If Astrology is the map of the sky, Numerology is the code of the universe. At the core of Pythagorean numerology is the Life Path Number—a single digit that reveals your soul's primary mission.
Think of your Life Path Number as your factory setting. It describes the nature of the journey you are here to take, the challenges you will face, and the innate skills you possess to overcome them.
How to Calculate It
It's simple math, but it requires precision. Take your full birth date (e.g., October 15, 1990) and reduce it to a single digit.
- Month: Oct is 10. 1 + 0 = 1.
- Day: 15. 1 + 5 = 6.
- Year: 1990. 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19. 1 + 9 = 10. 1 + 0 = 1.
- Sum: 1 + 6 + 1 = 8.
In this example, the Life Path Number is 8.
