Interpretations of the Third Pinnacle of Life (Numerology Lesson 21)

You will find here the interpretations for your Third Pinnacle number.

Once again to calculate your Third Pinnacle number, which describes your developing years (from the late thirties to the early forties depending on your Life Path number) you must add the year of birth plus the day of birth and reduce it to a single digit. Don't reduce this down to a master number if the result is a master number 11 or 22.

Below is your reference for finding out when the Second Pinnacle Period will occur in your case. Note that to find the timing you also need to calculate your Life Path number. Notice too that this period is shorter for some numbers and longer for others.

Third Pinnacle 1
If you have not been able to realize any of your dreams by now you will probably act like a bull in a china shop, taking out your frustration on all that dare bring up how little you have achieved. However if previous periods favored your independence and opportunities for leadership you will likely see yourself promoted to where you want to be during this phase.

Third Pinnacle 2
If you have let disputes or family problems go unattended for some years then you are likely to face them as full-blown crises at this time. It is also likely that you may have lost control of your career and by necessity have to work for someone else or are making a lower income than you expected.

Third Pinnacle 3
If you have always wanted a career in show biz or the arts, you might be given a chance for fame later in life during these years. This is definitely an inspirational time that will also serve to expand your social circle. You might also find yourself becoming an influential voice in your community. Falling in love is also possible.

Third Pinnacle 4
This phase will have you reaping what you have sown so far in life. If your previous Pinnacle numbers were supportive to career and money then you will likely see a big pay off from those efforts. If you have worked long and hard to earn somebody's heart than you will likely fall in love. If you have not put much effort into anything then this could be a difficult, lonely and even poverty-stricken time.

Third Pinnacle 5
This influence may have you face a sudden change of some kind that necessitates the need for you to be very adaptable or flexible. You could face a lay off or get a job in a foreign country. You might also have to adjust emotionally after a divorce or a death. Still this influence indicates a second chance for a success and a brand new start in life.

Third Pinnacle 6
During these years finances and career will be of less concern and your focus will turn to enjoying the company of family and friends. Sometimes this influence brings an older relative to live with you or brings new additions to the family (especially grandchildren.) Peace, abundance and family happiness usually dominate these years.

Third Pinnacle 7
This period may bring with it an upsetting incident that throws you for a loop emotionally or puts you in a negative state. Your overall inclination will be to avoid other people and escape into fantasy or addiction. This also might indicate a period of being a workaholic, where nothing else matters but money or fame. Many people seek therapy for a mid life crisis during this kind of phase.

Third Pinnacle 8
These years could bring you a period of unexpected prosperity. You may finally acquire all of the material things you need or acquire a property. An inheritance or lottery win is also likely at this time. A second career or home business started under this influence is also likely to return a generous income.

Third Pinnacle 9
This influence may bring you a spiritual awakening of sorts that makes you want to do more for others than you do for yourself. World events and problems may concern you more than usual and you may be more inclined to live by your convictions. Often during this phase individuals get rid of people or jobs in their life that don't agree with their ethics.

Third Pinnacle 11
At this point you are likely to suffer some sort of mid life crisis that makes you search for the deeper meaning of life. This influence usually brings some sort of shattering of illusions and the need to make careful plans about how one can realize the goals of their higher self in the future. You may also be very interested in spirituality or the occult during this phase and less interested in money or your social life.

Third Pinnacle 22
Usually this influence at this time brings some kind of award or great achievement, especially if your other Pinnacle numbers have supported your aims in the past. If not you will still be given the opportunity to show that side of you that "dares to be grand" whether it be in the spiritual, business or relationship areas of your life. The overall theme of this influence is very calm, upbeat and positive.

Next lesson we will be looking at all of the interpretations for Fourth Pinnacle Period Number.

A Fine Line (Insight of the Day)

Tears poured from her eyes as if there was no tomorrow, and in a sense, for her, there were no tomorrows. That was her reality. Her daughter was in the Shock Trauma Intensive Care Unit (STICU), having sustained a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) as well as numerous other injuries. The 17-year-old patient, still in a coma, had been injured two months earlier and the mother had just been told, "You know, with this kind of injury, your daughter's current condition might be the best she'll ever be."

