How Life Path Numbers Work
Your life path is calculated by reducing your full date of birth to a single digit (or master number, in which case it stays as 11, 22, or 33). The formula sums the month, day, and year separately, then combines them — preserving any master numbers that appear along the way.
Unlike sun signs, which divide humanity into 12 broad categories, the life path number works with date math that's unique to your birthday. It doesn't change across your life — it's the foundational vibration you arrived with. Other numbers in your chart (expression, soul urge, personality) modify and color the life path, but the life path is the spine.
