Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “life path number” thing popping up all over my socials, and, like, I’m always up for a little self-discovery, so I decided to jump in and figure out what mine was. I’m no expert, so bear with me as I tell you my amateur experience!
Figuring Out My Number
First, I had to, you know, actually calculate the darn thing. The basic formula I found was pretty easy: add up all the digits of your birth date until you get a single-digit number or master number. My birthdate is October 11th, 1990.
- I started with my month and wrote out the number 10.
- Then the day:11.
- Finally add the year, which I added each number like this: 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19.
Now for the fun part, to break all down and make all numbers a single number, if possible.

- Month: 1 + 0 =1
- Day: 1 + 1 = 2
- Year: 1 + 9 = 10 ; 1+0=1
Then add the total of each section, month, day, and year.
- 1 + 2 + 1= 4
So, I got a 4!
Checking out the Life Path 39.
I found that the 39 isn’t actually one of the core Life Path Numbers. And to be honest, I couldn’t find too much about the 39 as a life path number. Usually, you reduce it all the way down! Most sites only talk about 1 through 9, plus the “master numbers” 11, 22, and sometimes 33. Because I am life path number 4. I will continue to learn my about Life Path Number 4.
The main focus, for me, was just to find a bit of fun, a bit of direction, or perhaps I have to dig a little deeper, this whole numerology thing is way more complicated than I initially thought. But hey, it was a fun little exercise, and that’s what counts, right?
