In numerology the most important number is the Life Path. This number will never change because it is based on the actual date of your birth. (To calculate your Life Path add all the numbers of the month, day and year of your birth, for example, 9+18+1973=2000 which is reduced to the single digit of 2.)
The theme of your Life Path number continues to repeat throughout your life. The way you respond to opportunities and challenges are influenced by your Life Path. All numbers exist on a continuum of positive to negative energy, so when you recognize and embrace the positive aspects of your Life Path you will be more inclined to understand the purpose of your life which can lead to living a more harmonious life.
