How we calculate it

From your birth date — to a single digit

It is simpler than it looks. We take your birth date, add up its digits, then reduce the total to one — and that gives you your Life Path Number. Here is a real example: someone born on July 14, 1990.

Step 1

Take the birth date

Write it out in digits — day, month, and year, leaving nothing out.

14.07.1990
July 14, 1990
Step 2

Add up every digit

Add each digit on its own — day, month, and year — into a single sum.

1+4+0+7+1+9+9+0
= 31
the sum of all eight digits
Step 3

Reduce to one digit

Add the digits of the result again, and keep going until one is left.

31 3+1
= 4
nothing left to reduce
Step 4

Read its meaning

Four is about stability, order, and hard work. That is how your birth date becomes your Life Path.

One exception — the master numbers

If 11, 22, or 33 turns up along the way, you do not reduce it: these three numbers are left as they are. They are said to carry greater potential and weightier tasks than the rest — so they are allowed to sound in full.

Number meanings

What each number reveals

Each of the six numbers has its own theme: your path sets the direction, your destiny names your talents, and your soul holds what you truly long for. Each one has twelve values: 1 through 9, plus the master numbers 11, 22, and 33. Open yours — it's not a couple of lines, but a full reading.

Life Path Number
The core number of your profile, calculated from your birth date. It points to your overall direction, what comes easily to you, and the lessons life keeps repeating until you learn them.
Destiny Number
Calculated from your full name. It shows your natural gifts and where it makes sense to invest those abilities.
Soul Urge Number
Drawn from the vowels in your name. It speaks to what you really want — even when you say something else out loud.
Personality Number
Found in the consonants of your name. It's the side people notice first, before they get the chance to know you better.
Maturity Number
The sum of your Life Path and Destiny. What it was all leading toward usually surfaces in your later years — this number is about that.
Birth Day Number
Simply the day of the month you were born. It adds one striking trait to your Life Path — the thing people notice about you most.
A numerologist's note

Why bother working out your number

What surprises people most isn't the number itself, but the recognition. You read a short take on your Four or Seven and catch yourself thinking, "yes, that's exactly how I live." In that moment a habit you've long noticed in yourself finally gets a name, and it becomes easier to do something about it.

"A number doesn't tell you who to be. It hints at what already comes easier to you."

We write our readings the way you'd explain something to a friend over tea — no grand words, no promises to predict the future. A single number says little; it gets interesting when you read them together and see how a strength pulls a weakness along with it. A good reason to look into your profile isn't "what's coming for me," but "what's already in me and where to put it."

Questions & answers

The essentials

Numerology describes a person's character through numbers. Your birth date and name are reduced by simple rules to a few core numbers, and each one carries a steady meaning. We use the Pythagorean system, the most widely used method for these calculations.

Most readings start with the Life Path Number, calculated from your birth date. It points to your overall direction: what comes easily to you and which lessons keep returning again and again.

The Master Numbers are 11, 22 and 33. Unlike the others, they are not reduced to a single digit but kept as they are. They are said to carry bigger tasks and a higher bar than usual.

In the Pythagorean system every Latin letter from A to Z has its own value from 1 to 9. That is why the name is entered in Latin: write it in transliteration, just as it appears in your passport.

Numbers based on your birth date never change. Those calculated from your name shift when you change your first or last name, for example after marriage.

Numerology is not an exact science or a prediction. Think of it as an invitation to look at yourself more closely: where you are strong and where you tend to stumble. You get out of it exactly as much as you put in.

Tarot cards have numbers too: the Major Arcana run from 0 to 21. The meanings in numerology and Tarot often echo each other, so once you understand the numbers the cards become easier to read.

Your numbers are already in place

All that's left is to read them. Your name, birth date, and minute of birth are enough for any calculation. Free and no sign-up required.
