How to calculate the Life Path Number for May 8, 1972

To find the Life Path Number for May 8th, 1972, you will need to calculate the root number. In other words, you will need to reduce the numbers "1972 5 08" down until you are left with a single digit number.

11, 22, and 33 are the only double-digit numbers that are allowed. This is because they are considered to be master numbers.

May 8th, 1972

This date of birth consists of the numbers 1972, 5 (for May), and 8.

Take a look at the following example.

Reduce the year 1972 down into one digit

Let's start with the year, which is 1972. We need to break this number down into one digit or one of the master numbers (11, 22 or 33).

To do this, we can "break" the numbers in 1972 apart and then do some simple addition:

1 + 9 + 7 + 2 = 19

In this case, we are still left with two digits. Therefore, we will need to break 19 down even further:

1 + 9 = 10

As you can see, 1972 became 10.

Unfortunately, in this case, we still have two digits. Consequently, we will need to break it down again:

1 + 0 = 1

Finally, we are left with the number 1.


Reduce the month May

Now, let's move onto the month, which is 5 (May).

As you can see, 5 is already a single-digit number. As a result, we do not need to reduce it.

So far, we have the number 1 for the year and the number 5 for the month. Now, we will need to move onto the next step and break down the day.


Reduce the day of the month into a single-digit as well

In the case of May 8th, 1972, the day of the month is obviously 8.

8 is already a single digit. This means that we can leave it as it is. We can simply move onto the final step.


Final Step: Add 1, 5, and 8 together and then calculate the Life Path Number

We have 1 for the year, 5 for the month, and 8 for the day. Now, let's the calculate the final result, which will be our Life Path Number.

Start off by adding the three numbers together:

1 + 5 + 8 = 14

Because 14 is a two-digit number, we will need to reduce it even further:

1 + 4 = 5

And that's it! We have now calculated the "root number".

We can now conclude that 5 is the Life Path Number for May 8th, 1972.
