The life path is the sum of your birth date. This number is reduced to a primary number so that you can determine your native traits that will carry you through your life.Your journey through life is guided by your life path number.
You must add all of the numbers of your birth date together and reduce them down to a single primary number. Here is an example of how to breakdown a birth date:
Bill Gates – Birth Date 10-28-1955
If you choose to consider the master numbers, you can stop reducing the compound numbers when you arrive at the master numbers, 11 or 22. Example: Bill Gates, born 10-28-1955, has a birth date that adds up to 1993. 1993 reduces to 22, so he would a good example of the 22/4.
