Learn to calculate your Path of Life or your Birth Number
Calculating your birth number or Path of Life is very simple. The procedure is the next:
1. Write your day, month and year of birth with numbers:
Example, December 12, 1950 would be: 12-12-1950
2. Once you have those numbers, add them together to make it easier for you to calculate. In the previous example you add:
1+2+1+2+1+9+5+0=21
3. You also arrive at that result by adding each element, let’s say: 12+12+1950=1974 and then adding 1+9+7+4=21
Remember that mathematics is an exact science and the order of the addends does not change the sum.
Now you have a number, in the previous case 21 and you add it again 21=2+1=3 and you already have the Path of life since in Numerology you are going to reduce all the figures to a single digit, from 1 to 9 . This is very important.
Another example: If the sum gives you 18, the resulting number would be 9 (1+8), if the sum gives you 32, the result is 5 (3+2) and so on, it’s very simple, just add and reduce.
