The 12 life path numbers
Your Life Path is the spine of a numerology chart — derived from your date of birth, it names the road your story tends to travel. There are twelve: nine root numbers and three master numbers that keep their double digits.
How a life path is derived
Reduce the month, day, and year of your birth date, then reduce their sum. The chain stops early at 11, 22, and 33 — the master numbers. The same birth date gives the same number every time; it's arithmetic, not chance.

Your road keeps inviting you to go first; trusting your own direction is the lesson that repeats until it lands.
