How It Is Calculated and What It Means When You See It

The world is full of mysterious things that humankind is always on the search for in order to understand it better. We are always striving to figure out the secrets of our reality as well as our futures because humans are innately restless and curious. Many sciences and disciplines have tried to figure out the ways in which the universe is connected and how it affects us. Astrology is the most known science popular for dealing with this issue. The whole point of these disciplines is for humans to know who they are, what role they play, and how to achieve their purpose in life. These kinds of questions can be answered through your life path number, and here’s all you need to know about it:

What Is a Life Path Number

A Life Path number is based on numerology, a science that the famous ancient Greek philosopher, Pythagoras, believed was the essence of everything. He believed that everything in the physical world all boils down to the energetic vibrations of numbers. When it comes to the life path number, it’s the number that shows each person’s unique nature and characteristics that display your destined life path. It can show how your mind works, the role you play in your relationships, and gives you insights into the future and your purpose in life.

How Is the Life Path Number Calculated

The concept of life path numbers was influenced by Pythagoras and introduced to the modern world by the influential spiritualist of the early 20th-century, Mrs. L Dow Balliett. Her student, Dr. Juno Jordan, is the one who is responsible for the single-digit numerological method used today. So, according to their efforts, how can you calculate your life path number? It’s pretty simple, only needing your birth date to be calculated. All you need to do is add all the numbers in your birth date together after singling out the double digits. For example, if you were born on the 25th of December 1992, you would first get the root number of the day by adding 2+5= 7, then doing the same for the month; 1+2=3, and the year 1+9+9+2= 21, single it again by adding 2+1=3. Finally, add the roots together 7+3+3= 13, then get its root by adding 1+3=4. This means the life path number for this birthday is four.
