Your birth date and your personality
Your birth date holds the key to the most significant number in your life – your life path or destiny number. This number signifies who you are you at birth, your main characteristics and your potential.
Your life path or destiny number is calculated by adding the numbers of your birth date together and reducing them to a single digit. There are 9 numbers in total with the two master numbers, 11 and 22. The master numbers are not reduced further.
How to calculate your destiny number:
Write down your birth date in numerical form and add up all the numbers.
For example if your birth date is:
10 / 12 / 1969
1 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 29
2 + 9 = 11
Your destiny number is 11 (Remember that 11 and 22 are not reduced as they are master numbers)
If your birth date is :
25 / 06 / 1972
2 + 5 + 0 + 6 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 2 = 32
3 + 2 = 5
Your destiny number is 5
