You are unsure of your number

?

The calculation of your life path is simple, it involves reducing your personal numbers in your date of birth to one single figure between 1 and 9. To figure yours out, add up the day, month, and year of your birth and then reduce it to a number between 1 and 9.

How to calculate your life path number - For example;

Catherine, born on : 03/17/1987 = 1+7+3+1+9+8+7 = 36 = 3+6 = 9

Catherine is therefore life path 9

The exceptions are 11, 22, and 33 which in numerology are considered "master numbers". Most two-digit numbers are not important in numerology. The 11, 22, and 33 are important and special because they have a special power and energy. Together they represent the 3 phases of creation: vision, construction, and sharing. The 11 is the visionary, the 22 the builder, and the 33 the sharer, the giver.

 💡 FAQ 💡 ▼

What is my life path number?

Calculated from your birthdate, your life path number is one of the most important features in Numerology. It is the path that your birthdate predestines you to take. It essentially tells you what difficulties await you during your life and how to overcome or bypass them. This concept gives an important indication of the direction that any individual will be strongly encouraged - it is a major vibration - to give to his or her life path, particularly in terms of life and professional choices.

Sometimes called the destiny Number, the path of life is the road you must follow to reach fulfillment (personal and professional), spiritual balance, and happiness. It reveals the mission you have to accomplish in this life and how to get there.

 💡 FAQ 💡 ▼

What can your life path number teach you?

Beyond shedding light on the path that will be most fulfilling for you, your life path can also reveal the useful skills you possess. Often we don't really know what is hidden deep inside us, but by discovering your talent(s) you will gain confidence and self-assurance. On the other hand, the life path also sheds light on aspects that you need to improve, channel, or learn to balance in order to keep moving forward as serenely as possible.

In short, it's a number that reveals your personality. Your life path allows you to enlighten yourself, to tend towards this or that path, and to progress by being more in tune with yourself. Indeed, this number represents the traits and qualities you were born with and the path you will surely take. It is therefore possible that once you have calculated your life path, you will discover some facets of your personality that will allow you to develop qualities and potentialities that you did not suspect.

Life number 1: Individuality 

"If I were an astrological sign, I would be Aries!"

The traveler of life path 1 is a very active, enthusiastic, and ambitious person and has a very assertive natural authority. This path leads to accomplishment and surpassing oneself, but not without effort. A true leader, this traveler knows how to assume their responsibilities, and can always be counted on!

  • Characteristics: individuality, independent, ambitious, ability to command, quick-witted, self-reliant, proud, impatient, impulsive, thinks too much of being right, voluntary, and creative.
  • Challenges: to be attentive to one's character, not to fall into conformity, to spend the excess energy to find serenity.

Life number 2: Cooperation

"If I were an astrological sign, I would be Libra!"

The life path 2 traveler is a very sociable, diplomatic, and pleasant person. A bit moody around the edges, this traveler can change moods quickly! Their desire to always take care of others can lead them to forget themselves completely and sometimes become too clingy to those around them. Generally speaking, he will fear loneliness and will be very affected if he does not find a partner.

  • Characteristics: sociable, affectionate, balanced, gentle, peaceful, very good companion, naive, lazy, and moody.
  • Challenges: overcoming shyness and susceptibility, not falling into emotional dependence, and gaining self-confidence.

Life number 3: Self-expression

"If I were an astrological sign, I would be Leo!

Life Path 3 is about expression, lightness, and dynamism. Beauty seems to be very important for this colorful traveler. A lot of harmony and joy emanate from his personality, which allows them to feel very comfortable in society, even if it means becoming somewhat superficial.

  • Characteristics: cheerful, colorful, outgoing, creative, enthusiastic, generous, oratory skills, aesthetic sense, superficial, not serious, self-centered, carefree.
  • Challenges: more investment in what he undertakes, knowing how to become serious when it is necessary, not to fall into disillusionment.

Life number 4: Discipline

"If I were an astrological sign, I would be Virgo!"

Life path 4 reigns in stability, honesty, and reliability. With a traveler of this life number, nothing is left to chance. Everything seems planned and predictable, but it is also the path of those who do not like to be shaken in their daily life, in their habits, and in their routine.

  • Characteristics: hardworking, organized, structured, very good at planning, reliable, patient, logical, pragmatic, honest, loyal, stubborn, and intolerant.
  • Challenges: to be able to let go, to spice up their monotonous life, to be more subtle.

