To determine your life path number, you need to calculate it from your full date of birth. The life path number is considered one of the most important and influential numbers within your entire numerology chart. The life path number is calculated by adding up the digits in your birthdate, then reducing the sum to a single digit or a master number (11, 22, or 33) . For example, if your birthday is November 2, 1998, or 11/2/1998, you would add 1+1+2+1+9+9+8 = 31. Then keep adding until you get a single digit: In this case, 3+1 = a life-path number of 4. If your initial calculation comes to 11, 22, or 33, you’ve got yourself a master number. The life path number is said to determine your true essence and your lifes mission. There are 12 possible life path numbers, and each has a different meaning.
