Two birth dates, one score out of 10, and the working shown underneath.

Date of birth A
Date of birth B

What this is

Numerology is not a science, and we are not going to pretend it is. Nobody has shown that the digits in a birth date affect who you get on with.

What we can do is be straight about the arithmetic. Every number here is computed, every rule is written down, and you can check all of it by hand. Most sites hand you a percentage and a paragraph about your soul. We would rather show you the sum.

Where to go next

One thing that surprised us

Life path numbers are not evenly spread. Life path 2 is under half as common as life path 5 — 4.6% against 11.1% — because 11 takes most of the dates that would otherwise reduce to 2. That falls straight out of the calendar and involves no opinion at all.
