What Path Did Your Soul Choose for You?
Did you know that your soul has a plan for you for in this lifetime? A plan that includes your expansion and lessons to master, your strengths and talents to utilize, and your life purpose to accomplish. Numerology gives you a road map to this personal plan. One of the strongest and most powerful numbers in your Numerology Chart is your Life Path Number. This number explains the path that you have chosen to walk in this lifetime. It explains the energy that you have used in past lives and the talents and abilities that you have accumulated along the way. It strongly influences who you are as person, how you achieve your life purpose, and how you master your lessons.
​
Here are the steps to calculate your Life Path Number.
Step 1:
Reduce the month, day and year numbers of your birth date down to 3 single-digit numbers. All numbers reduce down to 1 through 9 unless they total 11, 22 or 33.
​
Let’s use this birth date as an example: November 23, 1973
11: Stays 11
23: 2+3=5
1973: 1+9+7+3=20…2+0=2
That means the 3 single numbers are 11, 5 and 2
Step 2:
Add those 3 numbers together.
11+5+2=18
Step 3:
Continue to add any double-digits together until you get a single -digit number, unless it totals 11, 22 or 33 which then becomes an 11/2, 22/4 or 33/6 Life Path Number.
1+8=9
​
In this example the Life Path Number is a 9.
