It's that time of the year again! Are you stuck for that perfect gift to give your loved one? Numerologist Max Coppa takes the headache out of the festive season with the perfect gift-giving guide based on your numerology.
To find your life lesson number, simply add together all the digits in your date of birth, then break it down to a single digit.
For example:
Date of Birth 11.3.1975 = 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 5 = 27 = 2 + 7 = 9.
If you have any trouble working out your life lesson number, please visit Max's website
