The Power and Limitations of Numerology
Numerology is an art thousands of years in the making. Like any Metaphysical science, it hinges on the understanding that all things are interconnected. Your numerology profile analyzes the connection between the letters and numbers linked to you, revealing your talents, strengths, weaknesses, emotions, preferences, and a range of other qualities.
To use an analogy, think of numerology's nine single-digit numbers as nine tubes of paint, each a distinctly different color. Imagine you are a work of art painted by a master artist who used every color available to create your image. The depiction is unique and complex: a fusion of bright and subdued colors, shapes and shadows, light and reflection, subtle and bold textures. The deeper you look, the more you perceive and appreciate the many layers that makeup who you are.
A comprehensive numerology profile, along with your honest reflection, can be a powerful self-help tool in identifying underlying traits and new possibilities. The better you know yourself, the more control you have over life's changes and the greater your potential for a successful, fulfilled life. Numerology is not infallible, nor does it promise to answer every question, but I feel confident you will find many things to contemplate in the following pages.
You are unique, and so is your Profile. We hope you enjoy your reading.
Your Personality Profile
Your Profile begins with insight gleaned from your name because that is where we learn WHO you are. It describes the talents, strengths, and other distinct characteristics you were born with. Just as your physical body grows and changes with time, so does your personality. Your personal evolution begins at the moment of your birth. From that point on, the choices you make, the goals you set, your environment, opportunities, challenges, the influence of others, and a thousand other factors alter who you become.
Your Personality Profile begins with an overview of the combined influence of the core numbers derived from your name: your Expression, Heart's Desire, and Personality. This has never been done before.
I hope you will take time to read and reflect on the information below. Many aspects become clearer with time and during subsequent readings. I wish you the best on your journey.

Your Personality Profile is based on your full name at birth, your current name, and your date of birth. Your full name tells us who you are; think of it as your numerology-DNA. Your date of birth reveals your path and the patterns of your personal growth.
We start this report by looking at the most important numbers derived from your full name to throw light on who you are as a person.
, we begin by taking a quick snapshot, a look at the influence and meaning of the three core numbers derived from your name. Your Expression number is the sum of the value of all the letters in your full name at birth. Your Heart's Desire is the sum of the vowels. Your Personality number is the sum of the consonants. These three numbers are closely linked and influence one another.
All the numbers derived from your name reflect YOU. They are a blueprint of your talents, shortcomings, character traits, and other qualities. You should realize that this is a limited perspective. Later chapters focus on the challenges and opportunities you will encounter on your path, and attributes you may acquire as time passes.
This first chapter is like a glance from a distance, followed by three chapters that explain the meaning of each number in more detail. We will gradually build a more complete picture of the complex and unique individual you are.
Your Core Name Numbers are 11, 11, 9
, both your Expression and your Heart’s Desire numbers are 11/2 (the 11 is a Master Number, more about that later, but they are based on 2 and we will start with that. This number combination generates a resilient, intuitive, and sensitive energy. Teamed with your 9 Personality number, this arrangement offers a limited range of career options, but with excellent potential. This will be true particularly in fields that rely heavily on an ability to relate to others. Your number combination is found among the greatest politicians and military leaders.
The diplomatic (though somewhat manipulative 2) is extremely competent when dealing with other people, especially those with sensitive egos. The 2 is a peacemaker, someone who can bring harmony and fellowship to the most difficult and conflict-driven environments.
Add to that the global consciousness of the 9 and you can see why politics, or one of its many offshoots, such as diplomacy or civil service, is a popular field for people with these numbers.
Art, music, and a sense of rhythm also come naturally to the 2, although they can be suppressed by insecurity and the inability to cope with criticism - one of the less desirable traits of the 2.
Like anyone, you need to love and feel loved. However, in your case, there is an added dimension. The 2 is your Heart’s Desire number, and as such it dominates your needs and desires. This suggests you don’t function well unless you are in a partnership.
The 2 normally feels a romantic partner is a necessity and thrives on the support and professional familiarity of coworkers. You would probably be happiest in an environment that supplies frequent interaction with people working toward the same goal. The military, law enforcement, construction, professional sports, or a small or mid-size corporation are a few examples.
Your personal life can be a little challenging, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. You may have difficulty fending off verbal abuse or criticism and likely avoid confrontation. In addition, some people with this combination tend to draw the wrong people into their lives (a surprising inconsistency considering the 2’s intuition is significantly more finely tuned than other numbers).
This subconscious drive to help people who are weak or damaged may cause you to ignore the inner voice warning you to back away. If this is your experience, work on self-confidence, and being more selective about the people you allow into your life. Beware of escaping into denial or a propensity to blame others.
Now let’s look at each of your core numbers individually.
Your Expression number, calculated from your full name at birth, reveals the orientation or goal of your life. Some numerologists refer to this as your Destiny number because it represents a lifelong target at which you are aiming. Thus, the Expression number, to some extent, reveals the person you aim to be.
Your Expression is the most influential of the three characteristics that make up who you are. It is also the number with the most influence on your choice of career, although other aspects are important as well.
Your Expression is 29/11

