Understanding Life Purpose
Those on the 30/3 path are here to work through issues of expression and sensitivity, overcoming self-doubt to express themselves and use their inner gifts to encourage, uplift, and inspire others .... their work and destiny are clear and focused.
Emotional expression may not come easily for 30/3s at first; they may start out inhibited, but once they get rolling, the words flow.
Due to their innate emotional sensitivity, many 30/3s go a little numb or put up psychological armour as a defence against the emotional turbulence around them. They may appear unemotional to others, but strong, even passionate, feelings lie just beneath the surface. Those working 30/3 long for passionate involvement and an emotional connection with others ....
The inner gifts of expression, sensitivity, and spiritual discernment amplify 30/3s already-existing sensitivity ..... To the degree that 30/3s are in touch with their feelings, they have acutely developed intuitive powers. When they read newspapers or turn their attention to the world around them, they feel what needs to be done, and they express it ..... They may feel fully justified in complaining, because they usually point out wrongs that do, indeed, need to be addressed, but the challenge for 30/3s is finding ways to channel and release their expressive energy constructively .... as they describe the world, they see the world.
If 3s in general make the best depressive, 30/3s, with extreme sensitivity and self-doubt, have depression down to a fine art. Flipping between "I can do anything" and "It's just too much for me -- I'm not ready," they sometimes slip from confident highs into emotional slumps, feeling the weight of self-doubt, a major issue that sometimes stops them in their tracks just when they are about to succeed. Self-doubt tends to make 30/3s unprepared, not good enough, or not up to a task. Self-doubt can discourage and depress 30/3s until they see it as a challenge they are here to overcome, a hurdle for them to leap over as they push onward and upward.
The greatest gift of 30/3s lies in expression and inspired communication. Whether through speaking, acting, writing, or art, they find joy in moving others emotionally, perhaps moving them to action, to change, or to happiness. In the positive, their effectiveness comes from an ability to speak with feeling -- not just from the mind, but from the heart.
In general, 30/3s start out feeling less capable and more afraid of self-expression or public speaking than the average person who isn't working 3 energy.
Working 30/3 in the Positive
These individuals bring enthusiasm, compassion, understanding, and service into the world, in ways large or small, through their creative expression. Whatever their occupation, when they speak, they do so with attunement and sensitivity, and they uplift others. They are enthusiastic and connected with their emotions, and their expressiveness is passionate, forthright, and even inspired. They are honest in communicating their needs and feelings, neither manipulating nor allowing themselves to be manipulated. They manage their lives responsibly, not letting their own or other people's emotions run them. They use their inner gift of expression, sensitivity, and intuition in the service of others, with a joy and altruism that further amplifies those resources, putting 30/3s in touch with the subtle aspects and mystery of existence.
Working 30/3 in the Negative
Depressed about the love they feel they lack from others, these individuals complain about the wrongs of society and of their life, feeling justified because there's much to criticise in this world. Needy and hypersensitive, they whine or manipulate instead of stating honestly and directly what they need, who they are, and how they feel. Some are blocked in their sexual natures, while others have trouble with emotional or sexual fidelity and often get into promiscuous situations.
Health
Most 30/3s, especially those with suppressed emotions, experience vulnerability in the throat area due to a blocked expression. If 30/3s feel a scratchy throat or a blockage there, they need to ask themselves, "What do I need to express that I'm holding back?"..... Those working 30/3 need to eat and exercise according to what feels right for them intuitively -- what feels emotionally as well as physically good. But they need to take care not to be run by their moods or to seek emotional consolation in the form of food or self-pampering when they are feeling lovelorn. When they are feeling blue, expansive exercise to music lifts their spirits.
Relationships
Nearly all 30/3s have a needy emotional quality that says, "Appreciate me"; they look for this emotional support in the outside world rather than in themselves. Although they sometimes expect a lot without giving back in return, they also have a great capacity to give.
30/3s are romantics at heart. They love to fall in love, and they periodically get emotional "crushes." ..... they can have more lasting relationships by acknowledging and expressing, but not acting upon, infatuations that pass through their lives.
The emotional aura or energy field of 30/3s is their primary "erogenous zone." If their emotions are shut down, sexual technique doesn't help. When in a loving mood, however, they are moved by passion -- technique is secondary.
Relationships, for 30/3s, represent a monumental opportunity to work through issues of honest expression and emotional vulnerability. They do well to view relationships not only as a form of consolation and nurturance, but as a form of spiritual practice.
Talents, Work, and Finances
They have inherent gifts in any form of teaching, counseling, healing, performing, or creative expression due to their ability to tune into people and subtle dimensions.
In addition to their emotional sensitivity, those working 30/3 also have a superb depth of intuitive intelligence that cuts to the heart of some of life's core issues. Therefore, they do well in any field that involves clear logic and reason.
Any lack of money relates in some way to self-doubt. If 30/3s use their gifts and express in the positive, money follows.
Guidelines and Recommendations
Useful Questions
- Treat self-doubt as a hurdle to be overcome, not a stop sign.
- Give of yourself emotionally, even if you don't always feel you get back in equal measure.
- Allow and express your feelings in the moment.
- Trust and use your refined intuition and special resources.
1 Reflect on the following questions:
Have I held back my drive to express out of self-doubt?
Do I express my feelings and needs directly?
Am I sensitive to the needs of others?
Have I fully utilised my sensitive "internal guidance system" or other inner gifts? 2 If these questions generate any insights, how might you put these insights into practice?

I am a 30/3 -- according to "The Life You Were Born To Live" [author: Dan Millman -- published by HJ Kramer Inc, Tiburon, CA 94920] pp 176-182, from which the excerpts above and below are taken.
I was skeptical before I applied Dan's system of arriving at my birth number but, from the first paragraph of his fine book's description of the "30/3" characteristics, I was less and less inclined to scoff.
PLEASE NOTE that the excerpts above are just that, a synopsis of what I found within the pages of the book. As they are rendered above they are incomplete, except insofar as they are or were applicable to me.
I unreservedly recommend this book, if you feel the need to get more clarity on the direction your life should be taking.
