What does my birthday reveal about my personality

Numerology was an accepted part of ancient mathematics and revolves around the study of numbers, with each number from 0 to 9 representing a different personality trait based on its association with planets and/or moons in our solar system.

May 9

9 is your primary birth path. You are A Philosopher, a person with compassion, generosity, and a very humanitarian attitude.

To get your secondary birth path you need to work out your year
Example: if you were born in 1991 that is 1+9+9+1=20 which is 2+0=2
so add month 5 to day to your year calculation. In this example 5+9+2=16 which is 1+6=7
so you are also A Seeker, one with a peaceful and affectionate soul.

Note 11 is 11 not 1+1=2 and 22 is 22 not 2+2=4
Number 1 = One who has a need for personal attainment or an Achiever. Number 2 = One who clearly sees the full spectrum of viewpoints in any argument or situation, Idealist.
