Your Life Path number is the most important number in numerology. It is derived from your full date of birth and describes your core nature — your strengths, the lessons you are here to learn, and the broad direction your life tends to take. It is calculated by adding every digit of your birth date together and reducing the total to a single digit (the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are kept as they are).
Your Destiny number, also called the Expression number, comes from the letters of your full name. In the Pythagorean system each letter maps to a number from 1 to 9. Adding them up and reducing the total reveals your natural talents, ambitions and the goals you are drawn to pursue.
