Negative Expression of the Life Path in Numerology

Most people are using their lives in a constructive manner.  In numerology terms, we would say that they are expressing the positive side of their Life Path, the side of the Life Path discussed under "Central Focus." Everybody, from time to time, and some few people almost all the time, express the negative side of the path instead and live in a non-constructive (rarely destructive) way. The "Negative Expression," the third horizontal division, defines the facets of this side of the character. A person expresses negatively (a) when he exaggerates the lesson of the Life Path to the point of unproductivity, or (b) when he denies the lesson of the Life Path to express the very opposite of the intended lesson.

Later on, we'll see how, in some cases, you can determine whether this negative approach is stressed to the detriment of the major lesson. Even when a person is following this negative expression, he still possesses the traits noted in the "Characteristics" division, but he is apt to be emphasizing the negative end of the continuum of some of the traits, at least.
