Life path: the number that tells who you are
The life path number is the core number in numerology: it is calculated from your full birth date and describes the central lesson, the strengths and the challenges you came into the world with.
How do you calculate a life path number?
Add the day, month and year of the birth date (each reduced to a single digit), then reduce the sum to a single digit. If you reach 11, 22 or 33 along the way, stop: those are master numbers and are not reduced.
Example: someone born on October 4, 1988. Day 4, month 10 → 1, year 1988 → 1+9+8+8 = 26 → 8. 4 + 1 + 8 = 13 → life path 4.
