How can you calculate your life path number?
Add the digits of your birth date and reduce to a single digit, keeping master numbers 11, 22, or 33 when they appear.
Step by step method
- Write your birth date in numbers.
- Add all digits together.
- Reduce the total to one digit unless it is 11, 22, or 33.
Example calculation
Birth date: July 28, 1991 = 07 28 1991
Add digits: 0 + 7 + 2 + 8 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 1 = 37
Reduce: 3 + 7 = 10, then 1 + 0 = 1. Life Path is 1.
Why reduction matters
Reduction reveals the core vibration. Master numbers are kept because they carry a stronger form of the base number.
