Your Birth
Number
The day of the month you were born — the simplest of your numbers to find, and the hardest to argue with.
Find your day
Your Birth
Of everything numerology looks at, this is the simplest to find: not the month, not the year — just the day of the month you arrived. It describes your inner self: the temperament you think with when nobody is watching, and the natural grain of who you are.
01The nine families
Find your family, then your day
Every day of the month belongs to one of nine families, set by the number it reduces to and the planet that rules it. Start with your family below — then open your exact day for the full reading. The 11th, 22nd and 29th carry master numbers and are kept as they are.
1
Birth Number 1 · The Individual
Ruling planet · Sun · Sunday
Leaders and originals — you think for yourself and would rather set the direction than wait to be told it.
2
Birth Number 2 · The Peacemaker
Ruling planet · Moon · Monday
The sensitive peacemakers — you read a room before a word is said, and your gentleness is a quiet strength.
3
Birth Number 3 · The Resilient Learner
Ruling planet · Jupiter · Thursday
Expressive and resilient — you learn by doing, turn setbacks into material, and come back wiser.
4
Birth Number 4 · The Systematic Builder
Ruling planet · Rahu · shadow planet
The builders — order, method and things made to last, with a real affinity for the technical and digital.
5
Birth Number 5 · The Free Spirit
Ruling planet · Mercury · Wednesday
Quick, curious and free — at your best where things keep changing, and faster on new ground than most.
6
Birth Number 6 · The Nurturer
Ruling planet · Venus · Friday
Warm and devoted — you notice what people need, care how things feel, and hold your circle close.
7
Birth Number 7 · The Seeker
Ruling planet · Ketu · shadow planet
The seekers — analytical and intuitive, always after the question underneath the question.
8
Birth Number 8 · The Powerhouse
Ruling planet · Saturn · Saturday
Built for weight — organisation, endurance and the capacity to hold what would flatten others.
02Not your life path
Your birth number is not your life path
These two get confused constantly, and they do different jobs. Your birth number is the day of the month alone — your inner self, the way your mind runs by default. Your life path comes from your full date of birth, and describes what you are moving toward.