The nurse who told the mother that night that terrible prognosis might have been 100% correct. But, no mother wants to hear words like that from a nurse. Mothers just want to hear, "Everything is going to be fine. Your daughter (or son) will one day be able to get married, go to school..One day this will merely be remembered as a terrible nightmare."

However, we all know that "bad things happen to good people," and sometimes unfortunately, there is no "happy Hollywood movie ending." No matter how hard the staff tries, people pass away at hospitals all the time.

However, working in a hospital, I've seen first hand, patients who were given "absolutely no hope" to awaken from a coma, sometimes eventually "miraculously" improved. That is why I often tell people, "I love my job because I get to see 'miracles' happen all the time."

I guess one can say I have a unique perspective as I was one of those patients of whom the doctors said, "There is absolutely no hope." I sustained a traumatic brain injury. However, as I said, I've seen many patients suffering from strokes, heart attacks, internal bleeding, who were all given "no hope" diagnoses, but survived and many went on to live productive fulfilling lives.

Why do some patients with absolutely "no hope" diagnoses survive while others do not? I'm not sure whether there is a definite answer to that question. However, the statement made by the nurse to that mother keeps bothering me. Basically, I believe, that nurse was telling the mother not to have hope. (More altruistic people might say that the nurse was preparing the mother for the inevitable.)

On the other hand, good friends often try to help by saying things like, "Mary is going to be just fine, or "Johnny will be well in plenty of time for his senior prom." However, what happens if that, or anything else, does not go the way it is "supposed to"?

I like to say, "Hope can be miraculous." I always say, "I hope.," as I believe that no human knows for sure the eventual outcome. Doctors know statistics. They know, for example, that there is a 98% chance or even a 99.999% chance of something happening. However, no human can say they know with 100% certainty that something will happen, because if one says that, that is when the "one in a million" will happen. It is like the election on TV. The news reporter says, "We predict that the next president will be____ with a 96% chance of certainty." That means they are 96% sure of the winner; however they still leave a 4% possibility of the opponent winning. It happens. Just ask Harry Truman.

Some staff at the hospital might say that a family is in "denial." However, I believe that sometimes denial can be an effective coping skill. I am glad that my family, when I was hurt, "was in a constant state of denial."

I am not saying that the staff should tell families that "Everything is going to be okay." No one can say that -- just as no one can say the opposite. However, I believe that the staff should share a wide range of possible outcomes -- from the worst to the best. When I do that, I always add as a postscript, "My hopes and prayers are with you and your son (or daughter)." Remember, hope can be miraculous. It was for me, as well as many other "hopeless patients." Whether you are in the hospital room, a courtroom, or a board room; a person needs hope!

-----------------------------------------------

By the way: concerning the patient who I spoke about in the beginning of this story, I was fortunate enough to be invited to her high school graduation a few years after her accident and she recently completed a 5K walk for charity. Yes, sometimes hope can be, and is, miraculous!

Solving Problems with a Negative Member of your Family (The Secret Daily Teachings)

If you have a problem with a member of your family who is negative, begin by writing a list of all the things you appreciate about that person.

Remember to include gratitude to them for giving you a great desire for positivity in your life; because that is a gift they are giving you.

As you focus with all of your strength on appreciation, you will not only reduce your exposure to the negativity, but at the same time you will be attracting positive people into your life.

Get yourself on to the appreciation frequency, and the law of attraction can only surround you with people who are in a positive state.

May the joy be with you.

Interpretations of the Second Pinnacle of Life (Numerology Lesson 20)

In this lesson you will find the interpretations for your second pinnacle number.

Once again to calculate your Second Pinnacle number, which describes your developing years (from the late twenties to the mid forties depending on your Life Path number) you must add the year of birth plus the day of birth and reduce it to a single digit. Don't reduce this down to a master number if the result is a master number 11 or 22.

Once again here is also your reference for finding out when the Second Pinnacle Period will occur in your case. Note that to find the timing you also need to calculate your Life Path number.

Second Pinnacle 1
You are likely to be a very successful and dynamic adult. Chances are that most things in your life are well set and you are likely to have the perfect job and the perfect family. Your achievements are more than likely to be well recognized by the public. A career in politics might be evolving.

Second Pinnacle 2
Your success in life greatly depends on your ability to work with other people. You might find yourself working a lot behind the scenes in order to achieve a greater goal. You are not likely to be in business by yourself. Both your work and family life may be very demanding during these years.

