Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this “Life Path Number” thing lately, and I gotta say, it’s kinda wild. Today, I’m gonna walk you through how I figured out my number, specifically focusing on the number 38, which some people end up with.
First off, you gotta know your full birth date. Mine’s, let’s say, October 26, 1990, for example. You write that out numerically, so it’s 10/26/1990. That’s where we’ll start.
Next, you’re gonna add up all those digits, but you gotta do it in chunks. Start with the month. Since October is the 10th month, you add 1 + 0, and you get 1. Easy enough, right?

Then, you move on to the day. My example birthday is the 26th, so 2 + 6 equals 8.
Now, the year is where it gets a bit more involved. You add each number in the year individually. So for 1990, it’s 1 + 9 + 9 + 0, which totals 19. But you can’t have a double-digit number yet, so you add those two together: 1 + 9 equals 10, and again, 1 + 0 equals 1.
- Month: 1 + 0 = 1
- Day: 2 + 6 = 8
- Year: 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19; 1 + 9 = 10; 1 + 0 = 1
So now you’ve got three single-digit numbers: 1 (from the month), 8 (from the day), and 1 (from the year). Add those up: 1 + 8 + 1 equals 10. Now, if you get 10,11, or 22, you just leave it. So, 10 is okay.
But wait, I know some friends who got 38, and then they added that together to get 11, and then added those together to get 2. 3 + 8 = 11, and 1 + 1 = 2.
What this number means
The number 2 is supposedly all about cooperation, partnerships, and being sensitive to others’ needs. It’s like, you’re the peacekeeper of the group. 38 is interesting, it combines the creative and independent vibes of the 3 and the practical, business-savvy nature of the 8. People with this number are often seen as ambitious and good at manifesting their ideas into reality. But when you break it down to an 11, it adds a layer of intuition and spiritual insight. And then down to a 2? That’s where the teamwork and diplomacy come in.
Honestly, it’s all pretty interesting to think about. I’m still figuring out what all this means for me, but it’s definitely given me some food for thought. Maybe it’s a load of nonsense, but hey, it’s a fun way to look at yourself and your life, right?
