How to Calculate Your Birth Path Number

As you learn more about numerology, you’ll find that you want to know more about your life path and the obstacles you may face. One of the easiest and best ways to go about this is to calculate your birth path number.

Finding the Number

First, write out your birthday. If your birthday is January 05, 1972, write "01051972." Once you've written this out, add all of the numbers together. In this example, you would add 0+1+0+5+1+9+7+2, and you would get a total of 25. From here, you need to further simplify your number. Add 2+5 to bring the number down to a single digit. Most birth path numbers are single digits, though if your number is 11 or 22, you do not reduce it further. These are considered master numbers and should not be ignored.