Second Pinnacle 3
Your livelihood might depend greatly on how others perceive you. You might not have children or settled down at this time and instead are enjoying some kind of unorthodox relationship. Chances are that you are a performer, freelancer or leading a lifestyle that stimulates your interest in popular culture.

Second Pinnacle 4
During this period in your life, you may find yourself facing a lot of rivals or struggling with some kind of competition. Unfortunately this does forecast a time when finances may be limited for some years. Fortunately economic hardships can be overcome with practicality and the willingness to work hard.

Second Pinnacle 5
You probably will lead an unorthodox lifestyle and it is very likely you will be travelling a lot during these years. Individuals in this period may forsake domesticit and financial security to satisfy a thirst for adventure. You are likely to be your own boss or a freelancer. Flexibility is key to your happiness.

Second Pinnacle 6
This is an influence that foresees the predominance of home and family matters over anything else. Usually this pinnacle number is associated with having many children or having an extended family living with you. Chances are that you have also forsaken a dream or a career to take care of family matters.

Second Pinnacle 7
Unless you have somehow made a name for yourself as a serious academic you might find this period in your life to be very slow and uninspiring. Chances are that you have forsaken friends and family to follow some sort of passion or personal pursuit. Individuals under this influence often find themselves in therapy or preferring to be a hermit.

Second Pinnacle 8
During this influence, you are likely to prosper and movement up through traditional corporate and business structures is relatively easy. This is a very rational period in your life and more than likely you will be successfully building a financial empire. Your family life is also likely to be quite settled and happy.

Second Pinnacle 9
During this influence some kind of crisis may occur that changes your perspective of the world drastically. Usually this involves some kind of healing crisis or devastating emotional experience that puts you on a spiritual path. During this time you will become less selfish and more philanthropic in your ways.

Second Pinnacle 11
The emphasis on this period is on either looking for a teacher or using your personal skills to spread some sort of message. You are eager to acquire new wisdom and often find the mentor that you need to further a career in the arts or to develop spiritually. Many find this a very optimistic and positive influence.

Second Pinnacle 22
Many great things are completely possible for you. If you have not had an education or a big break to do with your career, chances are that you will get the opportunity to practically fulfill those dreams now. It is also very likely that you will meet a soulmate and begin a family at this time. If you have already started a family it is likely that the love between all of you will grow even stronger.

Next lesson we will be looking at all of the interpretations for Third Pinnacle Period Number which describes the autumn of a person's life.

Move in the Other Direction (Bob Proctor)

Thirty years ago I had the good fortune of listening to a recorded message by the late Earl Nightingale. He taught me many valuable lessons. Earl's philosophy changed the course of my life.

I recall one in particular which stands out in my mind. "If you travel in the opposite direction to the masses, you will probably never make another mistake."

That was good advice. It seems incredible that people in such large numbers can be wrong, but they are. Historically, they always have been.

Here is an excellent example. Generally speaking, first time home buyers are young. Young people are frequently influenced by older relatives, friends and neighbours.

In Toronto real estate sales are down - way down. There are not many people purchasing real estate. If a young person or couple is thinking of buying their first home, the odds are pretty good the advice they would get from their seniors would be, "Don't buy now - this is not a good market, not many people are buying."

That is precisely why you should buy. Sales are down, that's correct ... but, so are prices. If you're listening to advice from the masses you will always be in the same financial shape they are in.

Don't wait for another boom in the market, when everyone is buying ... that is when the prices are up. Now is an excellent time to buy a home, the market is low. Then, sell when it's high.

The masses have that equation reversed. That's why they are not winning. This applies to almost everything people do. Try going to lunch at an off hour, the restaurant will be empty and the service great.

To your success,

Interpretations of the First Pinnacle of Life (Numerology Lesson 19)

In this lesson you will find the interpretations for your first pinnacle numbers.

Once again, to calculate your First Pinnacle number, which describes your developing years (from the mid twenties to the mid thirties depending on your Life Path number) you must add the month and day of birth and reduce it to a single digit.

Once again, here is your reference for finding out when the First Pinnacle Period will occur in your life. Note that to find the timing you also need to calculate your Life Path number.

