How Life Path Numbers Work

Life Path Numbers are calculated using the Pythagorean numerology system, which assigns numerical values to your birth date. This ancient practice, steeped in history, reveals the core essence of who you are and the lessons you’re here to learn.

The Calculation Method

Let me guide you through the process, which is quite straightforward:

1. Take your full birth date - Include month, day, and year.
2. Add all the digits together - Break down each component into single digits and sum them.
3. Reduce to a single digit - Continue adding until you arrive at a number between 1-9.
4. Preserve Master Numbers - If you encounter 11, 22, or 33 during reduction, stop there.

For example, if someone was born on December 25, 1990:

• 1+2+2+5+1+9+9+0 = 29
• 2+9 = 11
• Life Path Number = 11 (Master Number, don’t reduce further).

Master Numbers: 11, 22, and 33

Master Numbers carry double the power and potential of single digits. Sometimes, I see these numbers indicate old souls, endowed with heightened abilities and greater spiritual responsibilities:

• 11: The Master Intuitive - A spiritual messenger with psychic abilities.
• 22: The Master Builder - A visionary capable of manifesting large-scale dreams.
• 33: The Master Teacher - A healer and nurturer operating at the highest level of compassion.

If you find yourself with a Master Number, you’ll experience both the traits of the reduced number (11=2, 22=4, 33=6) and the amplified energy that comes from being a Master.
