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.

It is comparable to the Sun Sign in Astrology.

So how do you calculate the Life Path number?

Let’s use Kristen Bell as an example.

Her birthday is July 18, 1980

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 July = 7 (because it is the 7th month of the year)

Day is 18 | 1 + 8 = 9

Year is 1980 = 1 + 9 + 8 + 0 = 18 and 1 + 8= 9

Now add together:

7 + 9 + 9 = 25

Keep adding:  2 + 5 = 7

Kristen Bell has a 7 Life Path.

Do you know anyone who has a 7 Life Path?

The 7 Life Path is on a different wavelength than most! These people are highly analytical and yet also acutely intuitive to the point of being psychic. They are here to explore the intricacies of the universe in their own internal way.   The 7 Life Path has a refined mind and is a perfectionist. These people need their “alone” time!

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 7 Life Path can present as under-active (superficial and lacking depth, for example) or over-active (reclusive and pessimistic, for instance). 

3 Reasons Why Everyone Needs A 7 Life Path In Their Life 

1.  When the 7 Life Path is in their groove, they are the most beautiful people to have in your life. They are there to DELVE INTO THE DEPTHS with you. They’re the friends or lovers with whom you can talk about the deepest and darkest part of yourself without a filter.  They will hold space for you no matter what.

2.  The 7 Life Path is so INTUITIVE and will support you on the road to self-realization if that is something you’re interested in. They are the ultimate knowledge-seekers and will have some great suggestions for books, workshops, or ideas that will spur your forward momentum.

3.  If you want to have a friend or partner who has a QUIRKY sense of fun and humor, the 7 Life Path sees the world through a slightly different lens than most! These are the folks who will usually be open to listening to new music with you, going to the new art installation, or taking the cooking class.