Here are the interpretations for the 1st Pinnacle Numbers

In general the influence of the number 1 pinnacle is about your need for creating an identity that is separate from your parents and uniquely your own. It represents the desire to express one's achievements and set down the foundations for achievement later in life.

First Pinnacle 1
You are a born leader. Most of your youth was likely spent on learning leadership skills and experimenting in social situations to see how you could get on top of them. Challenges you may have faced in this period may have included overcoming stubbornness and selfishness.

First Pinnacle 2
This influence creates a very sensitive and imaginative individual. You may have felt understood as a child and the scars you bear from being hurt are probably carried over into childhood. People with this influence like to stick close to home and are very influenced by their mother or heritage.

First Pinnacle 3
This creates a very imaginative, creative individual who may be a bit too "out there" for others to handle in their early years. Unless you were specifically guided to develop your artistic and creative potential you may not have benefited from your own latent talents during this period. Others may simply perceive you as irresponsible.

First Pinnacle 4
You may have been born into poverty or demanding circumstances. For one reason or another you may have spent much of your childhood working. The good news is that despite your lack of freedom, you will usually have achieved a lot during this formative period. This can also indicate an individual pursuing a heavy academic career.

First Pinnacle 5
This number indicates that it might have been very difficult for you to develop any firm foundations or roots as a child. Your family may have moved a lot or you may have been a foster child or adopted. This restlessness may have resulted in a lack of focused direction in your twenties and thirties.

First Pinnacle 6
You may have found it hard to let go of the apron strings. It is likely that the immediate members of the family hampered your freedom by relying on you too heavily for financial or emotional support. This pinnacle number can also indicate an early or arranged marriage.

First Pinnacle 7
You were a brilliant child that was probably very misunderstood by others. The difficulties that you encountered socially as a child have probably lead to misunderstandings in adult life. Unable to connect very well to others emotionally, you may prefer to retreat to a world of your own.

First Pinnacle 8
This is the mark of someone who may have been born into an affluent family. If not you may have demonstrated an early talent for commerce or business that led you to be quite well off before the age of 30. This number is so practical that you may have faced the "real world" by going into business instead of getting an education.

First Pinnacle 9
You have a lot of convictions and principles that may have been expressed at an early age by fighting off bullies and standing up for the underdog. You are giving and altruistic in nature, to the point that it might be difficult for you to maintain a job or pursue a money making venture. You are very ethical and wise from a young age.

First Pinnacle 11
You are born with a great deal of imagination, intelligence and energy. The problem is that it is hard for a young person to handle the intensity of being this number. You are friendly, cooperative and are very distressed by a lack of harmony. Chances are that you discover psychic talents before the age of 30.

First Pinnacle 22
You were probably born into some privilege and if not, managed somehow to build something great that you can call your own before the age of 30. As you are such an intense and intelligent individual, your talents may have been unnoticed when you were a child and your natural brilliance may have been mistaken for waywardness.

Next week's newsletter will take you through the interpretations for the Second pinnacle of life.

Giving and Receiving (The Secret Daily Teachings)

Giving opens up the door to receiving. You have so many opportunities to give every day.

Give kind words. Give a smile. Give appreciation and love. Give compliments. You can give courtesy to other motorists while you are driving. You can give a smile to the car parking attendant. You can give a warm greeting to the newspaper stand person or the person who makes your coffee. You can give by allowing a stranger to go ahead of you into an elevator, and you can give by asking which floor they are going to and pressing the button for them. If someone drops something you can give a helping hand and pick it up for them. You can give warm embraces to those you love. And you can give appreciation and encouragement to everyone.

There are so many opportunities for you to give and thereby open the door to receiving.

May the joy be with you.

Calculating the Pinnacle Numbers (Numerology Lesson 18)

Pinnacle numbers are another one of those calculations that are based on your life path number. A pinnacle is an experience occurring over a specific time in our life. Each person is thought to have four pinnacle periods and depending on the numerology each of these periods of life experience will have their own unique flavor or theme to them.

The First Pinnacle covers the early maturation years from roughly 0 years to 28-35, depending on your Life Path Number.

The Second Pinnacle covers what is normally for most people the child bearing or family raising years.

The Third Pinnacle covers middle age and growing maturity.

The Fourth Pinnacle covers the senior years.

