3 LIFE PATH: The Creative Communicator

The 3 Life Path is meant to perform and take center stage, however you personally define this.

You love creativity, communication, and connecting with people. The 3 energy is truly the energy of joie de vivre (the joy of life).  If you’re working the constructive aspects of the 3 energy, you’re connected with your emotions—and you have a lot of them. You communicate brilliantly and clearly. You consolidate information easily and know how to rework that information into new ideas. You embrace your brimming creative impulses with gusto.

You’re a natural writer, actor, counselor, or teacher.  Any profession where you can present your ideas to an audience is right up your alley. You aren’t a 9-to-5  job person; you don’t necessarily work well under the supervision of others or within a rigid structure.

Part of your life’s purpose is to develop impeccable communication on all levels.

Many 3’s spend years learning to gauge that they even have emotions and then they spend more years learning how to express them.

One of your biggest obstacles is your intense self-doubt. Feelings of insecurity can stop you in your tracks and literally stun you into submission. While everyone experiences self-doubt at certain times in their lives, this is a ruling factor of your life when you’re on the 3 Life Path.

Avoid getting stuck over-analyzing or over thinking every single thing. You’ll mud wrestle with “analysis paralysis” over and over again.

In relationships, you can be romantic and fiercely loyal. You have a tendency not to let go of past relationships. You mull them around in your head again and again, picking apart things said and done, what could’ve been and what wasn’t. You level blame on yourself and on others. You tend to obsess over the smallest emotional hooks that bog you in a pool of cynicism or emotional defeat.

The 3 Life Path can struggle with depression, experiencing extreme highs and lows. If you’re not using your talents, you’ll experience mood swings. When you realize that your journey is an emotional one, you can learn how to manage the ups and downs more effectively. You must be careful about with whom you spend your time because you will attract “takers” if you aren’t careful.

Overall, you can be the life of the party: clever, witty, the clown, entertaining, and good company. You make a great host or hostess and people feel nurtured and comfortable around you. You make it all look so easy.

In fact, one of the pressures of the 3 Life Path is that you’re so good at everything you do you have a difficult time choosing what to focus on.  So many ideas, so little time.

It’s not surprising to find many 3 Life Paths in entertainment, politics, or any other industry that requires expert communication skills, intellect, and a good sense of humor.

Common threads when a 3 Life Path is working with optimal energies are being dynamic, self-assured, joyful, emotionally balanced, expressive, and inspiring.

Calculate your Life Path number:

EXAMPLE:

JULY 23, 1989

  • JULY is the 7th month:  = 7
  • The day of birth is 23:  2 + 3 = 5
  • The year of birth is 1989. Add all four numbers together: 1 + 9 + 8 + 9 = 27; continue adding until you get a one-digit number:
    2 + 7 = 9

We now add the resulting single digits.

Month = 7      Day = 5      Year = 9

7 + 5 + 9 = 21

In Numerology, you always keep adding until you reach a one-digit number.

2 + 1 = 3
