What does Life Path 2 mean?
Life Path 2 is The Peacemaker: reads the room before anyone speaks. It is what a birthday adds up to when its month, day and year are each reduced, then added. Its strongest traits in the machine's library: diplomatic, empathetic and loyal. About 4.6% of birthdays from 1950 to 2009 add up to 2.
The Math
Calculated facts only, worked out the same way the machine does it.
- How it is worked out: reduce the month, the day and the year to one digit each (keeping 11, 22 and 33 whole), add the three, then reduce the total the same way.
- Worked example, August 11, 1990: month 8 → 8; day 11 → 11; year 1+9+9+0 = 19 → 1. 8 + 11 + 1 = 20, which reduces to 2.
- How common: 4.6% of all birthdays from 1950 to 2009 (1,013 of 21,915 days) add up to 2.
- Number family (the machine's compatibility convention): 2, 4, 8, which are The Peacemaker, The Builder and The Powerhouse.