The timing of pinnacles varies for each of the first nine Life Path numbers. Here is a chart for determining the timing of pinnacles keyed to your Life Path number:

The Pinnacles (age span for each of the 4 pinnacles)...

For this example we are using Martha Stewart who was born August 3, 1941.

Our first step would be to calculate her Life Path number. The Life Path number is calculated by reducing the birthday to a single digit. In her case, the calculation would look like this.

8 + 3 + (1+9+4+1) = 8+3 + 6 = 17

1+7 = 8

Martha Stewart's Life Path number is 8. From looking at the chart above we can see that her first life Pinnacle period lasted from birth to age 28, the second life period lasted from age 30 to 38, the third pinnacle period lasted from 38 to 46 and the fourth lasts from age 47 and beyond.

The First Pinnacle is defined by adding the month and day of birth. In her case 8 +3 = 11.

Note that master numbers are not reduced in any of these equations.

The Second Pinnacle is defined by adding the number that was arrived at by reducing your year of birth plus the day of birth. In Martha's case the equation is 3+6 = 9

The Third Pinnacle is arrived at by adding together the sum of the first and second pinnacle numbers. In Martha's case the equation is:

11 (First Pinnacle) + 9 (Second Pinnacle) = 20

2+0 = 2.

Martha Stewart's Third Pinnacle Number is 2.

The Fourth Pinnacle number is arrived at by adding the month and year of birth. In Martha's case the equation is: 8 + (1+9+4+1) = 8 + 6 = 14. This reduces to 1+4 =5.

Martha's Fourth Pinnacle year is 5.

From looking at this we can interpret Martha Stewart's four life pinnacles in the following way.

Her First Life Pinnacle was dominated by the number 11. This of course is a master number and Martha Stewart probably spent her early years being the master of many different disciplines. It can also mean extreme sensitivity and being motivated by a desire to please parents.

Her Second Life Pinnacle is a number 9. This marked a period in Stewart's life where she made dramatic sweeping changes. It is a period that marked the beginning of her great success as well as the end of her marriage. The flavor of this era in her life would have been very emotional. Any move she made for better or worse would have been drastic.

Her Third Life Pinnacle number is 2, which is all about partnerships. This is the period in Stewart's life when she broke free with the help of her business partner and orchestrated massive deals with broadcasters and K-Mart.

Her Fourth Life Pinnacle number is 5. This is the period Stewart is in now. This means that her career is not likely to show any signs of slowing down and that she will likely be influential until very late her in life. It is also a karmic number that can indicate freedom from financial or domestic worries.

The next three newsletters will cover the numerous interpretations for all of the Pinnacle numbers. We will start with the interpretations of the First Pinnacle (early life) Pinnacle numbers in the next newsletter and will continue on with the interpretations of the Second, Third and Fourth Pinnacle Numbers in subsequent lessons.

Yours in Numbers,

Calculating Your Life Challenge Numbers (Numerology Lesson 17)

In numerology, we use subtraction to find three individual numbers that represent life challenges. The interpretations of these numbers represent the obstacles, hurdles and difficulties that one is most likely to face during certain phases of life.

The first number that is calculated is your Early Challenge number. This represents difficulties that you will face during the first 28 years of your life.

The second number that is calculated is the Middle Challenge number. This represents difficulties that you are likely to face during the second 28 years of life.

The third number is the Main Challenge number. This number not only emphasizes the difficulties that you will face during the latter part of your life but it also represents the chronic obstacles that you will face during your entire life.

The Main challenge number is considered to be the most dominant of all the challenge numbers. The main challenge number takes precedence over the other two because it represents obstacles that may come from within. It is the devil (the issue) that you often find yourself wrestling with your entire life. It is the question that burns inside you that you have always hoped would somehow be answered before you die.

The Early Challenge number is less influential which may represent more episodic or situational problems. Early challenge numbers can indicate problems due to circumstances or parents. It can also represent internal. These problems of course can disappear as the child matures and enters the middle years of the life cycle.

The Middle Challenge number is also situational and usually the result of hardship or complications brought on by other individuals in your life. The number can also represent behavioral problems as well as interference from natural forces that are beyond your control.

Your first step to calculating any of the challenge numbers is to reduce your day, month and birthday down into a single digit. For example, my birthday June 7, 1960 reduces down to:

Month 6

Day 7

Year 7 (1+ 9 + 6 + 0 = 16 = 1+6 = 7)

Remember to reduce all numbers including master numbers down to a single digit in order to perform this calculation properly.

