Your "born number" can refer to several different things, depending on the context. There's no single universally recognized "born number." Let's clarify what you might mean and how to calculate it.
1. Birth Number (Numerology):
This is the single-digit sum of the day of your birth. For example:
- Born on the 14th: 1 + 4 = 5. Your birth number is 5.
- Born on the 28th: 2 + 8 = 10; 1 + 0 = 1. Your birth number is 1.
This method reduces your birth date to a single digit for use in numerological calculations, as described in several sources (numerology.com, india.com, quora.com).
2. Life Path Number (Numerology):
This is a more complex numerological calculation. It involves reducing your entire birthdate (day, month, and year) to a single-digit or "Master Number." Vogue India and numerology.com explain this process. This number is then used for different interpretations regarding your life path.
3. Social Security Number (SSN):
In the United States, a Social Security Number (ssa.gov, faq.ssa.gov, uk.usembassy.gov) is a unique nine-digit number issued to citizens and permanent residents. It's used for tracking earnings and benefits and is not a "born number" in the same sense as the previous examples. You apply for an SSN, you are not assigned one at birth.
Therefore, to accurately answer your question, please specify which "born number" you're referring to.
