How to calculate life path number

The steps

In numerology the life path number comes from the birth date. Write out the digits of the year, month, and day and add them all. If the total has two or more digits, add its digits again, and repeat until one digit remains.

Stop at 11, 22, and 33

If a total comes out as 11, 22, or 33, it is not reduced further. These three are called master numbers, and by convention 11 is not turned into 1+1=2.

Two worked dates

Take May 14, 1990. The digits are 1, 9, 9, 0, 0, 5, 1, 4 and they add up to 29. Adding 2+9 gives 11, which is a master number, so the life path number is 11.

Take March 27, 1985. The digits 1+9+8+5+0+3+2+7 add up to 35, and 3+5 is 8, so the life path number is 8. To check your own, add the digits a second time and see that you get the same value.
