It’s in the numbers - The Birth Number

To calculate your number use your date of birth reduced to a single number.
Thus, a person born on 16 November 1945 would have a birth number of 1
calculated as follows;

1 + 6 + 1 + 1 (November is the 11th months) + 1 + 9 + 4 + 5 = 28

Being a composite number, 28 is broken down to 2 + 8 = 10

And 10 being a composite number is broken down to 1 + 0 = 1
