THE LIFE PATH NUMBER

Of all the numbers found in numerology, none is hailed as highly as the "Life Path Number/' This single digit number is considered by the average person to be the whole of numerological theory.

Of all the numbers used by numerologists, the Life Path Number is often considered the most important, the crowning glory of all the other numbers. Found from our birth dates it is unchangeable and so governs our destiny forever. Specifically, the Life Path Number tells us the lessons we need to learn in this lifetime and then shows each of us the talents we possess that will help us to learn these lessons. Numerologists believe that we will constantly be tested by the universe until we learn these lessons, experiencing many similar situations that call on us to overcome our shortcomings and attain a sort of enlightenment.
Enlightenment—in numerology—means that you attain an actualization of your higher self in which you become a better, more content and complete person. But, if somewhere along the way you also contact your divine self, fabulous!! The Life Path Number, then, highlights the "paths7' our lives will follow7, revealing where we will find our true successes, even our failures. It is also sometimes called the Destiny Number.

3.1. CALCULATING THE LIFE PATH NUMBER

In order to calculate the Life Path Number all you will need to know is your date of birth. You do not need to know the time you were born, whether or not the moon was full that particular day, or which planets were squaring the planet the exact minute you were born. The simplest way to demonstrate how to calculate the Life Path Number is to give you an example. We can use a birth date to do so.


Birth Date = February 26, 1975


The first step in calculating the Life Path Number is to convert all of the birth date into a numerical value. Therefore, the month in which we were born must also be translated into a number. Most of us are familiar with the numbers of each month, but just in case you are not familiar with this system.

January = 1
February = 2
March = 3
April = 4
May = 5
June = 6
July = 7
August = 8
September = 9
October = 10/1
November = 11/2
December = 12/3
