With a 4 life path number you’re learning important skills around leadership, hard work, practicality, organization and creating order around you. Four is a builder number, meaning that it’s meant to build something in this life and learn how to handle the limitations and restrictions that come with that. 

This life path number can produce someone who’s very precise, detail-oriented, confident and resourceful. The energy of this number motivates you to achieve success so that you can commit to building something until it’s complete. Because of this, people with a four life path number can be great business owners, managers and entrepreneurs.

The downsides of this life path number is that it can create energies of stubbornness, getting too caught up in the details, perfectionism and even cynicism. The lesson for this number is to learn how to get in touch with its natural resourcefulness in order to find solutions to the various problems that come with building something and to not get stuck along the way.

Find Your Life Path Number

To find your life path number you need to add all of the numbers of your birth date together until you break it down to one single number. Unless your number is 11, 22 or 33 as these are master numbers. For example, let’s say that your birthday is 3/25/1975, you would add 3+2+5+1+9+7+5 = 32 and 3+2 = 5, so your life path number would be 5. 

If you get a master number such as 11,22 or 33 then your life path number will embody both the energy of the double digit number and the single digit number. So if your life path number is 11 then the life path number 2 will also apply to your life path. If you get life path number 22 then life path number 4 will also apply to you, so on and so forth.
