Hello, beautiful souls! I’m David, and welcome to this new blog post. Today we’re diving into the fascinating world of life path numbers. You’ve probably come across various methods on the internet for calculating your life path number. However, did you know there’s only one correct way if you want to know the specific companion numbers?
Let’s dive in and learn how to calculate your life path number and understand why doing it correctly is essential for living closer to your true self and utilizing your inner gifts better.
Understanding Life Path Numbers
Before we get into the calculations, let’s briefly discuss why life path numbers matter. Your life path number is derived from your birth date and can reveal significant information about your core essence, life purpose, and inherent traits. It can help guide you toward self-discovery and personal growth.
Why Companion Numbers Matter
Companion numbers add an extra layer of depth to your life path number. For instance, let’s say you feel like a 1, but you’re actually a 10-1. There’s a zero in your chart that plays a significant role. Or perhaps you’re a 459 — these details help us understand what type we truly are and live closer to our authentic selves.
Three Methods to Calculate Life Path Numbers
There are three popular methods you might find online for calculating your life path numbers. Let’s walk through each of them, highlighting why only one of them is correct.
Method 1: Adding the Entire Date Together
In this method, you add the entire date together.
Example Date: June 19, 1984
- Write the numbers down: 19 + 6 + 1984.
- Add them up:
- 1 + 9 = 10
- 6 stays as 6
- 1 + 9 + 8 + 4 = 22 (then 2 + 2 = 4)
Therefore, 19 + 6 + 1984 = 2009. But we need to break it down into single digits:
- 2 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 11 (and 1 + 1 = 2).
So, 2009 breaks down to 29, which then results in an 11, and finally down to 2.
BLOCKQUOTE: “Two plus zero is two. Two plus zero again is two, and two plus nine is eleven. But eleven is a master number, actually also a two. But we’ll omit that for now.”
Method 2: Adding Each Digit Individually
In this second method, each component of the date is added separately.
- 19 divided into individual digits: 1 + 9 = 10, and 1 + 0 = 1.
- The month 6 stays 6.
- The year 1984 is broken into 1 + 9 + 8 + 4 = 22, and 2 + 2 = 4.
So the equation becomes:
- 1 (from 19) + 6 (from June) + 4 (from 1984) = 11.
Thus, the final outcome again is an 11, which reduces to 2.
Method 3: The Correct Way
Now, let’s focus on the correct method, which is doing the full addition of all individual digits of the birth date.
- Start with the entire date written as numbers: 1+9+0+6+1+9+8+4.
- Add these together:
- 1+9 = 10
- +0 = 10
- +6 = 16
- +1 = 17
- +9 = 26
- +8 = 34
- +4 = 38
- Then 3+8 = 11.
This detailed breakdown shows the correct life path number is 11.
Delving Deeper: Understanding the Numbers
We’ve established that different methods might yield the same global life path number. But what’s fascinating is the detailed differences that can influence your chart. For example, an 11 (a master number) holds unique positions in interpreting your life path.
Master Numbers: 11, 22, and 33
Master numbers like 11 come with higher vibrations and more significant challenges. They often embody amplified traits of their base numbers.
BLOCKQUOTE: “The 11 is about double creativity and confidence but also has elements of numbers 2 and 9, such as cooperation, balance, integrity, and wisdom.”
Challenges and Growth
Every life path number, including its companion numbers, comes with its own set of challenges to overcome.
Example of 11
For an 11:
- 2 (Cooperation and balance): Often struggles with boundaries.
- 9 (Integrity and wisdom): Might face procrastination and spiritual disconnection.
Identifying Your True Path
To discover which path resonates most with you, reflect on your life experiences. Whether your life path is 11, 22, or another number, the journey involves overcoming the challenges posed by these companion numbers first.
Practical Tips for Calculation
Tools and Techniques
Using a calculator or even a pendulum can assist in determining your numbers. Pendulums, for example, can help confirm the accurate number if you’re uncertain.
Feeling the Resonance
If you’ve performed all three calculations, your final task is to identify which challenges and strengths resonate most with your life experiences. This method adds clarity to which path aligns with your true self.
