Life Path Number: How to Calculate It and What Each Number Means

Your life path number is drawn from your full date of birth and is the most important number in numerology. It points to the themes and lessons that run through your life.

How to calculate it

Add every digit of your birth date, then reduce the total to a single digit, keeping the master numbers 11, 22 and 33. For 14 February 1990: 1+4+2+1+9+9+0 = 26, and 2+6 = 8, so the life path number is 8.

Each number carries its own character, from the independent 1 to the compassionate 9. The life path is read alongside your destiny and soul urge numbers for a fuller picture.
