The three families
A common rule of thumb in modern numerology groups the numbers into three families that understand each other easily: 1, 5 and 7, the independent thinkers; 2, 4 and 8, the builders and managers; 3, 6 and 9, the creators and carers.

From a blacksmith's hammers to your Life Path: the story of number.
Different families
Numbers from different families are not a bad match; they are a match that needs translating, the way a 4's love of plans meets a 5's love of change.

Common questions
Which Life Path numbers are compatible?
A common rule of thumb in modern numerology groups the numbers into three families that understand each other easily: 1, 5 and 7, the independent thinkers; 2, 4 and 8, the builders and managers; 3, 6 and 9, the creators and carers.
Can incompatible Life Paths make a relationship work?
Yes. Different numbers need more translation, not less love; the Soul Urge and Expression numbers of both people often explain more than the Life Paths do.
