Numerology: the life path

The life path is computed by summing the digits of your birth date and describes the central archetype of your journey. Here is the method and the meaning of each number, with sources.

How it is calculated

The Life Path Number is calculated from the full birth date: add all the digits of the day, month, and year, then keep reducing the result by adding its digits until you reach a number from 1 to 9. The exceptions are 11, 22, and 33: if they appear in the reduction, they are kept as master numbers without reducing. It is the central number of Pythagorean numerology and is read as the background tone of a life: a set of symbolic tendencies and lessons, never a fixed script.
