What is a life path number?
For now, here’s how to calculate it.
Write out your full birth date (i.e., 1969 rather than just 69).
We’ll use the example March 29, 1969.
March 29, 1969 (or 3-29-1969), would give you: 3+2+9+1+9+6+9 = 39.
From there, 3+9 = 12, and 1+2 = 3.
This birthday has a life path number of 3.
