How to Calculate Life Path Number
A simple guide to discover your Life Path Number using your birth date in numerology
Your Life Path Number is the most important number in numerology. It reveals your life's purpose, natural talents, and the path you're meant to follow. Calculated from your birth date, it represents the core of who you are and what you're here to accomplish.
Write Your Birth Date
Start with your complete birth date in DD/MM/YYYY format:
Example
If you were born on 15th March 1990, write it as:
15 / 03 / 1990
Important: Use the actual date you were born, not the date on your birth certificate if they differ.
Add All Digits Together
Add all the digits of your birth date:
Example Calculation
For birth date: 15 / 03 / 1990
1 + 5 + 0 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 28
Add each digit: Day (1+5) + Month (0+3) + Year (1+9+9+0)
Reduce to Single Digit
Keep adding the digits until you get a single digit (1-9) or master numbers:
Continuing the Example
From step 2, we got: 28
2 + 8 = 10
1 + 0 = 1
Life Path Number = 1
Master Numbers: If you get 11, 22, or 33 during reduction, do NOT reduce further. These are master numbers with special significance.
