their love is truly a gift. 2 and 2: A great match of two souls both needing to give and receive love. Experts at mediation, they have little difficulty finding common ground on just about any issue that arises. The only word of caution for this pairing is that they must each remember how thin their own skin is so as to not cause verbal injury to the other. Generally this is not a problem because of their polite manner and mutual respect.

The 2 Life Path with the 2 Life Path This relationship is considered a Natural Match in Numerology and can be lovely, especially if the two people involved have been in bad relationships before. There is an appreciation of the kindness each shows the other. Since the 2 is a natural giver, they seem to compete in caring. It is nonstop and sexually it can be difficult to get out of that bedroom, because the chemistry is so fantastic. The only thing that can get in the way of this perfect match occurs when the 2 feels angry or defensive andbecomes the 'Terrible 2,' like a child having a temper tantrum, and the other 2 (when calm, that is) won’t take well to that. Anger can cause some hard feelings. They have to be careful not to let their emotions get carried away, and realize that this fellow 2 supports them and wants them to be happy.

They should take the time to relate their feelings to each other every day, to keep a wonderful union going smoothly.2–3: The 2–3 combination can work very well together. The 3 is the communicator and entertainer, and the 2 makes an amazing audience. The 2s can be very supportive and don’t tend to crave the spotlight, so this can be a great combination when it comes to love. There will be a lot of laughter and great physical chemistry. If a 3 energy hooks up with a more competitive number, there is friction, whereas the 2 has no problem being behind the scenes as long as they are appreciated. The 2 is comfortable in that position, and it’s the only number in Numerology that is sincerely like that. If a 2 is reading this and says, 'Wait, I like to be number one,' I say, check your other Primary Numbers. Chances are you’ll find a 1, or some other competitive number there.

2 and 3: These are potentially very good partners because of the good humor and good chemistry. The 3 is always "on stage" and full of life and social energy, while the 2 is happy as a lark standing back and enjoying the show. The 2 balances the needs of the 3 by providing a soothing and calming influence.

The 2 Life Path with the 3 Life Path This relationship tends to be very Compatible. The 3 is a communicator, usually has a great sense of humor, and the 2 makes a great audience. The 2 gets the biggest kick out of the 3, and the 3 is a natural performer, so you definitely have the complete attention of the 2 Life Path. The 2, however, is affectionate and needs love, and the 3 can get caught up in their work. If they are not careful, that can be a problem. This is especially true if the 2 has a 5 somewhere in their chart, or another number that makes them look for love elsewhere, if they cannot find it at home. The 3s needs to keep in mind that the 2 Life Path is a loyal person, but don’t take them or their kindness for granted. They need nurturing. Check on them, often, to see what they think and how they feel, and then the relationship will be magical.

2–4: The 2–4 combination can be extremely fulfilling. The 2s need to feel loved and 4s likes to provide security, so when it comes to home and family, this can be the perfect match. The 4s are builders and like to have a plan, and 2s are peacemakers. When both numbers are living in the positive energy of their vibrations, it makes for one of the better combinations that I have observed in Numerology. The problem the 2–4 can have is that 2s like to know where they stand in a relationship at all times, and when a 4 is troubled, they retreat within. If the 2 pushes for communication, the 4 will withdraw even more. I caution the 2 not to take the 4’s silence personally. This is the time for the 2 to focus on other things in their life that they may be neglecting. When the 4 feels they have solved the problem inwardly, they will come back to the 2, confident and ready to show their love and appreciation for their patience and understanding. 2 and 4: This is a steady pairing resulting in comfort personified. When it comes to home and family, the 4 is the ultimate builder and provider. Security is 4's forte. Nothing is more appealing to the 2 than home, hearth, and family. The only difficulty likely here is one of perception. The 2 needs love to be shown and always physically apparent, and the 4 is sometimes not so demonstrative.

