Your life path number, also known as the life lesson or maturity number, is a key element of numerology and is calculated based on your birth date. It's believed to have the heaviest influence on an individual's life. It represents your unique life journey and can provide insight into your personality, strengths, and challenges.
Calculate your life path number
- Begin by reducing each individual number in your birth date to a single digit. For example, if your birth date is July 10th, 1992, you would start by reducing the month (7), day (1), and year (1992) to single digits.
- Next, add the resulting single digits together to get a final number. In this example, the final number would be 7 + 1 + 2 = 10; 1+ 0 = 1.
- If the final number is a two-digit master number, do not reduce it further. These are are considered especially powerful in numerology. They can be difficult to weild, but often indicate great potential.
