Numerology Life Path Number
This is connected to the day, month and year of birth and is one of the most important calculations in a Numerology chart. It summarizes your life - the challenges, karma, lessons and general personality trends. More intricate Numerology utilizes the letters of your birth name, as well as current name. Calculate Life Path as follows:
August 15, 1963 Get each to lowest denominator (1-9, 11, 22 or 33):
8 (August month of birth) 8
15 (day of birth) 1+5 6
1963 (year of birth) 1+9+6+3 = 19 1+9 = 10 1+0 1
Life Path  8+6+1 = 15 1+5 6
If any of the three numbers being calculated are 11, 22, or 33 then this would be the lowest denominator. The final number will be 1-9, 11, 22 or 33. For instance:
November 29, 1802
11 (month of birth) (lowest denominator) 11
29 (day of birth) 2+9 (lowest denominator) 11
1802 (year of birth) 1+8+0+2 (lowest denominator) 11
Final number: (lowest denominator) 11+11+11 33 Life Path

This is also referred to as Life Path 33/6, depending on the free will choices of the individual. 

A note on the above numerology examples. When double, or triple numbers are in a numerology mix, this intensifies the number. It either intensifies functionally (expressing the positive side of the personality), or dysfunctionally (expressing the negative).

Numerology Life Paths-at-a-glance
For quick reference, the Numerology themes look like the following:
Life Path 1 The Leader
Life Path 2 The Inward Creator/Motivator
Life Path 3 The Informed Speaker/Communicator
Life Path 4 The Realist, Problem Solver, Builder of Order
Life Path 5 The Unending Talent
Life Path 6 The Responsible One/The Server
Life Path 7 The Source of Knowledge. Expert/Thinker/Analyze
Life Path 8 The Material Manifester
Life Path 9 The Humanitarian
Life Path 11 The In-the-Moment Intuitive
Life Path 22 The Material and Humanity Master

For more details, go to the more detailed section in BIRTH MIX PATTERNS (particularly books 1 and 2 and "Soul"utions) books in the Numerology section.
Numerology Personal Year Number
This is connected to the day and month of birth plus current year and gives you a feel for the trends you may experience during that calendar year. There are nine (9) Personal Year numbers to complete a growth cycle so if you live to be ninety-nine (99), you will live through eleven (11) Personal Year cycles. You calculate it as follows:
August 15, 2006
Current Year 2006 2+0+0+6 8
Birth Month 8 8
Birth Day 15 1+5 6
Personal Year 8+8+6 22 4

The lowest denominator for Personal Year calculation is 1-9.

Numerology Personal Years-at-a-glance
For quick reference, the Numerology themes look like the following:
Personal Year One New Beginnings and Opportunities
Personal Year Two Patience and Tact
Personal Year Three Social and Lighthearted
Personal Year Four Harvesting Opportunities
Personal Year Five Constant Change and Good Fortune
Personal Year Six Balancing Personal Growth and Relationships
Personal Year Seven Solitude and Rest
Personal Year Eight Material Rewards
Personal Year Nine Clutter Clearing
For more details, go to the more detailed section in BIRTH MIX PATTERNS (particularly book 1) books in the Numerology section.
Numerology Major, and Minor Sub-Lessons
Sub-lessons numbers show additional life lessons within your path, and is connected to your day of birth. For instance:
August 15, 1963
15 (day of birth) 1+5   6
The major sub-lesson is 6
The minor sub-lessons are 1, and 5.

With this particular birth date, the Life Path is 6, with a major sub-lesson of 6, and minor sub-lessons of 1, and 5. To further demonstrate the weight, or value of the lessons, say you have $20, $10, and $5 bills. The more money you have the higher gain in the physical. The Life Path is your $20 (your highest gain). The major sub-lesson is $10 (additional ways to manifest). The minor sub-lessons is $5 (a bit more to manifest).

Astrology Sun Signs-at-a-glance 
BMP connects to the day, and month of birth only (time, place, and year are not factors for this exercise). The sun is the core of the solar system, and sustains all other planets. While more intricate Astrology provides much more detail (including more planets), BMP focuses on our core of being, the ruling planet in our Astrology chart, the planet where we are most likely to come to terms with our true selves, and happiness.

Aries (Ram): 
March 21st-April 20th
The Charming Achiever
Taurus (Bull): 
April 20th-May 21st
The Stabilizer
Gemini (Twins): 
May 21st-June 22nd
The Witty Change Agent

Birth Order; Identifying with the family
This is connected to the order of birth, and role you played out within the family unit that raised you from infancy, and beyond. There are differing opinions on Birth Order theories. The following makes most sense when applying to my life experiences, and observations. It can be intricate as it takes into account years between births, gender, physical/mental strengths, and weaknesses (handicaps, body build, physical attractiveness...), size of family, adoption...
There are rules of thumb that a variety of experts embrace, and has helped me in my baseline work:
If the siblings are both five years, or more older, and younger than you (and/or no siblings are below you, or above you), you can take on Only child traits.
If you are second in birth line, but the sibling above you is of opposite gender, you are also First Born, but of the opposite gender, and can take on First Born patterns.
If you are second in birth line but the sibling above you is handicapped, has problems with physical attractiveness, or body build, you may take on the traits of First Born (switching Birth Order in essence).
If you are from a large family, the family units can run in fours (First Born number one and fourth born Youngest). 
Middle children are not always predictable. They can be the pleasers, or the rebels, but generally are negotiators.
Adopted children can become rebellious at any order (ownership factors), and birth dates are not always accurate to get a full baseline.
There are always exceptions to these rules and many, many, many opinions.
Here is a quick reference table:
First Born The Achiever
Only The Turbo Achiever
Middle The Negotiator
Youngest The Charmer

Acceleration Points; Finding common links in the BMP mix
This is when one, or more of the birth mix elements (Astrology, Numerology, and Birth Order) accelerate a particular personality theme or pattern. These can become life strengths, or challenges. For instance, a Leo can be very generous, Life Path 6 takes care of people, and First Born is the boss and, sometimes, organizer, caregiver, or parent of younger siblings. In this instance, the challenge is to not become an enabler by over caring (Leo, 6), having money problems due to generosity (Leo, 6). This combination can also result in being adored for being so giving (Leo, 6), and known for being reliable (First Born, 6). 
When working strictly with the numbers, if the month, day, and/or year are the same number this indicates that personality traits intensify to the positive or negative. Intensity also increases adding zero at the end of numbers (like 10, 20, and 30).
You’ll see many more examples of this in the case studies in the BIRTH MIX PATTERNS series, and Michelle has more detailed seminar material on this subject as well.
