Your life path number is calculated from your birth date. It's meant to reveal something about your natural tendencies, your challenges, and the direction your life is inclined to take.
Most methods add together every digit in your full birth date, then reduce the result to a single number. Each resulting number, from 1 through 9, carries its own traditional meaning.
Kabbalah approaches numbers a little differently. Rather than birth date alone, it also draws on gematria, the numerical value of your name's Hebrew letters, and the Hebrew calendar date you were born. Together, these offer a richer, more personal picture than a birth date calculation alone.
Not quite. A life path number comes from your birth date. Gematria comes from your name's letters. In a Kabbalistic reading, both are considered together, since name and birth date are understood as two different signatures of the same person.
My Light Path combines your name, your birth date, and your Hebrew birth date into one personalized reading, rooted in Kabbalistic tradition rather than a single calculation alone.
