Core Birth Date Numbers Affect You

A person's birth date can have many numerology calculations done with it. The numerology tools and calculators page lists quite a few. Further, each part of the date has a number associated with it.

But most important of all the calculations are the calculations for the core numbers. There are two core numbers that are calculated from the birth date.

The two core birth date numbers are the life path and the birth day numbers.

• The life path number is calculated using the entire birth date (see separate article). The energy represented by the life path number influences the general types of events and circumstances likely to occur as a person lives life.

• The birth day number is calculated using the day of birth, the day number in the year month day sequence (see separate article). The energy represented by the birth day number influences the approach a person takes when pursuing goals and opportunities.

Each of those numbers represents the energy of an aspect of the birth date.

The energy represented by a person's birth date tends to have an effect on life experiences — life events and circumstances and reactions to them. Also, the approach to life represented by the person's birth day energy may be interrupted by events and circumstances.

When the energy of the two core birth date numbers are blended, each of the energies affect the whole. It is the whole resulting from the blending of the two core number energies that represents the person's birth date.

The person's birth date energy provides subtle attractions. Self will is always predominant, of course, but even self will does not prevent attraction of events and circumstances that resonate with the numerology energy represented by the birth date.

As an example of free will, a person dealing with unexpected circumstances may approach the situation different than their numerology chart would indicate.

To finalize the idea, even when a person is distracted or being true to their own self will, the subtle life path energy will still be attracting corresponding types of events and circumstances.

How Core Birth Date Numbers Affect Each Other

Both of the two core birth date numbers are important in their own way.

The energy represented by the life path number attracts certain types of events and circumstances. The energy of the birth day number tends to affect how a person approaches life.

In general, the influence of the energy represented by the life path number has steady influence on a person than the energy represented by the core birth day number. That's because the general types of events and circumstances attracted to the person by the life path energy is not changeable by free will. But free will can change the person's attitude and approach to life.

An example —

As an example, let's assume the life path number is the number 5 (inclination to express a sense of freedom). And the birth date number is the number 8 (business and control).

The numerology number 5 energy, intermittently or consistently, attracts events and circumstances related to doing new things or doing things differently.

The numerology number 8 energy is a subtle urge to approach life with a business or control focus.

The life path energy can't be overridden by free will. It will attract what it will attract. But the birth date energy can be affected by free will.

Because the 5 energy and the 8 energy are incompatible in this case (one introducing new stuff and the other trying to establish control of life), there can be some inner conflict.

When that person changes their mind and, adopting free will, decides to approach life with whim and curiosity, rather than with a business or control focus, then life seems to be less tense.

To reiterate the concept of the two core birth date numbers: The energy represented by the life path number influences the general types of events and circumstances likely to occur as a person lives life. And the energy represented by the birth day number influences the approach a person takes when pursuing goals and opportunities.
