Lesson 21
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.
Life Path 1st Pinnacle
Number Period In Years
1 0-35
2/11 0-34
3 0-33
4/22 0-32

Here are the interpretations for the 1st Pinnacle Numbers In general the influence of the number 1st 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 lesson will take you through the interpretations for the Second pinnacle of life.
Lesson 22
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.
Life Path 2nd Pinnacle(by age)
1 36-44
2/11 35-43
3 34-42
4/22 33-41
5 32-40
6 31-39
7 30-38
8 29-37
9 28-36
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 domesticity 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 I will be looking at all of the interpretations for Third Pinnacle Period Number which describes the autumn of a person's life.
Lesson 23
In this lesson you will find 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 First Pinnacle Number and the Second Pinnacle Number together 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.
Life Path 3rd Pinnacle (Period By Age)
1 45-53
2/11 44-52
3 43-51
4/22 42-50
5 41-49
6 40-48
7 39-47
8 38-46
9 37-45
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.
In the next lesson, we will be providing you with the interpretations for the last years of your life - The Final Pinnacle.
Lesson 24
In this lesson you will find the interpretations for your Fourth (and final) Pinnacle number which covers the years from ages 40 and beyond (depending of course what your Life Path Number is!)
Once again to calculate your Fourth Pinnacle number, which describes your later, senior years you must first calculate your Life Path Number by adding 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 Fourth Pinnacle Period will occur in your case. Note that to find the timing you also need to calculate your Life Path number. Remember too that this period is shorter for some numbers and longer for others.
The Pinnacles (age span for each of the 4 pinnacles)
Life Path Fourth Pinnacle
1 54 and beyond
2/11 53 and beyond
3 52 and beyond
4/22 51 and beyond
5 50 and beyond
6 49 and beyond
7 48 and beyond
8 47 and beyond
9 46 and beyond
Fourth Pinnacle 1
There will be no slowing down for you! Individuals with a number one Fourth pinnacle are not only reluctant to slow down they may even develop a second career. Unfortunately nervous problems and oversensitivity can characterize this number which needs a great deal of approval and recognition in order to maintain mental health. Your success in later years will also depend a great deal on your initiative and abilities to make others believe in your goals.
Fourth Pinnacle 2
If you have this as your Fourth pinnacle number you are very fortunate as not only are you likely to round out the end of your life with a long-term partner you will also experience some freedom from financial worries. One problem may be a tendency to live in the past and a tendency to force your children to live up to unrealistic expectations. It is not likely you will be working in your old age unless it is on an artistic project or favorite hobby.
Fourth Pinnacle 3
The promise of this Fourth Pinnacle Number is complete financial freedom. Most threes are prosperous until a very old age. Many of them choose to work professionally at a career simply because they love their careers. If this is your Fourth Pinnacle number it is also likely you will do a lot of travelling in your senior years or at the very least, settling down in an exotic locale that provides plenty of social activity and entertainment. It will be a cardinal sin for you to be bored!
Fourth Pinnacle 4
This is one of the harder numbers to have as your Fourth Pinnacle as it signifies economic hardship in the later years. This may prevent you from retiring at all. Sometimes the hardship comes in the form of having to care for an ailing member of the family or a very large family. World events or other factors may also convince you that you must keep working "just in case" you are poor. The upside is that most senior pinnacle 4s enjoy working because it gives them a sense of accomplishment.
Fourth Pinnacle 5
If you are a Fourth Pinnacle 5 you can expect your retirement years to be lively and full of change. You may work for periods on and off or find yourself embarking on many long adventures, both for recreational and work purposes. Your finances may be up and down but the constant change will keep you busy and reveling in the company of many friends. You are also likely to have many different interests and hobbies as well as belong to many associations.
Fourth Pinnacle 6
People with a Fourth Pinnacle 6 are often blessed with a very comfortable retirement or even early retirement. The love and support of an extended family is likely to keep you happy and fulfilled until the end of your life. Your children and grandchildren will be most important to you (and so will be any family pets!) You are so nurturing and will have so much to give that it would not be surprising to see you out in the community participating in charities and being philanthropic.
Fourth Pinnacle 7
If you are a Fourth Pinnacle 7 you are likely to retreat from society, perhaps having decided that "hell is other people." You are voted most likely to hide in a remote mountain location or on a far off paradise Island. During this time you may feel finally like you have grown into your skin and like you can pick and choose your companions. Both poverty and extreme riches are possible with this number depending on how "grounded" you are in the real world. You may develop an interest in academics, philosophy or metaphysics that becomes a sweeping preoccupation.
Fourth Pinnacle 8
You will be rich enough to retire but the pressures of being identified as a pillar of the community may keep you in business or in the public eye well beyond the usual retirement years. You may also be so good at making money that you may feel it is your duty to continue orchestrating the systems that help keep civilization alive. It is likely you will have a lot of dependents and that a great deal of your money will also be donated to the public interest - especially charities and academic and artistic organizations.
