When we seek to find our soulmate, we yearn to connect with someone who fulfills us in every way. A healthy relationship is one that is created with the foundation of openness, acceptance, and honesty. If we treat relationships as transactional only, we will lose sight of the magic that they bring into our lives and the love that is offered.
Using Numerology to help guide us on the insights we need on how to approach a potential relationship. By looking at your date of birth, you can learn how a person thinks and behaves as it describes personalities. Awareness of ourselves and others helps us better understand and communicate with those around us.
Your life path number is key to understanding various other numbers related to your date of birth. One of these is your lucky number. Another is your love number which we will discuss further.
What is Your Love Number?
Essentially, your love number directly correlates to your life path number. You can calculate either number by adding up all the numbers in your birthdate until you reach a single digit.
For example, if we were to calculate the love number of Pete Davidson, we would add up his birthdate of November 16, 1993, until we got to a single number.
1+1+1+6+1+9+9+3 = 31 … 3+1=4
Love numbers help guide us on to how we shape, pursue, and value our relationships. With a love number of 4, Davidson is focused on building a foundation with his partner. Relationships are highly valued by him, and he takes them seriously, so he will not commit to someone lightly.
Numbers 1, 5, and 7 are, not surprisingly, the analytically minded numbers. These are the people who look at every angle and like to review before fully committing. Often, they will find their mind getting in the way of their heart and making decisions for the heart based on logic rather than how they feel.
Numbers 2, 4, and 8 tend to be leaning towards business and career focus rather than relationships. Even though they may be dedicated to the relationship and making it work, they may set their sights on other ambitions and aspirations.
Numbers 3, 6, and 9 tend to yearn for art, creative ventures, and humanitarian endeavors. In relationships, these people give all of who they are to make them happen even if they fall apart the next day. They live life to the fullest and will often be more forgiving of others.
