Using Numerology to Find Your Life Path Number

Have you ever noticed how certain numbers just seem to pop up everywhere? Maybe you always check your watch at the same time of day or find yourself drawn to a specific number on a receipt. It turns out that numerology can help you translate these patterns into a deeper meaning about yourself, explains numerologist Jessica Bender. This ancient practice boils down your name and birthdate to a number code that can identify unique characteristics and even life lessons.

To determine your number, start by adding up all the numbers in your birth date (don’t forget the month and year). If your final number is an 11, 22 or 33, it’s a master number and is said to possess special power and wisdom.

Your Life Path Number

If you’re a number 1, your Life Path is all about moving quickly and taking advantage of new opportunities before others have weighed their options. This can come across as impatience or short-sightedness to those around you, but it’s what drives people with this number to never stop pushing themselves to new heights.
