Numerology asserts that each person has a "Life Path Number" which Is calculated by first writing out your birthdate in numerical form (like this: 2/14/1991). If any one of those three numbers is a single digit or master number, leave it as-is; otherwise add together the digits of the number until you have three single-digit or master numbers (so if you were born in 1991, you’d add 1+9+9+1 to get 20, and then add 2+0 to get 2 as your reduced year number). Finally, you’ll add together the three month, day, and year numbers.
