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.
Test, 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 1, 11, 8
Your potential to achieve greatness in career or business is considerable, due in large part to the teamwork of your 1 Expression and 8 Personality. Both the 1 and 8 are driven by effort and a determination to overcome obstacles. Coasting through life is enough for some people, but it is not an option you choose.
You may feel you get more than your fair share of difficulty and challenge, but the truth is you subconsciously seek them out. Even so, significant effort will be required, as both the 1 and the 8 believe in, and thrive on, effort. Unfortunately, you are easily plagued by doubt and moments of low self-esteem, and the perception that success will not be forthcoming can be particularly detrimental to a person with your otherwise strong and opinionated numbers. Be aware that patience may not be your forte'. Although the 1 and 8 combination usually brings success, when it brings failure it is generally due to a lack of patience, not a lack of effort or an absence of talent or opportunity.
Your 11/2 Heart's Desire is a blessing in disguise. A gentle number, it is the perfect counterbalance to your Expression and Personality, although that is often not the way it feels. There will be times you see a promising opportunity but doubt your ability to succeed (a doubt caused by the meek and gentle 11 referred to previously). The truth is, without that "soft" interior, your masculine 1 and 8 would make it very difficult to maintain good relationships with others. The flexible, diplomatic 11 is actually one of the most resilient numbers, and strives to keep a peaceful, pleasant equilibrium at all costs.
This is in direct conflict with your confrontational and driven 1 Expression, which would be just as happy walking right over anyone attempting to come between you and your goal. There is an inherent challenge here, Test. (Keep in mind that your Heart's Desire reveals where you find your happiness and contentment, while your Expression reflects your talents, strengths, and vocational attributes.) It is important that you pay attention to what you truly desire from life, before you let your domineering Expression number push you into the type of career that could bring financial success, but not the happiness you seek.
Fortunately, your 8 Personality brings focus, vision, and balance, as well as a healthy dose of business savvy and pragmatism. The shape of the 8 mirrors its most important quality: it balances the forces inside and outside of you. It is, therefore, your greatest asset in finding both success and happiness.
For a good indicator of how well you are balancing the opposing 1 and 11, look at your general state of mind. If you usually feel calm and level headed, you are finding a balance between these potentially conflicting aspects. If you are often impatient or irritated, allow the gentle 2 to play a larger role in your life, as it is likely being dominated by your aggressive 1 Expression.
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 10/1

You are a natural leader, independent and individualistic. You are extremely ambitious, original, and courageous. You employ new and unproven methods. You are an explorer and an innovator. Openness to too many peripheral influences limits and frustrates you. You are self-reliant, confident, and energetic. You easily assume the role of protector. You spring into action when leadership is needed.
You possess executive abilities and are most successful at owning or independently managing a business. You need the freedom to make your decisions, based on your ideas. You can be an astute politician. You also possess the ability to influence the opinions of your milieu.
The number 1 symbolizes the front-runner, pioneer, warrior, risk-taker, and daredevil. Generals, top politicians, successful businessmen, self-made millionaires, religious leaders, inventors, activists, and avant-garde artists are often born with a 1 Expression.
Strength and perseverance are central to your success. You must be willing to travel the frontiers of life, away from the beaten path. You possess a great reserve of willpower that must be directed at your goals. You do not give up, but relentlessly pursue your aims.
You are quite opinionated. People tend to be inspired or repelled by your strong personality. You have great powers of concentration and the ability to visualize your goals, thus making them more attainable. You stand up for your convictions and hold your ground. All of these abilities enhance your chances of success in life.
There is a tendency to be self-centered. You can be domineering and, in the extreme, a bully. You can be highly critical of others, complaining that people lack the industry or determination you possess. But this lack of understanding can alienate friends and family members from you. You must learn to control this tendency to maintain harmony in relationships. Once you are convinced of the inherent correctness of your ideas, you stubbornly -- and sometimes rigidly -- defend and propagate them. Avoid obstinacy and antagonism. You must cultivate balance, compassion, and perseverance.
Pride can be your downfall. You so powerfully identify with your goals and ambitions, you sometimes refuse to see a potential flaw or weakness in your well-laid plans.
You possess strength and determination, which, when applied to any endeavor you are committed to, will lead you to great success in life.
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 8