Yours is the most highly charged Expression number of all. You are like a lightning rod, attracting powerful ideas, intuitions, and even psychic information like unpredictable bolts. You are a powerful presence without any awareness on your part of having personal power. You are a channel for higher vibrations. But in order to be emotionally and psychologically at peace, you must learn to control that flow of energy. You possess a bridge between the unconscious and the conscious.
The trouble is that the unconscious is an infinite resource, while consciousness by definition is a limited arena. The two are therefore at odds until they can learn to live in harmony with each other. This is where control comes in. Until you are able to control the flow of energy from this infinite source, you may feel like a victim of its whimsy, thrown about by emotional turmoil and nervous tensions.
You have always sensed that you are different, but it was an indefinable feeling. You are enormously sensitive and aware, especially as a child. This made you vulnerable to all conflicts and painful situations. For most of your upbringing, however, you did not realize that other people did not possess the same sensitivity, nor did they see the same things you were seeing. This caused a great reservoir of emotion that was dammed up behind an inability to express your feelings, even to yourself.
For this reason, most 11 Expressions have a difficult childhood. Your extreme sensitivity made you very shy as a child. This usually manifests in adulthood as hesitation and acute vulnerability. You are very careful about sharing your feelings with others and choosing your friends.
You compensated for your sense of separation in childhood by creating an elaborate fantasy world. You daydreamed more than other children. You have a lively imagination and even in adulthood have a hard time separating reality from fantasy.
Your challenge is to bring forth your primitive, earthy strength. You need to be grounded in order to deal with your lightning bolts. The more you are able to call upon your inherent human strength, the greater your capacity to take advantage of your extremely sensitive awareness. Once this is accomplished, your antagonist becomes your benefactor.
You are highly emotional and dependent upon relationships. Emotionally, you go up and down with the fortunes of your love life.
You are idealistic, impractical, and at times disorderly. You are often unrealistic in your expectations. Your reasons for doing things are usually born of a mixture of logic, emotion, and intuition, which can rarely be explained satisfactorily to your more rational associates.
The 11 Expression is the number most dependent upon other core numbers in your chart for insight into your vocation. The 11 charges every area it enters, but it needs a grounding vocation and discipline to be effective. A balanced 11 is one of the most unique and impressive of all people. It is gifted with insight and illumination, which it can transmit to others. This makes you a natural teacher in whatever area you enter.
The Expression number described above points to a more productive side of your life. Your Heart's Desire reflects a deeper, inner you; it suggests an underlying urge, your true motivation, and the general intention behind many of your actions. It reveals the environment and lifestyle you prefer, as well as your likes, dislikes, and the type of people you are drawn to. Consequently, it dramatically influences the choices you make in life.
It makes sense that the vowels of your name are the foundation for your Heart's Desire. Vowels are the peaks and valleys of a language. Notice how vowels leave your mouth in a free-flowing breath. Try it: Aaaa.... Eeee.... Oooo.. Consonants though, are cut off either at the beginning or in the end.
You might say that it is in the flow of your breath that you express your deeper self.
Your Heart's Desire number is 11

