Find your Life Path number
Numerology gives each number a meaning, then reads the numbers in your birth date and name. The most important one is your Life Path. It takes about a minute to work out, and this guide shows you how.
Ever feel like you're living someone else's life?
Sometimes you're playing a role that just doesn't fit. Numerology goes back to ideas linked to Pythagoras, who believed numbers sat underneath everything.
Today, many people use their Life Path as a prompt for reflection: does this sound like me, and where have I been ignoring it?

- 2
Add them all together
7 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 32.

Questions you might have
What is numerology?
Numerology is the study of the mystical significance of numbers in your life. By calculating numbers from your birth date and name, numerology is used to reflect on your life purpose, personality, talents and challenges. The most important number is your Life Path, derived from your complete birth date.
How do I calculate my Life Path number?
Add all digits of your birth date until you get a single digit (1-9) or Master Number (11, 22, 33). Example: July 15, 1990 = 7+1+5+1+9+9+0 = 32 = 3+2 = 5. Your Life Path is 5. Don't reduce Master Numbers.
What are Master Numbers?
Master Numbers 11, 22, and 33 are not reduced to single digits because they carry intensified spiritual potential. 11 is the Intuitive Visionary, 22 is the Master Builder, and 33 is the Master Teacher. These numbers bring great gifts alongside greater challenges.
