How to "Reduce" Numbers

In Pythagorean numerology we use only the single digit numbers 1 through 9, plus the double numbers 11, 22, and sometimes 33, 44, etc., which are called "Master Numbers". Any other numbers are "reduced" to one of these by first adding up the individual digits. For example: 1996=1+9+9+6=25. If the sum is still not one of these numbers, then add the individual digits again until you reduce it to a single digit number 1 to 9, or a master number 11 or 22. In our example 1996, we again reduce 25=2+5=7 to get the final "reduced" number. With 1993 =1+9+9+3=22 we do NOT reduce the 22 because it is a Master Number. But we can write 22/4 to also refer to its root number 2+2=4.

The "Year Number" and "Birth Year Number"

We reduced the date for the present year 1996 to a single digit number 7. This is how we determine the "year number" for any calendar year, including your own year of birth. Here are more examples: 1995=1+9+9+5=24=2+4="a 6 year". If born in 1948=1+9+4+8=22/4 then 1948 was "a 22/4 birth year".

The "Birthdate Number"or "Destiny Number"(also called the "Life Path Number")

Calculate SEPARATELY the "birth year number" and write it down, keeping any master numbers. Then write down the number of your birth month from 1 to 12 as follows: January=1, February=2, etc. For double-digit months, reduce them to single digits: October=10=1+0=1, November=11=1+1=2, December=12=1+2=3. Then write down the number of your birth date from 1 to 31, and reduce any double digits except 11 and 22. For example: the 21st of the month = 21=2+1=3 or the 12th = 12=1+2=3. Now add the three reduced numbers for year, month and day, then reduce that sum to a single digit number, unless it's a Master Number 11 or 22. This is your "Destiny Number" or "Life Path Number". Now do your own:

YOUR Birthdate........Birth Year.......Month..........Day in digits:

.....................1 + 9 + [...] + [...] ..... [...] + [...] .... [...] + [...]

Sum of digits.......... =[....] ........... =[....] ........... =[....]

Which reduces to.... =[....] ........... =[....] .......... =[....] (don't reduce 11 or 22)

Sum of all three is...... [....] .......... +[....] ............ +[....]=[....]=[...+...] (don't reduce 11 or 22)

Reduces to the "Destiny Number"...................... =[....]

The "Destiny Direction Number"

Here is where Numerology combines with Astrology. To your "Destiny Number" add your "Sun Sign number" according to the following table (your answer to "What's your sign?" e.g. Aries, Taurus, etc.):

ARI=1 or TAU=2 or GEM=3 or CAN=4 or LEO=5 or VIR=6 or LIB=7 or SCO=8 or SAG=9 or CAP=10 or AQU=11 or PIS=12

"Destiny Number" + "Sun Sign Number" = "Destiny Direction Number"

.................... [....] + [....] ................... = [....] = [....+....] = [....] (don't reduce 11 or 22)
