This number represents what we should be doing in life, the path in life we are meant to take. When we are doing what we are meant to be doing we are going to succeed, we feel happy and successful. When we are unaware of what our destiny is, or unwilling to follow it, then we are more likely to fail and feel unhappy. If you realise you haven’t been fulfilling your life path, now is the time to change.

To work out your Life Path number add up the numbers in your date of birth.
If a number has 2 digits – add them together
Except if your final number is 11.

Example
Date of Birth: 23 October 1963  (23/10/1963)

Day: 23 =  2+3 = 5

Month: 10 = 1+0 = 1

Year: 1963 = 1+9+6+3 = 19
19 = 1+9 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1

5 (day) + 1 (month) + 1 (year)  = 7 Life Path number
