\text{Life Path} = \text{Reduce}(\text{Month}) + \text{Reduce}(\text{Day}) + \text{Reduce}(\text{Year})Each element of the birth date (month, day, year) is individually reduced to a single digit or master number, then summed together and reduced again.
Worked Example
Scenario: Calculate the Life Path Number for someone born on July 24, 1995 (07/24/1995).
Month: July = 7.
Day: 24 = 2 + 4 = 6.
Year: 1995 = 1 + 9 + 9 + 5 = 24 -> 2 + 4 = 6.
Sum of components: 7 + 6 + 6 = 19 -> 1 + 9 = 10 -> 1 + 0 = 1.
