Ever wander why two people with the same Life Path number, or Astrology sign can be so different? In Numerology, part of the explanation is that your Life Path is made up of different combinations of numbers in your date of Birth. And the greatest difference occurs when you have numbers which are missing; indicating things you need to work on in your life.

Everyone has some missing numbers in their Birth chart; with a Gregorian birth date of eight digits, you’ll always have at least one number missing. Missing numbers don’t point to some fatal flaw; rather they show us areas we need to improve in. These are the aspects that give flavor to your personality; that color your life.

Determining your Missing Numbers

Your missing birth chart numbers are those digits, (1) through (9) which are not used in your full Gregorian date of birth. For example Johnny Depp was born on June 9th, 1963, so charting his birth date, we get:

06/09/1963 = (1)(-)(3)(-)(-)(66)(-)(-)(99) (missing digits: 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8)

So, Johnny Depp has (5) different missing numbers on his birth chart.

(Missing 1)

You need to work on your confidence and drive. Learn to take the lead in your relationships and not be shoved into the background by others. Work on your self-image.

(Missing 2)

You need to become more sensitive to the needs of others. Learn to trust your intuition about other people. You need to be more open to cooperation with those around you.

(Missing 3)

You may have a need for more imagination or you may find creative expression difficult in some manner. Math can be a problem area for you.

(Missing 4)

You need to be more practical in your day-to-day life. You dislike working on tasks which are boring or do not challenge you. Carelessness over details can cause problems for you. Many tasks that you attempt will be abandoned before they are completed.

(Missing 5)

You have problems in motivating yourself and need to be pushed by outside forces to be productive. You tend to be uncertain about which path to take in life. You recognize many opportunities in your life but don’t know how to use them. A life partner or friend who pushes you to take action can be a blessing to you.

(Missing 6)

Your home life, though important, is not the central focus of your life. An appreciation of beauty or art may need to be developed. You may have had conflict with one of your parents as a child. Some element may be missing from your home life.

(Missing 7)

You may be hesitant to rely on yourself for strength. You fear loneliness and crave the support of others. You may have problems keeping yourself physically fit. You distrust anything which must be taken on faith; you need to see things with your own eyes before you’ll believe them.

(Missing 8)

You need to work on your organizational skills. You tend to avoid the details in a job. You may have a lazy streak. Carelessness about money may be a problem area. Lack of attention to the mundane chores of life could be your downfall.

(Missing 9)

You need to develop a broader view of life; a long-term goal. Seek the help of others in this area; their world view may be clearer than yours.
