Does Your Love Life Add Up?

by Max Coppa

What kind of a love mate are you in a relationship?

Numbers can give you insight into your potential as well as your strengths and weaknesses, and can put you on the right path to love and happiness. We apply math and numbers to explain most things in our lives, including money, weight and speed, so why not use numbers to work out temperaments and personalities of people? Know thyself and the journey of love will be so much easier.

Numerology works mainly with the numbers 1 to 9, including the master numbers 11, 22, 33, 44, which are the only numbers not broken down to one digit.

Adding together all of the digits in your date of birth and then breaking it down to a single digit reveals much about you. This single number is called your life lesson number, which shows how you will play out the highs and lows in your life.

Find your number by adding your date of birth. For example, add the birthday of 11-3-1975:
1 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 5 = 27 = 2 + 7 = 9.
