What is a Life Path Number?
A life path number in numerology is akin to a blueprint of your life. It reveals the essence of who you are, your life’s purpose, and the lessons you’re here to learn. It influences every aspect of your life, including career choices, relationships, your approach to challenges and opportunities, etc.
How to Calculate Your Life Path Number
Calculating your life path number involves reducing your birth date to a single digit or a master number (11, 22, or 33). Here’s how to do it:
- Write down your full birth date.
- Example: December 25, 1990.
- Reduce the day, month, and year to single digits.
- Month: December is the 12th month → 1 + 2 = 3.
- Day: 25 → 2 + 5 = 7.
- Year: 1990 → 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19. Then, 1 + 9 = 10. Finally, 1 + 0 = 1.
- Add these three numbers together.
- 3 (Month) + 7 (Day) + 1 (Year) = 11.
- If the sum is a double-digit number, reduce it to a single digit unless it is 11, 22, or 33, which are considered master numbers.
- The life path number in this example is 11 (master number), so it would not be reduced. However, if the number was 15, for instance, the life path number would be 6 (1+5 = 6).