The 2 Life Path with the 4 Life Path This relationship is a Natural Match in Numerology, so there is natural rapport. The 2, again, is a loving person who welcomes the intelligence of the 4. The 4 usually likes to settle down and have a partner. In that way they are very compatible, but the 4 can become a workaholic and not always communicate what they think or feel. This is hard on the sensitive 2, and can result in an unhealthy partnership. I suggest, since the 4 is not always one to verbalize what they think, they make an effort to show their appreciation to the 2. Not just on the big holidays but unexpectedly, just to say how much they love and value this person in their life. Use your imagination, 4. The 2 will be so appreciative. This is especiallyimportant if they do get married and have children. The 2 Life Path would be such an emotional support to the kids, and the 4 Life Path needs to really recognize this and communicate how grateful they are, and then this relationship can last forever. When the 2 Life Path and the 4 Life Path are living on the Positive side of the numbers, it is a beautiful thing to witness.

2–5: The 2–5 combination will definitely take some work. The 2s need their families and their homes. The 5s need the freedom to go out and do whatever they feel is important. They also need to feel they are in control of the couple’s activities. If the 2 feels unloved or neglected, and expresses this to the 5, the 5 may feel they are being smothered. The 5 needs to take time out to acknowledge the 2’s kindness and love, so the 2 will not panic and feel the relationship is in trouble. If either one believes his or her way of living is the only way, the relationship will not last. The 5 will provide excitement and the 2 will provide a warm, safe environment in which love flourishes. The 2–5 must celebrate their differences and realize that with each other they can have a richer experience of life. 2 and 5: The 2 needs family and an ever present sense of being loved, and the 5 need total freedom to pursue whatever avenues appear on the horizon. This is one where the chemistry has to be very strong in order for the two very different souls to forge some significant compromises. Obviously, these two can provide a lot that may otherwise be missing, but it won't be an easy road.

The 2 Life Path with the 5 Life Path This relationship is considered a Challenge in Numerology and can be tricky. The first thing I would say is that they have chemistry, and that is what brought them together. It is the reason that at first they cannot keep their hands off each other. But the underlying truth is that a 5 must feel they can come and go and have the freedom to do whatever they feel needs to get done. The 2 Life Path can appear needy and say, 'Where are you going? What time will you be back?' Words like these scare a 5 Life Path, and they can suddenly feel stifled. My message to the 2 in this relationship is that you’ve got to let that 5 go off, do their thing, and trust they will come back. They really will. As a wise woman once said to me, 'Hold on tight, with open hands.' The 5 also has to understand that when the 2 is feeling a little insecure, they shouldn’t think that they are being controlled by the 2. Just let the 2 know that they are valued. It is all aboutchecking in with the 2 Life Path to let them know what your plans are, so they are not surprised that you are not coming home for that amazing dinner they cooked for you. By keeping in touch throughout the day, the 2 will be understanding, which is what the 5 really wants. By making this effort of being considerate, you can help this relationship last and avoid what can become an inevitable breakup.

2–6: The 2–6 is a great pair for love. The 6 represents family and 2 represents love. By bringing these two energies together as a couple, the association can last a lifetime. It is important that the 2 praise and acknowledge all the good the 6 does for them. The 6 must let the 2 know how much they appreciate all the little things the 2 does to make their life romantic and sweet. The 6 tends to be very direct and must learn to choose their words with care, so as not to hurt the 2’s feelings. The 2s are easy-going until they feel defensive; then they become the terrible 2s. If this happens often enough, the relationship, no matter how strong, can turn sour. An awareness of each other’s true needs is the key to this relationship’s success.

2 and 6: This is another good love match. The 6 ranks first in family while the 2 tops the chart in love and caring. Still the pair need to watch their Ps and Qs as the 6 has a surprising need for approbation, and 2's thin skin can suffer with the direct and demanding approach that sometimes characterizes the 6. Considerations of feelings is a must. The 2 Life Path with the 6 Life Path This relationship is considered Compatible in Numerology. A 2 Life Path and 6 Life Path can be terrific together, especially when they choose to have a family. If this couple doesn’t have children, they might have pets or own a company in which both are passionately involved. Again, the 2 is the supportive one, and the 6 is a powerhouse that needs to be looked up to. They want to be valued and respected, and the 2 does that very well. Still, the 6 needs to make sure the 2 is not feeling taken advantage of or used, because when they do, the 2 can become the 'Terrible 2,' and nobody wins when that happens.

