Birth Numerology
The day we were born holds significant meaning to us—and not just because we find ourselves a little older. The exact day we were born directs not only our personalities but our attitude toward the world and what journey to we are destined to take. In your numerology portrait, three numbers—the birthday number, the life path number, and the attitude number—all come from the numbers in your date of birth. Unlike those that come from your name, your birth numbers cannot be changed, and therefore have a stronger hold over you. Curious about what your birthday says about you? Read on!

Birthday Number
The birthday number is simply that—the day you were born. The birthday number reveals how people see you at first glance; your first impression to the world. If your life path number is compatible with your birthday number, people can read you easily. But if your life path number is the total opposite of your birthday number, people will need more time to get to know you before they can really understand you. To get your birthday number, you simply use the day you were born. For example, if you were born on the 23rd, you would simply add 2 and 3 together for a birthday number of 5.

Life Path Number
As mentioned before, your life path number is the most important number in your numerology portrait. Similar to the sun sign in an astrology chart, the life path number is your identity and role in life—it is both you who are at your core and who you are meant to become. The life path number describes your journey in life and what lessons you have to learn. You may have five other numbers in your portrait, but this is the number that you'll feel the most and identify with the most. It is a number that cannot be changed and is with you for life.
We find the life path number by adding up all the numbers of our complete date of birth. For example, if we were trying to figure out the life path number of Frida Kahlo, we would take her birthday, July 6, 1907, and break it down: 7+6+1+9+0+7=30, 3+0=3. Frida Kahlo's life path number is 3.
