EXERCISES:
- Calculate your own birth number. In your estimation, does it adequately-describe your fundamental nature? Does it tell you anything you know to be true about yourself, or is it describing a stranger?
- Share your result with someone you know, and whose judgement you trust. Do they think the number describes you accurately?
- Calculate the birth number of someone you know. Do it for more than one person, if you know their birth dates. Does it sound anything like them?
- Look at the compound number which generated your final number. Did it shed any additional light which made your main birth number make more sense?
- Look at the compound number which generated the final birth number for the other people whose birth numbers you calculated. Did it more closely define their main birth number, and what you know about them?

Very informative and helpful. I had known about the lifepath numbers, but I did not know if I was a 2 or an 11, because I didn’t know if there was a correct or better way of adding up the numbers. Thanks for clearing this aspect up! I’m happy to be an 11. 🙂
