What number are you?

Birth Path Number

The birth path number, which suggests your overall path in life and place in the world, is based on your complete birth date. It is easy to calculate. Simply add up the digits of your birth data, and keep “reducing” (explained via the example here) to a single digit.

Example:
If your birthday is April 28, 1968, for example, note it as follows:

Birth Month is April, which is the 4th month = 4 Birth Day is 28 = 28
Birth Year is 1968 = 1968.

Add up the digits of all of these numbers: 4+2+8+1+9+6+8 = 38

Further “reduce” this number to a single digit by adding its digits: 3+8 = 11

And then further reduce it, if necessary: 1+1 = 2

The final digit, 2, is the Birth Path Number!

Name Number

Use the birth name–the name given a person at birth–to determine the Name Number (also known as the Expression Number), which reveals the overall personality. To calculate the name number, find the number that corresponds to each letter in the name in the chart below, add the numerals up, and then “reduce” the final number to a single digit, as you did with the birth path number, above.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Example:
Name given at birth: Mary Lynn Smith.

Find each letter and its corresponding numeral in the chart above, and then add these digits together: 4+1+9+7+3+7+5+5+1+4+9+2+8 = 65

Reduce by adding the sum’s digits together, and then further reduce to come to a single digit, if necessary: 65 = 6+5 = 11
11 = 1+1 = 2

In this example, the Name Number is 2, representing the personality type.
