What is a life path number?
In numerology the life path number is the most important number in your chart. It is worked out from your full date of birth and is said to describe your natural strengths and the main lessons of your life.
How it is calculated
Reduce your birth month, birth day and birth year each to a single digit, add the three together, then reduce again. The master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are not reduced further.
Example: 17 May 1990. May is 5. The day 17 gives 1 + 7 = 8. The year 1990 gives 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19, then 1 + 0 = 1. Total 5 + 8 + 1 = 14, then 1 + 4 = 5. The life path number is 5.
