Tarot Popularity Has Increased Significantly Over the Past Year

The day you were born says a lot about who you are and where you’re going in this life. In numerology, your birthday can also reveal insights into your past life by date of birth and the lessons you still carry forward. Pythagoras believed that every number carries energy, and the combined vibrations of the numbers in your life shape who you were, are, and will become.

The numbers in your birth date reveal hidden clues to lessons missed in past lives. In numerology, it is believed that our souls are core, but our bodies reincarnate many times in order to further evolve. With each life, new experiences bring growth, but mistakes and past actions also leave behind imbalances.

Along the way, we make mistakes and abuse our natural gifts. Using your birth date, we’re able to identify whether your numerology chart contains one of four important Karmic Numbers. The numbers 13, 14, 16, and 19 are Karmic Debt Numbers, which indicate areas of your past lives that may still need attention. Understanding these past mistakes allows you to balance and heal the karma in your present life.

How to Calculate Your Karma Numbers

There are four Karmic Debt Numbers: 13, 14, 16, and 19. Each one highlights a specific life lesson connected to past actions. To find your Karmic Number, look at three key areas in your numerology chart:

Past Life by Day of Birth

If you were born on the 13th, 14th, 16th, or 19th, then this is your karmic number. This suggests your birthday carries imbalances from previous lives that may still influence you today.

Being born on a karmic date suggests you entered this lifetime with specific challenges to work through. Each number carries a slightly different meaning:

• 13/4 – linked to discipline and responsibility, this number asks you to overcome procrastination or lack of focus.
• 14/5 – tied to freedom and balance, it challenges you to avoid overindulgence or misuse of personal power.
• 16/7 – connected to relationships and humility, this number teaches acceptance and warns against arrogance or over-dependence.
• 19/1 – about independence and personal strength, it highlights the need to overcome selfishness or misuse of authority.

Personality Number

Your personality number signifies the energy that you project to the outside world, as well as how others are most likely to interpret it. This is not your true self, but an indicator of what you allow to be seen at the beginning of a relationship. There are multiple ways to find your personality number; however, we choose to focus on adding your day of birth to your birth month. For example:

To calculate this number, add your day of birth to your birth month. For example:

• Birthday: May 5
• Calculation: 5+5=10=1+0=1

If your personality number is found by one of the following ways, then this is your Karmic Debt Number:

• 4 (13=1+3=4)
• 5 (14=1+4=5)
• 7 (16=1+6=7)
• 1 (19=1+9=10=1+0=1)

Life Path Number

Your life path number represents your true self and direction in life. It is one of the most important core numbers in numerology. To calculate it, add all the digits of your full birthday together until you reach a single digit or one of the master numbers (11, 22, 33).

Example: If your birthday is April 4, 1955, then:

• Day: 4
• Month: April is the fourth month = 4
• Year: 1955 = 1+9+5+5 = 20 = 2+0 = 2

Therefore:

• 4+4+2 = 10 = 1+0 = 1

The Life Path Number here is 1. If your Life Path reduces to a double-digit number that matches 13, 14, 16, or 19 before being broken down to a single-digit number, you have a karmic debt. For example, 16/7 shows the number 16 first, then reduces to 7.

Karmic debt numbers can also appear in other core numbers within a numerology chart, but the Day of Birth, Personality Number, and Life Path Number are the most common places to find them.
