  1. Step 1

    Write out your numerical birthdate, putting a plus sign in between each single number. For example: 04/29/1981 = 4+2+9+1+9+8+1

  2. Step 2

    Add the numbers up.For example: 4+2+9+1+9+8+1 = 34

  3. Step 3

    If the sum of the numbers is greater than ten, add the result again.For example: 4+2+9+1+9+8+1 = 343+4 = 7Note that if you are a ten, you take on the essence of both the one and zero. In some examples, tens are highly creative, independent individuals.
