2 LIFE PATH:   The Intuitive Diplomat

The 2 Life Path is a lover, not a fighter.

You’re a seeker of harmony and deeply loathe conflict. You’re happiest when you’re being of service to yourself, your family, your group, or when you’re excelling in a service-oriented career. Working in a group environment is often the best for you to achieve success.

You’re the detail person, the one everyone turns to in order to get the job done and get it done right.

You thrive in an environment of support and solid direction, so you may not enjoy working for yourself or might not find ultimate success or happiness as an independent contractor.

The energy of the 2 Life Path is very sensitive, so much so that you get your feelings hurt every day in ways no one but you can understand. Even you don’t understand the degree to which you’re emotionally wounded day in and day out.

One of your lifelong learning lessons is in setting strong emotional boundaries and not being a “shape shifter” who changes who you are in order to please others or keep the peace.

The 2 energy is all about love. You crave giving and receiving unconditional love. That desire combined with a strong sense of service and emotional sensitivity brings amazing things into your life, as well as consistent challenges. The trick is not to focus on needing
love to the point of desperation.

Since you’re so sensitive and also want to give and get love all the time, you may have a tendency to smother your loved ones or have expectations that can never be met. On the flip-side, you may back away from wanting love because it hurts too badly. When you can come to an understanding about how to balance your intense need for love, you’ll feel secure and supported. The trick for you is to give yourself the acknowledgement you need, rather than seeking it from outside sources.

The 2 Life Path tends to gravitate toward relationships and family life.

You often serve as a supportive, dependable, caring helpmate when you’re working with your most positive aspects. Your trademark is a tendency to do everything for everybody to the point where you feel drained.

Even though you’re here to serve and love, from the outside people may observe that you give yourself a little too much credit. You aren’t meant to receive intense validation from external sources.

Why not?

Because learning to give yourself your own kudos is part of the challenge of the 2 Life Path. Oftentimes you judge yourself on what everyone else says or thinks about you. Your challenge is to develop your internal compass and turn inward for validation.

You must be careful not to take on the problems of the people you love, who are more than happy for you to do so! It’s best not to place yourself completely at the disposal of others because soon you’ll get angry and resentful for being used and unappreciated.

When you end up living in the destructive aspects of the 2 energy, no one knows what you want, including you!

You’re too preoccupied doing what you think you’re supposed to do and are quick to expect others should do the same. You’re in a chronic state of co-dependence. Your giving turns to resentment, as you give too much, and then you withdraw completely.

Common threads when a 2 Life Path is working with optimal energies are harmonizing, fair-mindedness, service orientation, loving, diplomacy, patience.

Your Life Path Explained

How to calculate your Life Path Number

If you’re only going to know one number in your entire Numerology Chart, I’d recommend that you know your Life Path Number.

This number is derived from your birth date and indicates your ultimate life’s purpose.  Knowing your Life Path Number gives you solid direction about what you’re meant to be doing in your life.

Yet also understand that what we came here to do will always be the most difficult thing for us to do.  That’s why it takes a lifetime!  Why would you sign up for a degree program where you’d already earned a Doctorate?  You’re here to learn something new and your course requirements are revealed to you through your Life Path number.

Always know that the key themes of your Life Path number indicate exactly where you’ll experience challenges and difficulties throughout your life as you go about learning to acknowledge and master your life’s purpose.

First you need to know your Life Path Number.  See how to calculate yours with the example below.

Calculate your Life Path number:

EXAMPLE:

OCTOBER 1, 1935

  • OCTOBER is the 10th month:  1 + 0 = 1
  • The day of birth is 1:  = 1
  • The year of birth is 1935. Add all four numbers together: 1 + 9 + 3 + 5 = 18; continue adding until you get a one-digit number:
    1 + 8 = 9

We now add the resulting single digits.

Month = 1      Day = 1      Year = 9

1 + 1 + 9 = 11  (11 is a Master Number)

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

1 + 1 = 2

The Life Path Number is 2  (and, as I observed in this post, this birth date is of a famous person who is an 11/2 – 2’s don’t often seek the spotlight, yet 11/2’s certainly do!)
