The Birthday Number
About the Birth Day number
The day you were born bears great significance in understanding who you are and
where your talents lie. The day of birth indicates some special talent you possess. It is a
gift to you that will help you along your Life's Path. Your day of birth is one of your four
core numbers -- the Life Path, Expression, Heart's Desire, and Personality being the
other four. It is the least significant of the five core numbers, but perhaps the most
finite, in that it reveals a specific ability you possess in a marked degree.
Your Birth Day number is the number of the day you were born, and is examined as
both a single- and a double-digit number. The reason for this twofold way of looking at
the number is that a double-digit Birth Day number suggests that you possess
additional characteristics not directly revealed by the single-digit number. For example,
a person born on day 15 can be said to have a 6 Birth Day number (1 + 5), but the
double digits, the 1 and the 5, suggest other abilities and character traits not revealed
by the 6 alone. The 15 brings very different underlying talents to the 6 than does the 24,
which is derived from the 2 and the 4, also a 6, but is quite different in nature. This is
particularly important when understanding the Birth Day number, and for that reason
all thirty-one Birth Days are described separately.

The Period Cycles
Like most stories, there are three great divisions in our lives. The First, or opening period, finds us groping
to find our true nature. At the same time, we are trying to cope with the powerful forces that are present in
our environment, our parents, and the socioeconomic conditions of our family, for example.
The second Cycle, or middle period of our lives, brings about the gradual emergence of our individual and
creative talents. The initial part of this cycle, the early and mid-thirties, forties, and early fifties, see us with
a greater degree of self-mastery and influence over the environment.
The Third and final Cycle represents a flowering of our inner being. Our true nature has come to fruition. It
is during this period that one has the greatest degree of self-expression and personal power.
Your Period Cycles are based on the date of your birth. Each Period Cycle lasts approximately
twenty-seven years, or three complete epicycles of nine years each. The exact age you make the transition
from one Period Cycle to the next is determined by your Life Path, just like your Life Path is determined by
your Period Cycle numbers.
See the chart below to determine the age you will make the transitions.

For example, with a 5 Life Path one's first Personal Year cycle at age 0, is also 5. (Your first Personal Year
cycle is always the same as your Life Path number.)
In this example, the first 1 Personal Year Cycle comes exactly five years following the year of birth: the year
this person turns 5.
Add to that three complete nine-year cycles (27 years), and the transition into this individual's Second Period
Cycle will be at age (5 + 27) 31-32.
(Starting the year at age 31 and turning 32 during the course of that year.)
Perhaps the Lord, in his infinite wisdom, felt that we needed at least three full nine-year cycles before
entering the second stage of our lives.
NOTE: The years you make your transition from one Period Cycle to the next, are always extremely
important and quite often represent significant milestones in your life.
Your First Period Cycle is your month of birth. In the example of October 12, 1936, the 10 for October is
reduced to 1.
Your Second Period Cycle is your day of birth reduced to a single-digit or until a Master number is
encountered (remember: we don't reduce Master numbers). In our example the 12th day computes to a 3
Second Period Cycle.
Your Third Period Cycle is your year of birth reduced to a single-digit or until a Master number is
encountered. In our example, 1936 reduces to 1.

Challenges
Each of us is born with both strengths and weaknesses. Numerology looks at life as if it were an educational
process that is meant to bring out and enhance our talents, and turn our weaknesses into strengths. This
serves to complete our being.
The job of becoming whole is one in which you must face your weaknesses, and consciously work to improve
yourself.
The Challenges on your life path provide specific lessons that you must attend to, and, in order to inspire and
help you, life will place you in situations that require the specific characteristics of your Challenge numbers.
The four Challenges you are required to overcome during the course of this lifetime will influence you during
different periods of your life, except for the Third or Main Challenge, which lasts from birth until death.
The Challenges are fluid periods of your life, not confined to specific years so much as general periods. All of
your Challenges are present at birth, like actors standing in the wings.
Your First Challenge moves to the foreground in the early part of your life, and often endures to early mid-life,
by which time you will have overcome this obstacle.
Before you conclude your First Challenge, the Second Challenge will be influencing you. Your Second
Challenge will be felt most intensely in the middle part of your life.
The Third or Main Challenge is unique. It will be felt during your entire life, and is more strongly felt than the
other Challenges.
The Fourth and last Challenge begins in late mid-life, and endures throughout the rest of your life.
