Determining your life path number is easy. You will add every digit of the day, month, and year you were born. Include 19 or 20 when born in those centuries. Often you will get a double-digit, sometimes a single one, especially if you were born after the 2000s and have few digits to add. If you get a double number, add it until you reduce it to a single digit. Take note of the double digits and look up their meaning, as they will also impact you, often seen earlier in life. Your life path number is the final single digit you come up with. However, stick with these if the second addition results in a 10, 11, or 12, as they are your life path number.
Here are some examples:
For someone born on 4/10/1974
4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 4 = 26
2 + 6 = 8
26/8
01/02/2000
1 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 0
5
9 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 8 = 37
3 + 7 = 10
37/10
You can use this same method to determine the number on your house, business, or residence.

People often find themselves drawn to renting or owning a place with a number that is compatible with their life path number. At times when the house number differs from your life path number, you can assess what energy you need to emulate or what you feel just by living there. Do not take the numbers so seriously that you feel bad if you don’t live in a home with your same life path number. This practice doesn’t support any superstitions or magical beliefs. Living in a specific place will not make or break you. The energy is subtle and regarded as one of a million elements shaping your life. I call myself Gypsy Oracle because I reluctantly found myself moving on average once a year in the first 15 years of my adult life. I noticed that on many of the homes I lived in, the number 5 was prominent. 5 is the number of change, so I always knew that it wouldn’t last long when I moved in. After a while, I came to accept it and laugh. I became more efficient at packing, moving, and letting go of unnecessary items. I knew I needed to experience change to such a massive degree because I was becoming someone completely different from what my family and hometown expected. The expectation was to stay stuck and serve them my energy. My higher wisdom told me to heal and serve a larger community that could match my healing level. I am currently in a 10 home and am a 10 life path number.