The 2 Life Path needs to keep in mind that the 6 Life Path has no problem working hard, but they are highly motivated by gratitude. The 2 might think that the day will come when the 6 knows exactly who they are and won’t need their praise or feedback. Not true. The 2’s job as cheerleader is safe for the duration of their time together. It shouldn’t be too hard to do. The 6 Life Path can be a pretty terrific person! These are champion parents so, if they have kids, it’s important for them to make time to get romantic, to take off for a weekend of wonderful romance. It is not a good idea to be so involved with the children that you lose sight of why you got together in the first place. Remember, someday they will grow up and be gone. Keep your love alive.

2–7: It is very important for the 2–7 couple to be living in the positive side of their numbers. For example, if a 7 has not found faith and is still cynical, the 2 will become drained trying to make the 7 happy. In Numerology, the 2 and the 7 are considered naturally psychic, and when they are in tune with this gift they are a joyous couple. However, 2s like to communicate verbally withtheir partners at all times, and 7s sometimes have nothing to say. There is a dialogue playing constantly in the 7’s mind, which can make the 2 feel very lonely. The 2s have to find something of their own to focus on—whether it’s taking a night class to learn a new skill, or doing volunteer work with the old, or the sick, to utilize their loving nature. This is a good couple for working together in the healing professions. With patience and the right kind of work, these two can be blissfully happy.

2 and 7: This is a couple that has some strong and dissimilar needs. The 2's need for demonstrative love and 7's need for a good deal of space and solitude make this a pairing that will work only if both can stay tuned in to the other's needs and be willing to cater to them at least to some degree. Generally the 2 will have to find something to occupy much of the time that would otherwise be devoted to the mate.

The 2 Life Path with the 7 Life Path This relationship is considered a Challenge, but I have seen these Vibrations work well together. The 7 Life Path and the 2 Life Path are very sensitive, but in different ways. If it a man (the 2 or 7), they have the sensitivity of the woman. If it is a woman (the 2 or 7), she can be strong and even a little tough, but there is still a vulnerability there. There are times that the 7 Life Path needs their solitude; that can be difficult for the 2 Life Path to understand, because the 2 wants to have a solid partner. They want to be held by and connected with their mate all the time. It is just natural for them. Sometimes the 7 will reject that connection, and the 2 must learn not to take it personally.

The 7 Life Path knows that some of the biggest breakthroughs in their understanding of life occur when they are alone. So if the 2 Life Path can learn to give them that space, doing so can be a very healing to the relationship. Otherwise, the 2 will feel all alone: they can be in the same room as the 7, and they will feel no one is there. That is the differencebetween these numbers—one needs closeness and the other, plenty of space. When the 7 Vibration finds a basic faith that they believe in, it is wonderful for the 2, but if they don’t, they can become champion pessimists. The 2s are in tune with the emotional climate around them, and when they experience that emotion, they will feel vulnerable or depressed. So respecting each other’s feelings, no matter how different they are from your own, is the best thing to do in a 2 Life Path/7 Life Path pairing.

2–8: The 2–8 partnership can be very effective in business. If they are a couple in love, they should look at their relationship as a business, with one number taking care of the family, and the other providing the financial security needed to run the household. If the 8 is the breadwinner, he must be careful not to treat the 2 like a possession, but as a person he values greatly. The 8 must try to be aware of the 2’s feelings, because 8 is a very direct number and can easily say things that cause the 2 pain. The 2s are usually comfortable following a leader they like, and 8s need someone to follow them. Things can go wrong when a negative 8 feels victimized and blames everyone for what is not going right in their life. This is hard on the 2, who so wants to please and make others happy. The 2 will tolerate a great deal, and then suddenly they cannot go on. If you are in a 2–8 relationship make sure the 2 feels treasured and the 2 will see to it that the 8 feels loved.

