WHAT THE DIAMOND CHART REVEALS
The Diamond Spirit Guide is one of the oldest number-based methods of divination and perhaps the most powerful tool numerology has to offer. It reveals the chain of cause and effect that connects your physical and non-physical planes. It tells us how your experiences, choices, and priorities in the physical world affect your internal/spiritual growth, and how, in return, this affects the quality of your life on the physical plane.
An incomplete, rudimentary version of the Diamond was brought back from obscurity by the late Kevin Quinn Avery and later completed and re-birthed by Hans Decoz.
Each Diamond pattern consists of four numbers. The first is called the Challenge. Your Challenge is a lesson or test that, once learned, will benefit you for the rest of your life.
The second number is the Root or Cause and explains the underlying reason that lesson has emerged. The third number, the Recommended Action (also called Action Key), gives advice on the best approach for a successful outcome. The final number - aptly named the Outcome - reveals what the likely result of your efforts will be, and how it might affect your future.
Except for ages 0 through 7 and 75 through 81 we experience two Diamonds per year from birthday to birthday. These two Diamonds overlap and are equally important; they fit together as if working on one helps us understand the other.
Although most Diamonds are in place only for one year, it's not uncommon for one or both Diamonds to repeat the following year. Often one number - usually the Challenge number - lasts for more than one year, while the other three numbers change. Finally, a number that is the Cause one year becomes the Action Key for the next. The Diamond's structure is complex but also logical and beautiful.
A word of advice: getting the most out of your Diamond requires some measure of self-reflection, not unlike the I Ching. I recommend that you read it more than once, then let it simmer. You may be surprised at the amount of insight you gain.
Your report covers two years/ages from birthday to birthday. To avoid distraction, you may want to postpone reading the Diamonds for the second year until a couple of months before your next birthday, or if you do read them, go back to the two for your current age and focus on those.

THE FIRST DIAMOND
The first number in your Diamond is of a decidedly spiritual/inner nature. It's offered to you in the form of a challenge; something that needs to be learned or acquired to help you grow and mature. It reveals the true purpose of your struggle on the physical plane from a broad vantage point.
Your First Diamond Challenge for age 46 is 0
A Challenge is one of the few calculations in a numerology chart that can produce a zero. Of the nine possible challenges, the zero challenge is perhaps the most important because it directly affects the well-being of humanity on a global scale. As if to emphasize this, it is also the most commonly found lesson and very likely to occur more than once during your lifetime (an average of three to six times).
Compassion, empathy, brotherhood/sisterhood, and unity lie at the foundation of your 0 Challenge. However, this challenge has less to do with emotionality than with an intellectual and basic recognition that every human being deserves your respect, your love, and perhaps at some point, your personal sacrifice. The potential growth and fundamental improvement inherent in this challenge has the potential to affect not only you, but also the global community.
You will likely experience more than your share of confrontation and turmoil. Events and circumstances require you to choose between opposing energies, such as love or hate, empathy or cruelty, sacrifice or apathy. You witness incidents of injustice and are challenged to choose between getting involved or walking away.
The zero challenge is about taking a stand and responding with courage, more than it is about good and evil. The choices you make during this period define you in countless ways.
The 0 challenge in a Diamond reflects the most primal struggle any man or woman can face. It makes this both difficult and easy; difficult because the easy way out can be tempting; easy because there is nothing subtle about the choices facing you.
YOUR FIRST DIAMOND CAUSE
The second number in your Diamond reflects the underlying cause of the challenge you face this year. It is the catalyst that sets things in motion, the root of the issues confronting you during this period.
The Cause for your First Diamond is 6
John, when the 6 appears as the second number in your Diamond pattern, it points to an issue with family, friends, or a romantic partner. (More often than not romance plays a role.)
There may have been a disconnect recently between what you felt and what you thought you should be feeling. or were expected to feel. The issue was probably not that love was absent, or not reciprocated, but a lack of clarity.
It is also not uncommon to find the issue of sexuality at the root of this Diamond, related to confusion over blurred lines between the emotional versus the physical expression of love.
THE RECOMMENDED ACTION FOR YOUR FIRST DIAMOND
The third number in the Diamond pattern suggests a possible course of action to resolve successfully the issues facing you during this period.
The Recommended Action for this Diamond is 9
John, a 9 in this position asks you to devote extra time and attention to your heart, rather than your mind. During this period, you will attain the best results by being less practical and more idealistic. While this may seem a contradiction, it makes sense when viewed from a broader perspective.
Sometimes we set goals for ourselves hoping they will bring comfort and security, but our objectives are often limited by expectations or restrictions we have set for ourselves. This can obscure or curtail potential outcomes. There are times we aren't even aware that the destiny we desire isn't truly what we want, and once we reach our goal, we realize it doesn't measure up to our expectation.
Allow your mind to wander and stay open to alternatives. Additionally, focusing more on higher ideals and less on yourself can expand your world and your possibilities.
Key ingredients for this period are idealism, selflessness, and humility.
THE EXPECTED OUTCOME OF YOUR FIRST DIAMOND
The fourth number reveals potential changes in your personality and your environment as a result of your experience with the Diamond in place this year. Naturally, our effort and sincere desire to meet these challenges increases the possibility of a positive outcome
What it means to have an expected Outcome of 4
John, a 4 in this position suggests that you exit this Diamond with a stronger foundation in your inner understanding as well as in the material world.
This diamond can inspire a more positive self-image, and help you feel more comfortable with the role you play in life. On the material plane, you should notice concrete and tangible improvements. This combination often sees improved financial circumstances and advancement in career or other practical areas of your life.
With effort we become more reliable and trustworthy; this, in turn, brings a sense of pride and strengthens our self-confidence. The 4 outcome suggests you have become more focused, have kept promises that may have been difficult to keep, and overcome temptations - all traits you can nurture to reach future goals.