You have wisdom beyond your years. Even as a child, your understanding of life was considerable, though it likely went unrecognized by others.
You are a born peacemaker. You are driven by a desire to settle conflicts and create harmony. You are a healer and a visionary. You long to make the world a better place and cannot rest until you have dedicated your life to some worthwhile cause. Your realm is ideas and philosophy. You are attracted to the world of energy more than to the mechanical or material planes. Philosophy, religion, and less traditional forms of healing are among your specialties. You are obsessed with the quest for enlightenment.
You are extremely sensitive and possess a high degree of intuition. Subtle messages and feelings of others do not escape your attention. You are powerfully aware of the thoughts and feelings of others. Unless you are well grounded, this can throw you about emotionally. Your awareness can be both a gift as well as a problem, because you so deeply desire to please others and keep harmony in your environment.
Many 11s were born into extremely hostile or turbulent families. This often resulted in psychological pain, lack of confidence, and shyness during childhood. Somehow, the child with an 11 heart's desire recognized the sources of his family's problem. This created an internal conflict for the child, who naturally loved the troubled parent, but could not cope with that parent's behavior. Therefore, many 11s are scarred early in life. They understand the sufferings of others and seek to be of service in some way.
This is, in fact, the easiest way for you to heal yourself and find your greatest satisfaction. You understand the importance of close, loving relationships. Therefore, you are selective in choosing your friends and spouse. You are a romantic, idealistic, but somewhat impractical person. Unless you have other balancing characteristics (as indicated by 1s, 4s, and 8s in your chart), it is wise to team up with a more practical and realistic partner.
You have a magnetic and charismatic personality. You like pondering abstract matters. Your intelligence is electric. Ideas, solutions to problems, and inventions seem to come to you as if out of the blue.
You are highly charged and intense. This can cause nervous tension. You need to care for your nervous system with ample amounts of rest, a peaceful environment, and proper diet -- avoiding extreme foods and drugs.
You are often more concerned with universal justice than with the individual.
The 11 is a master number, possessing great potential. It has been entrusted to you as a gift that you are worthy of. The key is to maintain a hold on your ideals and seek ways to practically implement them.
You have a specific role and gift to give to the world. This requires time and maturity to fully comprehend. But with patience and perseverance, you will discover why you felt different and even unique as a child. At that time, you will discover that what made you feel weak as a child will make you strong and confident as a mature adult.
The consonants of your full name at birth are the foundation of your Personality number, which is a little like a narrow entrance hall to the great room that is your true nature. It's the outer layer of your personality, the part you feel comfortable sharing. With time and trust, you invite others into the deeper aspects of your nature.
Your Personality number serves as a censoring device in terms of what you send out, as well as whom and what you allow to approach. For this reason, your Personality is usually narrower and more protective in its definition than the real you. It also gives an indication of how others perceive you.
Your Personality number is 36/9

You have an impressive and aristocratic bearing. No matter how tall you are, you appear noble and upright. You are very much in control of the image you send out to others. Many actors, dancers, and other performers have a 9 Personality Number.
You are elegant, graceful, and charismatic. Many admire you. You have the kind of stature that pulls people to you or repels them intensely. Some are jealous of you and may seek to belittle you. You may encourage this to some extent by the amount of arrogance you radiate. This is a caution for all 9 Personalities -- they are sometimes aloof and hold themselves above the world. Your challenge is to come down to earth with your fellow man.
Conversely, you have a great compassion for humanity and want to dedicate yourself to improving the lot of others. You are better when dealing with the trials of the many than the trouble of a single person. You are more capable of working on the grand scale, addressing the needs of society, than on a one-to-one basis.
You are kind and sympathetic, helpful and compassionate. Behind the controlled and calm facade, you are sensitive, vulnerable and emotional.
You have excellent taste. There is a good deal of artistic talent in you that shows in your home environment and your clothing. You tend to see yourself as a guardian of society, a benevolent leader, guiding and directing your community toward a better world.
A Bridge number is based on the numerical difference between two closely related aspects in your chart. It is the gap you need to "bridge" in order to create a more harmonious bond between the two areas.
The following Bridge number connects your Heart's Desire and Personality numbers. It suggests things you can do to help your deeper self to align more closely with your personality; the "outer" you that is apparent to others.
With a little exaggeration, you could say that your Personality number is somewhat like your mask; it's a more superficial aspect you reveal to the world. You can imagine how much more comfortable and less inhibited the experience of life becomes when you can align your authentic self with the personality you show to the world.
Your Heart's Desire - Personality Bridge number is 7

This bridge can come only from a combination of either 8 and 1, or 9 and 2. This number urges you to spend more time and effort on spiritual matters, as either combination can cause a person to become too interested in material matters. Excessive attachment to money, goods, and status quo can make you vulnerable to the temptations of the material world.
If there was ever a moment of transformation, it was the moment of your birth. In that instant, you stepped into a new reality - the reality of human life and human consciousness. Even at that moment you were a person with your own unique character, as unique as your DNA. The previous chapters focused on YOU, the person you are, as revealed in the letters of your name. It is now time to look at your Path, the road you walk through life, using the numbers found in your date of birth.
Your first breath marked the beginning of your journey on the road we call your Life Path. It makes sense, then, that the most important number in your numerology chart comes from the date of your birth. Your Life Path number gives a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges, and lessons you encounter throughout your life. It also reveals the strengths, specific talents, and characteristics you were given to help you overcome challenges and evolve into the best you can be.
Your Life Path number is considered the single most significant information available in your Personality Chart. It is derived from the total of all numbers found in your date of birth. However, it is important to keep in mind that the aspects described in the next few chapters will either complement, supplement, or sometimes weaken the attributes revealed in numbers derived from your name.
Your Life Path number is 16/7

