How to Find Your Life Path Number and What it Says About You

In both Astrology and Numerology, your birth date is significant in determining parts of your destiny.

In Astrology you look towards the planets for answers, but in Numerology you use the numbers of your birthdate to determine your Life Path Number.

This number is believed to hold clues as to part of your purpose in this lifetime and what lessons and experiences you are likely to fulfill.

 

Here is how to determine your Life Path Number:

Begin by converting your birthdate into single digits. So for example, if you are born on August 20, 1980 you would do this:

Month: 8 (August is the 8th month)

Day: 2+0 =2

Year: 1+9+8+0= 18 (Keep reducing this number to a single digit)

1+8=9

Then you would add these three numbers together:

8+2+9= 19

(Month+Day+Year)

Again, reduce this number further till it is a number between 1-9

1+9=10

1+0=1

This would give you a Life Path Number of 1.

The only time you would not reduce the numbers down is if you get a 11, 22 or 33 at any step along the way. This is because these are known as Master or Power Numbers.

For example, my birthdate is 29th December 1988

Month: 1+2=3

Day: 2+9= 11 (This is a Master number so it doesn’t need to be reduced to a single digit)

Year: 1+9+8+8=26

2+6=8

If I add these together 3+11+8=22

My Life Path Number would be 22. (Again, this number does not have to be reduced to a single digit as it is a Master Number).

 

Here is what your Life Path Number Means:
