How numerology is calculated
Numerology reduces numbers to a single digit by adding them together, except for the master numbers 11, 22 and 33, which are kept.
Life Path example (born July 14, 1992):
- Month: 7
- Day: 1 + 4 = 5
- Year: 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 21 → 2 + 1 = 3
- Total: 7 + 5 + 3 = 15 → 1 + 5 = 6
Name numbers use the Pythagorean chart, where each letter has a value from 1 to 9:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A J S | B K T | C L U | D M V | E N W | F O X | G P Y | H Q Z | I R |
