Find out your numerology number and what it means
Your birthday number
Look at the date you were born to find your birthday number. If you were born on the 5th of the month, then your birthday number is 5. If you were born on the 28th (a double-digit number), then you add up the two numbers together (2 + 8 = 10) to find your birthday number. For birthday numbers, you do not have to reduce them to a single digit. Only use the date, not the month or year. This helps you find your lucky number.
Life path number
Your life path number shows the destined path that you will be walking down in this lifetime. It shows your true nature, uniqueness as a person, and the karmic debt that you have to work through. To find your life-path number, you’ll need to add the numerical month plus day plus year in which you were born.
Let’s say you were born on 27 October 1990. You would add the numbers of the day of your birth together: 2 + 7 = 9. Then you add the double-digit 10 together (the month of October). For example, 1 + 0 = 1. Finally, the year 1990: 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19. As the latter is a double number, we break it down further: 1 + 9 = 10. And again, we break that down by adding 1 + 0 to get the single number, 1.
Now, we add up all of the main numbers: 9 (birthdate) + 1 (birth month) + 1 (birth year) = 11. We deduce this number further, by adding its digits together: 1 + 1 = 2. This means that your life path number is 2 and you are deemed a builder or manifester.
Destiny number
Your destiny number reveals the part of you that is looking for fulfilment. It shows your heart’s desire and what your souls are yearning for in this life. To find your destiny number, you would use the mathematical technique used to find your life path number. But, you would use your first and last name, then align each letter with a number. Each letter has a number that corresponds with it.
Use the number 1 for the letters A, J, S.
Use the number 2 for the letters B, K, T.
Use the number 3 for the letters C, L, U,
Use the number 4 for the letters D, M, V.
Use the number 5 for the letters E, N, W.
Use the number 6 for the letters F, O, X,
Use the number 7 for the letters G, P, Y.
Use the number 8 for the letters H, Q, Z.
Use the number 9 for the letters I, R.