Life number 5: Freedom (Change)

"If I were an astrological sign, I would be Taurus!"

If path 5 were a road, it would be full of pitfalls, unexpected events, dangers, adventures, and surprises. The traveler of 5 goes on the way of all experiences, of the discovery of their 5 senses, of changes, but also of freedom, curiosity, audacity, and courage.

  • Characteristics: easily adaptable, freedom-loving, epicurean, extroverted, magnetic, charming, ambitious, combative, daring, open-minded, always ready to experiment, lack of stability, lack of commitment, fickle, and impulsive.
  • Challenges: learn to control your desires, learn to settle down, and invest more in your projects.

Life number 6: Responsibility (Service)

"If I were an astrological sign, I would be Pisces!"

The life path 6 traveler is a sensitive, sincere person who is very committed to their responsibilities. They are very helpful and like to take care of others (sometimes too much), to the point of making them forget themselves completely. They can also be very emotional, as they need so much love and recognition from others that they can be dissatisfied.

  • Characteristics: responsible, mothering, sensitive, sincere, committed, good counselor, emotional, hates mediocrity, lacks ambition, and hates conflict.
  • Challenges: to learn to assert oneself and make decisions for oneself, and to feel less guilty.

Number of life 7: Wisdom (Detachment)

"If I were an astrological sign, I would be Capricorn!"

Imagine the road of wisdom, of spirituality that leads to the deep world and inner wealth, and you will get the life path 7! 7 is therefore that of the thinker, the philosopher, in search of an existential quest. This also implies, at times, a road of solitude, of stripping away, to better reveal oneself.

  • Characteristics: intelligent, quick-witted, wise, curious, thoughtful, perfectionist of knowledge, very intuitive, mystical, not very talkative, introverted, likes solitude, sometimes hard on others, and cynical, distant.
  • Challenges: learn to open up to others, give more human warmth, and reconcile feelings with intellect.

Life number 8: Authority (Power)

"If I were an astrological sign, I would be Scorpio!"

Life path 8 is the road of ambition, of audacity, where everything goes very fast (sometimes too fast). People belonging to 8 are not only skillful, determined, and assertive, but also authoritarian and eager to succeed. A true personality rich in emotions, the (big) 8 alternates between strong sensations and moments of calm and tranquility.

  • Characteristics: ambitious, determined, courageous, willing, powerful, active, great strength of character, generous, affectionate, tough, authoritarian, abusive, and even tyrannical.
  • Challenges: not abusing their thirst for power, and learning to moderate their powerful emotions.

Life number 9: Altruism (Compassion)

"If I were an astrological sign, I would be Sagittarius!"

A life of progress and acquisitions, of success, of great changes, awaits life path 9. The path of this native can also be an eventful one, and emotions can become overwhelming. 9 leans toward helpfulness and turns to the human, to others, in boundless generosity and benevolence.

  • Characteristics: intuitive, intelligent, educated, considerate, generous, understanding, tolerant, loves to travel, overly introverted, utopian, and realistic.
  • Challenges: Protecting oneself from one's emotions and learning to express them, need for balance and moderation.

Life number 11: Revelation

"If I were an astrological sign, I would be Aquarius!"

Life path 11 carries intuitive, charismatic, and visionary natives. They are passionate about discoveries, inventions, and great works. This personality coming from a Master number will be both idealistic and Cartesian, both ambitious and realistic, and also dreamy and pragmatic. However, it can be difficult to live with because of its angry and depressive character.

  • Characteristics: superiorly intelligent, inspiring, curious, very high idealism, spiritual gifts, excellent intuition, tense, impatient, selfish, difficult to live with, angry, and depressive.
  • Challenges: not to feel superior to others, not to impose one's will, to pass on one's knowledge and skills.

Life number 22: Sacred structuring

"If I were an astrological sign, I would be Gemini!"

For Life Path 22, instead of a simple road, imagine a Formula 1 racetrack, a track to go fast and surpass yourself. This is the path of large-scale projects, construction, of creativity, which serve a city, a country, and even the world. A perfect combination of 11 and 4, natives prove to be honest, and open-minded, but can also be overly assertive or lazy.

