I think everyone enjoys astrology, even if they don’t necessarily believe in it. In the mainstream today most people have some basic knowledge of astrology, however, very few people know about numerology. Which is so surprising as I find numerology to be so interesting, and more individualized than astrological signs. Numerology is the belief that the numbers reflect certain aspects of the universe. Numerology derives your number based on things such as your name or birthdate. The numbers of your birthday can be calculated to find a number which coincides with the vibrations of the Earth at the time you were born. This number is referred to as your life path number and is said to reveal the broad outline of your life and who you are.
Here’s how to calculate your life path number using your birth date: 1. Take the number of your birth month and if it is double digits add the number together. 2. Take the digits of your birthday and add them together. If the number is greater than 9, then add the two digits of the previous sum together. 3. Take the digits of your birth year and add them together. If the number is greater than 9, then add the two digits of the previous sum together. Repeat until you have a single digit number. 4. Total the sum of steps 1, 2, and 3. If the number is greater than nine then add the digits of the previous sum together to get your life path number.
For example, I’ll find my path life number, my birthdate is 2/22/1999.
-
02 = 2
-
2+2= 4
-
1+9+9+9 = 28 – reduce- 2+8= 10 – reduce- 1+0 =1
-
2+4+1 = 7
My life path number is seven.
