How do I calculate my Life Path number?

Add all digits of your birth date (day, month, year) and reduce to a single digit. For example, March 15, 1990: 3 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 28 → 2 + 8 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1. Master numbers 11, 22, and 33 are not reduced further.

What is the difference between Life Path and Expression number?

Your Life Path number comes from your birth date and reveals your life purpose. Your Expression number comes from your full birth name and shows your natural talents and abilities. Together they form the core of your numerology chart.

How do I calculate my name numerology number?

Use the Pythagorean chart where A=1, B=2... I=9, then J=1 again. Add all letter values in your full birth name and reduce to a single digit (or Master Number 11, 22, 33). This gives you your Expression/Destiny number.

What are Master Numbers in numerology?

Master Numbers are 11, 22, and 33. They carry intensified energy and higher spiritual potential. When calculating, if you reach 11, 22, or 33 before the final reduction, stop there—these are not reduced to single digits.

How do I calculate my Personal Year number?

Add your birth month + birth day + the current year digits. For example, if born March 15 and the current year is 2026: 3 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 19 → 1 + 9 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1. Your Personal Year is 1.
