Life Path Number

The most important number in numerology: your full birth date reduced to a single digit, describing the road you walk through life.

Life Path Number

How to calculate

Reduce month, day and year separately, then add and reduce again, keeping master numbers 11, 22 and 33. Example: 29 July 1990 → month 7, day 2+9 = 11, year 1+9+9+0 = 19 → 1+9 = 10 → 1. Then 7 + 11 + 1 = 19 → 10 → 1.

Common questions

Why reduce month, day and year separately?

It preserves master numbers that adding all digits at once can hide.

Is the life path the same as a Western sun sign?

It plays a similar role: the core number, read with the others.
