August 19, 2020

Numerology is based on a belief that numbers carry energy vibrations and these vibrations have an influence on our character and destiny. But while all numbers play a role in shaping our being in some way or another, there are some numbers that are considered more important than others in numerology. One of such numbers is your life path number.

This is one of the core numbers in your numerology chart and it can reveal a lot about your destiny. Learn more about how to calculate your life path number and what it means for your life.

What does your life path number mean?

If you are interested in astrology or Zodiac signs, you can see your life path number being as important as your Sun sign – this is how impactful this number is in numerology.

What is the importance of your life path number?

  1. Understanding your life purpose
    Knowing this number can help you better understand your purpose in life
  2. Knowing yourself
    It helps you understand your talents, strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities.
  3. Understanding your future challenges
    Apart from telling you about your personal characteristics, this number can also give you an idea of the challenges you will face in life, so you are more prepared to overcome those.

What you can learn from your life path number is how you can utilize your strengths to overcome the challenges and realize your true potential and achieve who you are truly meant to be.

How to calculate your life path number

To calculate your life path number, all you need to know is your date of birth. Prepare a pen and paper for your calculations. Write down your birth date, then add every digit in your day, month, and year of birth, reducing each number to a single digit.

Let’s illustrate this using the example of a person born on November 21, 1987.

Day: 21 → 2 + 1 = 3
Month: 11
→ 1 + 1 = 2
Year: 1987
→ 1 + 9 + 8 + 7 = 25 → 2 + 5 = 7

After you have done that, add the three numbers together and reduce to a single digit, as in the previous step. Here is how to do it:

3 + 2 + 7 = 12 → 1 + 2 = 3

Now that you have done the calculations, you can see that you have 3 as your life path number. But what does that mean for you? Below you can find the meanings of each life path number in more detail.

Something you should keep in mind while doing your calculations is that numbers like 11, 22, and 33 are not reduced to a single digit, because they are known as Master Numbers. So, if at the end of your calculations you came to one of these numbers, then consider it your life path number without adding further. Meanings of Master Numbers for your life path are also explained below.

What can your life path number tell you about yourself?

Now that you know how to calculate your life path number, let’s explore the meaning behind each of the numbers so you can learn how it influences your journey through life.

Life path number 1

People whose life path number is 1 are natural-born leaders. They are independent and ambitious, determined to achieve great things and become their best selves. This is also a number of imagination and creative expression, so you might find yourself drawn to professions where you can demonstrate these abilities.

If your life path number is 1, you have a lot of original ideas and you know exactly what you want from your life and personal development. Apart from that, you also dislike routine and have the need to keep yourself entertained. This makes you a great person to have a conversation or spend time with, but it can have a negative impact on your professional life if you do not find balance.

Life path number 2

Number 2 is a sign of duality, but often people underestimate the influence it has over their lives. This number in your life path carries the influences related to creative expression, talents, and the ability to understand others and get along well with almost anyone.

People with life path number 2 are resilient in the face of challenges life brings them. Unlike those with number 1 in their path who push forward but have to take a step back if they face pressure, twos stand for flexibility and an open mind. These people approach others with honesty, which is why it is easy for them to make friends and establish good relationships with others around them.

Life path number 3

Number 3 is associated with communication, which is why it does not come across as a surprise that people with it in their life path are expressive and great conversationalists. They enjoy showing their talents and personality in creative ways like drawing, writing, or designing things.

If your life path number is 3, you are driven and others look up to you as their source of inspiration and motivation, and this is something that brings you fulfillment. However, sometimes you may come across as needy or moody, although this can be overcome by practicing mindfulness.

Life path number 4

A person whose life path number is 4 is typically very practical. If your life path number is 4, rationality and straightforward approach to projects are some of your strongest talents. At work, you are respected for your hard work and great organizational skills. In your personal life, you are a down-to-earth person who easily manages all practical matters.

Because you are very practically oriented, sometimes you might come across as stubborn or strict, someone who sees everything in black and white. If this happens to you, it is important to learn to see the bigger picture and consider the feelings of other people before making important decisions.

