How Life Path 7 is calculated
Life Path 7 is calculated by adding together every digit of a full birth date, then reducing the total to a single digit — with one deliberate exception: the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are left un-reduced because their doubled form carries its own meaning. Take the birth date 16 February 1996: its digits add up to 34, and reducing that total (34 → 7) lands on 7. Since the whole date feeds the total, the day, the month and the year all count, and changing any one of them can move the result to a different Life Path. Running this same two-step method on any birth date is how anyone finds whether 7 — or one of the other eleven Life Paths — is the number they were born under.
