How to calculate your Life Path number
Reduce the month, day and year of your birth to single digits separately, then add them and reduce again. Master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are kept, not reduced.
Example: 14 July 1998
- Month: 7 → 7
- Day: 14 → 1 + 4 = 5
- Year: 1998 → 1 + 9 + 9 + 8 = 27 → 2 + 7 = 9
- Total: 7 + 5 + 9 = 21 → 2 + 1 = 3