YOUR SECOND DIAMOND CAUSE
The second number in your Second Diamond reflects the underlying cause of a distinct challenge you will face this year. It is the catalyst that sets things in motion, the cause of the issues confronting you during this period.
The Cause for your Second Diamond is 11/2
This diamond aspect suggests the reason for the above challenge could lie in a mixture of misinformation, anger, or confusion. It is likely you feel mistreated (possibly in your work environment). You may have been the victim of gossip or false accusations. Although it may feel personal, the actual reasons behind it may include biases that individuals, or society, hold against certain groups or types of people.
The issue may, or may not, be the result of something you did in a concrete way. However, when a 2 appears in this position it usually means you are at least partly responsible for the image some people might have of you. If this is the case, consider whether you are overly sensitive to certain issues or have been hiding part of yourself behind a façade.
Identifying the reason for the discord could be a big step on the way to resolution.
THE RECOMMENDED ACTION FOR YOUR SECOND DIAMOND
The third number in the Second Diamond pattern suggests a possible course of action to resolve the issues facing you during this period.
The Recommended Action for this Diamond is 11/2
At this time in your life, John, your most valuable asset might be your sixth sense. This Diamond brings a heightened state of awareness. You may feel more sensitive, possibly having vivid dreams or noticing things around you that normally go unnoticed. We tend to be more aware of our intuition when we relax our mind - one reason our dreams seem so graphic and revealing.
During this period, rely on your gut feelings and be sensitive to the subtle signals around you. Relax, be in the present, and listen carefully to others (sometimes you learn more from their tone of voice than from the content of their communication). It is also important to be aware of what goes on inside of you, so sharpen your intuition there too. Take time for daily contemplation of your circumstances, how you feel, what you want, and what you sense from people around you.
With your mind wide open and your antenna fully extended you may feel more vulnerable emotionally, so criticism may trouble you more than usual. This is an indication that your intuition is magnified, as emotional sensitivity and heightened intuition are two sides of the same coin. Your approach should be to take full advantage of your intuition, while giving less attention to the emotions being stirred.
Instinct, faith, sensitivity, and emotional stability are key ingredients to getting the most out of this Diamond.
THE EXPECTED OUTCOME OF YOUR SECOND DIAMOND
The fourth number reveals potential changes in your personality and your environment as a result of your experience with the Second Diamond in place this year. Naturally, our effort and sincere desire to meet these challenges increases the possibility of a positive outcome.
What it means to have an expected Outcome of 4
John, a 4 in this position suggests that you exit this Diamond with a stronger foundation in your inner understanding as well as in the material world.
This diamond can inspire a more positive self-image, and help you feel more comfortable with the role you play in life. On the material plane, you should notice concrete and tangible improvements.

YOUR FIRST DIAMOND CAUSE
The second number in your Diamond reflects the underlying cause of the challenge you face this year. It is the catalyst that sets things in motion, the root of the issues confronting you during this period.
The Cause for your First Diamond is 14/5
A recent issue in your life may have had to do with a fear of freedom, analogous, perhaps, to a person recently home from a long stint in the military.
A divorce or losing a job can produce a similar effect. This can be frightening, and we often view it as a void or an abyss, rather than the opportunity for freedom and new beginnings. Many of us fear the prospect of time not filled with plans, goals or expectations. A 5 in this position suggests you may have been feeling somewhat lost or in search of purpose.
THE RECOMMENDED ACTION FOR YOUR FIRST DIAMOND
The third number in the Diamond pattern suggests a possible course of action to resolve successfully the issues facing you during this period.
The Recommended Action for this Diamond is 14/5
Think of this period as flying a kite, John. You need to keep your feet on the ground, but your focus and ambition should be roaming, swirling and diving without restraint. Your mind should be as free as that kite but held firmly by a string controlled by (only) you.
We often allow people or situations, as well as ourselves, to limit our potential. Sometimes we work hard because we feel pressured by money concerns or living up to other people’s expectations. Other times, we are drawn by a dream or a personal goal. Although no less effort is required, there is a big difference in the way each impetus feels; the first feels frustrating and demanding, the second brings hope and excitement,
This diamond suggests it's time to let go of old concepts and ideas, in order to be elevated by your own dreams. Nurture your untapped potential by allowing new ideas to emerge, let go of past habits and worrying what others may think.
Although it may not sound very practical, it may help to just watch the clouds go by, get out more, let go of old patterns. There is no better way to get in touch with yourself and your dreams. Allowing your mind to wander and making room for the new are important aspects for recognizing and formulating your dreams.
Qualities that will help you navigate this Diamond and take advantage of approaching opportunities are flexibility, adaptability, having faith in yourself, and letting go of old habits and restrictions.

What it means to have an expected Outcome of 7
John, you likely emerge from this Diamond with a stronger sense of insight and faith, although this is not always obvious to others. In fact, it's not uncommon for people who have previously been devoutly religious or attended a place of worship regularly, to seem less dedicated. On the contrary, it sometimes means that a deeply personal, internal search has brought further understanding and clarity, while adherence to ritual and dogma has diminished.
In any case, as you exit this Diamond you will likely feel an inner metamorphosis, with an expanded awareness of your intellectual potential, and more analytical, focused, reflective, and contemplative. These traits can bring an increased desire to learn through books, education, and documentaries. Additionally, you may be drawn to meditation or other forms of inner focus to find deeper insight.
