Five is a dynamic number which loves to change things up, try something new and approach life from a free-spirited perspective. The energy of this number is high vibrational and it needs a lot of stimulation due to its naturally curious nature. Because of this, people with a five life path number can be drawn to things like traveling, challenging themselves, socializing, learning and high energy sports or exhilarating experiences.
The downsides of this life path number is that it can create energies of impulsiveness, self-indulgence and challenges around being able to commit to something for a long period of time. The lesson for this number is to learn how to embrace your free-spirited nature in a responsible way so that it doesn’t lead to things like over-indulgence, flakiness and addiction or escapism.
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.
