A 4 Life Path is all about developing stability through slow and steady processes. You’re cerebral, intelligent, and a seeker of knowledge. If you were to audition for the cast of Winnie the Pooh, you would land the role of Owl.

Because you know how to build solid foundations, you’re often placed in charge of developing operating systems and are expected to look after the details. You’re the workhorse and “master builder” of the world.

You devour information so that when you find a topic or subject that interests you, there’s no end to the depth of your knowledge about it and your ability to impart that knowledge to others.

You’re a born teacher. You may not become a teacher in the traditional sense, yet you demonstrate an undeniable depth of knowledge and just can’t help sharing what you know with others.

While you can certainly have a sense of humor and moments of lightheartedness, you tip the scales toward seriousness, brainy activity, and rational thought. You’re the first to say you don’t want to argue and yet you most often end up in arguments because you tend to be opinionated about things you feel you know a lot about.

Home is important to you. You crave a sense of security that “home” exemplifies.

One of the primary issues faced by the 4 Life Path is the necessity to work through problems with family of origin. In order to work optimally with the gifts of the 4 Life Path, you need to look at your wounded or problematic relationships and work through the feelings of lack and pain they’ve brought to you.

You like things that are tangible and solid. Honesty is crucial to you, especially in relationships. Because of the high-intensity way you absorb and process information, you need to take plenty of time for yourself and cultivate peace and quiet in your environment. This is imperative for your mental and physical health.

You have a sensible, traditional, well-behaved way about you and aren’t “into” people who are otherwise. You don’t understand people who are big risk takers, don’t follow the rules, or don’t thrive in a traditional work or family environment.

You feel most comfortable when you’re moving slowly and deliberately. You work out your plan and want your life to be orderly. Underneath that planning is a fear of chaos and a real dislike of appearing stupid or naïve in any situation. Overall, you’re eminently practical, hardworking, and determined. No matter what, you’ll get it done.

One of the primary issues the number 4 must come to terms with is limitation — both the limitations that are externally imposed on you and also the limitations that you impose upon yourself. Part of your life’s journey is to learn to get outside of your own box and take a chance or a risk once in a while.
