Birthday number and Life Path number
Your birthday number comes from the day alone and describes a talent you were born with. Your Life Path number uses your whole date of birth and describes the broader direction of your life. Most people have two different numbers, and reading them together gives a fuller picture.
Write your date of birth as numbers. For example, 14 July 1990 becomes 14, 7 and 1990.
Add every digit together. 1 + 4 + 7 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 31.
Reduce to a single digit. 3 + 1 = 4. Stop early if you reach 11, 22 or 33, the master numbers.
