Is your birth number a good match? Let’s find out!

1)     What is your birth number?

In numerology, numbers are really important. Your number can help you see if you and your partner are a good match or not. Here’s how it works.

2)    How do you calculate your birth number?

Add all the digits of your birth date together until you get a single number. Once you know your number, you can check the compatibility chart to see how well you match with others.

3)           Number 1:

If your number is 1, your best matches are people with numbers 3 and 5. These numbers tend to be easygoing and can handle your strong and                  sometimes bossy personality.

4)   On the other hand,

it’s best to avoid people with a number 8 because both 1 and 8 can be too competitive with each other. While number 2 is gentle, sensitive, and diplomatic, they work better with a number 1 in a business or work relationship, rather than a romantic one.

5)   Number 2:

If your number is 2, your best matches are with people who have the visionary number 8 or the kind, caring number 9. The business-focused number 8 is a great fit because your gentle nature balances their strong, hardworking personality, whether in love or business. Number 9, who is calm and sophisticated, is also a good match. You might also get along well with a protective and loving number 6.

6)  On the other hand,

a practical and reliable number 4 might seem like a good match at first, but over time, they may feel boring to you. The same goes for the serious and quiet number 7. A 1 and 2 pairing can work, but only if both understand and respect their different roles in the relationship.

7)   Number 3:

If your number is 3, you’ve probably had great relationships with people who have numbers 5 and 7. The fun and adventurous number 5 matches your love for excitement and unpredictability, while the thoughtful and mysterious number 7 brings depth and meaning to your life.

8)   On the other hand,

it’s best to avoid someone with the number 4, even though they are reliable and practical. When a 3 and 4 are together, they tend to bring out the worst in each other, even though their qualities could be good for the relationship.

9)    Number 4:

If your number is 4, you value long-term, stable relationships more than any other number. It’s not that you dislike being alone, but you prefer a steady, routine lifestyle that comes with lasting relationships. Because of this, you get along well with people who have numbers 2, 4, and 8.

10)   On the other hand,

number 4s usually don’t get along well with numbers 3, 6, and 8 because those numbers are more outgoing and flashy.

11)     Number 5:

If your number is 5, you have many great options for romantic partners. The bold and adventurous number 1 is a good match, as well as the fun and creative number 3. You might also connect well with the caring and supportive number 6 and the sincere number 7.

12)    On the other hand,

you might not get along with numbers 4 and 8 unless one of you is ready to change completely.

13)     Number 6:

If your number is 6, you can have a happy, long-lasting relationship with just about any number. Your willingness to make sacrifices helps create a strong foundation in any relationship.

14)   On the other hand,

even though you get along with most numbers, 3 and 5 could be tricky because they tend to focus on themselves.

15)   Number 7:

If your number is 7, you are the least likely to get married and stay married compared to the other numbers. However, many 7s do end up getting married, but often later in life. You’ll likely get along well with numbers 3 and 5.

16)   On the other hand,

you might not get along well with number 2 because you find them too shallow and sentimental. Number 1 feels too bossy for you, while number 8 seems too focused on money. You also think number 9 is too distant.

17)   Number 8:

If your number is 8, you’re likely to choose a partner whom you can guide and have some control over. Because of this, number 2, who is nurturing, and number 6, who is caring and supportive, are usually good matches for you.

18)    On the other hand,

the strong and independent number 1 might end up arguing with you every day. The free-spirited number 5 isn’t a good match either, and neither is the creative number 3, who can be unreliable and inconsistent.

19)  Number 9:

If your number is 9, you might face the most challenges in relationships compared to the other numbers. You have a noble side and value your independence. Because of this, you’ll likely get along well with numbers 2 and 3.

20)   On the other hand,

you might want to steer clear of the unpredictable number 5 and the unconventional number 7. Numbers 1 and 9 are very different from each other, which can make them attracted to one another, but they usually don’t stay together.

