Life Path Number
Your Life Path Number is derived from your FULL BIRTH DATE, and is considered the most important and influential number in your Numerology Chart. Life Path Number describes the nature of your life journey, the road you are traveling. It describes your traits and who you are at birth, and outlines the opportunities, challenges, and lessons you will encounter in this lifetime.

How To Calculate Your Life Path Number
i] Take your date of birth, and separately reduce each; your MONTH, DAY, and YEAR to a single digit value.
Using February 27, 1976 as an example ...
February = 2
27 = 9
1976 = 23 = 5
ii] Add these 3 separate numbers to get your Life path number
2 + 9 + 5 = 16
iii] Sometimes you will need to reduce the number once again to get your final single digit base value
1 + 6 = 7
In such cases your Life Path Number is often written as 16/7 to indicate the higher double digit vibration from which your Life Path Number 7 was derived from.
Note: Any time you encounter a Master Number (11, 22, or 33) in your calculation, DO NOT reduce it any further.
Master Numbers
Master Numbers 11, 22, and 33 are not to be reduced anytime they are found within the calculation, but are still written as 11/2, 22/4, and 33/6, just like any other Life Path Number would be to indicate both the single digit base number, as well as the double digit vibration from which that base number was derived from ... 16/7 for example 🙂
You will find that there are a few variations on how some people, and websites, calculate your Life Path Number. Most of the time, the results will be the same, however, when we come to the point of determining the double digit vibration for your Life Path Number, there are differences depending on the method of calculation used. This often results in questioning not only whether or not you might have a Master Number, but also several other numbers within your Numerology Chart, such as whether or not your Life Path also carries Karmic Debt .
Example Calculation
Date of Birth = July 29, 1964 = 7/29/1964[i] Pythagorean or 3 Cycle Method
Month = 7
Day = 29 = 11
Year = 1964 = 20 = 2
7 + 11 + 2 = 20/2
[ii] Straight Accross Addition
7 + 2 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 4 = 38 = 11/2
[iii] Other Methods
7 + 29 + 1964 = 2000 = 2
Furthermore the Pythagorean Method is stricter and more selective in determining whether or not someone falls into the category of a Master Number, giving us a more realistic and even distribution of Master Numbers regardless of decades or centuries, the other methods do not.

Each aspect of your Numerology Chart is defined by a number ranging from 1 to 9. Your Life Path Number, although most influential, is but one of over 25 Numbers that together form your entire Numerology Chart, essentially providing us with a Numerology “blueprint” of YOU.
A Balance Chart can be used to visualize this blueprint, allowing us to better see which of the numbers 1 to 9 are more prevalent and dominant within your chart. This can often be helpful in explaining why some people don’t always relate to a definition of their Life Path Number, or perhaps the meaning behind their Expression and Heart’s Desire Numbers.
Additionally, because this blueprint is based on many different aspects of your Numerology Chart, it is very unlikely to meet a person with the same exact blueprint as yours.

Is my life path number 11 or 2. Different websites give me different answers. My birthday is August 15th 1995. I just want to be able to learn about my correct life path number.
August = 8
15 = 6
1995 = 24 = 6
Your life path number = 8 + 6 + 6 = 20/2
People tend to think about what we call master numbers as somehow special. In truth, both 11/2 and 20/2 are both 2s, with the only difference between them being the higher double digit vibration from which the 2 was derived from. In your case it is a 20 instead of an 11 : )
I should add that 11/2 is mathematically much more easier to get from out birth dates than 20/2
I'm not sure about the year as I dont have that I only know the birth year which is 1988 the rest I added up....and now I'm it....lol... dont seem to comprehend how to find this from the name.... thank you
Hi can you tell me about my life path? 22 or 4 ? 9/4/89 and compatibility with 5/15/82? 8/5/73 ?
Hi Kay,
For your Life Path Number you need to reduce your year 1989 to a single digit value 1989 = 27 = 9, then add up 9 + 4 + 9 = 22/4 ... meaning your Life Path number is 4 with master number 22 being your double digit higher vibration. The Life Path Calculator at the beginning of this page does all the work for you : )

If I have 2 master numbers in my month and day do I add them or not?
My birthday is
11/11/1991
Hi Jarica, keep the master numbers as they are, reduce your year down and then add them up together...
11 + 11 + 2 = 24/6
Hi can you let me know if i have accurately worked these out and if not can you correct me please.
Thanks

Hi Charlotte : ) You can use the Life Path Number Calculator on this page, or even the landing page - https://seventhlifepath.com ... it does show you the calculation as well. There are some numbers just scrolling through that should not be, like 02/02/2023 = 92/11/2 not sure how you'd get the 92.
Also noticed since the Life Path Calculator doesn't include future years you can use 2004 instead of 2022, and 2005 instead of 2023 ... they will give you the same results.
Anyway, have fun ; )
My birthday is March 10, 1971.
So am I a 4 or a 22?
Hi Tara,
march = 3
10 = 1
1971 18 = 9
Your life Path = 3 + 1 + 9 = 13/4 not 22/4
Why is it that the 18 is broken down further before being added to the other numbers(3 and 1)? It seems out of order to me.
I personally prefer to add all digits all at the same time in order to avoid further confusion. Point is that ALL numbers are essentially being added to help generate one(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)/two-digit(11,22,33) number.
Hi Paula, If you are talking about just adding all the numbers straight across instead of reducing any of them first, because it is easier to just get your final single digit number, then you are correct ... regardless of how you add the numbers up you will ALWAYS end up with the same SINGLE digit value. However, what does change depending on the method used are the Double digit numbers from which your single number is derived from, and this includes Master Numbers as well as other numbers like Karmic Debt for example. So it is really up to you to decide which method you like to use and stick with it. Over the years I've looked at all of them and came to the realization that at this point in time, the Pythagorean (3 cycle) method is the best of them : ) Among the main reasons ... It recognizes Master Numbers within the calculation, gives consistent results across all date ranges, and ties in with the way the rest of the numbers within our numerology chart are calculated, and that is why it is considered more accurate and is used by most professional numerologists.
One thing to have you ponder about the straight across simple addition, since we are now in the year 2000's it is very difficult to come up with a sum that equals 33 .. I believe the first such year would be Sept 29, 2029 = 9 + 2 + 9 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 9 = 33/6 ... and you can correct me if I'm wrong as i just quickly did the math, but either way before the end of the century we were dealing with large year numbers 1789, 1986, 1999 for example, there was always a means of getting 33 much more frequently to the point where the master numbers were actually not rare at all if using this simple method. You can do some math on paper and go over some stats if you'd like to delve deeper into it, but fair warning ... if you do, you will then have to switch over the the 3 cycle method just like i did : )
