Your life path is the sum of your entire birth date, reduced to a single digit (or a master number). It describes the central lesson and style of your life.
Example: born 14 November 1995 → day 1+4 = 5 · month 11 = 11 (master, keep it) · year 1+9+9+5 = 24 → 6. Total 5+11+6 = 22 — a master number life path.
The name numbers
- Expression (destiny) — every letter of your full birth name, converted to numbers (A=1 … I=9, J=1 …) and reduced. Your natural toolkit of talents.
- Soul urge (heart's desire) — vowels only. What quietly motivates you.
- Personality — consonants only. The first impression you give before people know you.
- Birthday number — just the day you were born, reduced. A specific gift you carry.

Your personal year — numerology's calendar
Add your birth day + birth month + the current year, reduce to a digit. That's the theme of your year: 1 years begin cycles, 5 years bring change and travel, 9 years close chapters. Knowing you're in a 9 year reframes endings as completion rather than failure.
