Numerology is very similar to astrology. Instead of the stars and planets, it's centered around numbers, as it relates to personal details from your life, like your birthdate, names, and ideas.
Life Path & Destiny Numbers use this personalized information from your life to give you insights into the potential that you can create in your life. Here's how you find these numbers:
Life Path Number
You want to add the individual numbers of your birthdate until you get a single digit. This final number is your Life Path Number.
uses the numbers of your exact birthdate (the day you were born)
reveals the greater purpose for your life
EX) Your birthday is May 27, 2000
5 + 2 + 7 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 16 → 1 + 6 = 7
Your Life Path Number is 7
Destiny Number
You want to find out what numbers are associated with each letter in your name and then add them together until you get a single digit. Once you get a single digit for first, middle, and last name; you want to add those numbers together to get a single digit. This final digit is your Destiny Number.

2 = B, K, T 5 = E, N, W 8 = H, Q, Z
3 = C, L, U 6 = F, O, X 9 = I, R
EX) Your name is Cindy Lou Who
Cindy | 3 + 9 + 5 + 4 + 7 = 28 → 2 + 8 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1
Lou | 3 + 6 + 3 = 12 → 1 + 2 = 3
Who | 5 + 8 + 6 = 14 → 1 + 4 = 5
1 + 3 + 5 = 9
Your Destiny Number is 9
Life Path and Destiny Number do NOT change from year to year. But Universal Year and Personal Year numbers go through a rotation of nine-year cycles throughout your life. You can use this information to align your intention for the year around the theme associated with each number.
Universal Year
You add the four numbers that make up the calendar year and reduce it to a single digit to find the Universal Year Number.

overarching energy for the year that everyone in the world will experience
