How to quickly calculate your life path?
Step by Step Calculation Method
Calculate Your Life Path
Durée estimée : 2 min
Write down your complete birth date in day/month/year format. For example: March 15, 1990 is written as 15/03/1990.
Add each digit individually: 1+5+0+3+1+9+9+0 = 28. Don't group numbers, treat each digit separately.
If the total is greater than 9 (except 11, 22, 33), continue reducing: 28 → 2+8 = 10, then 10 → 1+0 = 1.
If you get 11, 22, or 33 at an intermediate step, STOP. These are master numbers that should not be reduced.
The final number (1-9 or 11/22/33) is your life path. It reveals your mission and natural talents.
Calculation Examples
1+5+0+3+1+9+9+0 = 28 → 2+8 = 10 → 1+0 = 1
Life Path 1
2+9+1+1+1+9+8+2 = 33
Life Path 33 (Master Number)
0+7+0+7+2+0+0+0 = 16 → 1+6 = 7
Life Path 7
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✕Do not reduce master numbers (11, 22, 33)
- ✕Use the official birth date, not the felt one
- ✕Add each digit separately, not day + month + year directly
- ✕Double-check calculations to avoid addition errors
