How It Is Calculated
Your birth date is broken into its three parts — day, month, and year — and each is reduced separately to a single digit. The three reduced digits are then added together and reduced once more.
- Day, month, and year are each reduced independently
- Final digits are summed and reduced again
- Master numbers 11, 22, and 33 are never reduced
- Result is your Life Path number
7 + (1+4) + (1+9+9+0) → 7 + 5 + 19 → 7 + 5 + 10 → 22
