Life Path Number Meanings

Your Life Path Number is the most important number in your numerology chart. Discover what your number says about your destiny, personality, and soul's mission.

In my years of studying numerology, I've seen how the Life Path Number acts like a cosmic GPS. While your other numbers (like Destiny or Soul) describe what you do or how you feel, your Life Path Number describes the road you are walking. It is the core blueprint of your soul's journey in this lifetime.

How to Calculate Your Life Path Number

Calculation is simple but requires precision. You must use your full birth date: Month, Day, and Year. The key is to reduce each unit to a single digit before adding them together.

Example: Birthday October 22, 1985

  • Month: October = 10 (1+0 = 1)
  • Day: 22 (This is a Master Number, keep it as 22)
  • Year: 1985 (1+9+8+5 = 23; 2+3 = 5)
  • Sum: 1 + 22 + 5 = 28
  • Final Reduction: 2 + 8 = 10; 1 + 0 = 1
  • Result: Life Path 1