Fourth Pinnacle 9
Money may not matter to you much in your later years and chances are that you will devote yourself tirelessly to some kind of cause. This could be working for charities or the church or practicing some kind of writing or metaphysical career. You will also very much be a teacher and mentor to those younger than you and your greatest rewards will come from stewarding people towards happiness and enlightenment.
Fourth Pinnacle 11
Your later years will be spent as both a seeker and a teacher of enlightenment and knowledge. You may be a practitioner of alternative medicine or the psychic arts. At any rate, others will perceive you as being very wise and seek out your counsel. Although money may not matter much to you, you will try to raise it as you see riches as being a manifestation of good energy. There is also likely to be some travel and difficulty settling down as you seek to place yourself in the world where your help is needed most.
Fourth Pinnacle 22
Being "the master builder "of the Fourth Pinnacle number you are likely to be in too powerful of a position to completely relax during your retirement. You are a role model for others. With your personal power and riches comes a responsibility to society and it is very possible that the livelihoods of many people may depend on what choices you make. You are very wise, judicial and kind and many will call you an exemplary human being. It is also very likely that you will be famous for making some kind of mark on society.
I hope you enjoyed these lessons on the Pinnacle Numbers. In the next lesson I will introduce you to the Special Traits and Life Lesson Numbers which are based on how often certain numbers and letter repeat in your full name!
Lesson 25
In this lesson I am going to examine the Special Traits and Lesson Numbers that occur in your full name. This is quite a different method of divining with numbers than you may be used to in this book so far as the interpretations are based on how often a number equivalence to a letter repeats in your name. The interpretations also factor in the absence of a number equivalence in your name.
To do this you will be using the same chart of numerological equivalencies that you used to calculate your Life Expression number, which is also based on your full birth name.
The number of times that a number repeats symbolizes special traits or talents that you may possess. For instance if your name contains a lot of threes (which usually symbolizes a life as a performer or entertainer) then you might be well off with a career in the public spotlight.
On the other hand if your name is lacking certain numbers then the deficiency symbolizes issues or karmic factors that will present themselves as lessons, obstacles or issues that you need to work on in your life. For instance, if your name lacks the number 8 (a number that symbolizes material wealth then it is very possible that economic hardship might be a repeated theme in your life.
Your first step is to refer to the chart that is used to calculate your Life Expression number to calculate the values of EACH letter of your name.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z
To simplify this process make yourself a small, simple chart that looks something like this. You will notice in the chart below that there is a listing of numbers that represent the average number of times these numbers occur in a name.
Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Average 3 1 2 1 4 2 1 1 3
Occurrence:
Occurrences _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
In My Name:
Your next step is to identify the numbers in your name and compare them to Average Occurrence numbers. This will help you determine if you have:
1) an average number
2) an above average number
3) a below average number.
The interpretations for all three categories will be provided in the next lesson. In the meantime let's take actor Tom Cruise as an example. He was born as Thomas Cruise Mapother
First I will make a full count of the letters in Tom Cruise's birth name using the Life Expressions number equivalence chart above
T H O M A S C R U I S E M A P O T H E R
2 8 6 4 1 1 3 9 3 9 1 5 4 1 7 6 2 8 5 9
I then apply the chart above to Tom Cruise's name.
Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Average 3 1 2 1 4 2 1 1 3
Occurrence:
Occurrence In 4 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 3
Tom's Name:
As you can see Tom has an average number of 3's, 6's, 7's and 9's. These are areas in his life where he would neither excel or fail (pretty much be just like everyone else!) He has an above average number of 1's, 2's, 4's and 8's. These numbers signify his special traits or talents. He is deficient (below average) in the number 5. He is fortunate, as he does not have any missing numbers in his name meaning that he may confront less obstacles or issues in his life than most people.
Remember that below average or missing numbers represent life lessons and karmic issues and that the average and above average numbers represent traits and talents.
Here is a brief summary of Cruise's Special Traits numbers.
The above average presence of the number 1 signifies an assertive, proactive individual in life, who usually gets his way,
The above average presence of the number 2 signifies a happy and harmonious individual who is faithful, adaptable and has an appreciation of the arts.
The above average presence of the number 4 demonstrates an ability to apply oneself and work towards long term goals.
The above average presence of the number 8 signifies wealth and prosperity.
Cruise's major issue or life lesson is symbolized by the deficiency of the number 5 in his name. The number 5 means a dislike of crowds and the public and perhaps considering oneself to be above the normal fray of humanity. He may find it hard to meet new people or to connect to others on a one on one level.
Here is a run down of his average traits - where he neither excels nor fails.
The average number of 3's in his name means that he may not push his talents or go out of his way to be the life of the party.
The average number of 6's in his name signifies a born teacher and caretaker.
The average number of 7's in his name signifies an intelligent individual who is analytical and not afraid to ask question.
The average number of 9's in his name reveals a genuine concern for mankind and a morally upright attitude.
In the next lesson I will be providing the interpretations for the average and above average percentages that make up the Special Traits numbers. The lesson after that one will provide you with the interpretations for the Lessons Numbers (low average or lack of numbers in a name.)
