The meaning of your Life Path
Select your number to discover your numerology profile — or calculate it for free if you don't know it yet.
Let me say it right away: your life path number doesn't tell the whole story about you. Like your zodiac sign, it sheds light on a few facets of who you are, but important ones: your talents, your challenges, and the road where you'll thrive the most.
And the good news is that you can calculate it in two minutes, pencil in hand. So, what's yours, and what does it teach you?
✦
All you need is your date of birth, nothing else.
Step 1
Write your date of birth in digits: month, day, year.
Step 2
Add up all of its digits, one by one.
Step 3
Reduce the total by adding its digits together until you get a single number from 1 to 9.
Exception: if you land on 11, 22 or 33, you stop there.
Example: Catherine, born on 03/17/1987: 0 + 3 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 7 = 36, then 3 + 6 = 9. Her life path number is 9.
But what if your total were 29? You reduce it: 2 + 9 = 11, and you stop right there.
✦
These are the master numbers: in numerology, they carry a special power and energy. Together, they represent the three phases of creation.
11, the visionary
The phase of vision: the one who sees what others don't see yet.
22, the builder
The phase of construction: the one who builds what the vision has sketched out.
33, the giver
The phase of sharing: the one who passes it on. More on the master numbers

No. Like your zodiac sign, it sheds light on a few important facets of you and your life, not all of them. It's by combining it with the rest that the portrait comes together.
Add its digits together, and repeat until you get a number from 1 to 9. A total of 36 gives 3 + 6 = 9. The only exception: 11, 22 and 33, where you stop.