With understanding, this combination can win at love. 2 and 8: A pairing that usually works very well because it is likely that each has a clear vision of their role. The 8 is about the outer world of business and attainment, taking care of the financial needs of the family. The 2 takes care of the family and is there to pamper the ego of their partner. A pitfall in this relationship can occur if the 8 fails to sufficiently value the labors of the 2. Generally, this is the classic traditional family model, or in the case of the male 2, female 8, the classic male/female role reversal.

The 2 Life Path with the 8 Life Path This relationship is a Natural Match couple that can be very good together. If it is an 8 male that is attracted to the 2 female, the 2 must care about her appearance because the 8 male appreciates a woman who works on looking her best. As for an 8 female, she needs a sweet, gentle guy and will want the loving 2 Vibration male. However, the 2 male must also be strong, so the 8 female does not feel she can walk all over him. The 2 reminds the 8 to take the time to love life, because 8s can be workaholics and sometimes they forget to stop and really relax. The 2 can remind them to do that. If they choose to gettogether, they should treat their love like a business. They can make time to be with each other by scheduling it. Also take the time to arrange date nights, because the romance in a long-term relationship has to be nourished by more romance. It is especially important for these two Vibrations to keep the affectionate part of their love alive and well.

2–9: The reason this one works is that the 2 Vibration needs love and is very open about letting you know how they feel, and when in a relationship with a 2, the 9 is reminded that someone gives a darn about them. Remember, 9s are usually the ones who are leading the pack. When they do something good, we want to follow; when they do something bad, we’ll still follow them. Up there at the head of the pack, if they’re overwhelmed, does anyone have a clue? Everyone thinks that the 9s are just fine, they always seem to be in control. Well, the 2 will intuitively realize that something is wrong. The 2 is a caretaker and will say, 'Are you okay?' They’ll also take that time out to say, 'I’m so impressed with what you did.' What can go wrong? The 2s hate to be alone, and when 9s are out there saving the planet, they must remember to come home and shower love on the 2 who needs them most. If they do not, it can cause a rift in an otherwise loving relationship.

2 and 9: These two can have a wonderful relationship or it can be not so wonderful. The 2 needs constant attention, and certainly the 9 is a caring individual. But the care they naturally possess is spread to all humanity and often it is not focused enough at home. The 9 is a natural leader and the 2 is a natural follower, so there is always hope. The 9 needs to remember that the 2 hates to be alone, and the 2 needs to be forewarned that the 9's love will only stretch so far.

The 2 Life Path with the 9 Life Path This relationship is Compatible and can be a great connection in Numerology. The 9 is the lover of humanity and has a lot of wisdom. The 2 will respond beautifully. As I said earlier, the 2 loves a strong leader whom they can respect, so the 2 can look up to the 9 and say, 'Wow, what can I learn from you? What insights do you have for me?' The 2 is sincerely intrigued and interested. It is important the 9 let go of those occasions in the past that caused them pain, because if they cannot find a way to be in the moment, it will lead to unhappiness for the 2. The 2s are psychically in tune to their partners and can feel when they are not emotionally there for them. That is the key to success here: if the 9 cannot let go of the past, it will really hurt this relationship, but if the 9 learns to be in the moment with the 2, this partnership can be terrific; a real love match in Numerology.

1–1: Let’s talk about the 1–1 relationship. When these two join forces, they are dynamite, because both are competitive and both want to be number one. In harmony, they can run a business and turn it into an empire. But the minute they compete with each other, the minute that jealousy or conflict rears its ugly head, they are in desperate trouble. Harmful competition makes them volatile, angry, and vindictive. So, to two 1s, I say, 'Look straight ahead. Look at the vision of what you are creating together.' Since they are critical of themselves inside, 1s will manifest their criticism outside. Let’s say they want to take over a company. If they work together, their criticism works to an advantage, but if they get into the habit of putting each other down, they can quickly become very small, very petty. The relationship goes from 'We can do anything' to 'We can do nothing. We can’t even get out of this house, we’re so busy fighting.' My advice is to stay on track, and to not lose your real focus.

1 and 1: Two people with a strong desire to lead, and, two people who want very much to be independent. Two 1s in a relationship understand and accept each other perhaps better than any other number can understand the 1. This is a relationship not without pitfalls as the match can get dicey when they start to compete. But for the most part, it is a good one filled with excitement and activity.

The 1 Life Path with the 1 Life Path

This relationship is considered a Natural Match in Numerology. When two 1 Life Path Numbers come together, it is so important that they pick a common goal. They must say, 'We are in this together.' They must not be competitive with each other; otherwise the relationship will sour. They must learn to say that whatever comes their way, they can talk it through, they can work it out, and no pointing fingers or playing the blame game. The 1 Vibration strives to do the best that they can, and if they do it together, they are twice as strong. But I have found time and again that the 1 Life Path Number does not take criticism well, so nagging and nitpicking are out of the question. The most important advice I can give you, if you are both 1 Life Paths, is to treat each other with respect and find ways to compliment each other. If you start feeling judgmental toward your partner, it is best to and keep your negative feelings to yourself. When you do work together as a team, you make for fierce competition and then the sky is the limit!

1–2: A 1–2 relationship can be very good. Let’s say a 1 Vibration is running a business and in charge of what they do there, but the 2 partner, who always needs hugs and kisses, reminds them to love, and to continue the romance which brought them together in the first place. See how that can be a balance? They can have the best of both worlds. The 2 gets the benefit of the 1 making a living and the 2 makes their home lovely, warm, and ready for whatever life brings. The way the 1–2 relationship can go wrong is if the 1 is always working and constantly on the go. As a result the 2 feels abandoned and starts reaching out for more attention, making the 1 feel trapped. I’ve observed these numbers enough to know that while the 1–2s are different, their partnership can work if each respects the other’s needs. 1 and 2: Two very different people who do well if they remember their roles. The 1 is best equipped to be the breadwinner, and the 2 will be the one to feather the nest and keep the warmth of romance alive and well. The 1 must avoid being distracted and never forget how important attention is for the 2 partner.

The 1 Life Path with the 2 Life Path This relationship is considered Compatible in Numerology. The 1 Life Path usually counts themselves as lucky because the 2 Life Path will go out of their way to make the 1 comfortable and happy, and they are affectionate and kind. The key to keep the love strong for the 1 is to be aware of how sensitive the 2 can be. Sometimes 1s are so caught up in their career—or whatever their goals are—that they just shoot off their mouths and say what they think and feel, and the 2 is crushed. That is when the 2 will shut down, and when they do, they look so unhappy and wounded. To avoid that from happening, the 1 needs to thank the 2 for all the good that he or she does, and the 2 needs to continue praising the 1, because as strong as 1s appear, they actually have trouble with self-esteem. They have an inner prompt telling them, 'I am never good enough.' I think that the 2 is a wonderful gift to the 1 in the way that they love to give praise. Keeping a close check on each other’s feelings will keep this relationship healthy.

1–3: This combination can work because the 3 is usually very good at praising and acknowledging the partner—something the 1 definitely needs. The 1 is ambitious and can help the 3 to focus and achieve their dreams. Their conversations are stimulating as is their physical relationship. The 1–3 couples often keep the romance alive by role-playing in the bedroom. No one enjoys assuming a role more than the 3 and nobody enjoys a new conquest more than a 1. The thing for this couple to avoid is being too critical of one another, as neither vibration handles criticism well. The 3 can become depressed, and the 1 may seek out another who will make them feel special. These two must learn to choose their words carefully. That said, if they do team up, they do extremely well together. 1 and 3: This is a very lively couple that seem to shamelessly enjoy life and each other. The 3 is good at acknowledging the 1 accomplishments and stroking the ego. The 3 provides the ideas and the 1 provides the push, so this couple can cover a lot of ground. Yet they have to be careful about what they say since neither handles criticism very well.

