Discover your life number and get to know yourself better

How do you calculate your life number? Add the digits of your date of birth. If you were born on the 4th of a month, your number is 4. If your birthday is on the 16th, add 1 + 6 = 7, your number is then 7. There are only two exceptions - if your birthday falls on the 11th or 22nd (then it is also the numbers 11 or 22).

Your life number can say a lot about your personality.

Number 1

Characteristics: courageous, independent, spontaneous.

At work: With your energy and original ideas, you are a human hurricane. People with your number work their way up and occupy leading positions. You are also one of those people with ideas and courage who make their own mark. Keep up the good work!

With friends: You can't stand brooding, self-pitying people, your manner comes across as terse and arrogant. It's impossible to cry on your shoulder, but your friends know that they can rely on you 100 percent. Especially when they need a kick when feeling sorry for themselves.

In love: It seems that you are empathetic after all - especially when it comes to your partner's feelings. You need someone who can more or less read your mind. Since you are too proud to ask for a hug, he has to guess the right moment. Number 5 has the most sex appeal and promises exciting times. A calmer relationship can be expected with number 7. Avoid the 3 - you are both extroverted and will end up vying for attention.

Yourcolors: Red, copper and apricot

Your scents: Rose, cedar.


Number 2

Characteristics: cooperative, empathetic, thoughtful.

At work: Your teamwork skills and unselfish nature make you a pleasure to work with. You work best with a colleague who can implement your ideas.

With friends: You are the first person friends call when it comes to settling a dispute. You are instinctively trusted and your tact makes you a born peacemaker. You are shy with strangers, but your friends know that you can come out of your shell.

In love: You are as vulnerable as a small flower and long for love. Protect yourself from being the doormat of reckless people (see numbers 1 and 3). Try dating a 4 - you're both generous, creative and tidy - or a 22 who makes you happy, even if you take the passive part in the relationship. Forget number 5, childish enthusiasm will have you gritting your teeth and tearing your hair out.

Your colors: Gold and purple.

Your scents: Rose, geranium.


Number 3

Characteristics: absent-minded, dreamy.

At work: No one doubts your fabulous ideas or the enthusiasm with which you approach things. However, you have difficulty recognizing problems. Reading small print is not your thing and your attention to detail is poor.

With friends: A party without you is no fun because you can't be ignored. You are happiest when you have lots of people around you. But even as everyone's party girl, you are only close to a few people.

In love: Your cheerful disposition and incessant optimism are best suited to a like-minded 3. You have a lot of fun (but no future) with the 11. Keep your distance from the 4, you would only get bored.

Yourcolors: Rose, ruby red

Your scents: Jasmine, rose.


Number 4

Characteristics: serious, rational, reliable.

At work: You will be employee of the month. You make up for your lack of imagination with hard work and analytical thinking. You are called a workaholic, but this is unfair - your ability to concentrate allows you to put ideas into practice.

With friends: Granted, you're not the life and soul of every party, but you're a loyal friend with a sense of humor. Since you always express your views freely, your friends can always count on an honest opinion.

In love: Your friend may feel safe with you, but you expect the same treatment. Your ideal partner would be the calm and good-natured 2. The 11 provides vigor, but the 3 is not advisable as it disrupts your life.

Your colors: Green and indigo.

Its scents: Citrus, orange and ginger.


Number 5

Characteristics: exciting, unpredictable, adventurous.

At work: You have a sharp mind and a quick tongue. This enables you to wriggle out of tricky situations. Don't risk your career by avoiding routine.

With friends: Because of your restlessness, people think they are incapable of long-term friendship. However, if a friend needs help, you have a seventh sense and a keen sense of their plight.

In love: It will take a very special man to tame you. Number 8 can fulfill your sexual desires, while 1 stimulates your mind (and also your body...). He's also a good friend in your fast-paced life. Get out of the way of the 2. It doesn't have enough energy for you and would only get on your nerves.

Her colors: cherry red, raspberry and lavender.

Her perfume: lavender, sandalwood and peppermint.


