Life path number: one sum, your whole date.

Your life path is the best known number in numerology. It comes from one thing only: your birth date. No name, no birth time. Enter your date and see it at once, with the sum.

Pick your birth date. Your number shows at once, no account.

The math, in three steps

1. Reduce the month, the day and the year one by one: add the digits until one digit is left. 2. Add the three results. 3. Reduce again.

One exception: if you land on 11, 22 or 33, you stop. These are the master numbers, and they are kept as they are.

Example: Taylor Swift is a 7

Taylor Swift was born on 13 December 1989. Month: 12 gives 1 + 2 = 3. Day: 13 gives 1 + 3 = 4. Year: 1 + 9 + 8 + 9 = 27, then 2 + 7 = 9.

3 + 4 + 9 = 16, and 1 + 6 = 7. The 7 is the searcher, the one who needs quiet time to go deep. Not a bad match for someone who writes her albums like diaries.

Another one: Steve Jobs, 24 February 1955. 2 + 6 + 2 = 10, and 1 + 0 = 1. The starter, the one who goes first.

What it tells you, and what it does not

The life path gives a direction: the kind of road that suits you over a whole life. It does not give dates.

For timing, numerology uses the personal year, a number that changes on every birthday. That one, with your personal month and day, is in the AstroNum app.

Questions

How do I calculate my life path number?

Reduce your birth month, day and year to one digit each, add the three, and reduce the total. Keep 11, 22 and 33 as they are. Example: 13 December 1989 gives 3 + 4 + 9 = 16, then 1 + 6 = 7.

What are the master numbers?

11, 22 and 33. They are not reduced. They read like a 2, a 4 and a 6 with more intensity.

Is the life path the same as my zodiac sign?

No. Your sign comes from where the Sun was in the sky on your birthday. Your life path comes from the digits of your birth date. Two different tools from the same date.