The 1 Life Path with the 3 Life Path This relationship is considered a Natural Match in Numerology and can be loads of fun. The 3 Life Path has a sense of humor and can make the 1 Life Path laugh, so the 3 helps to lighten things up. They both can be very sexy and creative in the bedroom, coming up with ideas to keep that part of their life exciting and fun. The 1 Life Path, again, must learn the art of not being too judgmental with their partner, and the 3 has to remember that if things get too serious, they are very good at lightening things up with a great punch line. The big thing is to get back in the moment by keeping the conversation going and enjoying each other’s company. The 1 must be careful not to focus only on what matters to them each day.

The 3 will listen and give good advice, but will eventually resent the 1 and start thinking that they only care about themselves. It makes me think of the line, 'Well enough about me, let’s talk about you; what do you think of me?' Be each other’s best audience, and you can’t go wrong!1–4: These vibrations tend to do better in business than in love. In love the 1 is spontaneous and has high energy, while the 4 can feel uneasy in any situation that is out of their control. The 4 needs time to think things through and make a plan. The 1 will have trouble waiting, and the 4 will be appalled by the 1’s impatience. In business, however, there is an understanding that if the 4 has a good idea, the 1 can put it into action immediately. In this situation, the 4 will appreciate the follow-through of the 1, because 4s are known for having great ideas that never come to fruition. This is a case where the couple must be able to accept each other’s differences and compromise. Two very different energies here, but love can conquer all.

1 and 4: 4's desire for control is a tough sell on the 1. The 1's need to make things happen now, frustrates the meticulous 4. Opposites in many ways, these two should not expect easy compromise. If they ever can accept one another for who they are, their respective strengths will make a solid relationship.

The 1 Life Path with the 4 Life Path This relationship is considered a Challenge in Numerology and can have a few difficulties. The 1 Life Path is high energy, the mover and the shaker, eager to get things done. The 4 Life Path, on the other hand, likes to know what the plan is, and where do we stand? Because you two operate differently, you must understand and respect your differences. The 4 Life Path likes to analyze things and talk it through, whereas the 1 is more spontaneous and can be frustrated and feel that the 4 is trying to slow them down. When it comes to sex in the relationship, again, the 4 wants to know what their partner desires, whereas the 1, again, thinks that if you just trust it is going to be good, the lovemaking will be great.The biggest problem this relationship faces is the lack of understanding of what the other person is saying.

They are a Challenge, and a Challenge can feel as though they are speaking two different languages. The best thing these two Life Paths can do for each other is write down the problems and the potential solutions. Freed from the emotions of verbal expression, you can honestly share why you feel the way you do. Both the 1 and the 4 Vibrations will respond well to this, and it will keep the relationship on the right track.

1–5: The 1s and 5s are both mind numbers, with an ability to understand each other and their need for freedom and independence within the relationship. There can be tremendous compatibility for the 1–5 couple. The 5s need to avoid unnecessary drama—taking on everyone else’s problems, for example —because the 1s will lose respect and become acidly sarcastic. In the most successful 1–5 couples I have seen, both partners work and are 'almost too busy for ea other.' They don’t see each other as much as they would like, and when they get together, it’s a celebration! There is such excitement in just getting to share the stories of their adventures. Oddly, too much togetherness can destroy their strong bond.

1 and 5: This is a very compatible combination as both of these numbers are ones that like to have a lot of freedom in a relationship. The drive for independence is paramount for each. They may be so busy with their own 'thing' that time together is limited, very special, and often exciting. As you might expect, the most serious threat is when either tries to impose his or her will on the other. The 1 Life Path with the 5 Life Path This relationship is a Natural Match Combination. They are both cerebral

Life Path Numbers, and that means they have a lot going on in their heads. I find that if they stay busy, this relationship will remain solid. It is not uncommon for these two to have a career in similar fields, such as writing, reporting, producing, or teaching at the university level. If they do, they do not invade each other’s space. They just do their own thing and when they come back, they have a great time. This couple has to work at keeping things interesting in the bedroom. Maybe it could be role-playing, such as pretending to have a secret affair with each other, just to keep things sexy and fun, because both the 1 and 5 enjoy that. It is important to watch out that this sort of activity doesn’t degenerate into unwise behavior, such as too much drinking, or too much work, the kind that keeps you from family time, and so on. Travel is an excellent choice for the 1 and 5 couple. I believe the more trips you take together, the more satisfying the relationship will be.

