Life Path Number

Life path numbers are at the heart of numerology. A life path number, derived from your birth date shows who you are as a person. It reveals your personality, life challenges, and innate talents.

Your life path number is considered the most significant aspect of your numerological profile, providing a roadmap to understanding your true self and your journey through life.

The life path number might also be called a life lesson number or life number.

Calculating Your Life Path Number

To discover your life path number, simply reduce your birth date to its numerical value. Here’s how:

1. Add together the digits of your birth month.
2. Add together the digits of your birth day.
3. Add together the digits of your birth year.

After you have a number for each, add these three numbers together. If the resulting number is more than a single digit (except for the master numbers 11, 22, 33, and 44), reduce it by adding the digits together until you get a single digit.

For example, if you were born on July 20, 1982, you would calculate your Life Path Number as follows:

• July = 7
• 20 = 2 + 0 = 2
• 1982 = 1 + 9 + 8 + 2 = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2

Then, add these numbers together: 7 + 2 + 2 = 11. Since 11 is a master number, you do not reduce it further.