Number 6

Characteristics: friendly, emotional, romantic.

At work: Despite your sensitive soul, you love physical work. You also enjoy expressing your creativity. A career as an interior designer or gardener would be ideal. You are a born boss and occasionally invite your colleagues over for a great meal.

When it comes to love: you are the last true romantic. Make sure you are loved again. Number 6 suits you best. The 7 drives you crazy, with the 8 you have fantastic sex.

Yourcolors: Pink, soft rosé and scarlet.

Your scents: Mint, pine and pepper.


Number 7

Characteristics: perfectionist, independent, enigmatic.

At work: You have a sharp mind when you leave your own foreign currencies behind. You plan carefully and never blurt out an idea that hasn't been thought through. Don't set yourself unattainable goals.

With friends: You have a natural charm but are still lonely. You may not get the affection you crave because they think you don't need it.

Inlove: Your cold nature puts some men off. The ideal number for you would be 1 or 4. You lead the way, he supports you in your self-doubt and insecurity. Avoid the 6, so much romance is not compatible with your pragmatic character.

Your colors: Brick red, sand.

Your scents: Geranium, incense and sandalwood.


Number 8

Characteristics: generous, impatient, strict.

At work: You radiate natural authority and a healthy dose of ambition - this is your recipe for success. You experience fairness and teamwork, not ruthlessness. You are as popular as you are successful - simply too good to be true. Money is important, but you don't want to win the lottery, you want to earn it.

With friends: Your ability to always look at two sides makes you a thoughtful friend who is always happy to be consulted. You are generous to friends when you go out at night.

Inlove: You take a relationship seriously, are generous, loving and honest - if you get around to it because of all the work. Do you have to achieve your highest goal? The fact that you take life lightly is reflected in the fact that the sexy 5, romantic 6 and companionable 8 can put a smile on your face. You would only have a problem with the 9, as you would constantly try to outdo each other.

Your colors: Yellow-brown, bronze and opal.

Your scent: cedar.


Number 9

Characteristics: Worldly, moody, compassionate.

Atwork: With your versatility, you think you can do almost anything, but creativity and travel suit you best.

With friends: Your demeanor is so confident and entices your colleagues to always seek your advice. In addition, your empathy invites people to have a good cry with you.

Inlove: Your natural charm and lack of naivety make men stand in line. You won't drive away any interested parties by mistaking the slightest flirtation for true love. Nevertheless, you are not lacking in romance and your relationships are built to last. You are very influenced by external moods, so you are happiest with a lucky person - e.g. the cheerful 3, physical 5 and enigmatic 7. You are not exactly soul mates, but you certainly have a fantastic time together. The old-fashioned 4 is bound to get on your nerves.

Your colors: olive green and red.

Her perfume: hyacinth, rosemary and sandalwood.


Number 11

Characteristics: intuitive, clever, successful.

At work: You can fill a managerial position, but are only motivated when you feel challenged. The slightest routine will sap your energy.

With friends: You are very charismatic and everyone wants to be your friend. Your natural tolerance level protects you from false friends. Your demeanor is that of a calm and attractive person.

Inlove: You are very emotional and often cause men to pull away because of your demanding nature. Sex could be fun with number 3, but passive 2, sensitive 4 and romantic 6 could also make you happy.

Your colors: Green, black and silver.

Your scents: The 11 has the best sense of smell and likes chamomile, lavender, peppermint, hyacinth, jasmine and patchouli.


Number 22

Characteristics: adventurous, unpredictable, contradictory.

At work: You have problems finding a place where you are happy. However, once you have decided where to direct your energy, you are unstoppable. You move to London to work and as soon as you arrive, you are lured back to Paris.

With friends: You appear flighty, but deep down you are a serious person. Only your closest friends know this side of you. You are valued as a friend, and your wanderlust means you have friends all over the world.

In love: You dominate, so you date the 2, who is likely to be somewhat in your shadow. The earthy 4 or worldly 11 also suits you. Watch out for the 3. You are too different.

Your colors: White and gold.

Your scent: orange blossom.