You are the searcher and the seeker of the truth. You have a clear and compelling sense of yourself as a spiritual being. As a result, your life path is devoted to investigations into the unknown and finding the answers to the mysteries of life. You are well-equipped to handle your task. You possess a fine mind; you are an analytical thinker, capable of great concentration and theoretical insight. You enjoy research and putting the pieces of an intellectual puzzle together. Once you have enough pieces in place, you are capable of highly creative insight and practical solutions to problems.
You enjoy your solitude and prefer to work alone. You need time to contemplate your ideas without the intrusion of other people's thoughts. You are a lone wolf, a person who lives by his own ideas and methods. As a result, close associations are difficult for you to form and keep, especially marriage. You need your space and privacy, which, when violated, can cause you great frustration and irritation.
When your life is balanced, however, you are both charming and attractive. You can be the life of a party and enjoy performing before an audience. You enjoy displaying your wit and knowledge, which makes you attractive to others, especially the opposite sex.
But you have distinct limits. While you are generous in social situations, sharing your attention and energy freely, you are keenly aware of the need to "come off stage" and return to the solitude of your lair. You associate peace with the unobtrusive privacy of your world. Therefore, intimacy is difficult for you, because you guard your inner world like a mother lion does her cubs.
All this privacy and aloneness can cause isolation and loneliness, however. You can be aware of emptiness in your life, a part of you that yearns for company and close companionship that may be unsatisfied. If isolation is brought to the extreme, you can become cynical and suspicious. You can develop hidden, selfish motives, which people may sense and may cause them discomfort around you. You must guard against becoming too withdrawn and independent, thus shutting out the love of others and keeping you from experiencing the true joy of friendship and close companionship.
You must especially watch out for selfishness and egocentricity, thinking of yourself as the center of the universe, the only person who really matters. Social contact gives perspective on yourself and on life, while too much isolation can make you too narrow and even shut off from the rest of the world.
Secretly, you may feel jealous of the easy relationships formed by others; you may perceive others as less inhibited than you, or freer to express themselves. You may harshly criticize yourself for not being more gregarious, powerful, or capable of greater leadership.
Your challenge in life is to maintain your independence without feeling isolated or ineffectual. You must hold fast to your unique view on the world, while at the same time being open to others and the knowledge they have to offer. With your abilities to learn, analyze, seek out answers to life's important questions, you have the potential for enormous growth and success in life. By the time you reach middle age, you will radiate refinement and wisdom. Pythagoras loved the seven for its great spiritual potential.
Your 16 Life Path also reflects the presence of a Karmic Debt. (The 13,14, 16. and 19 are Karmic Debt numbers.) The 16 Karmic Debt means destruction of the old and birth of the new. The 16 is about the fall of the ego, and all that it has built for itself. It is a watershed, a cleansing. All that has been constructed, and all that serves to separate the person from the source of life is destroyed.
Through the 16, reunion with the Great Spirit is accomplished. This can be a painful process, because it usually comes after much ego inflation. This results in a struggle between the ego and the divine will. Life presents challenges to your grand plans, which can be resented and struggled against. It is a lost battle, and you will likely feel humbled in the face of the collapse that follows.
This humility is the key to later success, however, because you will learn to follow the intimations of a higher reality. In the destruction of the old, a spiritual rebirth takes place with an entirely new awareness. This rebirth affects every area of your life. It is a life much the better for the fall.
Those with the 16 Karmic Debt must be careful of egotism. Very often, those with the 16 use their highly intuitive and refined intellect to look down upon others and view the rest of the world as inferior. This causes acute alienation and loneliness. In addition, it invites retribution, for the egotist is humbled more harshly than any other. When the 16 is in one of the core numbers, this process of destruction and rebirth is a continual cycle that actually serves to bring you into higher consciousness and closer union with the source of life.
The 16 Karmic Debt can be a path of progress and great spiritual growth if it is looked at properly. One develops great faith by placing one's life in the hands of God. Through such faith, gratitude and peace are firmly established.
The day you were born bears great significance in understanding who you are and where your talents lie. Your day of birth indicates special talents you possess. It gives us an indication of the approach you will take toward the goals, opportunities and obstacles you encounter on your Life's Path.
Your Birth Day number is 31/4

