What Is Numerology?

Numerology is the study of numbers and their significance in human life. Rooted in ancient traditions from Pythagoras to Kabbalah, numerology holds that numbers carry vibrational energy that influences personality, relationships, and life events.

Your life path number is the most important number in numerology — the equivalent of a sun sign in Western astrology. It is derived from your full birth date and reveals your core character and the overarching theme of your life's journey.

How to Calculate Your Life Path Number

  1. Write out your full birthdate as digits (MM/DD/YYYY)
  2. Add all the digits together
  3. If the sum is 11, 22, or 33 — stop. That's a master number
  4. Otherwise, keep adding the digits until you reach a single number (1–9)

Example: April 23, 1985 → 0+4+2+3+1+9+8+5 = 32 → 3+2 = 5
