Have you ever looked at the life path numerology of family members? If you want to study the dynamics of your family or any group, you can gain fascinating insight based on everyone’s life path number. It is also fun to look at their house, apartment, or building numbers. From there, you can go into more depth by studying their birth chart and other numerology, for instance, their name, soul urge, personality, birth date number, etc. For this article, I will focus on the life path number, house number, and the interesting patterns I’ve seen in two families I’ve worked with.
The first family consists of a mom and dad in their thirties and a toddler girl. Both parents work hard in their careers. Tidiness isn’t a priority, but fun, learning, flexibility, and playtime with their daughter are. Their daughter’s curiosity and interaction with her peers are a priority for mom and dad to cultivate. The family loves to travel, get up and go and responds to spontaneity readily. When I began calculating their live path numbers, it was no surprise that they all have a 5 life path. Not only that, but their house number address is 5.
What does this mean? In short, it means that every family member has a soulmate connection to each other, as they each have a similar path in attaining their goals. Their home is in alignment with the vision and energy of the family. 5’s are fun seekers, curious, quick-witted, multi-faceted, spontaneous, and love freedom. The 5 life paths can accomplish so much when they apply discipline as the changeability of 5s can lead to chaos and inefficiency. The parents dream of traveling more and possibly living someplace abroad. They can accomplish that and teach their daughter at the same time while living in their home that through focused efforts toward their goal, they will arrive there when the time is right. That may happen in a 5 year when change is prominent energy, or their old life will conclude in a 9 year, and they start anew in a 1 year. Not knowing all of their chart information, it’s not easy to predict, but it is possible that with clear intentions and hard work, it will happen at the perfect time. Another theme this family may work through is the 5 life path’s tendency to depend on each other or a job too heavily or falter in the other direction and become highly independent, disregarding the other’s needs. I don’t see that necessarily with this family, but when the wheel of life spins downward, these are subconscious habits to watch out for. One beautiful aspect about each person’s relationship with the other and their home is that when you add 5 + 5, you get 10, which reduces to 1. That means that each connection comes together with the energy of creativity and confidence, pioneering the new, and has an air of childlike wonder and excitement; they each experience that creativity in the house as well.
The following family also consists of a mom and dad in their thirties with a toddler son. The theme of this family’s numerology comes from the number 6. Both the father and son have a life path 6. The mom has a life path 9 but comes to that from reducing 36 to 9. She is also a Virgo, the 6th sign of the zodiac. 6 is their house number, reduced from 213. There is a secondary theme with their birthdays. All of them are born on a 4 day. The son was born on the 22nd, Mom on the 31st, and Dad on the 13th. The father and son are also Cancers, the 4th sign in the zodiac.
6’s have to do with perfection and high ideals. They often hold themselves to unrealistic standards. Unfortunately, in our Western society, perfectionistic images and beliefs are thrown into our psyches at every turn in the media, online, at work, from the government, teachers, parents, priests, doctors, etc. To have perfectionistic energy is not for the weak. It often comes to the strong who have a lot of inner work to do to accept who they are and breathe easily that they are enough. With the mom being a number 9 life path, she is seen as the ultimate judge in the household. 9s sense that they’ve lived many lives before, as they are the final number in the 1-9 life path sequence. They often take on tremendous responsibility and are wise leaders who can also feel burdened for making the necessary calls. As she works on her perfectionistic energy of the 6 and the communication energy of the 3, she will feel more confident and at ease making those decisions and lighting the path for others. The dad also has 3 energy as he comes to his life path number by reducing from 33. If anyone has struggled with perfectionism, they often experience fear or shyness in speaking their truth from the heart and asking for what they need. Even people with a 3 life path, because of the trinity and multiplicity towards 6, also deal with perfectionism. Communicating their feelings takes a lot of courage as they have a deep sense that being worthy of meeting their needs requires them to be perfect in every way. What often happens instead is a lot of hypercritical communication to the self and others. As I mentioned, overcoming these hurdles in this overly airbrushed and boastful society comes to those born to handle it.
Luckily for this family, they are all born on a 4 day, and with the dad and son being Cancers, born under the 4th sign, this represents that family, structure, stability, and patience are also themes in this family unit. Think of a house or table. The 4 corners or legs provide stability and bring people together. Through any trials they may face to accept that they are perfect the way they are, and always improving, they have the strength of the family unit to keep them working hard together. They easily understand each other and as they learn to love and accept themselves, they will grow to love and accept each other even more.
In contrast to the 5s, who don’t have as much collective consciousness beliefs from the world about who they are and what they deserve, this family has a lot of societal programming and conditioning to ignore and reprogram to feel as perfect as they are. 6 life paths are not the only ones who deal with perfectionistic energy. Most people have at one time or another. Some people have it as a theme more deeply than others. Some 6s raised in a more accepting family where the pressure to achieve and be perfect wasn’t in demand may not experience the pain of perfectionism so harshly. They could learn well from the 5s to throw caution to the wind, be spontaneous and messy for a while, and enjoy being silly without caring what other people think about them. I have found that living like that breeds more admiration from others, as tapping into the inner child for pure fun and freedom is rebellious in this day and age.