1–6: These two can have a power struggle with each other. The 6s need to feel that they are in charge, and taking care of everything and everybody. At the same time the 1 has a strong desire to be, as the number suggests, first. These two powerful egos will clash, and the end results can be devastating. On the other hand, if they have a joint venture in which each plays an important, but separate, role and each feels valued and is acknowledged for it, this match can work out just fine. The phrase the 1–6 must avoid is, 'If I don’t do it myself, it will never get done.' These words must never be spoken in this relationship. Give each other praise and encouragement because, as you know in your hearts, there is nothing you cannot achieve.

1 and 6: This is a power struggle waiting to happen. The 6 wants and needs to a caretaker. The 1 has an absolute need to be independent and unrestrained. This can be a successful pairing only if they can work past this roadblock, and give each other the support they both need. The 1 Life Path with the 6 Life Path. This relationship is considered a Challenge in Numerology, and this couple has got to find a way to compromise. These are two powerhouses that have come together, and both want to be in charge. The only way to make it work is to have an agreement, something like, on one day, the 6 Life Path calls the shots, and the other day the 1 Life Path makes the decisions. They can’t afford to butt heads daily, and that’s a good way to solve the dilemma. Usually chemistry is the reason the 1 and 6 get together.

It is common for the 6 Life Path to think the 1 Life Path would be a great parent. So they get married quickly to have a baby, and then, all too often, they will end up in a lifetime power struggle. Nevertheless, I have seen 1 Life Paths and 6 Life Paths succeed as a couple. They did so by each being in charge of separate things in their lives. One would take care of the bills; the other would plan vacations for the family. Compromise is key. If they can find a way to work together, the relationship will last.

1–7: Because 1s and 7s are both mind numbers, the 1–7 couple never stops thinking and processing. The danger here is that they will dissect their partners until there is nothing left. There are some real differences here. The 7s, at times, need to be left alone to reflect and regroup. The 1 can take this personally, and I caution the 1 not to do this, just wait for the 7 to come back and things will be better than ever. If the 1 continually finds fault with the 7, things will get worse and will destroy what could have been a great relationship. The 7 has insights that are very valuable to the 1, and the 1 (as in the 1–4 relationship) is a great motivator, able to turn the 7’s dreams into practical reality. 1 and 7: These are very different energies but ones that somehow blend nicely. The 7 provides wise insights while the 1 becomes a needed motivator. The key is to understand the tendencies; the 1 can get too busy with the outer world to always be there for the 7, and the 7 can be too into their own world to be there for the 1. Neither should take this absence personally.

The 1 Life Path with the 7 Life Path This pair is considered a Natural Match in Numerology, always a good thing; however, the paces for these two are a bit different. A 7 Life Path usually doesn’t move as quickly as the 1. The 1 Vibration can be spontaneous and is an excellent multitasker. This can sometimes be overwhelming to a 7. There are times a 7 needs to regroup by being alone, and the 1 Life Path should not take this personally. There is an anxious energy to a 1, and when they want an answer to a question, they want it right away. Sometimes a 7 can’t respond as quickly as they have been asked to. The 1 needs to take a deep breath and understand that the 7 will come around when they are ready. This is a wonderful configuration of Numbers for a couple that can take trips together. These Numbers call for movement and activities. They can explore the world together, a wonderful way to keep the romance in the partnership. In any marriage, it is important to date one another, to dress up, eat dinner by candlelight, to keep that romance going. The 1 and the 7 should intentionally make plans to keep their love alive. If the 7 does not have faith and is cynical, the 1 will tire of that unpleasant attitude pretty quickly.

