How do you calculate a Life Path number?

Add every digit in your date of birth and keep reducing until you reach 1–9, unless the total is 11, 22, or 33. Lunar Guide keeps those master numbers unreduced, matching the hub calculator.

Is Life Path the same as Destiny number?

No. Life Path comes from your birth date. Destiny / Expression comes from the letters in your full name. Read both if you want the journey and the toolkit.

Which Life Path numbers are master numbers?

11, 22, and 33. They are kept intact instead of reducing to 2, 4, or 6. Many people still feel the reduced digit as a quieter undertone.
