Life Path Number Explained

The Life Path number refers to the aggregate of the complete birth date. Life Path number symbolizes the indigenous characteristics that you will bear with you all through your life. According to numerological belief, Life Path number is the most important number that governs your entire life experience. It is determined whenever an individual is born. While calculating the Life Path number, you need to convert the month into a single number. You need to do the same thing for date and the year of birth. Then these three digits need to be added further to make a single digit between 1 and 9, unless you get any master number (see in the following paragraph for more details about master numbers).

Let us consider an example that John was born on May 19, 1983 (05-19-1983), now you first add the month, which is 0 + 5 = 5 to the day 19 which is 1 + 9 = 10 which is reduced 1 + 0 = 1. Now count the year 1 + 9 + 8 + 3 = 21 which is again reduced to 2 + 1 = 3. Now add all three digits together 5 + 1 + 3 = 9. So, John's Life Path number is 9.
