Some are making detours into other tracks leading away from the path, tracks which appear to offer rich satisfaction, yet resolve into nothing more than a confirmation that we have only one true path and we need to discover what this is to really find true bliss.
What is your special path in life? Do you know where you are going and what your destiny is? Life Path Numbers can shine a light into the sometimes murky waters of the soul and illuminate the way.
How To Divine Life Path Numbers
In Two Simple Steps
The first step is to simply take your full date of birth, write it down numerically and then add all of these numbers together. For example, if we take the birth date of January 2, 1986 and write it numerically and add these numbers together:2 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 6 = 21
Then we would add these remaining numbers together to find the Life Path Number:
2 + 1 = 3
So in this example the Life Path Number is 3.
