Life Path NumberAnuraag Purie
Your life path number, called Bhagyank in Indian numerology, is the sum of every digit in your date of birth. It is the most important number in your chart.

- Bhagyank

- Personal year

- Missing

The grid uses every non-zero digit of the date, plus the Bhagyank, plus the Mulank when the birth day is 10 or more. Schools differ on this; a consultation reads the full chart with your name.
How to calculate your life path number
Write your full date of birth and add every digit. Keep adding until you reach a single digit, except when the total is 11, 22 or 33.
Example: 23 November 1985 is 2+3+1+1+1+9+8+5 = 30, and 3 + 0 = 3.
Example with a master number: 29 July 1973 is 2+9+0+7+1+9+7+3 = 38, then 3 + 8 = 11. Eleven is a master number and is read as 11/2.
The calculator above does this for you and draws your Lo Shu grid at the same time.