  • Characteristics: highly intelligent, great energy, honest, sincere, stable, great practicality, forward-thinking, realistic, vain, nervous, lazy, and sometimes impossible to live with.
  • Challenges: to acquire a certain maturity, to remain balanced and stable, and not to use his gifts too much for personal purposes.

Life number 33: Universal service

"If I were an astrological sign, I would be Cancer!"

This life path is one of great responsibility and great opportunity to advance humanity. The 33s enlighten consciousness, to help others, and to bring their light to the human being. They demonstrate enormous natural abilities, but their emotional overload can make it difficult for them to accomplish their task here on earth.

  • Characteristics: compassionate, good counselor (psychic and spiritual), super-powerful intuition, tolerant, emotional, acts for the universal welfare, cosmic guardian of this world (watches over all others), energetic, rebellious, intolerant, critical, over-protective, and not responsible enough.
  • Challenges: learn to manage your powerful emotions, develop your skills, and don't use your gifts too much for personal purposes.

How do you calculate life path number by name?

Calculating your life path in numerology is mainly based on your date of birth, rather than your first name. The life path is one of the key aspects of numerology and represents the path you are meant to follow in this life. However, if you're interested in the numerological significance of your first name, you can assign numerical values to each letter of your first name (according to certain numerology methods) and add them together to obtain a number that can then be interpreted.

Here's a simplified example of how to calculate your life path from your date of birth:

  • Divide your date of birth into day, month, and year.
  • Add up the numbers for the day of your birth.
  • Add up the numbers for the month of your birth.
  • Add your year of birth.
  • Add the three results obtained above.
  • Then reduce this number to a figure between 1 and 9, continuing to add up the digits. For example, if you get a total of 15, you would add 1 + 5 to get a life path of 6.

Susan Taylor’s insights: Pay attention to the numbers

Your life path is calculated from the date of birth and represents the vibration of your personality. This number is even one of the pillars of your life itself, since it carries your life mission on earth. However, it does not constitute a being in its totality and does not pretend to summarize it! For each one of us has a multitude of subtle and evolving facets - which can also be studied thanks to numerology - that make us unique beings.

If you want to be successful in love, figure out your number and compare it with your partner's.

Natives of 8, you possess fine moral values, and are above all a person of principle.

Numerological Life Path #7

Natives of this numerology life path aren't exactly renowned for their love of romance. As deep thinkers, they prefer pursuing sedentary lifestyles and accept their emotional "passivity". They enjoy spending time alone and focusing on the logical flow of their ideas rather than on socializing. ❤️ People of life path 7 aren't compatible with everyone in love, but they do get on very well with 4 and 9. Find out why their connection is so strong here and learn more about their prospects when it comes to relationships.

Numerological Life Path #6

6 is a path associated with love, marriage, and family. It symbolizes a life of responsibility, positive vibrations, balance, and sentimental harmony. ❤️ Indeed, 6 is the number of the head of the family, and natives of this path accept the responsibilities that go with it. The most important thing in their eyes is their family.

Numerological Life Path #4

Natives of life path 4, you hate futile and fleeting relationships, for you, love is about deep and sincere feelings. Loyal and faithful, you are capable of loving with passion, but your introverted nature prevents you from expressing your feelings. ❤️ What you seek above all are sincerity and stability. You can be a little stubborn and are sometimes rigid with rules... Yet, you are also very down-to-earth and seek to build a stable future. Despite your good intentions, you aren't a good match for everyone! Yet, your compatibility reveals that people with life paths 6 and 7 have what it takes to seduce you!

Numerological Life Path #3

Life path 3 is characterized by their bubbly personality, unfailing enthusiasm, and fantastic sense of humor. If we had to sum up these natives in two words, we would instantly describe them as sociable and creative. ❤️ They express themselves brilliantly in the arts or manual activities and have a great capacity when it comes to adapting to new situations. In love, not everyone gets along like a house of fire and manages to form the perfect couple. Life path 3 for instance is most compatible with 6 or 8; so discover the reasons why, plus, find out whom they should avoid.

Life Path 1 Compatibility

The natives of life path 1 are particularly ambitious and persevering beings. They are independent, organized, and leaders by nature. In order to feel fulfilled, they need to feel admired and respected by their partner. ❤️ Although they have strong egos, they are creative and attract people with their natural charisma. People belonging to numerology number 1 are definitely most compatible with life paths 3, 5, or 6, or 2, but why is that the case? Charlotte Davis reveals why they make such good matches!
