All of the numbers on your Numerology chart have the power to influence behavior and outward circumstances, but the destiny number is unique in that it describes a quality that self-help expert Dr. Wayne Dyer called a ‘future pull.’
This future pull is a developmental quality. If you were to examine an acorn from the perspective of fully grown oak tree, it would not seem possible that this enormous tree could have grown out of something so small.
That is how it is with human destiny.
The destiny number is also called the life path number because the pull of destiny appears to be like a road or path as you are traveling on it.
But it also has the character of development and growth.
Learning about your destiny number can help you plot a course through life that results in true happiness and deep fulfillment.

Calculating Your Destiny Number
Though some numerologists derive your life path number from your name, most arrive at your destiny number by adding the individual digits of your birth date – day, month and year.
For example, someone born on October 1, 1980 would proceed like this:
1+ 0 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 0 = 20
2 + 0 = 2
When you calculate your destiny number, it is important to always reduce multi-digit numbers to root numbers by adding them together, unless you arrive at a master number which is a special circumstance.

The Meaning of Destiny Number 2
While those with a destiny number of 1 are born leaders, independent and direct, people born with the destiny or life path number 2 are submissive, agreeable and cooperative.
If those with a 1 vibration are leaders, those living in alignment with a 2 vibration are followers.
Like the Yin and Yang energies of Taoism and the I Ching, these two essential vibrations are so fundamental they seem to constitute patterns in every aspect of life.
These energies are generally symbolized by the sun and moon; the sun being the active, masculine, solar Yang energy, while the moon would be associated with the passive, feminine, lunar Yin energy.
When you have a life path of 2 you are likely to shine, as the moon does, with a borrowed light.
Those with a life path of 2 are also gentle, kind and diplomatic. Being sensitive and intuitive, they usually avoid conflict and are generally cooperative in all relationships.
Because they are kind, cooperative and generally good looking, most people with a two vibration make excellent romantic partners, enjoying lengthy committed relationships.
