Build Your Numerology Chart Pt 1: How to Calculate Your Life Path Number
A 15-Part Series on Building Your Own Numerology Chart
Numerology is an ancient system that reveals deep insights about who we are, where we’re headed, and the lessons we’re meant to learn. It’s a tool for self-discovery, offering guidance on life’s purpose, strengths, and challenges.
This post is the first in a 15 part series where I’ll walk you through how to calculate all the key numbers in numerology—helping you build your own complete numerology chart step by step.
Today, we begin with the foundation of numerology: Your Life Path Number.
What is a Life Path Number?
Your Life Path Number is the most important number in numerology. It represents the overarching themes of your life—your natural strengths, challenges, and the journey your soul has chosen for this lifetime.
Think of it as your soul’s blueprint—the path you walk, the lessons you’ll encounter, and the purpose you’re here to fulfill.
How to Calculate Your Life Path Number
All you need is your full birthdate.
Step 1: Write out your full birthdate in this format: MM / DD / YYYY
Step 2: Reduce each section (month, day, year) to a single digit.
Step 3: Add all the digits together and keep reducing until you reach a single digit or a Master Number (11, 22, 33).
Example Calculation
Let’s say you were born on July 15, 1992.
Month: July = 7
Day: 15 → 1 + 5 = 6
Year: 1992 → 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 21 → 2 + 1 = 3
Final Sum: 7 + 6 + 3 = 16 → 1 + 6 = 7
Life Path Number = 7
If your final number is 11, 22, or 33, don’t reduce it further—these are Master Numbers, carrying a higher level of spiritual purpose.