You are a hard worker and a conscientious person. You are precise and take great care in what you do. You are highly-principled, disciplined, and responsible. , you take your obligations very seriously. You are highly ethical. You can be proud and upright, but, conversely, you are not particularly arrogant. You have compassion for people. You tend to persevere in the face of an obstacle or personality problem.
You love your family and make a wonderful mate. Yet, you are not overly emotional, nor very demonstrative of your love. You tend to understate your affections.
You are constantly focused on the foundations of your life -- whether it is in business, career, or family matters, you take care of the basics. You are highly rational. You are not one for pie-in-the-sky solutions to problems. Nor are you given to get-rich-quick schemes. Yours is the slow, patient approach, sound and secure.
You are a natural organizer and manager. People -- especially relatives and co-workers -- tend to rely on you. You are perceived as the rock of any endeavor. You can be stubborn and rigid. Your nature is to dig in and wait. This can close you off from solutions or creative ideas. You must work at being more flexible. You often experience frustrations and repression. You are not an emotional person, and perhaps you don't fully understand the emotional realm. This is the reason you can be rather tactless at times.
Be careful to avoid excess work and missing out at smelling the roses of life. You like to be in nature.
Your Life Path and Birthday numbers are closely connected and influence each other. This Bridge explains how you can make the connection between them more harmonious.
Your Life Path - Birthday Bridge number is 3

Your 3 Bridge shows that your creativity and ability to motivate others are specific assets which can help you grow. While this may seem to apply to anyone at any time, there is a hidden purpose that applies to your bridge. People with this combination tend to be more easily affected by a negative outlook, so you may be more vulnerable to this than others.
Conversely, a positive perspective has a more powerful effect on you than on others. When you consciously push aside the clouds and offer hope and sanguinity to others, you will be the main beneficiary of that kindness.
Having a 3 as the "gap" number between two aspects of your personality points to the need for you to lighten up and bring joy and hope to those around you.
You face four specific Challenges in your lifetime. For many of us, the same challenge is repeated, while others have four distinctly different lessons to learn.
These Challenges place you in situations that require you to face the particular lesson at hand. This provides an opportunity for you to learn or better integrate personal traits that will benefit you during the lesson, and throughout your life.
The four Challenges in your chart will influence you during the periods of your life listed below.
The duration of your First Challenge usually lasts from birth until age 30 to 35.
Your First Challenge is 1

You must learn to be independent. You will be forced to stand up for yourself and your rights. You will be faced with situations in which you will have to choose between standing up for what you think is right versus giving in to another person's demands. You will have to struggle to strengthen and know your own will power. You will have to learn to be firm and trust your judgment. Don't run with the crowd, be an individual.
This whole lesson represents the frontiers of your consciousness. Therefore, you will have to experience much trial and error, sometimes exploding with bursts of aggression, other times being intimidated and letting frustration and anger build within you until you are ready to act on your deepest instincts. You will learn your own set of values; you will develop into an individual with original and innovative ideas.
Your Second Challenge is in place from approximately age 30 through 55.
Your Second Challenge is 5

You are in danger of becoming a rolling stone. Your desire to experience and enjoy life can overwhelm every other priority you have. Your need for freedom dominates you. You want to try everything and go everywhere.
You must guard against overindulgence -- and even dependence upon -- alcohol, food, drugs, and sex.
You must work at establishing and maintaining long- lasting relationships. Be tolerant and understanding. This will enable you to have people in your life who are more than mere company.
You need to discipline your urge to change every situation that does not immediately suit you. Stick with projects, maintain your friendships, don't abandon people or situations the minute they become the slightest bit difficult.
If few fives are in the chart you have a fear of change and cannot let go of people and situations. This holds you in the past, restricting your growth. Learn to take prudent risks and be more adventurous.
This Challenge carries much weight and will be felt throughout your life. For that reason, it is also called the Main Challenge.
As you master this challenge and incorporate its positive aspects into your character, your life gradually feels more in control. There is a chance for great reward implicit in this challenge. In short, it may offer the secret to your success.
Your Third and Main Challenge is 4

You tend to be disorderly and disorganized. You are impractical and tend to fantasize about projects or possibilities that have little value or future. You must learn to discriminate between iron balloons and those that will fly. You have difficulty finishing projects because your vision becomes chaotic and loses tract of the path ahead.
You have to learn to be aware of the details. Keep your environment clean and orderly. Be efficient.
You have the ability to be practical and organized but you must learn their value. This will cause you to incorporate them into your daily life and give you the basis for success.
This is the challenge of building a lasting foundation for your life. You will need perseverance and repeated effort. Get-rich-quick schemes will likely backfire; persistent effort is the key to your future happiness.
Your Fourth Challenge is most strongly felt during the latter part of your life, beginning at approximately age of 60.
Your Fourth Challenge is 6

