Your Birthday Number and What It Reveals About You

In Numerology, it is said that your soul chose your birthday to reflect your personality, talents, challenges and more for this life so that you can achieve your destiny and keep advancing. It is of no coincidence that you are born on that exact year, month and day.

In this post, I will share on how to calculate your Birthday Number and provide the meanings for them.

How to Calculate Your Birthday Number

Your Birthday Number is the single digit from 1 to 9 representing the day of your birth. If you were born on the 1st to the 9th, your Birthday Number will be the same accordingly.

However, if your were born from 10th onwards, your birthday will need to be reduced to a single digit by adding the 2 digits together. For example, if your birthday is 15, you will need to add 1 to 5 resulting in a sum of 6. Therefore, the Birthday Number for someone born on the 15th will be 6.

For double digits, considerations will also need to be given to the individual digit forming the Birthday Number but the main Birthday Number will still be the reduced sum. A person born on the 15th and another on 24th both have the Birthday Number of 6 but the 15th person will have influences from 1 and 5 and the 24th person will be affected by 2 and 4 although the main vibration will still come from 6.
