How to find your life path number without a calculator
Numerologists use different methods to calculate a life path number. Most numerologists agree on the following method:
Day + Month + Year = Life Path Number
Calculate the Day
Reduce the birth day to a one-digit number. If a day is a single-digit number then it is used as is. If it is a double-digit number then it is reduced as below. 11, and 22 are considered master numbers, so if the double-digit number is 11 or 22 (master numbers) then they are not reduced to single-digit numbers but used as-is (11 or 22).
Calculate the Month
To calculate the month, use the following values:
- January – 1
- February – 2
- March – 3
- April – 4
- May – 5
- June – 6
- July – 7
- August – 8
- September – 9
- October – 10 (reduces to 1+0=1)
- November – 11 (Since 11 is a master number it is not reduced)
- December – 12 (reduces to 1+2=3)
Explanation
If a month is a single-digit number, then you use it as is.
If it is a double-digit number then, you reduce it as above. If the double-digit number is 11 or 22 (master numbers) then you do not reduce them to single-digit numbers but use them as-is (11 or 22).
Calculate the Year
Calculate the value of each of the digits in the birth year. If the answer is a two-digit number then reduce it.
Calculate the Life Path Number
Add the day, month and year to get the final number. Reduce this number if it is a double-digit number unless it is 11, 22, and 33* (master numbers). Therefore, the final life path number will be either a 1 to 9, 11, 22, or 33.
* If the result is a double-digit 33 and it does not include an 11 or a 22 then the result is reduced to 6 (33: 3+3=6). In this case, it will not be a Master Number. However, if the result includes either an 11 or a 22 Master Number then it is considered a true 33 and a Master Number.
Examples
If someone was born on the following birth date: December 28, 1965
Day: 28 (2+8=10), this is reduced to (1+0=1) so the number is 1
Month: December is the 12th calendar month (1+2=3) so the month number is 3
Year: 1965 (1+9+6+5)=21 =(2+1)=3
The life path number is the Day + Month + Year
In this example, it is 1+3+3=7
If someone was born on the following date of birth: November 28, 1965
Day: 28 (2+8=10), this is reduced to (1+0=1) so the number is 1
Month: November is the 11th calendar month. Since 11 is a Master Number it is not reduced so the month number is 11
Year: 1965 (1+9+6+5)=21 =(2+1)=3
The life path number is the Day + Month + Year
In this example, it is 1+11+3=14
We then reduce 14 to 1+4=5
So the Life Path Number is 5
