Life Path Number Calculator
Discover your life's purpose and destiny by calculating your life path number. This is the most important number in numerology—revealing your natural talents, challenges, and life mission.
What Is Your Life Path Number?
Your life path number is the most significant number in numerology. It's calculated from your complete birth date and reveals the path you're meant to walk through life—your core purpose, natural abilities, and the lessons you're here to learn.
Think of it as your life's blueprint or roadmap. While you have free will to make choices, your life path number describes the general direction and themes that will appear throughout your journey.
Your life path number influences:
- Your natural strengths and talents
- Career paths that align with your purpose
- Relationship patterns and compatibility
- Life challenges you're here to master
- Your unique contribution to the world
How to Calculate Your Life Path Number
There are two methods to calculate your life path number. We use the correct method which preserves master numbers (11, 22, 33).
The Correct Method:
- Reduce the month to a single digit (or master number 11)
- Reduce the day to a single digit (or master number 11, 22)
- Reduce the year to a single digit (or master number 11, 22)
- Add these three results together
- Reduce to a single digit (or master number 11, 22, 33)
Example: December 15, 1990
Understanding Master Numbers
