What Your Life Path Reveals
The Life Path number is the most important number in your numerology chart. You get it by adding all digits of your full birth date and reducing to a single digit (1–9) or master number (11, 22, 33). It describes the main thread of your life — your core character, the kind of challenges you'll meet, and the lessons that keep returning until you master them.

How to Calculate Yours
Add every digit of your birth date (day + month + year) together, then reduce to a single digit. Example: 15 March 1990 → 1+5+0+3+1+9+9+0 = 28 → 2+8 = 10 → 1+0 = 1. Stop reduction if you reach 11, 22, or 33 — those are master numbers and stay unreduced. Your Life Path sets the foundation for reading every other number in your chart.
