The Life Path number is a key to understanding your life’s purpose, innate tendencies and talents, and the obstacles you’ll face as you continue to master the lessons to be learned in your life. The Life Path number indicates the primary mission in life—it outlines what you’re learning, mastering, and evolving into. So while you will have innate gifts and talents in this particular arena, you will also have more distinct or heightened obstacles in getting there.

So how do you calculate the Life Path number?

Let’s use Miley Cyrus as an example.  

Her birthday is November 23, 1992

To calculate the Life Path number, you simply add the MONTH + DAY + YEAR

Remember:  You always reduce to a one-digit number.

Month is November = 11 (because it is the 11th month of the year). This is a Master number and isn’t reduced.

Day is 23 = 2 + 3 = 5

1992 = 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 21  |  2 + 1 = 3  

Now add together:

11 + 5 + 3 = 19

Keep adding:  1 + 9 = 10

Keep adding: 1 + 0 = 1

Miley Cyrus has a 1 Life Path.

Do you know anyone who has a 1 Life Path?

The basic characteristics of the 1 Life Path revolve around their sense of independence. They’re innovators, leaders, initiators, and creative powerhouses.

Also keep in mind that we’re all challenged with the opposing forces to our life’s mission in some way, shape, or form.  Misalignment for the 1 Life Path can present as under active (dependency or struggling with self-esteem, for example) or over active (self-centered and lacking the ability to connect with others, for instance).
