Life Path Number Calculator

Your Life Path number is the most important number in Pythagorean numerology. Derived from your full date of birth, it reveals your core life purpose, innate talents, and the challenges you will face. It is often called the "destiny number" because it outlines the path your life is meant to follow.

The Life Path number is calculated by reducing each component of your birth date (month, day, year) to a single digit, then summing those digits and reducing again. For example, March 15, 1990: Month 3, Day 1+5=6, Year 1+9+9+0=19 then 1+9=10 then 1+0=1. Total: 3+6+1=10, 1+0=1. Life Path is 1. Master numbers (11, 22, 33) are not reduced.

Master numbers are double-digit numbers that carry amplified spiritual significance. 11 is the Master Intuitive (heightened intuition and spiritual insight), 22 is the Master Builder (ability to turn dreams into reality on a large scale), and 33 is the Master Teacher (compassion and selfless service). They are never reduced to a single digit in Life Path calculations.

Karmic debt numbers (13, 14, 16, 19) appear during the reduction process and indicate lessons carried from past lives. 13 signals laziness to overcome, 14 warns of misused freedom, 16 relates to ego destruction and rebuilding, and 19 points to selfishness that must be transcended. They add an extra layer of challenge to your Life Path.
