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 Kanye West as an example.  

His birthday is June 8, 1977

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

Remember:  You always reduce to a one-digit number (unless you get an 11, 22, or 33 – these are Master numbers and therefore aren’t reduced).

Month is June = 6 (because it is the 6th month of the year).

Day is 8 = 8

Year is 1977 = 1 + 9 + 7 + 7 = 24  |  2 + 4 = 6  

Now add together:

6 + 8 + 6 = 20

Keep adding:  2 + 0 = 2

Kanye West has a 2 Life Path.

Do you know anyone who has a 2 Life Path?

The basic characteristics of the 2 Life Path revolve around their focus on love and relationships. They’re mediators, peacekeepers, relationship builders, and are extraordinarily emotionally sensitive.

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 2 Life Path can present as under active (timid and emotionally fragile, for example) or over active (childish and combative, for instance).
