If you're looking for your forever person, numerology offers one way to assess how compatible you could be with someone else. Our numerology compatibility chart will show you who you are more likely to connect with over the long-term and who might present more of a challenge.
Numerology Compatibility Chart: Who Gets Along With Whom
To use the chart below, first calculate the life path number for you and the person you're interested in (don't worry—we'll show you how to do it below). Then, you'll be able to see which life path numbers you're naturally compatible with and who may be a bit more of a challenge for you.
| Number | Highly compatible | Compatible | Neutral | Challenging |
| 1 | 1, 5, 7 | 3, 9 | 8 | 2, 4, 6 |
| 2 | 2, 4, 8 | 3, 6 | 9 | 1, 5, 7 |
| 3 | 3, 6, 9 | 1, 2, 5 | * | 4, 7, 8 |
| 4 | 2, 4, 8 | 6, 7 | * | 1, 3, 5, 9 |
| 5 | 1, 5, 7 | 3, 9 | 8 | 2, 4, 6 |
| 6 | 3, 6, 9 | 2, 4, 8 | * | 1, 5, 7 |
| 7 | 1, 5, 7 | 4 | 9 | 2, 3, 6, 8 |
| 8 | 2, 4, 8 | 6 | 1, 5 | 3, 7, 9 |
| 9 | 3, 6, 9 | 1, 5 | 2, 7 | 4, 8 |
How to Calculate Life Path Number
To calculate the life path number for each person in a potential partnership, you'll need their dates of birth expressed as mm/dd/yyyy.
For example, if Person A has a date of birth of January 1, 2000, and Person B has a birth date of March 13, 2001, you'd calculate each as follows:
- Person A = 1 (Jan) + 1 (First) + 2 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 4
- Person B= 3 (March) + 1 + 3 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 10
Since person B ends up with a 2-digit number (10), you'll need to reduce further by adding the two digits together so:
1 + 0 = 1
Person A is a 4. Person B is a 1. When you look on the above chart, this is a challenging pairing.
The Characteristics of Each Number
Looking at the basic definitions and traits of each life path number can give you an idea of where you'll align and where you'll clash.

Examples of Numerology Compatibility
To clarify the compatibility chart a bit further, consider someone who is a life path 1 as an example. Ones are a natural fit with fellow ones, fives, and sevens. Why is this so?
- Ones are independent leaders, and because of this, they are naturally compatible with adventure-loving fives.
- They also enjoy the company of sevens because sevens tend to be a bit eccentric and are equally happy leading the crowd or doing their own thing alone.
- Numbers that present more of a challenge to the one are two, four, and six.
Numerology Compatibility Provides a Guideline
The bottom line with numerology compatibility is that no partnership is doomed or a guaranteed success. Instead, knowing the characteristics of each life path number helps you understand which partnerships may go smoothly and which may require a bit more work. So even if someone is in your "challenging" column, don't count them out. Just realize that you may need to work harder for the relationship to last. But if you truly love someone, it's almost always worth the effort.