Calculating life challenge numbers is slightly different than other numerology calculation because the sums that comprise the Month, Day and Year of birth are not added together. Instead they are treated as individual sums that can be subtracted from each other.

To calculate your Early Life Challenge number subtract the difference between the MONTH and the DAY of your birth. In my case it would be 7-6 = 1. My early life challenge number is 1.

The second calculation is for the Middle Life Challenge. This means finding the difference between the DAY of birth and the Year of Birth. I chose my birthday because it leads to a unique calculation. 7-7 = 0. In this particular numerology reading there is an interpretation for the number 0.

To find your Main Life Challenge number find the difference between your Early Life Challenge Number and your Middle Life Challenge Number. Subtract the lower number from the higher number. In my example the resulting equation is 1 (Middle Life Number ) - 0 (Early Life Number) =1. My main challenge number is one.

If you get the same number twice or even three times it means that challenge may be doubly emphasized in your life.

For example if your Early Life Challenge number is the same as your Middle Life Challenge Number then problems from your childhood may dominate all of your years. It can also mean that many of the obstacles that you have had to face were not of your own making.

If your Main Challenge Number is the same as your Middle Life Number then many of the problems you encounter could be

caused by the decisions you are making as an adult. Reading the interpretation of that number could give you clues as to how you often manage to be your own worst enemy.

If all three of your numbers are the same then it is safe to assume that the cosmos is trying to make you learn a life lesson by manifesting unpleasant situations wherever you go!

In next week's newsletter we will provide you with the interpretations for all eight of the Challenge numbers.

The reason there are only eight interpretations is because no difference results to more of than the sum of eight when performing Life Challenge Number calculations.

Visualizing

If you're at least visualizing enough to wonder whether or not you're doing it right, you're doing it right, and you're way, way ahead of the game.

Yeee-haaaa!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Even Better Idea 

What if every unexpected delay, postponement, or redirect, only meant that at the very last second, right before the scheduled manifestation, I had an even better idea?

It happens.

Lovely Words / Beat the System / Time and Space (Notes from the Universe)

Lovely Words

Whatever you have to say, say it with love.

Love you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beat the System 

Usually the most beautiful people, the most popular and loved, the "in" and chic, cool and hip, are the last ones to ever wonder about life, how it really works, manifesting change, and making a difference.

You beat the system.

Ever proud.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time and Space

Once one passes through the entry gates of time and space (this applies to you), it may be handy to know that simply dwelling upon joy, abundance, or anything else involving people, will literally draw complete strangers into your life, as if they were puppets on marionette strings. Creating new and totally unpredictable circumstances that will bring you more, more, more of whatever you were thinking about.

Rebel yell optional.

Interpretations of the Later Life Cycle Numbers (Numerology Lesson 16)

In previous newsletters we revealed how to calculate and interpret your Early and Middle Life Cycle numbers. In this edition we are going to reveal the interpretations of the Later Life Cycle numbers which describe how you are destined to live out your later years.

If you have already calculated your Middle Life Cycle Number, then the short cut to finding your Later Life Cycle Number is to simply boost it up a number. For instance if your Middle Life Cycle number would be 4 and your Later Life Cycle would be 5. If your middle life cycle was a 22 then you would revert to the beginning of the numerology system by reading your later life cycle as a one.

Just as a reminder, this calculation is figured by taking your DAY and MONTH of birth and reducing them down to a single digit. You then take the numbers of the YEAR that you turned or will turn 85 and reduce that to a single digit. You then add both of these sums and reduce it once more to a single digit. However the exception is if this sum adds up to result in any one of the two master numbers 11 or 22. In this case you do not reduce the Later Life Cycle Number but utilize the interpretations for both master numbers instead.

Here are the interpretations for all the Later Life Cycle Numbers which cover the influences from age 59 to age 85.

Later Life Cycle Number 1
There is no such thing as early retirement for you. In fact you will probably recieve your greatest claim and fame in your later years. You are more active than most seniors and may even begin a new career while many others are simply kicking back and taking it easy!

Later Life Cycle Number 2
You are destined to live out your later years with one special loved one. This is a harmonious number that promises you health, love and a comfortable finacial situation. There will be plenty of time and money for socializing, spending quality time with family and pursuing your favorite hobbies.

