Life Path Numbers
Your life path number is the most important number in numerology. It comes from your birth date and describes your core strengths, challenges, and life direction. Add every digit of your birth date and reduce it to a single digit — unless you land on a master number (11, 22, or 33).

How to calculate your life path number
How do you calculate your life path number?
Add every digit of your full birth date — month, day, and year — then reduce the sum to a single digit, unless it is a master number 11, 22, or 33. Example: 1990-11-29 → 1+9+9+0+1+1+2+9 = 32 → 3+2 = 5.
