It is a system of our Soul’s Urge or Heart's Desire Number. It’s based on the ancient practice of numerology, which is a belief that numbers have a direct, divine relation to specific life events and happenings.
Everything is brought back to a single digit, because the belief is simple, life repeats patterns, not coincidence.
These numbers do not predict events.
They describe how energy moves through you.

1. LIFE PATH NUMBER (with meaning of each number)
The life path number is considered one of the most important and the influential numbers within your entire numerology chart. It indicates one's life path number from 1 to 9.
How to calculate
Add your full date of birth together.
Example:
07 / 08 / 2007
7 + 8 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 7 = 24
2 + 4 = 6
That final digit is the Life Path.
Whereas the Master Numbers 11, 22, and 33 are not to be reduced anytime they are found within the calculation, but are still written as 11/2, 22/4, and 33/6, just like any other Life Path Number would be to indicate both the single digit base number. So they rest on a base number, like a spine beneath the body.
11/2 → intuition and revelation (11) grounded in relationship and balance (2)
22/4 → vision made real (22) anchored in structure and discipline (4)
33/6 → spiritual compassion (33) expressed through service and love (6)
Meaning of each life path number:
Life Path 1 — The leader
You guys love to lead. You're a hard worker with a spirit for adventure and innovation. You learn by standing alone, often too early. Most also have a passion for art and could manifest really easily since you have a strong desire for everything and always be the number one of anything you do. You won't let anything get in your way of your dreams or your goals. However, your downfalls, you are quite critical of yourself and also on others. You expect the best from yourself and therefore everyone else around you too. You have a tendency to be self-centered and demanding. Because you are passionate about being the best, you can also sometimes come off as arrogant or boastful, but it's your desire to be successful.
Life path 2 — The harmony seeker
Think of all the twos in life that thrive in partnership and working with others. You feel before you act, you listen between words. You're very sensitive and in tune with the world around you. You're at your best self while helping others and working behind the scenes. You're great at details. You flourish when your focus is on serving the greater good of your pack or your group. However, you have a dependency and quiet resentment. You're a natural peacemaker and can see all views of any situation. But be careful, most people with this life path have so much love to give that you give and you give until it makes you withdraw with resentment and you have nothing left. It's important that you find purpose in your own way and not the way that you believe others would see you. Most of you are a pleaser and that's what often hurts you. You're afraid of being hurt and that usually causes you to avoid confrontation, which just results you in your own resentment toward the person or situation. Your lesson is to balance without disappearing, without avoiding. You guys are the harmony seeker. These people are important Human Resources in this world because they play a part in making harmony.
Life path 3 — The communicator
You guys are expressive, with a high level of creativity and playfulness. You can turn experience into story and pain into color. You guys are independent people and thrive in communication. And because of these communication skills, both verbal and written, would make you thrive as a poet, writer, actor, artist, or a musician. You are extremely generous and can always find a positivity in any situations. People around you always feel at ease and comfortable because of your playful self. You have a high potential for being successful in art fields and it'll settle you for a great career. However, your shadow side is because you live in the moment, you aren't very good with financial, stability and responsibilities. This could bring scattering energies and because you believe everything will work out for you, so you won't really worry about tomorrow. And when you are hurt emotionally, you can lash out and say harsh words without meaning it. You have to learn to speak the truth clearly, not theatrically. Don't avoid depth or mask your pain with charm.
Life Path 4 — The Foundation
You guys value structure, discipline, and endurance. You have the ability to build what only other people imagine. You guys are all about putting pieces together and making things work. Just like life path 1, you guys are a hard worker, super grounded, determined, and disciplined. They say you're the building blocks of society as you create foundation for other people to thrive on. People usually see you as very down-to-earth. And you love to be organized and have a plan. You could easily tackle any of your never-ending to-do list. Home is your heaven and you need everything in your home environment to be placed. You always have to be organized. If your home is messy and unkept, that's a clear sign that you are not doing well. Downfalls, your shadow side is that you have a lot happening in your mind, so it's important that you should find a way to relax your mind. Otherwise, great ideas will live and die in your head. You have many ideas at once and it's hard to grasp on what you actually want to pursue. You have a very strong sense of right and wrong. You value justice, honesty in yourself and others, but that can also lead to judgment towards yourself and others as well. Most people would think you come off as stubborn or too serious in most of times. You show your feeling easily and don't hold anything back, which can also turn other people away, but it's just because you guys are honest, blunt and straightforward. All of you are extremely cautious of everything, which can also cause you to miss out on great opportunities. With fear of change, you can become a prison guard of your own life. You need to learn to have stability without stagnation and don't overwork yourself.
