How to Read This Chart

Find your life path in the rows, your partner's in the columns, and click the cell.

• M (mirror): same life path. Instant understanding, shared blind spots.

• F (family affinity): same number family (1-5-7, 2-4-8, 3-6-9). Natural affinity, with a risk of reinforcing the same habits.

• C (complementarity): qualities that fit together.

• T (creative tension): needs that pull in different directions. Demanding, often stimulating.

Why a Dynamic Rather Than a Score?

Compatibility charts found online contradict each other from one site to the next, because they rest on no data. Rather than assigning scores, we describe the nature of the relationship between two numbers: what brings you together, what can cause friction, and each person's rhythm. The full reasoning is in life path compatibility: an honest reading.

What About Master Numbers?

If your life path is 11, 22 or 33, use its base (2, 4 or 6) in the chart. Tradition adds extra intensity, described in our master numbers guide.

Before You Draw Conclusions

• The life path is just one number among others: the soul urge and expression number matter just as much in a couple's reading.

• No study shows that numerological compatibility predicts how long a relationship lasts.
