The Secret Your Birth Date Reveals

I have to admit that I didn’t think I’d believe this when I started adding up my numbers to find my master number, but the crazy thing is that my master number is 7 and couldn’t describe me better.

So here’s the deal- if you want to be the happiest you can be at work, you need to have a passion for what you do. Common knowledge, right?

Well, Career Builder says that the numerology of birth dates can perfectly describe your personality and personal attributes, which can actually help you figure out what jobs would be best for you.

If you’re not sure what numerology is, it’s the language of numbers and their corresponding symbolic significance. The first thing you need to do is figure out your master number from one to nine, which is calculated based on your birth date. Each master number is assigned certain characteristics with specific strengths and weaknesses.

Here’s how to compute your master number: Write your birth date in numbers. For example, if your birth date is 2/14/1980, you’d add the numbers in the year together: 1+9+8+0. That comes out to 18. Then, add the month and day of birth to the year number: 2+14+18, which comes out to 34. Then add the end result together to come up with a one digit number. So 3+4=7.

Once you’ve figured out what your master number is (it should be 1-9, if you came up with a number higher than 9, you did something wrong), take a look at what that number means for your career:
