Arithmancers consider the Life Path Number to be the most important number in a chart. This number is to be followed to live a fulfilling life.

How to Calculate

To calculate this number you add up the digits of your full birth date. (Month + Day + Year.)

For example:

If you were born on January 16, 1967 Add 1 (January) + 1 + 6 (date) + 1 + 9 + 6 + 7 (year) = 31. 31 can still be reduced so we would then add 3 + 1 = 4.

We would say this person has a 4 life path.
