The Life Path Number (also sometimes called the Destiny Number in certain systems) is indeed calculated using your full date of birth (day, month, and year).
Clarification of Terms
- Destiny Number (Expression Number) → Derived from your full birth name (shows talents, life mission, personality).
- Life Path Number → Derived from your full date of birth (shows overall life journey, challenges, and destiny).
How to Calculate the Life Path Number (Often Confused as Destiny Number) ?
- Add the digits of your birth date (DD + MM + YYYY) until you get a single digit, unless it is a Master Number (11, 22, 33).
Example Calculation:
Birth Date: 15th August 1990 (15-08-1990)
- 1 + 5 = 6 (Day)
- 0 + 8 = 8 (Month)
- 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19 → 1 + 9 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1 (Year)
- Total: 6 + 8 + 1 = 15 → 1 + 5 = 6
- Life Path Number = 6
This Life Path Number defines your destiny, challenges, and life purpose. Some numerologists call it a Destiny Number, but the correct term for it is Life Path Number.
