About Your Relationship Profile
This report analyzes the personalities of both individuals to assess their compatibility. It also offers suggestions for ways to mitigate the stress or damage that can come from differing personalities and perspectives.
When you are in a relationship, you come to know each other more deeply over time. At first friction is rare. As time goes by and you discover additional sides to your partner, you become aware of personality traits you appreciate as well as some that rub you the wrong way. Even if you consider your relationship nearly perfect, you will experience occasional bouts of conflict.
Negative traits are almost always a cause of friction, but it is interesting to note that some qualities that are considered positive can also be incompatible. You may find this report is more critical or even harsh compared to other readings of this type. My approach is designed to throw light on differences in your chart that might benefit from a frank, unbiased examination. Ignoring potential issues can cause more damage overall than a few honest remarks in a reading.
You will probably encounter some texts that state: "The compatibility aspect in this area of the chart is already included in other parts of this report." Those texts are not repeated here because they are either redundant or offset by other conditions. This is done to offer a perspective that is as well balanced and clear as possible; repeating certain traits would place too much emphasis on them.
John and Jane, I hope you will appreciate the perspective of your Compatibility Report and will find it beneficial to your relationship.
Please note we use gender-neutral language when addressing individuals in our relationship readings. To some, using the singular "they," "them," and "their" may sound awkward, but we believe words matter. We aspire to include everyone.
Please verify that the name and date of birth showing below are accurate.
Your Life Path number is considered the single most significant information available in your Personality Chart. It is derived from the total of all numbers found in your date of birth. However, it is important to keep in mind that the aspects described in the next few chapters will either complement, supplement, or sometimes weaken the attributes revealed in numbers derived from your name.
John, your Life Path number is 8
You are gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great wealth. You have great talent for management in all areas of life, especially in business and financial matters. You understand the material world; you intuitively know what makes virtually any enterprise work. Your talent lies not with the bookkeeping or petty management, but with the greater vision, its purpose, and long-range goals. You are a visionary and a bit reckless.
You possess the ability to inspire people to join you in your quest, but often they are incapable of seeing what you see. Therefore, those around you need your continual guidance, inspiration, and encouragement. You must prod them into action and direct them along the lines of your vision.
You attract financial success more than any other Life Path, but effort is required. Your challenge in life is to achieve a high degree of detachment, to understand that power and influence must be used for the benefit of mankind. Those born with the Number 8 Life Path, who do not understand the real and relative value of money are bound to suffer the consequences of greed; they run the risk of losing it all!
You must learn to bounce back from failures and defeats. You have the character and resilience of a true survivor. It is not uncommon for a person with your Life Path to experience major reverses, including bankruptcies, financial failure, but you also have the talent and the sheer guts to make more than one fortune, and build many successful enterprises. More than most people, your failures in marriage can be extremely expensive for you.
Despite the difficulties that life presents, you will experience the satisfaction that comes from material wealth and the power that comes with it. Business, finance, real estate, law, science (particularly history, archeology, and physics), publishing, and the management of large institutions are among the vocational fields that suit you best. You are naturally attracted to positions of influence and leadership -- Politics, social work, and teaching are among the many other areas where your abilities can shine. You are a good judge of character, which aids you well in attracting the right people to you.
Most 8s like large families and sometimes tend to keep others dependent longer than necessary. Although jovial in nature you are not demonstrative in showing your love and affection.
The desire for luxury and comfort is especially strong in you. Status is very important. You must be careful to avoid living above your means.
Your Life Path treads that dangerous ground where power lies -- and can corrupt. You may become too self-important, arrogant, and domineering, thinking that your way is the only way. This leads inevitably to isolation and conflict. The people you run the risk of hurting most are those you love, your family and friends.
Be careful of becoming stubborn, intolerant, overbearing, and impatient. These characteristics may be born early in the life of an 8 Life Path, who often learn these negative traits after suffering under a tyrannical parent or a family burdened by repressive religious or intellectual dogmas.
Those with the 8 Life Path usually possess a strong physique, which is a symptom of their inherent strength and resiliency.
Jane, your Life Path number is 1
Jane, you are a born leader. You insist on your right to make up your own mind; you demand freedom of thought and action. You are driven and determent. You don't let anything, or anyone stand in your way once you are committed to your goal. You assume the responsibility to be the protector and provider for those you love. You demand respect and attention and become irritated and even domineering when important things do not go your way. You need to feel in command of important undertakings and resist supportive roles. You seek the forefront and the limelight. You are concerned with your status and foster the appearance of success and self-satisfaction. The need to appear well off propels you to strive for growth, success and the finer things of life.
You are exceptionally creative and original and possess a touch of the unusual. Your approach to problems is unique and you have the courage to wander from the beaten path. You can be impatient with your shortcomings and those of others.
You should watch out for selfishness, conceit and the over-concern with appearance. You must guard against overzealous behavior, anger and aggressiveness. If these qualities are not brought under control you could become excessively domineering, vindictive and even violent. You perform best when you are left to your own devices. Ideally you should own your own business and be your own boss. Hold fast to your life's dream and work with the determination you possess to realize it.
You can become overly stressed by your driven nature. Be careful about the food you eat and maintain an exercise program you enjoy. Competition sports are often a healthy outlet for a person with your drive, particularly sports involving running and swimming. Don't let pride and overconfidence be your masters. Remember, your talents and abilities are a gift from a higher source, which should promote gratitude and humility, rather than pride and conceit.
More often than not a person with a 1 Life Path will achieve much in life as long as the drive, creativity, originality and pioneering spirit are fully employed!
Your Life Path number is the most important influence in your chart. As such, their compatibility is very important to the well being of your relationship.
John and Jane, your Life Path Compatibility is 8 and 1
Your respective numbers make you both strong-willed and somewhat stubborn people. It could often feel like there are two captains on your ship, whose conflicting viewpoints can lead to discomfort at best or explosive arguments at worst. A willingness to compromise is extremely important for your relationship.
You both have good business instincts, which could result in successful shared endeavors (although John most likely has the greatest talent for managing financial affairs). Should you decide to work together, make sure to keep your responsibilities separated to avoid potential conflict. Whether in business or your personal life, you will need to have faith in each other's abilities and respect your independence. With both of you preferring to do things your own way, this may not be an easy task. Neither of you easily allow the other to dominate, nor do you feel comfortable as the other's subordinate. Keep in mind John has a need to see material results and reward, while Jane is more interested in the satisfaction that comes from a job well done.
The fact that you are both quite sensitive behind your strong, self-reliant facade makes you vulnerable to being hurt by insensitive comments and arguments. Your keywords for a successful relationship are communication and compromise.
Although you probably take different approaches at times, you also have much in common; the 1 and the 8 are considered very compatible numbers. One positive aspect is your love of shared experiences. If you can be sensitive to the needs of your partner and communicate openly, you should be able to enjoy a rewarding relationship sharing the many interests you have in common.
