Life Path Number Calculator
Calculate your Life Path number from your date of birth, the core numerology number revealing your natural strengths, purpose and life direction.
How it works
Your Life Path number comes from your birth date: add every digit of the day, month and year, then reduce the total to a single digit from 1 to 9. That number reveals your core traits and life purpose.
Example: born on 9 March 1990 → 0+9+0+3+1+9+9+0 = 31 → 3+1 = 4. Your Life Path number is 4, The Builder.