Life path number 5

Number 5 gives you a compassionate and freedom-loving personality. You enjoy traveling, exploring new places, and meeting new people. Others naturally feel drawn to your positivity and open-mindedness. You are also a creative thinker who hates routine, so a boring 9-5 job won’t be a good fit for you. Consider a career where you have variety and many opportunities for creative expression.

Your freedom-loving nature also shows itself in your romantic relationships. You prefer casual flings and tend to avoid long-term connections with people. But that is not because you are superficial, but rather because you find it hard to meet a partner who understands your character and shares something in common with you.

Life path number 6

People with life path number 6 find enjoyment in taking care of others. If your life path number is 6, you are naturally an empathic person who is compassionate and attentive to emotions and feelings of other people around you. Since you often place the needs of others ahead of your own, sometimes you need to take a step back and think about your own life and things going on in it.

If you are not sure what career you should choose, then a role in education or childcare can be a perfect fit for your nurturing personality. Thanks to your empathy and intuition, you can often easily find resolution to conflicts in your work and personal relationships. You cannot completely avoid them, but you always take a diplomatic approach so that no one gets hurt.

Life path number 7

For people with life path number 7, it is very important to develop mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. These people are intelligent and enjoy careers where they can challenge their mind. They are also very independent and often find it easier to work on their own. The same happens in their personal relationships, and this is where it might become hard to find a balance.

If your life path number is 7, you enjoy being independent, despite sometimes lacking self-confidence. You might be looking for validation from others in your work and relationships alike. Do not be too hard on yourself and let the good things come to your life naturally, and just as naturally let go of things that no longer serve you. This way, you will soon find your true path and obtain your life’s purpose.

Life path number 8

If your life path number is 8, then you probably value your financial security the most. You want to become independent financially, so you always look for opportunities that will bring the most monetary rewards. From an early age, you see money as the source of freedom and power.

This view of life will bring you to career achievements and general satisfaction with how things are in your career. However, you should always remember that financial matters comprise only a part of your life and try to find a balance between your pursuit of achievements and your personal life, your spiritual path, and your overall happiness.

Life path number 9

People with number 9 as their life path might come across as self-centered and arrogant to others because they find it hard to understand the thoughts and feelings of those around them. Although this is not because they do not want to, people still find it hard to approach them because of this personality trait.

In personal relationships, life path number 9 can bring challenges, because mutual understanding is very important. If your life path number is 9, you will be often attracted to partners that you do not have things in common aside from feelings of love, which can prove to be challenging in the long run. However, nines are very open and honest partners, so there is always a way to make things work.

Life path number 11

If your life path number is 11, then you are an intuitive and empathic person. You typically have a good understanding of other people’s feelings and can judge situations in front of you without necessarily being given any details about them. Sometimes, your intuition is so sharp that people even call you a mind reader.

You are someone who is spiritually aware and prefer to rely on your gut feeling rather than practicality and rational thought. This can work for you in some situations and against you in others, so finding a balance is very important.

Life path number 22

Having number 22 as your life path delivers powerful influences of this Master Number. Sometimes, you may even feel overwhelmed by the abilities this number bestows on you. However, once you learn how to manage the gifts of the universe, you will uncover great potential and desire to achieve bigger things in life.

Keep challenging yourself throughout your life journey so that you can discover more of your strengths and overcome your weaknesses. Your personality not only affects your life, but often the lives of other people as well, so it will be a good idea to show your talents in an environment where you can help others.

Life path number 33

Master Number 33 in your life path is usually a sign of your devotion to others and your wish to better the world through your experiences and actions. This number takes all the influences from life path number 3 and nearly doubles them, enriching your life with its intense vibrations. Carrying such strong energies through your life journey might be overwhelming, but if you learn how to wield their power, it can bring amazing results.

This number might lead to you pushing yourself all the time to move forward in life and do better in your work and personal life. As a result, you will have great achievements, but at the same time you might become too caught up and buried in your work that you end up ignoring other aspects of your life. When this happens, looking for support from your family and friends might be the best way to overcome the problem.

Understanding the concept of the life path number and knowing how to calculate it can help you uncover many hidden truths about your personality and what awaits you in life. Now that you know the meanings behind each of life path numbers, grab a pen and paper and calculate your own, if you haven’t already done so. Numerology has many secrets waiting for you to tap into.
