How to Calculate Your Life Path

There are lots of ways of adding up numbers. Unless we work out the calculations using time proven methods, it is easy to miss hidden numbers, including Master Numbers. As numerologists, we need the right information. Your ability to interpret depends as much on the quality of the information you have, as your ability to understand it.

Let's calculate the Life Path Number as an example. The order for adding up a date of birth number is: month, day and finally the year. Using the example below, substitute your own birth date in place of the numbers I am using:

Many books and numerologists say to reduce the month, day and year to single digits first, and then add them together. The alternate method I'm describing here is used by Kevin Quinn Avery, who, along with Juno Jordan, is probably one of the most accomplished and knowledgeable of numerologists.
In the first few years of practicing numerology, I also reduced the month, day and year to single digits before adding them together. I sometimes found myself missing the more subtle aspects of a birth chart. I felt that, beyond my limited experience, I was lacking a piece of information about the chart.

So I started using the method shown by Kevin Avery, and soon discovered I had been missing a master number where one existed.