1–8:

The 8s can do well with a 1 because the 1 is ambitious and wants to make money. If they join forces in business, they are dazzling. In love, it’s extreme: It’s either excellent or it’s a disaster. These numbers do not handle criticism well. I believe it is because their own personal standards are so high, they always feel they are somehow not measuring up. They have this loud inner voice putting them down, and the last thing they need is their significant other giving negative feedback. That’s why if a 1 does fall in love with an 8, it can start out great and the next thing you know, they can’t stand the sight of each other. It is imperative for the 1 to acknowledge all the good that the 8 brings into their life.

Sometimes, the 8 needs to let the 1 win in the relationship. It can be as simple as letting the 1 win a disagreement you are having. The words 'You were right, honey, what was I thinking?' can go a long way when trying to make the 1 feel loved and appreciated. Compromise is the key here and then a solid partnership can develop. 1 and 8: From a business standpoint, this is a good match. But from the love angle, it is questionable at best. Both are so assertive and demanding, that expectations can far exceed reality. Negative feedback from either will be deadly in this pairing. Success depends on a open and mutual willingness to compromise and limit demands.

The 1 Life Path with the 8 Life Path This relationship is considered Neutral in Numerology. I have found that if they meet in some sort of business capacity, they can achieve big things together. The 8 likes to be with the best, and since the 1 strives to be number one, it is not too surprising when these two find each other, the fireworks begin! They can respect one another, and what both parties need to keep in mind is that 8s are direct and tell you what they think and feel. As I already noted, the 1 Life Path is not comfortable beingcriticized, because they take it to heart. If you are an 8 Life Path with a 1 Life Path, you have to learn to choose your words carefully. Otherwise you will have trouble with this relationship. It is not uncommon for the 1 and 8 to get together and at first, the relationship is exciting, sexy, and passionate. Then suddenly it turns ugly and volatile. You have to decide if this relationship is worth it. And if it is, always think twice before you open your mouth to say something you might regret.

1–9: This can be an exciting relationship because, in Numerology, 1 is the beginning number and 9 is the completion number. This means that all the energy contained in the numbers between 1 and 9 can be experienced in the relationship, which can truly be fascinating. The thing for the 1 to avoid is thinking the 9 is being superior. The 1 can get defensive and angry and the 9 will have trouble tolerating it. A problem for the 9 is learning to let go of the past, while the 1 is very much in the moment, and is aggravated by the rehashing of old issues. If this couple can learn to live in the present and fully embrace what they have, they will thank the heavens every day, simply because they have found each other. 1 and 9: The 9 brings a selflessness to the relationship which allows the 1 to operate in an environment that is understanding and smooth flowing. The 1 will have to learn to share the partner who is inclined to extend a giving nature outside the home. If there is trouble in this partnership it will generally come from the 9s difficulty tolerating the 1's assertive and individualistic behavior.

The 1 Life Path with the 9 Life Path This relationship can be exciting, because the 1 Vibration is considered the beginning of the Numerology Numbers, and the 9 is the Number of completion.

That means all the numbers are encompassed in this relationship: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Let’s look at this:1 is ambition;

2 is love;

3 is communication;

4 is learning together;

5 is exploring life together;

6 is family, making a commitment and sharing your lives and home

together;

7 is working on your faith together, finding something you can believe in;

8 is money matters, what can we do to make money and be successful as a couple;

9 is the caring Vibration, doing good works together.

So if you are 1 Life Path joined with a 9 Life Path or vice-versa, just look at the opportunities in thisrelationship! What you have to watch out for is whether the 9 has let go of the past. Have they been able to resolve whatever issues they have from their childhood? As for the 1, since the 9 is the old soul Number, the 1 subconsciously might feel the 9 knows more than they do and feel the need to prove themselves to the 9. Don’t do that. Instead just enjoy all the possibilities in this relationship. It can be incredibly exciting and fulfilling for both of you.