Later Life Cycle Number 3
You may develop a second career as an artist or an entertainer. If you already are one you may keep performing or producing work until your health prohibits it. This life cycle number can also indicate fame later in life. Things should come easily to you and you are sure to enjoy the company of both old and young friends.

Later Life Cycle Number 4
Either through necessity or choice you may find yourself working many years longer than most people. Many people with this life cycle find it hard to give up control of the empire they have worked so hard to achieve. As you probably have spawned a huge family you may continue working to support your brood. Taking care of others makes you the happiest at this stage.

Later Life Cycle Number 5
You are likely to spend your later years travelling around the world or pursuing some eclectic hobby or interest. You are likely to be unburdened by financial problems and will have the freedom to chase any dream that you like. Your natural friendliness, curiosity, and ability to tell a good story makes you especially beloved by children and grand children. It is very important for you to avoid boredom.

Later Life Cycle Number 6
You are likely to be very content and financially secure. Your family and especially your partner and grandchildren become the most important concerns in your life. Chances are that you will become very active in your family life and act as a secondary provider to your own children. It is a six that is most likely to adopt a child later in life.

Later Life Cycle Number 7
In your later years you may prefer to be by yourself to the extent that you are percieved as too introverted or isolated by others. This is because you prefer reading or pursuing studies that you never were able to in the earlier part of your life. You will be very independent and most likely develop an interest in metaphysical or spiritual hobbies. Quantum physics is a familiar passion of elderly 7s.

Later Life Cycle Number 8
You are a pillar of the community who has probably amassed a prodigious amount of wealth. As you have few concerns, you can pursue any recreational or adventuroous activities that you choose. However your responsible nature often finds you pursuing a second career that might have something to do with politics, religion or philanathropy. You may also be singled out for an award or some kind of specialized acclaim.

Later Life Cycle Number 9
You are a cheery and content individual who is grateful for all of the lessons that life has provided you. You are a big believer in positive thought and believe that mankind can be healed by maintaining a positive attitude. You live by your convictions and often demonstrate your benevolence through acts of charity, healing and educating others.

Later Life Cycle Number 11
In your later years you are mainly concerned with spirituality and in particular, finding peace of mind in a troubled world. You may explore new religions or travel far and wide to find answers to the human condition. Your religious bent may also lead you to a religious or spiritual career of some kind. Money may also matter little to you and you may give a great deal of your wealth away.

Later Life Cycle Number 22
You are likely to enjoy health and vitality in your later years but age may bring out latent psychic talents and sensitivities. This is why it is crucial for you to take time out to soothe your nerves. This might be a challenge for you as 22 number seniors are always on the go. This may not be a time of retirement for you but rather a time when you achieve more than you have in your entire life!

In the next installment of this lesson we are going to introduce you to the fascinating art of calculating your Life Challenge numbers. This is numerology at its most eclectic and exact as this time... instead of just adding number equivilents together we will also be subtracting to arrive at three specific challenge numbers.

Yours in Numbers,

Mike Madigan from "Numerologist".

Use Value (The Secret Daily Teachings)

"Give every person more in use value than you take from them in cash value."

WALLACE WATTLES (1860-1911)

The Science of Getting Rich

Remember this, and never take money from anyone without giving more in use value than the money you are receiving.

In people's lives, this is one of the main causes of lack of money, unsuccessful job experiences, and failed businesses.

Give more value than the money you are receiving; in your job, in your business, and in every part of your life.

May the joy be with you.

Interpretation of the Middle Life Numbers (Numerology Lesson 15)

Continuing on with our investigation into the meaning of the Life Cycle Numbers, we now move on to discussing the interpretations of the Middle Life Cycle Numbers. As you may recall from the last lesson, the numerological calculations of the Middle Life Numbers describe what influences the second 28 years of any one person's life.

To refresh your memory, this calculation is figured by taking your DAY and MONTH of birth and reducing them down to a single digit. You then take the numbers of the YEAR that you turned or will turn 57 and reduce that to a single digit. You then add both of these sums and reduce it once more to a single digit. However the exception is if this sum adds up to result in any one of the two master numbers 11 or 22. In this case you do not reduce the Middle Life Cycle Number but utilize the interpretations for both master numbers instead.

