Life path number
Add every digit in your birth year, month and day. If the total has two or more digits, keep adding its digits together.
July 24, 1990
1+9+9+0+0+7+2+4=32
3+2=5
Keep 11, 22 and 33. For January 8, 2000, the digits total 11, so the calculation stops there. A total of 44 reduces to 8. Results may differ from methods that reduce the year, month and day separately.
Name number and letter values
The name number is an expression number that uses all vowels and consonants. Convert each Latin letter to its value below, add the values and reduce the total using the same rules.
Pythagorean letter values| Number | Letters |
| 1 | A・J・S |
| 2 | B・K・T |
| 3 | C・L・U |
| 4 | D・M・V |
| 5 | E・N・W |
| 6 | F・O・X |
| 7 | G・P・Y |
| 8 | H・Q・Z |
| 9 | I・R |
HANA: H8+A1+N5+A1=15 → 6
Capitalization, name order and spaces do not change the total. If you compare your birth name, current name or former surname, check the spelling recorded on each saved card.
Personal years for 2026 and 2027
Add the digits of your birth month and day to the digits of the year you want to explore. Your birth year is not used.
Born July 24
2026: 7+2+4+2+0+2+6=23 → 5
2027: 7+2+4+2+0+2+7=24 → 6
The selected year is read as one period from January 1 to December 31. There is no birthday-based adjustment. Personal year calculations also keep 11, 22 and 33.
Compatibility and your shared theme
Add both people's life path numbers and reduce the total. The results also show each person's number separately so you can distinguish them from the shared theme.
January 1, 1990: 21 → 3
June 15, 1992: 33
Shared theme: 3+33=36 → 9
For 9, you might discuss what you want to support or which commitments to revisit. The number does not indicate a relationship's chance of success. Give priority to conversations about your actual feelings and circumstances.