I Took an Abandoned Girl from Church on Easter Only to Uncover My MIL’s Deepest Secret — Story of the Day

She was five. Alone. Holding an Easter basket on the church steps. I brought her home against my MIL’s protests. By evening, I realized this child wasn’t a stranger to our family at all.

I don’t like celebrating Easter with my husband’s family.

It’s not the holiday itself — it’s beautiful, bright, full of the smell of yeasty dough and fresh flowers. But celebrating it under my MIL’s sharp gaze feels like sitting on needles in a lace dress.

To her, I’ve always been a little “not right.”

So when my husband, Dave, suggested going to her place, I made every effort not to grimace. He was drying his hands with a towel, clearly hoping I’d say “yes” without hesitation this time.

“Come on, love. It’ll be nice.”

I sat at the kitchen table with a cup of tea that had long gone cold.

“You know exactly how it’ll go,” I murmured without looking up.

“She’s trying,” Dave said softly. “She even decorated the terrace with flowers. Says she’s making it just like when I was a kid.”

“Yeah. With the same ‘jokes’ from back then — like how you’re still childless because your wife clearly can’t bake anything more meaningful than a cake.”

Dave let out a slow breath. Silent. Not denying it.

“She doesn’t know,” he said after a pause.

“And she doesn’t need to. It’s our business. Not hers.”

Dave nodded. But I saw it in his eyes — the weariness. The way he’d grown tired of being the rope in a silent tug-of-war between two women who loved him in different ways.

I turned to the window. Crocuses had started blooming. Easter was around the corner.

“Fine,” I stood up. “Let’s go. Better her decorated terrace than our walls reminding us of what we don’t have.”

“You sure?”

“No,” I smiled. “But I have a nice dress. It deserves some air.”

Dave laughed and raised his hands in surrender.

“So are we blessing the Easter basket or just keeping the peace for one day?”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself until I’m actually holding the basket,” I grumbled, pulling on my coat.

An hour later, we were driving down a road sprinkled with fallen blossoms. I had no idea this Easter would be more challenging than I expected.

The morning went surprisingly well. Cynthia greeted us without a single eye roll or poisonous comment.

The Easter service was beautiful.

Light streamed through the stained-glass windows, and I found myself almost relaxed, sitting beside Dave with Cynthia on the other side, clutching her blessed basket like a relic.

No side-eyes. No sighs. No carefully sharpened remarks. For the first time ever, it felt like a normal holiday. A quiet, uneventful, even… pleasant Easter. At least, that’s what I thought.

When the service ended, we stepped out into the sunlight. I stood near Dave’s mother as she scanned the crowd.

“Where’s David? Still in there?”

“He’s helping someone with the candles.”

Cynthia muttered something under her breath and headed toward the car. I was about to follow when…

I saw her.

A little girl, no older than five, was sitting alone on the edge of the stone steps. Her Easter basket rested beside her — jelly beans inside, and a chocolate bunny with one ear already bitten off.

She was Black. Dressed in a white cardigan and yellow dress, her shoes perfectly polished. But her face looked… abandoned.

I walked over slowly and crouched down.

“Hey there. Are you waiting for someone?”

She looked up. Big brown eyes. Calm, but uncertain.

“My daddy. Mama said he’d be here to get me.”

“You came here alone?”

She shook her head.

“Mom brought me. She said Daddy would come.”

Before I could ask more, I heard a sharp voice behind me.

“There you are!” Cynthia’s heels clicked against the pavement. “What on earth are you doing? We’re all waiting in the car!”

“This little girl… She’s waiting for her father. Says he’s supposed to meet her here.”

Cynthia gave her a long look, unimpressed. “Oh, come on. You don’t really believe that.”

“She seems sure. Maybe we could check with someone? Or let the priest know?”

Cynthia rolled her eyes.

“She seems like she walked away from some social worker. You don’t just leave a five-year-old at church with a basket and expect a miracle.”

Then, she narrowed her eyes at me, already sensing where that was going.

