What is the life path number?

The life path number is the most significant number in numerology. It is derived entirely from your date of birth and describes the overarching theme and opportunities of your life journey.

How to calculate it

Add the digits of your birth day, month, and year separately, reduce each to a single digit, then add those three digits and reduce again.

Example: Born 15 March 1990 → Day: 1+5=6 · Month: 3 · Year: 1+9+9+0=19→1+9=10→1 · Total: 6+3+1 = 10 → 1

Master numbers

If any intermediate step produces 11, 22, or 33, some traditions treat these as master numbers and do not reduce them further.
