Reduce your date of birth to a Life Path number, with master numbers preserved if you want them.
Understanding the life path calculation
Numerology assigns each letter a number from one to nine and reduces dates the same way. The Life Path comes from the date of birth, reduced month, day and year separately before summing — which is the step most quick calculations get wrong.
The name-based numbers use the Pythagorean system: Expression from every letter, Soul Urge from the vowels, Personality from the consonants. Master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are traditionally left unreduced, and you can toggle that here.
Using the calculator
- Enter your full name as it appears on your birth certificate.
- Enter your date of birth.
- Choose whether to preserve master numbers.
The maths behind it
Worked example
Take the starting scenario, a full birth name of Jane Alexandra Smith, keep master numbers (11, 22, 33)? of Yes. That gives a life Path number of 9. Underneath, Meaning comes out at Humanitarian, idealistic, giving and Expression / Destiny at 8 (from 71). Change any field and every figure updates as you type.
