Life Path Number 3 Personality Traits and Characteristics

People who are 3s can best be described as exceptionally gifted, scatter-brained teenagers who need constant guidance. They are also creative, sharp-witted, and charming, and as if that wasn’t enough, they are also usually blessed with good looks. 

What makes threes even more endearing is their great sense of humor, ‘carpe diem’ attitude, and their innate ability to always see the good in everything around them.

Self-expression is important for threes, and they can do this through music, poetry, dance, and art. Something else about a three is that they are very much in tune with their feelings, and are as comfortable in their own company, as they are with the universe.

It is really difficult not to be drawn to a three. They are generous and optimistic, easy to be around, and have a great outlook on life. As a three, you are slow to anger and quick to forgive. The only time you hold a grudge is when you feel someone has truly done you wrong.

But it isn’t all moonlight and roses for the seemingly three. They are prone to restlessness and can become bored quickly, with people and things. For this creative soul, not being able to express themselves could lead them down the path of drugs and alcohol.

Life Path 3 in Love, Romance & Relationships

In love, you need to find someone who shares the same outlook as you.

They don’t need to be as creative, but it will certainly help if they appreciate the arts. Although you are naturally drawn to a number that shares the same spontaneous spirit as you, a lack of responsibility or grounding can become an issue.

As far as numerology goes, a three will do well with a Life Path 5. This is because they are as adventurous as you, and share the same positive outlook. They are spontaneous, and you can rest assured, there will never be a dull moment when you are together. The only negative, however, with a three and a five is that you could find yourselves in trouble as you throw caution to the wind while grabbing life by its horns.

Another good match for a three is a 7. Sevens are incredibly intuitive and thoughtful and are able to bring out your creativity. This partnership works well because you both similarly deal with emotions, and there is very little chance of you drifting apart or arguing. It is important to point out that a 7 won’t crave the same sense of adventure and excitement as you, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing as they could help you find the balance you need.

Although the life path numbers 4 and 8 don’t make the best romantic partners, it will do three good to have a few of these practical people around to keep them grounded.

Regardless of who you are in a relationship with, it is essential that you are able to express yourself, in your music, art or even your personal appearance. Being an individual is high on your list of priorities, and you will let go of a relationship long before you let go of that.

You can get deeper insight into how your love life will unfold by considering the other numbers in your numerology chart. Both your soul urge and destiny numbers bring an energy to your personality that will influence the type of romantic partners you will attract.

Life Path Number 3 relationship compatibility

Threes Are Most Compatible With

Luckily for a person with a 3 life path, your interpersonal skills and likeability mean you get on with most numbers, but you might find you gel with some better than others. When it comes to numerology, those with a 3 life path are most compatible with a 1, a 5 and a 7.

When life path number 1 and 3 get together, it is hard to find too many faults. Keeping numerology in mind, the three does a really good job at stroking the 1’s ego, while acknowledging all of their accomplishments. The 1 life path does an equally good job of pushing the three professionally. But life isn’t all smooth sailing for this power couple. A person with the life path 1 tends to be a little critical of a three’s inability to focus, but because they get on so well, it usually isn’t a dealbreaker.

Another three also makes for a great partnership, but it goes without saying that there will be a lot of fireworks in the relationship. While it will be short-lived, two 3s together will unleash each other’s creativity.

Although it isn’t a relationship that is guaranteed to work, when a three and a five get together, it is nothing short of exhilarating. In this partnership, each person pushes the other to succeed both on an emotional and professional level, but chances are it won’t last too long. But your time together will most certainly be memorable.

 A 7 will initially be attracted to the intellect of someone with a 3 life path, but unless you share similar interests that is where it pretty much ends. People on the 7 life path journey can be mystical, which will pique your interest enough to stick around, but when they become somewhat introverted there is a good chance you won’t know how to handle it.

Threes Are Least Compatible With

For a person with life path 3, a relationship with the life path number 4 is a no-go zone. In numerology, the 4’s stubborn nature and your easy-come-easy-go approach to most things will drive each other insane. At a push, the two of you could have a professional relationship, but be warned, it’s a big push.

People with an 8 life or destiny number will catch the attention of a three, because of their physical appearance and authoritative manner. Still, the constant criticism will drive you around the bend.

You would think a three and a six would be compatible, given that 6 is the most harmonious number. It could be because of the three’s lack of focus and discipline or their inability to commit, but whatever the reason, this is a doomed relationship from the start.

Finally, compatibility in numerology also needs to look at the energies in the other numbers in your numerology chart. Clashes as at a life path level can sometimes be harmonised by the other numbers in your numerology chart. To discover your core numerology profile, click here for a free numerology reading.

Life Path 3 Career

The problem for people with a three life path number when it comes to a career is finding one that keeps them engaged and interested. In terms of numerology, three is an independent number that thrives on self-expression and creativity, which means they don’t necessarily fit into the most obvious job categories. 

While it is a good idea for other numbers to follow their passion, the problem with you is that yours change on an almost daily basis. You are also not good at sticking to something, especially if you have lost interest in it. With this in mind, it is a good idea to avoid regular 9 to 5 jobs, where you feel boxed in.

As a three, you are most suited to a job that allows you to express yourself artistically.

You have excellent communication skills and excel when it comes to self-expression of any sort. Think filmmaking, acting, painting, photography, designing, writing, journalism, law, teaching, counselling, psychology, screenwriting, dancing and sculpting, Threes also excel as cartoonists, gardeners, art dealers and fashion or jewellery designers. 

Further, your soul urge number will influence how your soul wants to express itself. To compare your soul urge to your life path number, click here for a free numerology reading. It will provide greater insight into what career you maybe best suited for.

Life Path 3 Travel and Hobbies

For a 3, life is one big adventure, and curiosity is your middle name.

This means the world is literally your oyster, with opportunities waiting around every corner. No matter what kind of vacation you choose, your positive outlook and childlike joy allow you to get the best out of every moment. Whether you are taking in the sights and sounds of a bustling city like Tokyo or enjoying the scenic landscapes of Tuscany, it’s all a hashtag adventure for you.

People with the 3 life path might be tempted to chop and change hobbies often, but that is okay. You will find you are generally good at everything you do, including sports, card games, martial arts as well as computers and technology.

Life Path 3 Lessons & Challenges

In numerology, there are a few challenges a three needs to overcome. For example, your joie de vivre. Although this is one of your most positive attributes, it is also your Achilles heel. You are so busy living in the moment, you kind of forget that there is a tomorrow. Being responsible with money is definitely not your forte, and there is no such thing as saving for a rainy day in your world.red

You are also not the most responsible as far as numerology goes. And you tend to get bored quickly, in relationships, your career, and even your hobbies. Although it doesn’t often happen, when a three feels they have been wronged, or can’t express themselves creatively, they can become moody, and sometimes even irritable.

People on a 3 life journey that have learned to hone their artistic talents and positively use them to express themselves are the happiest. You must have an outlet for your creativity, whether it is in your career or the hobbies you choose.

Finally, there’s more to numerology than personality profiles. You can also use it to forecast the energies in the weeks, months and years ahead.
