Life path number calculator

Your life path number comes from your birth date. Enter the date and the calculator reduces it with the Pythagorean method.


The method

  1. Reduce the month to a single digit. Keep 11 if the month reduces to 11.
  2. Reduce the day the same way. Keep 11 or 22 when they appear.
  3. Reduce the year the same way. Keep 11, 22, or 33 when they appear.
  4. Add the three reduced numbers, then reduce the sum once more. Keep 11, 22, or 33.

Example: July 15, 1990. The month is 7. The day 15 reduces to 1 + 5 = 6. The year 1990 reduces to 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19, then 1 + 9 = 10, then 1 + 0 = 1. Add 7 + 6 + 1 = 14, and 1 + 4 = 5. The life path number is 5.

The master numbers 11, 22, and 33 stay whole at every step. They do not reduce further.
