Calculating your Life Path Number

Each unit of the birth date, month, date, and year, must be computed and reduced to a single digit. For example, if you were born on December 1, 1976, you would calculate your Life Path as follows:

Month:

December is the 12th month of the year. 12 reduces to 3 (1 + 2 = 3).

Day:

The date of the 1st requires no calculation.

• Note for example however, that if the date of birth was say, the 18th, those digits would need to be reduced as well. 18 reduces to 9 (1 + 8 = 9).

Year:

The year of birth is 1976. 1976 reduces to 5 (1 + 9 + 7 + 6 = 23, then 2 + 3 = 5 ).

Now add the resulting single-digit numbers: 3 + 1 + 5 = 9.

The Life Path number in this case is 9.

• If you end up with a double-digit number, simply add those numbers together to obtain a single-digit number.
• For example, if you end up with 15, you would add 1 + 5 to get to 6.

Number 1

Number 1’s possess an independent, individualistic nature, showing great skills for success and leadership, described by some sources as masculine. Qualities associated with 1’s are strong focus, originality and they are known to be self-starters. They are generally regarded as willful, facing challenges with courage and willingness to go against the mainstream when for a good cause.

On the negative side some 1’s are seen as stubborn and selfish, and contrary to the above description, may seem even weak-willed. 

Number 2

Number 2’s are generally known for traditionally feminine qualities of kindness and courtesy, often regarded as peacemakers, with a gentle and loving nature. The 2’s may be musically inclined and good scholars, and may be quite sensual and intuitive.

The more challenging characteristics of the 2’s are an inclination to laziness or carelessness, as well as spoiled, and may not always be truthful but may be overly sensitive if criticized.

Number 3

The 3’s are rich in imagination and creativity, and can be great communicators, which often places them in a position of inspiring others, manifesting joviality, rich talent, and tolerance. They are generally charismatic.

Interestingly, their challenging characteristics pose a strong contrast, as they may appear demanding, frequently taking a negative view of things and are prone to intolerance, hypocrisy, and even superficiality.

Number 4

The 4’s are the perfect examples of dependability, characterized by their hard work and steadfast work ethic, and are methodical, precise and exacting, and are recognized for their devotion, patriotism and trustworthiness.

Negatively the same qualities described above can do them a disservice in relationships and friendships since they are considered often to be boring company, having little skill or interest in socialization, so there may be a lack of emotion, warmth, or imagination. It is also noted that the 4’s may be neglectful in their physical appearance.

Number 5

The 5’s are characterized by an adventurous spirit and high energy. They cherish their freedom and jump into life with both feet with an ability to adapt with great versatility to almost any circumstance due to their inherent curiosity and quick thinking as well as a notable degree of courage in new situations.

What the 5’s are challenged by in their willingness to jump into any situation, is an inclination to be self-indulgent with a carelessness that puts the 5’s in some very unfortunate or even unhealthy circumstances, including addictive behaviors or hazardous sexual exploits.

Number 8

The 8’s have a commanding presence that gives them a propensity toward positions of power. They seek control and usually manage that successfully, but are realistic, typically materially detached, successful, and balanced in their thinking.
