Numerology Compatibility

In Numerology, the most important number to look at in relationships, especially romantic relationships, is your Life Path number. However, taking into account the vast collection of numbers in each individual's Numerology chart, this is by no means the only number to consider, so the compatibility descriptions that follow should not be taken as the final word.

First, you'll need to determine your Life Path number.

1 Life Path number

If you have a 1 Life Path, your most compatible partners are 3 and 5, as both those numbers have the kind of disposition that helps them put up with a bossy and opinionated 1. The happy-go-lucky 3 in particular gets along with the more serious and self-conscious 1 simply by ignoring -- or making light of -- your need to be in charge, while the flexible and adventurous 5 adds a dynamic energy that benefits both of you to the relationship. The very loving and caring 6 also gets along quite well with a 1, but then, the harmonious 6 gets along with just about every number.

If you happen to connect with another 1, you may have a passionate, short-lived relationship, but the problem of two captains on one ship will quickly put a strain on that. Similarly, the authoritative, entrepreneurial 8 should be avoided, as the 1 and 8 don't seem to be able to have a relationship that is not in a constant state of competition. The gentle, sensitive, and diplomatic 2 can be a great complement to the 1, but they generally get along better in a work or business relationship, not a romantic relationship. The spiritual, contemplative, and introspective 7 can be a good friend and enlightening tutor to the 1, elevating it to a higher realm of insight and perception, but as a romantic partner the combination usually doesn't work very well.

2 Life Path number

If you have a 2 Life Path, your most harmonious relationships will come with the visionary 8 or the humanitarian, aristocratic 9. The business-minded 8 is especially a good match, as the subtle 2 fits the decisive, industrious 8 both in a romantic or business relationship. The classy, composed, but somewhat aloof 9 is also a good match, as is the protective, loving and forgiving 6.

The down-to-earth, dependable 4 can seem to be a good fit for a 2 initially, but will, after some time, bore you to death, as will the serious, introverted 7. The 1 and 2 combination sometimes works well, but only if the different roles are properly understood; you accept the fact that the 1 has the last word, but you get to decide what that word will be (i.e. you get to manipulate, something you were born to do anyway). Hooking up with a dynamic 5 Life Path can be a wonderful, passionate, adventurous relationship lacking anything remotely boring. However, a warning is in place: the often irresponsible and indulgent 5 can wreak havoc on a vulnerable and feminine 2. The sunny, optimistic 3 can be a good connection, but as with the 5, there is little discipline and focus with a 3 and, as a result, the 2 has to make up for that deficiency by carrying more than his or her share of the weight.

3 Life Path number

If you have a 3 Life Path, your favorite relationships in the past have probably been 5s and 7s. The adaptable, daring and adventurous 5 suits your need for unpredictability and chaos, while the quiet, introverted and often mystical 7 adds depth and appreciation to your life experience. In fact, of all the number combinations that tend to not only get along well, but actually complement and elevate each other to the point that the whole is bigger than the sum of its parts, the 3 and 7 is probably it.

The solid, practical, trustworthy 4, on the other hand, should be avoided, even though its qualities would serve the relationship well (after all, a bit of grounding would not harm you) -- when the 3 and 4 are together they just seem to draw the worst out of each other. While you might initially be attracted to the authoritative and physically impressive 8, he or she may well drive you up the wall with unrelenting criticism. On the other hand, the equally critical and domineering 1, for some reason gets away with it, and the two of you get along very well. The always forgiving and intuitive 2 can be an excellent fit too, and usually results in a lasting, harmonious relationship. The 6, normally the most harmonious of all numbers, does not thrive well in the company of a 3, and vice versa. This is mostly due to the flaky and undisciplined nature of the 3. This lack of focus and discipline is also the reason you should avoid a relationship with another 3.
