How to Calculate the Life Path Number

Being with your birthdate.

For example, if you were born on March 9th, 1985, the date and month reduced would give you the numbers 3 for March and 9 for the day.

(If your month or day is a 2 digit number add both numbers together until you have a single number.) Example: December, 22nd.

• December: 12th month, 1+2 = 3
• 22nd: 2+2=4

When it comes to the year, you’d add 1 + 9 + 8 + 5, which would give you the number 23.

Then, add 2 + 3, which would give you 5.

At this point, you’d have three single-digit numbers (one for the date, one for the month, and one for the year): 9, 3, and 5.

You would then add these three numbers together until you have just one single-digit number left.

In this example case, 9 + 3 + 5 would give you 17.

Then, 1 + 7 would give you 8 your life path number.