Your challenge deals with distorted idealism. Your ideals are unrealistically high, making life difficult for you and others. You have a hard time being satisfied with anything you do, or with what others do for you. You lack gratitude. This prevents you from seeing the beauty in your life. You may also suffer from rigid thinking, which keeps you from having a clear perspective that would otherwise awaken you to the many good things you have received.
At bottom, this challenge is about having blinders on. You are unable to see a broader view, which makes you think you have all the answers. This keeps away information and perspectives that would be helpful to you. Your desire to be of service to others is sincere. However, it may be blocking you from seeing the necessity of working on your own inner development.
You can be domineering and righteous, often telling others what is right and what is wrong. You often feel a lack of appreciation from others.
There is an opportunity to be of service, to teach and heal, but you will have to achieve a balanced perspective between your idealism and your resistance to personal transformation.
We have focused on the letters of your name and the numbers from your date of birth. We will now look at numbers in your chart derived from the combination of both your name and the date of your birth. Acquiring the attributes described in the next few chapters will help smooth your progress. As you learn more about yourself, you may begin to recognize traits you were previously unaware of.
This Bridge has the potential to "close the gap" between the Life Path and the Expression numbers. The chapter explains how you can make your talents, strengths, and specific abilities (your Expression number) more readily available and fitting to your goals and personal growth.
Your Life Path - Expression Bridge number is 4

In order to gain the most from the strengths and talents inherent in your Expression, and the requirements of your Life Path, it would benefit you to acquire more of the 4's traits. These include determination, perseverance, persistence, and sometimes plain stubbornness.
The more focused and demanding you become, the more quickly you progress. Interestingly, physical and outdoor activities bring you closer to yourself and increase those skills - they are excellent forms of therapy for anyone with a 4 Bridge number. Spend a little time walking in nature, working in a garden, or building something.
Your Maturity number indicates an underlying wish or desire that gradually surfaces at around age 30 to 35. A direction begins to emerge as you gain a better understanding of yourself. With this self-knowledge comes a greater awareness of who you are, and the direction you want to set for your life.
Your Maturity number is 18/9

Your concern for the wellbeing of society will grow more powerful as you come to maturity. You will be drawn to doing much public service. The long-term good of your community and even the world will occupy your thoughts increasingly. Service to humanity is fundamental to your life. You will grow in understanding and wisdom as you mature. Involvement with international affairs or humanitarian service offers you much satisfaction.
As you mature, your appreciation for the arts and beauty in any form will also increase. It is quite possible that you will be actively involved in the arts, if that is not already the case, often as a benefactor.
If you have few 9s in your chart, or none at all, you will gain a sense of your personal place among the human race. You will feel you belong and that you have provided something of lasting value for the future. If you already have several 9s in your chart, especially among the core numbers, you will have to guard against arrogance, aloofness, and alienation.
Like most stories, there are three distinct stages of your life. Your First, Second, and Third Period Cycles come from your month, day, and year of birth respectively. Together they form the foundation of your Life's Path.
The First Cycle begins in childhood and lasts through your late 20's. It's a quest for knowledge and identity while you cope with the powerful forces that are present in your environment. These forces include your parents and the socio-economic conditions of your family, for example.
The Second Cycle covers the middle period of your life, bringing about the slow emergence of your individual and creative talents. This cycle begins in the early and mid-30's while struggling to find your place in the world. The late 30's, 40's, and 50's, bring a greater degree of self-mastery and influence over your environment.
The Third Cycle starts approximately age 55, and represents a flowering of your inner self as your true nature comes to fruition. It is during this period that you have the greatest degree of power and self-expression.
Your First Period Cycle runs from birth until your mid 30's.
Your First Period Cycle is 3 and lasts until age 29

The early part of your life revolves around communication and self-expression. You find yourself drawn to the company of artists and eccentrics and are less comfortable in conventional settings. Social events are important and help you burn off some of that restless, creative energy.
You may have difficulty staying focused on a goal to its completion, as you find that boredom kicks in quickly and patience is not your forte. Others find you charming, attractive, even charismatic, but you must be careful not to waste energy on superficial projects or relationships. Discipline and focus are essential to lay a foundation you will build on for the rest of your life.
Your Second Period Cycle runs from your mid 30's until your late 50's.
Your Second Period Cycle is 4

The middle part of your life is a period of hard work and the rewards it can bring. You are chiefly concerned with the practical aspects of life: career, family, and community. You are not given to pursuing idealistic or impractical goals during this time, as you prefer to place your life on sound financial footing. Find work you love, so your effort brings reward not only through promotion, success, and money, but also in joy and a sense of accomplishment. This is a time
dominated by discipline, order, and self-motivation, traits that will endear you to your family, co-workers, and community.
Your Third Period Cycle covers the later part of your life, starting in your early 60's.
Your Third Period Cycle is 9

