What is a Life Path number in numerology?

Your Life Path number is calculated by reducing your birth month, birth day, and birth year, then adding and reducing again. Master numbers 11 and 22 are kept when they appear. It describes your core life theme and direction.

How do I calculate my Life Path number?

Add the digits of your birth month, day, and year separately (each reduced to one digit or master 11/22), then add those three results and reduce again. Example: 15 March 1990 → 6 + 6 + 1 = 13 → Life Path 4.

What is the difference between Life Path and personal year?

Life Path is fixed from your full date of birth and describes your overall life journey. Personal year (not shown on this page) changes each birthday-to-birthday cycle.
