The Birthday Number is a core number in numerology, alongside the life path number. It is derived from the day of the month you were born (reduced to a single digit), and it reveals a special gift or talent you carry from birth.
To find your Birthday Number, write out the day of the month you were born (reduced to a single digit), convert each letter to its numerology value (A=1, B=2 ... I=9, J=1 ... S=1 ... Z=8), add them all, and reduce to a single digit (unless it is a master number 11, 22 or 33).