The latter part of your life finds you increasingly idealistic and concerned with the betterment of humankind. You become more broadminded and reach out to people from all walks of life. You offer your time and resources to causes you believe in.
Your interests are increasingly directed toward other cultures and societies. Your sense of justice and your interest in political and humanitarian issues becomes more finely tuned. Whereas most people "mellow out" with age, you find yourself becoming more passionate.
Your creativity increases during the latter part of your life, with a focus on design and large-scale projects. You may be inspired to study design, engineering, or architecture.
Although Pinnacle Cycles and Period Cycles are both derived from your date of birth, they differ in the way you experience them. Period Cycles, described above, reflect internal stages of growth. Pinnacle Cycles represent the external influences you encounter in life.
Pinnacles reveal general conditions and events you experience during each period, such as your environment, social conditions, relationships, and changing circumstances. Pinnacles reveal how you might respond to these influences and how they will affect your ever-evolving personality.
The transition from one Pinnacle to the next is usually strongly felt. You begin to feel the transition from one Pinnacle to the next approximately two years in advance. The latter part of that two-year period can be particularly strong. You will likely make life-altering decisions, such as marriage, a job or career change, or major changes in your personal makeup.
Knowing and understanding your approaching Pinnacle number prepares you for the changes ahead. Perhaps the most strongly felt change is the transition from First to Second Pinnacle, which usually takes place in your late 20's or early 30's (the exact date depends on your Life Path number). This is usually a difficult transition but once crossed, provides a clear sense of direction and a firmer sense of identity.
Your First Pinnacle cycle is 7 and runs from birth until approximately age 29

This is a period of inner development and soul searching. , you will deal with the deeply important questions of personal existence and the meaning of life. You will need time to be alone to contemplate your inner world. This is a time of spiritual growth. You will experience a heightened sense of faith. The power of the universe will be the force that carries you along. During this 7 Pinnacle, spiritual growth, increased knowledge, and wisdom are the big rewards. The 7 Pinnacle provides the basis for contentment in older age, because you now begin to understand life more deeply.
You have an enhanced appreciation of poetry and nature. Walks in nature provide great therapeutic value and spiritual nourishment.
This is a time of specialization. You will pursue some course of development with fervor and focus. Your ability to concentrate will be greatly increased. Your desire to study in all forms -- reading, self-reflection, and contemplation -- will reach an all-time high. Your intuition is much more sensitive, making your path a little easier and more direct, since you know intuitively the appropriate next step.
Under this Pinnacle, you will become an expert in one particular field. Your capacity to penetrate the depths of a subject area is enormous. You will look below the surface in virtually everything you encounter. It is very possible that you will find yourself in a teaching role.
You must consciously work on your closer relationships, especially with your spouse and children. You must explain that your desire to turn inward is not an escape or an avoidance of those you love, but a deep need for knowledge. Your challenge is to avoid becoming critical or cynical of others. You can become so withdrawn from society that you look down on others. You may forget that you, too, are part of the imperfect human race. Sarcasm is the lowest form of communication, and a trap you could fall victim to.
Your desire to attain some high degree of perfection is sincere. But that pursuit can make you miserable if you lose perspective and fail to realize the relativity of human existence. Perfection is a Utopian goal, but an unrealistic ambition. It can cause you to be dissatisfied with yourself and others.
The 7 provides the possibility of true refinement, insight, and a high degree of wisdom. This deep understanding is the basis for self-love and true happiness.
Your Second Pinnacle Cycle lasts nine years and tends to have a considerable influence on your productive/professional life.
Your Second Pinnacle cycle is 4 and runs from age 29 until age 38

This is a Pinnacle of hard work and many rewards. You have the opportunity to build a foundation that will last. Your ability as an organizer, manager, or simply the rock of any institution is greatly increased. You are dependable and reliable. Your ability to fulfill responsibilities is likewise enhanced. As a result of your industry and perseverance, success is well within your reach. It is a step-by-step process in which you build something by small bricks laid one after another.
You will find yourself caring for others in a very material way. Family and in-laws can be burdensome, since you are seen as the cornerstone of the foundation.
Your life is preoccupied with details and responsibilities that must be taken care of. You have set in motion projects that are your children, demanding your constant attention. While there are many rewards, there are also many frustrations. Your sense of your own limits and the consuming nature of details may at times seem overwhelming. You must remember that things that last require slow growth. You may mistakenly believe that your progress should be faster or happen with greater ease. The need for efficiency, orderliness, and methodical systems limit your creativity. Your challenge is to be flexible and adaptable. Learn to play more and allow yourself to be more spontaneous.
Children born under this Pinnacle will tend to be serious and affected by the financial limitations of their parents. The child may feel the need to leave home early and start a family of his own. He or she must be encouraged to be more farsighted and flexible. The child should avoid jumping into the harsh realities of life too soon.
Your Third Pinnacle Cycle also lasts nine years. Like your Second Pinnacle, its effect is felt primarily in your career or business environment.
Your Third Pinnacle cycle is 11 and runs from age 38 until age 47

