Numerology : Life Path number
The most important number in your Numerology chart is your Life Path number, based on the date of your birth. Your Life Path number reveals a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges and lessons you will encounter during this lifetime.
How to find your Life Path number
First, reduce each unit of your birth date (month/day/year) to a single-digit number or a Master number (Master numbers are 11, 22 and 33). Next, add each of the resulting digits (or Master numbers) together and reduce the total again to a single digit, or a Master number.
For example, if you were born on October 12, 1966, you would calculate your Life Path as follows:
Month: October is the 10th month of the year. 10 reduces to 1 (1 + 0 = 1).
Day: The date of birth is 12. 12 reduces to 3 (1 + 2 = 3).
Year: The year of birth is 1986. 1986 reduces to 1 (1 + 9 + 8 + 6 = 24, then 2 + 4 = 6
Now add the resulting single-digit numbers: 1 + 3 + 6 = 9.
The Life Path number in this case is 9.
