Frequently asked questions
What is a life path number?
It is the most important number in numerology, found from your full date of birth. It describes the themes and strengths that numerology links with your path through life.
How do I calculate my life path number by hand?
Reduce the month, day and year of your birth each to a single digit (keep 11, 22 and 33). Add the three results and reduce again, again keeping master numbers. Example: 15 August 1995 gives 8, 6 (1+5) and 6 (1+9+9+5=24, 2+4=6), so 8+6+6=20, then 2+0=2. Life path 2.
What are master numbers?
11, 22 and 33 are called master numbers and are not reduced. Numerology treats them as more intense forms of 2, 4 and 6.
What are the expression, soul urge and personality numbers?
They come from your name using the Pythagorean letter chart. Expression uses all letters, soul urge uses vowels, and personality uses consonants. We treat Y as a consonant to keep it simple.
Which name should I use?
Traditionally the full name on your birth certificate. You can also try the name you use every day for fun.
Is numerology accurate?
Numerology is a tradition and a game with numbers, not a science. Use it for fun, and do not make important decisions because of it. ViralScopeHub takes no responsibility for decisions made from this page.
