To Calculate your Life Path Number:
Each unit of the date, month, date, and year, must be computed and reduced to a single digit. For example, if you were born on November 6, 1996, you would calculate your Life Path as follows:
Month:
November is the 11th month of the year. 11 reduces to 2 (1 + 1 = 2).
Day:
The date of the 6th requires no calculation.
- Note for example however, that if the date of birth was say, the 17th, those digits would need to be reduced as well. 17 reduces to 8 (1 + 7 = 8).
Year:
The year of birth is 1996. 1996 reduces to 7 (1 + 9 + 9 + 6 = 25, then 2 + 5 = 7).
Now add the resulting single-digit numbers: 2 + 6 + 7 = 15.
Reduce it further when necessary. In this case to 6 (1 + 5 = 6)
The Life Path number here is 6.
