Pythagorean/3 Cycle Method Results

This method is considered more accurate and is used by most professional numerologists. It recognizes Master Numbers within the calculation, gives consistent results across all date ranges, and ties in with the way the rest of the numbers within our numerological chart are calculated.

Example Calculation: Date of Birth – May, 18, 1970 = 5 / 18 / 1970
Life Path = 5 + (1 + 8 ) + (1 + 9 + 7 + 0) = 5 + 9 + 17 = 5 + 9 + 8 = 22

Straight Addition Method Results

This is a much simpler way of doing the calculation, and depending on which decade we look at, we see great variations in the number of master numbers being calculated. This method is much more inconsistent, does not recognize master numbers within the calculation, and should not be given preference over the stricter Pythagorean method.

Example Calculation: Date of Birth – July, 29, 1964 = 7 / 29 / 1964
Life Path = 7 + 2 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 4 = 38 = 11/2

Hybrid Addition Method Results

This third method is somewhat of a hybrid of the 3 Cycle and Straight addition method. We feel it is a deprecated method and shouldn't be used at all. Amongst other things, there is no way for this method to get a Master number 33 (at least for the next few thousand years). This might be the reason why the number 33 was previously not considered a master number by some numerologists.

Example Calculation: Date of Birth – July, 29, 1964 = 7 / 29 / 1964
Life Path = 7 + 29 + 1964= 2000 = 2
