Finding your Life Path
Reduce your birth month, day and year separately, add them, and reduce the total, keeping 11, 22 and 33 as master numbers. July 16, 1995: 7, then 1 + 6 = 7, then 1 + 9 + 9 + 5 = 24 and 2 + 4 = 6; 7 + 7 + 6 = 20, and 2 + 0 = 2.

What the Life Path says about work
Numerologists read the Life Path as the temperament you bring to work: whether you start things or finish them, lead or support, work alone or in a crowd. The Expression number, from your name, adds the talents, and the Personal Year says when to move.