“And don’t even think about getting involved. You’re not bringing some stranger’s child into someone’s clean home on Easter Sunday.”

“She’s not a kitten. She’s a child. Alone. I’m not leaving her here.”

“She’ll be fine!” Cynthia snapped. “Someone will come for her. It’s a church, not a bus stop.”

I looked down. The girl had gone quiet.

“I’ll take her with us,” I said.

“You will not.” Cynthia’s voice went cold. “This is my house. I decide who walks through my door.”

“Then Dave and I will get a hotel.”

“You’re being ridiculous.”

I knelt again beside the girl.

“What’s your name, sweetheart?”

“Ava,” she whispered.

“Well, Ava, how about you come with us for a little while? Just until we find your Mom or Dad, okay?”

She nodded.

Dave appeared just as I was scribbling our address on the back of a church flyer and handing it to the priest. Cynthia stormed toward him.

“Your wife is bringing home strays now!”

Dave looked at me, then at Ava, then at his mother.

“It’s fine,” he said calmly. “She can come with us.”

“She what? David!”

“She’s a little girl, Mom. It’s Easter.”

Cynthia stared at both of us like we’d lost our minds. But I held Ava’s hand as we walked to the car. And Dave didn’t let go of mine.

I had no idea who that child truly was.

But something deep inside me already knew — that wasn’t random.

Ava followed me through the hallway in tiny socks, carefully stepping on the wooden floor like it might crack beneath her.

The house smelled like Easter bread and tension.

Cynthia hadn’t said a word since we came in. She’d pursed her lips so tight I thought they might disappear entirely.

Dave, bless him, tried to smooth things over — making tea, chatting about traffic, pretending we hadn’t just brought a mysterious child into his childhood home.

But Ava was… different.

She didn’t whine. Didn’t ask for cartoons. She just sat at the table drawing, focused, quiet. Her tiny fingers gripped a purple crayon like it was the only anchor she had.

I leaned over.

“That’s beautiful. Who is it?”

She held up the drawing — a man, a woman, and a little girl between them. They were holding hands.

The man had brown hair and green eyes. Just like Dave.

I swallowed hard.

“You like drawing your mom and dad?”

She nodded.

“Sometimes I dream about them. Together.”

I stood and quietly went to the guest room where we’d placed her backpack. I needed to find her toothbrush. Or clean socks. Or anything — just something to do with my hands.

I unzipped the side pocket. A photo slipped out. It fluttered to the floor.

I bent down. And froze. It was a printed photo. A young couple, smiling.

The woman — beautiful, dark-skinned, with soft curls around her cheeks. The man — tall, white, with familiar green eyes.

Familiar face.

Familiar jawline.

Familiar dimple.

My husband!

“Ava?” I called gently, stepping into the hallway.

She peeked out from the kitchen, chewing on a cookie. I showed her the photo.

“Sweetheart… Who’s this?”

She smiled brightly.

“That’s my mommy and daddy!”

I tried to return the smile. But my cheeks refused to move.

“Do you know your daddy’s name?”

She paused. “I think… David. I’ve never met him.”

My heart dropped.

I nodded slowly and turned down the hallway, my fingers trembling around the photo.

Then, the soft creak of a floorboard behind me. A sigh.

Cynthia.

She was already standing there, arms folded, eyes narrowed like she’d been waiting for her cue. I stepped into the living room where Dave sat on the couch, holding out the photo.

“Dave. What is this?”

My husband looked up. His face went pale. Before he could speak, Cynthia’s voice cut through the air like ice.

“Oh, for God’s sake,” she snapped, striding into the room. “I heard everything. First, you bring home a random child, now you’re accusing my son of being her father? What kind of circus is this?”

Dave stood up.

“Mom. Stop.”

Cynthia’s eyes burned into mine.

“You’re seriously turning Easter into some twisted drama? What’s next — a baby goat in the guest room?”

Dave didn’t look at her. He took my hand.

“She might be my daughter.”

