What is numerology?
Numbers have been a universal language for civilizations since the beginning of time. Numbers are the basis for creating structure and a conscious awareness of cycles. They also help chart your life path. That’s right, you can discover your destiny, purpose, and personality all from the day you were born.
Any number variation can be reduced to a single digit number, and from there, deciphered into various meanings. In addition, we also have master numbers such as 11, 22, and 33. Understanding the deeper meaning of numbers can help us illuminate the fabric of the universe and see the interconnectedness within it.

In numerology, your life path number represents the tendencies and characteristics that you’re born with. Becoming aware of yours can help you align more with your purpose, creating deeper meaning in everyday living.
Now, let’s figure out the fundamentals to calculating your life path number. You are going to add the single digits from your birth month, date, and year until you reduce it to a single number. It’s important to include the millennium, century, decade, and year of your birth. It’s also noteworthy to mention that we reduce your number to a single digit, with the exception of master numbers. For example, if you were born July 12, 1996, you’d add 0+7+1+2+1+9+9+6=35, which reduces to 3+5=8 for a life path number 8.