You appear strong and powerful. You have an impressive personality and can influence and even intimidate through sheer force. You have natural authority. Your competence and enthusiasm attract people with resources. You radiate confidence. People defer to you because they sense your sureness and effectiveness. You also exude a kind of controlled benevolence. People sense that you are generous, once you are convinced of the worthiness of the cause.
It is important for you to dress well. You radiate a kind of raw power and able-ness which needs to be refined and enhanced by your clothing. You may even dress a bit flashy, but that will not harm you. Quality is among your highest priorities and should reflect in your clothing. Although most eights have a strong constitution, they can be prone to indigestion, ulcers, and heart disease due to their reckless eating and drinking habits and their propensity to be workaholics.
Your Achilles heel is your capacity for an egocentric attitude. The negative side of your personality can cause you to be ruthless, greedy, and intensely lonely. Conversely, you can be spontaneous and excited. You are essentially warm and jovial. In your heart of hearts, you want everyone to be as excited and as happy as you. Those who are around you often sense this. Your coworkers and employees usually like you.
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 6

This bridge can only be built through service, more involvement with family and community affairs, and a greater sense of responsibility. You should allow your creativity to flow more freely.
This bridge number often creates eccentrics - people who are highly inventive and unconventional.
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 6

You possess great compassion and seek to be of service to others. You have concern for the weak and the downtrodden. You are a healer and a helper to others. You are capable of giving comfort to those in need and will frequently offer a shoulder for others to cry on. Your task in life is to develop the tools necessary to be truly helpful to others, rather than to simply be a sympathetic ear.
You must find the balance between help and interference. In the same way, you must learn the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons of life. You are naturally balanced. Therefore, you are well equipped to support and ground others in times of trial.
It is in your nature to take on responsibility -- you often fill the void left by others -- and do not turn away from personal sacrifice. At times, you may feel overburdened by the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon you is your well-deserved reward. You try to maintain harmony within the family or group, balancing and fusing divergent forces. You seek marriage and are often a wonderful parent, offering warmth, protection, and understanding to children.
You are generous, kind, and attractive. You are often admired even adored which baffles you. You are humble and yet you carry a deep pride. You move well and gracefully but will have to work to stay in shape. Seek out physical exercise and limit the sweets and dairy you crave to keep yourself from becoming plump and round.
When young, you must be careful not to choose partners for the wrong reasons. Do not let sentimentality influence your decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse. You need to be needed but must learn to discriminate between those you can help and others who are made weaker by your care. After all, it is in your nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among us.
The temptation, and the danger for you, is to think of yourself as the savior of the world, carrying the burdens of others on your shoulders.
You are blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts. However, your creativity may well be suppressed due to your willingness to sacrifice, or your inability to fully appreciate your talents.
This is not to say that you cannot excel in these areas; on the contrary, you have the talent, and with effort you can make a success in a number of artistic fields. You also have enormous talent in business. You are blessed with a great deal of charm and charisma, which you use effectively to attract the people and support you need.
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 1/1

You are a leader. You have a great ambition and a strong drive for success. You are highly independent and dislike the restrictions of having to work with others. You easily become frustrated with the routine. You are a pioneer, a gambler, and an initiator. You are very creative; you possess a keen and rapid mind.
You have excellent business instincts and with the appropriate training can run large organizations and big businesses. You use information for a specific purpose. Knowledge is a practical tool in your hands; you dislike information or knowledge for its own sake. You possess a broad vision and a great capacity for motivating others. You have great will power that will be tested, especially during the years 28 to 56. But your opportunity for accomplishment is enormous.
You are generally open to the ideas of others, but you can be extremely stubborn and hardheaded once you become attached to your plans.
Avoid laziness and procrastination. You are given to anger and frustration and tend to force the issue at times when things are not developing as rapidly as you would like.
Your determination, will power, and inventiveness are the keys to your success and will likely bring you much personal reward and financial success.
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 5