If you have already calculated your Early Life Cycle Number, then the short cut to finding your Middle Life Cycle Number is to simply boost it up a number. For instance if your Early Life Cycle number was 3, then your Middle Life Cycle number would be 4 and your Later Life Cycle would be 5.

Here are the interpretations for all the Middle Life Cycle Numbers, which cover the influences from age 0 to age 28.

Middle Life Cycle Number 1
You will enjoy a healthy, productive adult life. Usually this period is devoted to working hard to realize a great dream. Typically you have launched out on your own and are enjoying running a thriving business. The temptation is to live a life that is all work and no play. Taking time out to smell the flowers is recommended for these adults who are driven by an ambition and a need to be the best.

Middle Life Cycle Number 2
You are fated to work with others or as part of a team. Your success is very dependent on the success of those around you so during this period you have probably greatly enhanced your personal and social skills. Striking out on your own does not work as well for you as selling someone else's abilities. You are blessed with loving relationships and many friends who appreciate your loving support.

Middle Life Cycle Number 3
Things come easily to an adult number 3, especially money. However, you spend it as fast as you make it. You probably lead a creative and carefree life. You make the most money using your artistic talents. You are a very popular individual although your love life may be filled with a series of relationships rather than just one solute. Watch out for a tendency to be too generous or extravagant and remember to save money for your old age!

Number Middle Life Cycle Number 4
You are most likely a very calm, stable and reliable personality who can handle a great deal of responsibility. You are more likely to be in a conservative occupation. You are likely to save a great deal of money during these years. Your health can be risked by working too hard. You are a loyal individual who often lucks out by finding a mate for life. You are a great parent and are fated to have lots of children.

Number Middle Life Number Cycle 5
You may feel a bit lost in life or like you are having difficulty settling down. You are an impulsive individual who is fated to go through a series of jobs and relationships. This is because you become bored very easily. You prefer a life that is full of adventures over security and stability and as a result break many hearts. You are destined to travel or pursue exotic experiences simply to satisfy your endless curiosity.

Middle Life Cycle Number 6
You may feel like you have to work harder than others to make a living. This is a very karmic path and it may be difficult for you to get ahead in anyway without first making personal sacrifices or promising to share your wealth with others. Even at this stage in your life you may find yourself taking care of your family or other people's families. Your adult years really do suit the phrase "you get your rewards in heaven, rather than on earth."

Middle Life Cycle Number 7
Sevens are often fated to continually pursue an academic career and if not they are usually passionate about learning about some subject on their own. Many adult sevens are loners and eccentrics so they may suffer from social problems that make it difficult to find a partner or suitable employment. The "real world" may seem boring to you so your challenge is to try not to drift so far away from society that you are penniless.

Middle Life Cycle Number 8
Your adult years are likely blessed with supremely high levels of attainment. You are destined to be wealthy and in a leadership position. You have a knack for making wise investments and when it comes to achieving your goals, the sky is the limit for you. You are probably a pillar of the community and if you are attentive to your friends and family you will probably enjoy harmonious relationships throughout your adult life.

Middle Life Cycle Number 9
Your adult years may be highly concerned with spiritual matters and self-investigation. You are probably a humanitarian who is less materialistic than others. Your natural generosity often hinders you from saving much money however others are deeply grateful for your compassion and empathy. You may not accomplish much in terms of career or education but you are sure to be blessed by many fans and friends.

Middle Life Cycle Number 11
You are so concerned with spiritual and ethical matters and changing the world for the better that it may be difficult for you to find suitable employment. Chances are that you will spend a lot of time travelling or seeking out the truth about life. Many of you are adept at metaphysics. Teaching, healing and uplifting others best maximizes your spiritual talents. Nervous disorders and nervous breakdowns are also common for adult 11s because they are so sensitive to everything.

Middle Life Cycle Number 22
You are a spiritually advanced individual who can achieve great things as an adult. However you need to be prepared to recognize the many opportunities that do come your way as opposed to cultivating a Zen like state of bliss. Usually 22s do very well in any occupation they choose but as they are master builders they should try to launch a great new scheme of some kind whether it be related to science, business, lifestyle or metaphysics.

In the next lesson we will take you through the final stage of Life Cycle numerology by providing you with the interpretations of the Later Year numbers
