Numerology is a mystical system that assigns meaning to numbers and their influence on our lives. The Life Path Number, derived from your date of birth, is considered one of the most significant numbers in numerology. It is believed to reveal your core personality traits, strengths, weaknesses, and the challenges and opportunities you might encounter throughout your life.
How to Calculate Your Life Path Number
The calculation involves reducing each component of your birth date (day, month, and year) to a single digit (or a master number like 11, 22, 33), and then summing these reduced numbers.
Steps:
Reduce Day: Add the digits of your birth day until you get a single digit (1-9) or a master number (11, 22, 33). For example, if you were born on the 15th, 1 + 5 = 6. If born on the 29th, 2 + 9 = 11 (a master number).
Reduce Month: Do the same for your birth month. For example, August is the 8th month, so it remains 8.
Reduce Year: Add the digits of your birth year. For example, for 1990, 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19. Then, reduce 19 further: 1 + 9 = 10. Finally, reduce 10: 1 + 0 = 1. So, the reduced year for 1990 is 1.
Sum Reduced Numbers: Add the reduced day, reduced month, and reduced year together.
Final Reduction: Reduce the sum from step 4 to a single digit (1-9) or a master number (11, 22, 33). For example, if the sum is 25, 2 + 5 = 7. If the sum is 29, 2 + 9 = 11.
The final single digit or master number is your Life Path Number.