Your Life Path and Birth Day numbers indicate that having a more dynamic, sometimes even impulsive, approach to events and opportunities may help you progress more quickly and smoothly. This does not mean you should ignore common sense and due diligence, but with a 5 Bridge you can afford to have more faith in your gut feelings.
For most people, when things happen rapidly and we have little control over events, it can confuse and even paralyze our ability to move forward. In contrast, you actually do well in hectic, chaotic situations. Your first impression is usually correct, and your first choice is often your best option.
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 0

This is a less demanding challenge. Growth is allowed to take place without one particularly serious obstacle. This does not mean that there will not be challenges on your path, but there is no single and consistent challenge during this period. However, you are being challenged to stay faithful and focused on your highest ideals.
There is an opportunity to go deeper within yourself, and discover the inner being that is you.
Your Second Challenge is in place from approximately age 30 through 55.
Your Second Challenge is 3

You are your own worst critic. You suppress your individuality and creativity. Each time you want to make an impression, you doubt yourself beforehand, and criticize yourself ruthlessly afterward. Your criticism of yourself is far more severe than anyone else's. As a result, you tend to play it safe by staying on the surface, indulging in superficialities. You rarely express what goes on deep inside of you; instead, you cover up your feelings with humor or perfunctory remarks.
You often feel alone and lonely. Your fear of social interaction causes you to strain conversation by making too many jokes and forced joviality. It may help you to find a creative outlet for your imagination, possibly through writing, painting, singing or dance.
At the bottom of the challenge is an effort to bring out your true self. You will learn to truly value your own creative talents above anyone else's judgments. This must be viewed as a process of individuation, in which you become a whole human being, independent and free of the need to conform to others.
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 3
Your Fourth Challenge is most strongly felt during the latter part of your life, beginning at approximately age of 60.
Your Fourth Challenge is 3
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 5

Your 5 bridge suggests you a need to be more flexible and adaptable. Be willing to go out on a limb; try being more adventurous and unconventional. A dynamic approach will be helpful in the challenges and opportunities you encounter, especially when your career is involved. (This is less the case in your personal life.) Make freedom, and freedom of expression, a high priority in your life.
Your strength lies in using your creative talents in a business-oriented manner. Your weakness is your tendency to suppress your creativity in favor of proven methods, even if you know there are better ways. Don't be afraid to make waves.
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 7/7

As you mature, you will become increasingly occupied with the larger questions of life, reading, contemplating and searching for a deeper understanding of who you are and what this life is all about. You may turn to philosophy or religion, but will likely examine a wide array of areas, broadening your knowledge in many disciplines.
Your intuition grows stronger, as does your ability to look beneath the surface of every subject you study. You are able to analyze abstract questions and live according to your higher ideals. You may find yourself needing more time alone; your need for privacy will likely increase.
If you already have several sevens in your chart, you will have to guard against becoming withdrawn, and alienated. If you have no sevens, you will now have the ability to deepen your understanding of one particular field. You will have the opportunity to become grounded in a particular area of study.
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 1 and lasts until age 30

The first part of your life, through your late 20's or early 30's, is a period of much intensity. When the 1 dominates, it requires fortitude, courage, and flexibility. You are forced to use every one of your talents to achieve individuality and independence. This is a period of integration and focusing on your life's dreams.
Your ability to stay the course is repeatedly challenged, but adequate resources become available to assist you. Resilience, independence, and fortitude are required. As you strengthen these characteristics, they become an integral part of your personality and help you to emerge stronger for it. This cycle marks a time of progress in your development.
Your Second Period Cycle runs from your mid 30's until your late 50's.
Your Second Period Cycle is 1

The middle years of your life (approximately ages 30 to 60) find you on an intense path of personal growth. You are required to adapt frequently to the many ups and downs in your life.
When 1 rules the second Period Cycle it focuses on self-empowerment. To facilitate this, situations occur that force you to dig deep to find the courage required to face your challenges. You have love and support, but circumstances will often demand that you rely heavily on your own strengths.
Fortunately, throughout this approximately thirty-year period, you often have confirmation that your gut feelings are correct and feel you are moving in the right direction. You will likely find yourself in a leadership position, strengthening your self-confidence even more.
Your Third Period Cycle covers the later part of your life, starting in your early 60's.
Your Third Period Cycle is 4

