Life Path Numbers 1–9 — What Yours Means
In numerology, your Life Path number is the single most important number in your profile. Derived from your full date of birth, it reveals your core purpose, natural strengths, and the lessons you’re here to learn.
How to Calculate Your Life Path Number
Reduce each part of your birthday to a single digit, then add them together:
Example: March 15, 1990 - Month: 3 - Day: 1 + 5 = 6 - Year: 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19 → 1 + 9 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1 - Total: 3 + 6 + 1 = 10 → 1 + 0 = Life Path 1
If at any step you reach 11, 22, or 33, stop — those are Master Numbers.
