Life Path Number
This may be a commonly known number. Your life path number is the sum of the digits of your birthdate reduced to a single digit. Before we get into it though, there is something that we need to address… master numbers.
Master Numbers
Master numbers are same number double digits (example 11). This amplifies the energy of the single digit. Although there are nine, the focus here is on the first three. The significance of these has been unlocked for a long time.

The significance of the rest will be unlocked when they are meant to. Has the fourth (#44) and fifth (#55) been unlocked? As with most things there are differing opinions or beliefs about master numbers. There are also differing methods when it comes to the use of them. I do not reduce master numbers and there is a reason for it. The reason being, if you have a master number in your birthdate by not reducing it, you can see where it appears and the significance that carries.
Calculating Your Life Path Number
Example: 11-3-1975
Month
11
Day
3
Year
1 + 9 + 7 + 5 = 22
11 + 3 + 22 = 36
3 + 6 = 9
Life Path Number is 9
If your life path number is a Master Number, it means that not only do you have the energy and traits of the Master number but you also have influences of the energy and traits of the single digit number the Master number reduces to. In other words, you can carry energies and have traits of the reduced single digit number as follows 11/2, 22/4 and 33/6.

Life Cycle Numbers
There are 2 life cycles to explore that work hand in hand:
Period Cycle
The month, day and year numbers of your birthdate each represent a period cycle in your life. These numbers signify the energy that the period is influenced by not the length of it.
Month = 1st period cycle
Day = 2nd period cycle
Year = 3rd period cycle
Using the example birthdate 11/3/1975:
the 1st period cycle would be influenced by the energies of the number 11
the 2nd period cycle influenced by the energies of the number 3
the 3rd period cycle influenced by the energies of the number 22
Length of Each Period Cycle
The length of the first period cycle is based on your life path number (see the chart below). The length of the second period cycle is about 27 yrs. This makes the length of the third period cycle the rest of your life.
Life Path # 1 = 35 yrs
Life Path # 4 = 32 yrs
Life Path # 7 = 29 yrs
Life Path # 11 = 34 yrs
Life Path # 2 = 34 yrs
Life Path # 5 = 31 yrs
Life Path #8 = 28 yrs
Life Path # 22 = 32 yrs
Life Path # 3 = 33 yrs
Life Path # 6 = 30 yrs
Life Path # 9 = 27 yrs
Life Path #33 = 30 yrs
Using the example birthdate 11/3/1975, this chart shows the period cycles:
| Period Cycle | 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
| Length | LP9 = 27 yrs | 27 yrs | rest of life |
| Age | birth – 27 | 27-54 | 54- death |
| Energy Influence | #11 | #3 | #22 |
Pinnacle Cycles
These four cycles are more like indicators of what may be encountered such a change.
Use the following formulas to calculate yours:
1st Pinnacle Cycle = sum of the birth month & birth day
2nd Pinnacle Cycle = sum of the birth day & birth year
3rd Pinnacle Cycle = sum of the 1st & 2nd pinnacle cycles
4th Pinnacle Cycle = sum of the 1st & 3rd period cycles
Length of the Pinnacle Cycles
The length of the 1st pinnacle cycle is about the same as your 1st period cycle.
The length of the 2nd pinnacle cycle is 9 yrs.
The length of the 3rd pinnacle cycle is also 9 yrs.
The length of the 4th pinnacle cycle is the rest of life.
| Using the example: 11/3/1975 | Formula = Energy Influence # | Age |
| First Pinnacle Cycle | 11+3=14,reduce to #5 | birth to 27 yrs |
| Second Pinnacle Cycle | 3+22=25, reduce to #7 | 27 yrs – 36 yrs |
| Third Pinnacle Cycle | 5+7=12, reduce to #3 | 36 yrs- 45 yrs |
| Fourth Pinnacle Cycle | 11+22=33, no reducing #33 | 45 yrs – death |