Life path 5 — The free bird
Your number is represents freedom, movement, sensation, and change. Life teaches you through these changes, travels, and risk. You seek freedom above all else. These people love to be adventurous and could get bored or restless very easily. You always on-the-go wanting change and variety in your life. You love meeting new people, learning new experiences, trying new things, and living in the present moment. You don't like when you have to follow others or stay under people's, especially working for other people. You don't like repetitive, so you always have the need to strive for something new. Your desire for experience can manifest itself in so many ways. However, your shadow side is addiction, chaos, and running from yourself because if you don't live adventurously, you'll become very dramatic. You have a fear of being trapped or smothered in a relationship, so you can have a hard time trying to settle down. Your need for adventure keeps you distracted and unaware of the feelings of those around you. Although that makes you a carefree person, people might think you're not considerate of others. You're easily manipulative and controlling of others. It is your purpose to find balance in life and inner freedom through discipline, focus, and experience. Your lesson is to have freedom with responsibility. And it's really important.
Life path 6 — The nurturer
These people will have to make choices very often and it is necessary to make the right decisions in the face of emerging opportunities. Romantic relationship, family and home are the foundations for success. They like helping others. They need a partner who meets their expectations. They long for the harmonisation of their relationships. They are usually successful in their love life and marriage. However, it is necessary to find willingness to make compromises. They often have a talent for business and a sense for aesthetics and art. They should regularly take good care of their health. They emphasise the material side of life. It is very important to clarify what is good and what is bad, and understand that the purpose of challenges is to strengthen and check person's determination. Recognition and love, that improve self-confidence are very important. Weaknesses, what should be learned is to beware of hesitation, restlessness and intolerance. Beware of excessive desire for perfection and irritability.
Life Path 7 — The seeker
These people prefer mental work. They want to realise their potential and work hard in order to improve themselves. They need friendship in their life. Their marriage can be complicated because they want to be independent. There are unexpected changes in their lives. Do not force anything. In order to succeed it is necessary to communicate with others, experience life, and develop self-confidence. Friendships and relationships play a major role. Implementation of material goals is difficult, even if money come in unexpected ways. They are often diligent students; they may have rich spiritual life or go on a long journey. They feel good in the countryside, in the mountains or by the sea. These people may have different healing talents e.g. physical, emotional or spiritual. Weaknesses, what should be learned is to watch out for excessive pessimism and curtness. You need to learn to have faith, and if you don't, you'll turn very cynical and choose escapism through drugs, alcohol, or drowning yourself in work. People struggle to feel like they know you as you come off as eccentric. You can become easily frustrated and critical when you're out of alignment. Sometimes this person is too proud and inaccessible. Beware of loneliness and lack of realism. Impartiality is important.
Life path 8 — The force, or most people call the boss
You represent the power, ambition, and material wealth. You are here into this world to handle gravity, money, and authority, as well as consequences. You make a great job in business or political world because you have an excellent judge of characters that attract the right kind of people for you. You have a need and a strong desire for success, which makes you work diligently to achieve your goals, and prone to becoming a workaholic. These people might sometimes neglect their families and friends to pursue their goals or passion. Learn to work on balance and embracing the opportunities and lessons in life. Your shadow side is that you could be dominating, you have an obsession with control, and fear of vulnerability. Without financial security, you won't feel safe and comfort in life. You need to learn that power serves, not consume. You guys are people who dream big, so go for it.
Life Path 9 — The ending or The humanitarian
In numerology, the number 9 is the number of completeness. When I say the ending, it doesn't just mean that it ends. It means that it is completed, it is released. These people are natural born leaders and people assume that you are in charge even when you are not. You carry many lives inside one lifetime. You learn to take care of everyone else, but need to speak up when you need support or to love yourself. These people have a strong sense of compassion and generosity, and helping others is important to you. Your generator's generosity knows no bounds, and people around you feel comfortable. You are the type of people who have a goal to make a better world. However, you might easily burn out living in grief or in the past. You guys find it hard to let go of the past and might feel unloved or abandoned by your mother or fathers, which makes you feel responsible for them. Most of you also have to learn to be independent at a young age. This does not apply to all, but for most. You are pursuing materialistic gains other than your true self's sense of giving. You can feel deeply dissatisfied yourself and critical too. You need to learn to have compassion without self-destruction. Learn to conserve yourself and love yourself as well.
⸻ ⸻ ⸻
The life path number is one of the main important numbers within the numerology charts, but it is just one factor. In my future posts, I will be explaining on the soul expression or destiny numbers, heart's desire, soul urge number, personality number, altitude sun number, and karmic debt number. To think about it, everything that we're living in right now has already been written, and we are just living through it. However, these things that are written, these structures that are prepared for us, we still are the one with the controls on our lives and the future as well. Like they say, the cycle repeats again and again until you break it. You have to remember that you have the choice. You have the power to take control on your life.
