Pythagorean Numerology
Discover your Life Path number
Enter your birth date, get your Life Path (1–9, 11, 22, 33), then read what it means in plain English. No account needed.
What is a Life Path Number?
Your Life Path number is the core number we use on this site. It's calculated from your birth date using a consistent Pythagorean-style reduction.
Think of it as a quick "baseline pattern" for how you move through life—what feels natural, what you're here to learn, and what tends to trigger you under stress.
Then you make it personal by layering other numbers (Expression Number, Soul Urge Number, Personality Number) and timing (Personal Year Number).

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this calculator?
The calculation is deterministic: the same birth date always produces the same Life Path number.
We use Pythagorean-style reduction and preserve Master Numbers (11/22/33). See the Life Path Number guide for steps.
What are Master Numbers?
11, 22, and 33 — treated as "amplified" themes rather than reduced to single digits.
They don't mean "better." More sensitivity (11), more building pressure (22), or more service energy (33). Read the Master Numbers guide.
Can I calculate for others?
Yes — just enter their birth date. Read both people's pages, then compare what each needs under stress.
For a guided flow, use the Compatibility guide.
Pythagorean vs other systems?
Multiple traditions exist. This site uses Pythagorean for Life Path Number (birth date) and standard letter mapping for name numbers.
Name layers: Expression Number, Soul Urge Number, Personality Number.
