Numerology is the study of numbers and their believed influence on personality, timing and life events. One of its most commonly used tools is the Life Path Number, calculated from your full date of birth.
How to calculate your Life Path Number
Add together all the digits of your birth date until you reach a single digit (with 11, 22 and 33 usually kept as 'master numbers' rather than reduced further).
For example, someone born on 24 November 1994 would calculate: 2+4+1+1+1+9+9+4 = 31, then 3+1 = 4. Their Life Path Number would be 4.
What each number is broadly associated with
- 1 - independence, leadership, new beginnings
- 2 - partnership, diplomacy, sensitivity
- 3 - creativity, expression, sociability
- 4 - discipline, structure, practicality
- 5 - change, freedom, adaptability
- 6 - responsibility, family, nurturing
- 7 - introspection, analysis, spirituality
- 8 - ambition, material success, authority
- 9 - compassion, completion, idealism
How this is used in a consultation
A numerologist typically looks at your Life Path Number alongside other calculated numbers - such as your Name Number and Destiny Number - to build a fuller picture, rather than relying on any single number alone.
