Elbert Hubbard

Life Path Number 9

 Secrets are things we give to others to keep for us.

Elbert Hubbard was an American writer, publisher, artist, and philosopher, best known as the initiator of the Roycroft artisan community in East Aurora, New York, a realization of the Arts and Crafts philosophy.

He was born on Thursday June 19th 1856, in Bloomington, Illinois, United States.


Elbert Hubbard is the philanthropist, humanitarian, socially conscious, and is deeply concerned about the state of the world, for which he has great compassion and idealism. Elbert is a utopian, and will spend his life trying to realize some aspect of his utopian dream, sacrificing money, time, and energy for a better world. It is in giving that Hubbard finds much satisfaction.


Elbert is imaginative and creative, especially at harmoniously arranging the beauty already potential in the environment. These abilities can lead Hubbard into such fields as interior decorating, landscape art, and photography. But because of his strong social consciousness, Elbert Hubbard can be an effective politician, lawyer, judge, minister, teacher, healer, and environmentalist. Vocations that require self-sacrifice and have a clear social impact are common among 9s.

He is often disappointed by the realities of life: the shortcomings of others, or of his own self's. Somehow, Elbert Hubbard does not want to accept the imperfections of the world, a feeling that drives him constantly to try to improve upon it. But rather than be satisfied with his efforts, and those of others, Elbert relentlessly pushes on, striving for greater accomplishments. He is often unsatisfied with the results. In short, Hubbard lacks the perspective that would otherwise make it possible for him to enjoy life more fully, and accept its natural limitations.

Elbert Hubbard has a controlled enthusiasm and the ability to finish what he starts.

A key to Elbert's personality is the necessity of sacrifice. Elbert has to learn to let go of material possessions and relationships, the inherent lesson being that holding on too tightly to anything causes pain.

Money comes to Elbert Hubbard through mysterious or unexpected ways: inheritance; the benevolence of someone who was inspired by Hubbard's work; or a lucky investment. Conversely, if Elbert pursues money for its own sake, after giving up on his larger dreams, he is likely to find himself empty handed.

The most successful and satisfying road for a nine is giving; sharing and sacrificing for a larger goal, without expecting anything in return. Elbert's greatest chance at success is to tie his personal fortunes to an endeavor that makes the world a better place for others. Very often, this turns into a highly successful and lucrative enterprise, providing amply for Elbert Hubbard and his family. His life rests on the axiom that the more he gives, the bigger his reward.

Elbert Hubbard is romantic, but his love is more impersonal. He tends to be focused on his dreams instead.

When Elbert is not in harmony with his true nature, he can fall to moodiness, or become aloof, and withdrawn. He can become timid, uncertain, and ungrateful, putting the blame for his troubles on others or the world. Hubbard has a gift for examining his life objectively, and at some distance. He has to be honest with himself. By openly facing his shortcomings, as well as his strengths, he develops equilibrium. Elbert Hubbard is thus able to love and better understand himself and all of life.
