Numerology
Numerology reads meaning into the numbers in a birth date and a name. Caelumia uses the Pythagorean system, and the Life Path is the number it starts from.
What a Life Path number is
The Life Path is the number numerologists draw from a full date of birth, and most of them treat it as the most important number in a chart. It is read as the general direction of a life: the qualities a person grows into and the lessons that keep coming back.
The system is usually called Pythagorean, after the Greek philosopher who taught that numbers underlie everything. The method itself is modern. It took shape in the United States in the early 20th century, in books such as L. Dow Balliett's The Philosophy of Numbers (1908), and was standardized by later writers including Juno Jordan.
Caelumia reduces the month, the day and the year of birth separately, then adds the three and reduces again. The master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are kept whole wherever they appear. Other numerologists add the digits in a different order, which can give a different result for the same date, so it is worth knowing which method a reading uses.
