What is a Birth Number?
In numerology, your Birth Number (often called the Life Path Number) is perhaps the most influential aspect of your chart. It is derived from the sum of your full date of birth and represents the core of who you are—your innate traits, your life's purpose, and the challenges you are likely to face.
How the Calculation Works
To calculate your birth number, we use the method of "digit reduction." We reduce each component of your birth date (day, month, and year) to a single digit or a "Master Number" (11, 22, or 33), and then sum those values until a final single digit is achieved.
Example Calculation:
If you were born on July 15, 1992:
1. Month: July is the 7th month = 7
2. Day: 15 = 1 + 5 = 6
3. Year: 1992 = 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 21 -> 2 + 1 = 3
4. Total: 7 + 6 + 3 = 16 -> 1 + 6 = 7
In this case, the Birth Number is 7.

What are Master Numbers?
