Your Path..
Your Life Path number gives you a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges, and lessons you will encounter in this lifetime. Your Life path is the road you are travelling, and as such, the landscape you experience. It reveals the opportunities and challenges you will face in life.
How to calculate..
Reduce each the month, day and year of your birth date to a single-digit. Then add the 3 resulting digits together and reduce the total again to a single-digit.
Example: October 25, 1962
October is the 10th month. Reduce 10 to a single-digit. 1 + 0 = 1
The day of birth is 25. Reduce 25 to 7 (2 + 5 = 7).
The year of birth is 1962. Reduce 1962 to 1 + 9 + 6 + 2 = 18. 1 + 8 = 9 The year 1962 reduces to 9.
Add together the three resulting single digits.
month = 1 + day = 7 + year = 9. Total is 17. 1+ 7 = 8.
The Life Path number is 8.
You can just add all the numbers together without separating into month, day, year and this is one way to check your calculation. For example 1 + 0 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 2 = 26. Add the double digits together 2 + 6 = 8.
However, if you were to do this, you would lose some important information. In numerology, in addition to the Life Path number as one long theme, the month, day, and year of our birth set the stage/the theme for the beginning, middle and final part of our lives.
The beginning (month number, in this example 1) is when we finding out the nature of our being, the middle period (day number, in this example 7) is about coming to terms with being who we are in the world, and the final part (year number, in this example 9) is the opportunity for bringing our gifts and experience into mature fruition.
