Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this whole “life path” thing, and I stumbled upon something called “life path 36.” I was like, “What the heck is that?” So, I decided to dive in and figure it out. Here’s how it went down.
First, I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen – old school, I know. Then I jotted down my full birth date. It’s important to have the full date, month, day, and year, written out. It’s all gonna be used.
Next up, I started adding. I added up all the digits of my birth year, then the digits of my birth month, and lastly my birth day, until I got each of them down to a single digit.

Breaking It Down
- For the year, let’s pretend it’s 1990, I added 1 + 9 + 9 + 0, getting 19. Then I added 1 + 9, ended up with 10, and finally reduced it to 1 (1+0).
- Then I used the birth month to did the same,let’s say it’s 12(December), I added 1+2 and I got 3.
- For the day, if the day is 21, I added 2 + 1 which equaled 3.
Once I had those single digits for the year, month, and day, I added those together. Using my example above, that would be 1 + 3+ 3=7. I kept adding until I got it down to a single digit or a “master number” (11, 22, or 33). If you end up with one of those, you don’t reduce it further.
Now, here’s where the 36 comes in. I read somewhere that if your final number is 9, and your birth date somehow also involves a significant 3 and 6 (like, maybe your month and day add up to 9, or your year reduces to a 9 in another way), that’s where you might see the influence of this “36” thing, that number maybe a key to help you realize the path better, and ofcourse I checked mine with the 36, that is, 3+6=9. Looks like I did got the 36!
I’m still figuring out what all this means, though. I’ve been reading up on what a life path number 9 and also a life path number with 36 means, trying to see how it fits with my own experiences and personality. It’s all a bit woo-woo, but it’s kind of fun to explore. I’m just taking it one step at a time, seeing where this little experiment takes me. I wouldn’t make big decisions using that, I just want to find the pattern in the numbers of my birthday, kinda interesting, though.
