Find Your Life Path Number
To find your life path number you need to add all of the numbers of your birth date together until you break it down to one single number. Unless your number is 11, 22 or 33 as these are master numbers. For example, let’s say that your birthday is 3/25/1975, you would add 3+2+5+1+9+7+5 = 32 and 3+2 = 5, so your life path number would be 5.
If you get a master number such as 11,22 or 33 then your life path number will embody both the energy of the double digit number and the single digit number. So if your life path number is 11 then the life path number 2 will also apply to your life path. If you get life path number 22 then life path number 4 will also apply to you, so on and so forth.
