G.K. Chesterton

Life Path Number 9


G.K. Chesterton was an English writer, lay theologian, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, literary and art critic, biographer, and Christian apologist, who is often referred to as the "prince of paradox".

He was born on Friday May 29th 1874, in London, England.


G.K. Chesterton is the philanthropist, humanitarian, socially conscious, and is deeply concerned about the state of the world, for which he has great compassion and idealism. Gilbert 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 Chesterton finds much satisfaction.

G.K. Chesterton has a broad outlook on life. He tends to see the big picture, rather than the minute details. Gilbert naturally attracts people from all walks of life who can fit into his larger plans and take over the areas he finds uninteresting. The person with a 9 Life Path is rarely prejudiced or accepts social biases of people. Instead, they evaluate people on the basis of what they can do for the larger cause. They are the true egalitarian.

Gilbert is imaginative and creative, especially at harmoniously arranging the beauty already potential in the environment. These abilities can lead Chesterton into such fields as interior decorating, landscape art, and photography. But because of his strong social consciousness, G.K. Chesterton 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, G.K. Chesterton 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, Gilbert relentlessly pushes on, striving for greater accomplishments. He is often unsatisfied with the results. In short, Chesterton lacks the perspective that would otherwise make it possible for him to enjoy life more fully, and accept its natural limitations.

G.K. Chesterton has a controlled enthusiasm and the ability to finish what he starts.

A key to Gilbert's personality is the necessity of sacrifice. Gilbert 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 G.K. Chesterton through mysterious or unexpected ways: inheritance; the benevolence of someone who was inspired by Chesterton's work; or a lucky investment. Conversely, if Gilbert 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. Gilbert'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 G.K. Chesterton and his family. His life rests on the axiom that the more he gives, the bigger his reward.

G.K. Chesterton is romantic, but his love is more impersonal. He tends to be focused on his dreams instead.

When Gilbert 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. Chesterton 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. G.K. Chesterton is thus able to love and better understand himself and all of life.
