Life Path Number
Discover your life's purpose and direction through your Life Path number calculation and interpretation.
Overview
The Life Path number is the most important number in numerology, calculated from your birth date. It reveals your life's purpose, natural talents, and the lessons you're here to learn. This number guides your major life decisions and shows the path to fulfillment.
Your Life Path number remains constant throughout your life and represents the journey you're meant to take. It doesn't guarantee what will happen, but rather shows the opportunities and challenges that will help you grow and evolve.
Understanding your Life Path number can help you make better decisions, choose the right career, and understand your relationships with others.
How to Calculate Your Life Path Number
To calculate your Life Path number, you need to reduce your birth date to a single digit (or master number 11, 22, or 33). Here's the step-by-step process:
1. Write down your birth date in MM/DD/YYYY format
2. Add all the digits together
3. Reduce to a single digit by adding the digits of the sum
4. If you get 11, 22, or 33, these are master numbers and are not reduced further
For example, if your birth date is March 15, 1990 (03/15/1990):
0+3+1+5+1+9+9+0 = 28
2+8 = 10
1+0 = 1
Your Life Path number would be 1.
Key Points
- Use your complete birth date for calculation
- Add all digits and reduce to single digit
- Master numbers 11, 22, 33 are not reduced