This is a challenging period in which you are at a high point of sensitivity and intuition. There is so much going on in your psyche that you can suffer much confusion over direction and identity. On the other hand, there is a wide-open channel between the personal consciousness and the higher realms of the unconscious. You are constantly being inspired and even assaulted by information and insight. Because of the intensity of these revelations, you must learn to ground your life in faith and a practical vocation that keeps your feet on the ground every day.
This is a period of enormous spiritual and personal growth. You will come out of it with a highly uncommon clarity and understanding of life. At the same time, it is a period of enormous demands, emotionally and spiritually. Any attachment you might have to specific identity traits -- who you think you are and why you are here, for example -- is constantly challenged. There is a desire to settle into some field or way of life to attain stability, but the energy of this Pinnacle is not allowing it. It is as if there is a destination, or destiny, to which you are being driven. You do not feel in control of this process. Instead, you are acutely aware of the forces that are shaping your life. You must surrender to them.
Meanwhile, you experience the emotional turmoil that can come with this highly charged period. There is a definite, even compelling, sense of being different. You are aware of a feeling of receiving special attention from spiritual forces. Your perception of life is somehow more acute than others; you see more clearly and more spiritually due to your high degree of sensitivity. It is as if you have a perfectly accurate peripheral vision, in which everything stands out in sharp relief. At times you may feel that you can see into the souls of things. At the same time, you may feel like a foreigner to the earth. You are completely impractical. Sometimes you may feel that you do not understand the workings of the physical world. Practical things escape you. You feel awkward and clumsy at times and are aware perhaps how fluidly other lives are going. This increases your sense of being an outsider.
More important than all the awkwardness and feelings of being different is the overwhelming sense of having a purpose or a message to reveal that will make other people's lives happier, healthier, and more at peace. You want desperately to bring this out.
The challenge of the 11 Pinnacle is to remain grounded and attached to this dream. You must find practical and useful ways to be of service to others, at the same time developing yourself so that one day you may be able to bring forth that which is within you.
The influences of this period make you highly creative, innovative, and inventive. You have a completely unconventional approach to problems. Trust your intuition, seek harmonious settings to restore your sense of inner peace, and work hard to keep your feet on the ground. This period will bring great rewards on all levels, and with perseverance you will find your rightful place.
Your Fourth Pinnacle Cycle lasts for the rest of your life.
Your Fourth Pinnacle cycle is 3 and runs from age 47 until age death.

This is a highly creative period. Your self-expression is greatly enhanced. Your creative and artistic talents will peak. You should do everything possible to refine these abilities and make the most of them. Many under the 3 Pinnacle are drawn to writing, the theater, singing, and dance. Your chances of success are also heightened. Hard work in any artistic field that one has a talent for can result in much reward. This is also a highly social and emotional time. You attract friends and admirers with your charm and gregarious nature. You have the ability to inspire and motivate people. Your upbeat energy causes people to want to work with and for you.
This is a lucky period, as well. You can overcome problems with considerably less effort than in the past. All of this can lead to self-indulgence and lack of productivity. Life is a little easier, which can make you less vigilant. You need focus and discipline. Under the influence of this Pinnacle, hard work is the key and the challenge to making the most of your opportunities.
Be careful of impulsive behavior or doing things on a lark. You must know your limits during this period. Be careful of your money; balance your accounts. Guard against disorderly thinking and behavior. Otherwise, you may do things you regret or simply squander away so many opportunities.
Children born under this Pinnacle must be disciplined and kept from being spoiled. An early education in the arts will inspire the child to make the most of his or her artistic talents.

When you find yourself facing such a situation your frustration tends to be considerable but of short duration. You simply start all over. You do not give up easily.
Your Balance number provides guidance on how to best deal with difficult situations.
People experience a variety of internal responses to life's challenges. Some step back from difficult situations to ponder a course of action while others withdraw to avoid uncomfortable emotions. Some explode with anger but allow the outburst to pass quickly while others let their feelings linger.
Very often, these are conditioned responses that emerge without thought or analysis. With maturity and self-development, we incorporate new and more effective methods of handling situations we encounter.
Your Balance number is 9

You will find your solutions by empathizing with the concerns of others . You have a gift for understanding a wide variety of people and seeing the broader picture.

You may feel isolated and alone, but do not understand why.