Test, chances are you are as busy as ever in the latter period of your life. Whether it is because you continue to work or become involved in a project by choice, you continue to move forward, finding reward through your efforts.
During this time, you build an even stronger foundation in many areas of your life. Your home, family, and finances remain important but your inner/spiritual and emotional life develops as well. You become increasingly concerned with moral issues and matters of justice. You may be drawn to volunteer, perhaps for a non-profit relating to injustice and inequality.
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 2 and runs from birth until approximately age 30

Test, this Pinnacle causes you to be extremely sensitive, intuitive, and full of insight. It is a period that requires patience and the development of inner awareness. You are being asked to use gentle power and persuasion to obtain your desired goals. Direct approaches, forceful displays, and confrontations will likely work against you. You will find the most satisfactory roles to be supportive. You are now a gifted advisor, a diplomat and a peacemaker. Your insight into other people's feelings and motivations is so acute that you seem to be able to see right to the core of things. But rather than use these gifts to create differences between people, you must use them to create peace, to mend rifts, to harmonize.
Your challenge during this period is to bring balance to duality in every form, and at every level. You will recognize the value of both sides of an argument and be able to see the middle ground where peace can be made. You can create the atmosphere in which both sides can compromise and work harmoniously. You are the glue that keeps people and important projects together.
The weaknesses you must face and overcome are too much sensitivity. You may be tempted to indulge your feelings, to be too easily hurt. You may lack self-confidence, especially at the beginning of the Pinnacle when your heightened sensitivity and awareness make you conscious of your own shortcomings. You may succumb to fear and hesitation. All of this can lead to emotional turmoil. You need courage and the willingness to reach out for support.
Your sensitivity will make you acutely appreciative of beauty and harmonious environments. At the same time, you need beauty and harmony around you. You have an increased appetite for music and the arts in general. You may find that your musical talents coming to the surface. If you do not already play an instrument, give in to any inclination to take one up.
A person in a 2 Pinnacle who uses his or her sensitivity, understanding, and insight is very appreciated by others. You may not fully realize just how much others appreciate and respect you. This may cause you to feel undervalued, or that you are not getting the recognition you deserve. You appear shy and humble, particularly if this is your first Pinnacle, but inside there is much pride that must be kept in check.
You may want to hide from the tumult of life, or from difficult situations. This may tempt you to color the facts in order to protect harmony. Be careful of this tendency, because it often backfires.
You have an eye for precision and detail. Your taste in all aspects of life is enhanced and you possess a certain class that others admire. If you make the most of these qualities, your appearance is considerably improved, making you both attractive and graceful.
Your Second Pinnacle Cycle lasts nine years and tends to have a considerable influence on your productive/professional life.
Your Second Pinnacle cycle is 5 and runs from age 30 until age 39

This is a period that will teach the realities of freedom and expansion. You will travel great distances, meet many new and interesting people, experience many adventures, and essentially come to know the world. You are in a period of accelerated experimentation and learning. Experience is your teacher. Your ability with words is greatly increased. You can write and speak with ease. You are also able to successfully promote yourself. In fact, this is the source of much adventure; new opportunities for work, travel, and exotic experiences present themselves with regularity.
Your challenge is to prevent yourself from becoming a rolling stone. You need to ground yourself in a particular discipline, career, or relationship. This will not limit your freedoms so much as give you a base for operation. Otherwise, you may find yourself skipping from one meaningless job to the next, one superficial relationship after another. You can also fall victim to the abuse of food, alcohol, sex, or drugs. You must accept limitations as a necessary base for your freedom. Freedom cannot exist without limitations, otherwise you would be without identity, and without existence.
You may fear being anchored or tied down, which can cause you to skim the surface of a pursuit you enjoy, or important relationships. You must come to know the true meaning of freedom, which is unconditional love. You give your love and energy without the condition of holding on to a place, a person, or an occupation; and you expect the same in return -- to be loved for what you are, rather than someone who belongs to another. There is a highly spiritual path offering itself that requires detachment without loss of love. Many turn away from this and instead choose to maintain a superficial relationship with the world, or with other people.
You must cultivate your talents, especially your verbal and writing abilities. You are likely a gifted salesperson, or promoter.
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 7 and runs from age 39 until age 48

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.
