According to numerology, a person’s life path is the most important number. A person’s innate talent and style are indicative of their worldview. They are on a current journey that shows them what challenges and opportunities they will face in life.
Your life path number can be listed as either a single digit or a double-digit based on your birthday. This is accomplished by adding the numbers for the month, the date, and the year.
Birth Day Number
The birthday number is the only digit not automatically broken down into two separate integers, which is why it is so important for understanding the special talents and characteristics an individual possesses. The Birth Day number relates to the Expression number, the Heart’s Desire number, and the Life Path number. It is the only one with a finite number.
The Challenges
Everyone’s life path is shaped by four challenges that each carry a specific lesson. In some cases, there is a similarity, and in others, there is a difference. Our weaknesses become our strengths and we improve our nature by turning them into strengths. During specific phases of a person’s life, challenges one, two, and four, will need to be overcome. Number three is a lifelong challenge.
You have to subtract your birth date from four in order to determine your challenge numbers. By subtracting the date and month of your birthday, you can calculate challenge number one. By subtracting the birthday from the year, we can determine the second challenge. Three challenges are found by dividing one by two, and four are found by taking the month from the year.
The Pinnacles
A pinnacle, or cycle, is a milestone that marks the apex of our life path. A person’s character and sense of self are developed from birth to about age thirty-five, which is peak one. Three peaks represent our midlife, where we are at our most mature, and two are our family life pinnacles.
At the pinnacle of your life, you are rewarded for your life. These summarize the conditions and the challenges you can count on for the time frame. There will be many life-changing events that occur during your pinnacles, so you will be able to tell when they are shifting. This is the one to two that people feel the most keenly, and it is here that maturity is gained.
A person’s date of birth is used to determine the pinnacles. One digit of pinnacle one is determined by adding together the month and day, then subtracting one. To find the second one, add day and year together and take it to the smallest number possible. Adding the months and years yields four, which is the result of summarising one and two.
Personal Year Cycle
Every person’s life path revolves around a nine-year cycle. Depending on where a person is in that cycle determines how that particular year will affect his or her life. As you are born, the clock starts at one year and it resets every year. There are different lessons learned and opportunities presented with each of these nine-year cycles. Life’s every stage of development and maturity takes place during each year of the cycle.
