The day you were born bears great significance in understanding who you are and where your talents lie.
It is not reduced to a single digit number.
Your day of birth indicates some special talent you possess - a gift to you that will help you along your Life's Path.
Your Birth Day number is one of your five core numbers - along with your Life Path, Expression, Soul Urge (a.k.a. Heart's Desire), and Personality numbers.

It is a gift to you that will help you along your life’s path. Your day of birth is one of your five core cumbers, but perhaps the most finite in that it reveals a specific ability that you possess in a marked degree.
Your Birth Day number is the number of the day you were born, and its examined as both a single-and a double-digit number.
The reason for this twofold way of looking at the number is that a double-digit Birth Day number suggests that you possess additional characteristics not directly revealed by the single-digit number.
For example, a person born on day 15 can be said to have a 6 Birthday number, but the double digits, the 1 and the 5, suggest other abilities and character traits not revealed by the 6 alone.
The 15 reveals different underlying talents to the 6 than does the 24, which is derived from the 2 and the 4, also a 6, but is quite different in nature. This is particularly important when understanding the Birth Day number.

From Numerology Questions - a Dear Hans column:
Dear Hans,
I was reading your site on Numerology and specifically the section on repeating numbers. I find it common that people see repeating numbers such as 11, 22, 33, but I have been looking for information about dates that fall in consecutive sequence.
I have two children; one of them was born on June..., thus 6-5-4. I thought that was a neat date of birth to have, and how lucky I was to have this as a specific moment in time to be so memorable for me. Well my second child was then born on August ..., 8-7-6.
What are the statistics surrounding birth dates of this nature? Do they have any special meaning?
Jaded
-Ω-
Dear Jaded,
I have no idea what the statistics are for birth dates following any decreasing or ascending sequence of numbers. I would imagine that they are significant. Either way, it is fun and helpful, in case you ever get so busy or scattered that you might forget your child's birth date. (It is for that reason that I convinced my wife we should get married on Valentine's Day; it all but guarantees I won't forget to buy her flowers on our anniversary.)
As for the dates, their uniqueness is neither more nor less significant than any other date due to the fact that the month, day, and year are in a sequence - or would have been had your children been born two thousand years ago to the day.
Your first child was born 6/5/2004, a date that has a distinctive characteristic, not due to any rhythmic progression of numbers, but to the numbers themselves. Here is why. When the three units of month, day, and year are reduced to single digits, we get 6, 5, 6. Because the year, the third unit in the arrangement reduces to 6 (2004 =2+0+0+4=6, not 4, that would have been the case 2000 years ago).
When we do the birth date part of your child's chart, It would give us the following four Pinnacle numbers: 11, 11, 22, 3. A first and second Pinnacle, lasting from birth until age 42 in this case, ruled by the number 11 is very telling: He (or she - I am going to designate this child a "he" for convenience sake) will go through a lot of emotional and spiritual experiences (yes, young kids can have spiritual experiences too), very sensitive, but also very intuitive and aware.
This is a child that will be underestimated all throughout childhood and maturity, until at least age 40, but also never forgotten by anyone they come into close contact with. This individual leaves impressions wherever he goes, due to his unique ability to change people's perspectives. His sense of humor is different, his view on life is different, his imagination is different, everything about him is just different enough that, like the gravity of a powerful star, he will forever alter the orbit of anyone he gets close to.
And that is not all. His third Pinnacle, lasting from age 42 to 51, is 22. During that time, this always underestimated and slightly offbeat individual quickly and decisively comes to full bloom. There is no denying his superior intellect and wisdom any longer. Chances are that his career or business will be unique, perhaps even his own creation. By age 50 he will be a recognized and respected master of ... whatever it is he chooses to do.
A word of caution: He may have difficulty protecting himself during the early part of his life and become popular fodder for bullies and other dumb and insensitive kids, due to the fact that his superior intellect scares them on a primitive level. He may need a bit more protection against the cruelty of stupidity and ignorance than most kids.
Your second child was born 8/7/2006, and his birth numbers also reveal repetitive Pinnacles. However, his numbers are stronger and better prepared for life. In fact, this one may turn out to be quite fearless and confrontational, as well as more flexible and adventurous. A true dynamo and, by the time he reaches his mid-teens, a real talker and a bit flamboyant. He will be a late bloomer who goes through several different careers for the first few decades, not finding his niche until age 36 or 37. But don't worry about that, he will be fine. Just don't expect him to stay frozen in his first career choice, this kid is all about change and trying anything and everything.

Another question from the Dear Hans column:
Dear Hans,
My name is Logan, I am a 19/1, and have been interested in Numerology the past 2 years or so. But my question for you today is, with all the technology we have in knowing when a child will be born, and with doctors being able to prolong a pregnancy or schedule when the baby will be born (c-section), could this affect the baby’s life path journey?
Thanks for everything Hans,
Logan
Dear Logan.
The underlying premise of numerology, or any other form of Metaphysics, is that there exists a perfect synchronicity and connectedness underneath the physical/material world. Consider the word "perfect" used in the previous sentence. It means that there is no possibility of a fault, an imperfection, or anything random or accidental. In fact, when this subject comes up in a conversation, I like to point out that the only limitation of perfection is just that, the inability to make a mistake.
This is something that is easily accepted as a truth if you are so inclined, however, it is impossible to truly understand the full extent of this concept of perfection and infinity, with the limited capacity of the mind as your only tool.
Having said that, this concept accepts the fact that mankind has evolved to the point that it can "schedule" the birth day of a child as part of that same perfect synchronicity. Which, of course, also concludes that if a child under natural circumstances would have been born on, say the 12th, but the parents are in a hurry, or like the number 11, or the doctor is supposed to have the 12th off, and they decide to do a c-section that brings the child into this world a day early, that too is part of that same perfection that underlies all of creation. In the end, because the child was born on the 11th, that is the perfect moment for that child's birth, no matter what the circumstances.
