What is a life path number?
Your life path number comes from your full date of birth. In numerology it describes the main theme you keep meeting: how you tend to act, what you are drawn to, and what you keep learning. It is the most used number in numerology, and the easiest to calculate.
How to calculate it by hand
- Month 11 → 11
- Day 29 → 2+9 = 11
- Year 1990 → 1+9+9+0 = 19 → 1+9 = 10 → 1+0 = 1
- 11 + 11 + 1 = 23 → 2+3 = 5
Master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are kept as they are instead of being added down.

Tarot birth cards use the same birthday but add it up differently, landing on a pair of Major Arcana cards. Many people find the two point to the same theme. Find your birth cards →
FAQ
Why do some calculators give a different number?
Some add every digit in one go instead of reducing month, day and year first. Both are common; this calculator reduces each part first so master numbers are not lost.
Does my life path number change?
No. It comes from your birth date, so it stays the same for life.