***

The house held its breath.

Dave sat on the armrest of the couch, staring at the photo in his hand like it was ticking. Cynthia paced near the fireplace, arms crossed so tightly her knuckles turned white.

Ava was upstairs, drawing. Quiet as a ghost. And just as heavy on our hearts. Then the doorbell rang. We all froze. Cynthia frowned.

“Who could that possibly be?”

Dave looked at me. I didn’t say anything — just headed toward the door, my palms damp.

When I opened it, I saw her.

A tall woman stood on the porch. Black. Graceful. The wind tugged at her scarf, revealing soft curls and sharp cheekbones. Her eyes were tired.

It took me only a second to place her. She was the woman from the photo. The one smiling beside Dave in the snapshot, hidden in Ava’s backpack.

The one who hadn’t said a word. Until now.

“Hi,” she said softly. “You must be the one who brought Ava.”

I nodded.

“I’m Daisy,” she added. “Her mother.”

I stepped aside without speaking. She entered slowly, like someone stepping into a house that once belonged to her in a dream.

Dave stood up the moment he saw her.

“Daisy…?”

“I got your number from the priest. But I didn’t call. I already knew where to go.”

“You knew we’d be here?”

“I didn’t… not until I saw you this morning. At the church.”

Dave froze.

“I was walking past with Ava,” she continued. “We were just going to sit outside and listen to the choir. But then Ava saw you. She didn’t know it was you. I did.”

Daisy’s voice trembled, just slightly.

“Ava always asks about you. I didn’t plan anything. But I thought…”

She paused. Looked around the room.

“I told her to wait for her Dad.”

“You left her?” Cynthia’s voice cut like broken glass.

“I stayed,” Daisy said, turning sharply. “I watched everything. You were one of the last families to leave. I wanted to see what you’d do. Whether you’d ignore her. Whether you’d walk away.”

Dave looked like he was about to fall.

“You should have told me.”

“I tried. Twice. The first time, I got your voicemail. The second… your mother answered the door. After that, your number stopped working.”

All heads turned to Cynthia. She didn’t flinch. But her mouth was tight.

“I was protecting you,” she said.

“No,” Daisy replied. “You were protecting yourself. Your image. Your control.”

“I was protecting my son’s future!”

“You stole his present. And his daughter’s.”

Dave’s face crumbled. He turned to me, searching, as if for balance.

I stepped forward and said quietly, “She’s not trying to break anything, Cynthia. She’s trying to give something back.”

Then we heard the footsteps. Ava appeared at the top of the stairs, holding a piece of paper.

“Mommy?”

Daisy’s entire face changed. She crouched without thinking.

“Hey, baby.”

Ava ran to her, curling into her arms like she’d been waiting for this hug her whole life. Dave’s voice broke the silence.

“I didn’t know. God, I didn’t know.”

“You do now,” Daisy answered gently. “And she’s right here.”

Dave looked at me. I reached for his hand.

“She’s your daughter. I’m not going anywhere. But neither is she.”

Cynthia stood still. I turned to her.

“I may never be able to give you a grandchild. But you already have one. Maybe not the one you imagined. But real. Brilliant. Here.”

Cynthia didn’t answer. But something shifted in her eyes. She looked at Ava, and her shoulders dropped.

“You can stay,” she said hoarsely. “All of you. It’s Easter. And I guess… even the messiest families deserve to be together.”

Ava stepped toward me and unfolded her drawing.

“I made us all. Even Granny Cynthia. Just in case.”

Cynthia blinked. For a second, I thought she might cry. She cleared her throat.

“That’s… very sweet, dear.”

Ava smiled shyly and returned to Daisy’s side. And I… I just watched them. A man. A woman. A child. A mess. A miracle. A maybe.

Maybe our family didn’t begin the way we hoped. Maybe it was twisted, tangled, and painful.

But it was real. It was ours. And somehow, in the most unexpected way, I’d found someone I didn’t even know I was meant to love.
