How Major Personal Numerology Cycles Affect Your Life

The major personal cycles found in your numerology chart can have a unique influence in your life. The effect can be subtle or perhaps dramatic, especially when a cycle number changes.

If subtle, the effects may be unnoticed. If dramatic, different but logically sensible reasons may be assumed.

Every cycle has a number associated with it. In numerology, a number represents a certain type of energy or resonance. Thus, each cycle number is associated with certain tendencies and likelihoods.

A cycle number change means the energy that influences the person changes. Whether or not noticed or correctly identified, the effect is there.

The impact of an energy change generally is noticed most at the beginning of the change. Later on, after the person has settled into the energy, so to speak, when the current energy has become familiar, then the memory of the change itself may fade.

For this article, major cycles are deemed to be cycles with periods lasting longer than one year. Three cycles are addressed:

1. The Life Period Cycles
2. The Pinnacle Cycles
3. The Challenge Cycles

Each of those cycles and their numbers are calculated from the date of birth. The links in the list provide both calculation details and talk extensively about what the cycles are. They can be used for personal advantage.

How Life Period Cycles Affect Your Life

The life period cycles affect the life path numerology chart position. And, as a consequence, your entire life experience.

The numerology life path is the most reliable chart position to predict the events and circumstances likely to manifest during a person's life.

There are three life period cycles. The first two life period cycles last 27 years or longer. The last cycle until end of life.

When a life period cycle affects the life path, it tends to shift the type of events and circumstances that are attracted to you as you live life.

Although the life period cycle affects the life path, it doesn't overwhelm. The energy represented by the life path number remains the stronger of the two.

The life path is a permanent part of the numerology profile. The life period cycle is transient. Because it's transient, the change it brings may make it seem as if it has the most force. But it's experiencing the change that makes it seem so, not the actuality.

When the life period cycle number is identical to the life path number, it tends to strengthen the attraction for certain types of events and circumstances.

When the numbers are different, but compatible, there's a shift of the attraction. It may be visualized as two magnets. The life period magnet, although of smaller strength than the life path magnet, nevertheless has an attractive force on its companion and shifts its vibrations.

When the numbers are incompatible, there can be a period of conflicting events and circumstances. Although of smaller force, the life period does have its attraction. Thus, events of one type can shift so the person starts experiencing events of a different type, then shift back again.

As examples, a life path number 5 and a life period number 4 would attract opposite events and circumstances. The number 5 would attract opportunities to express a personal sense of freedom. The number 4 would attract opportunities to take responsibility and focus on building a secure foundation for the future. Although the two can happen simultaneously, their tones don't resonate well together.

A number compatibility chart can be found at Compatibility of Number Energy.

How Pinnacle Cycles Affect Your Life

The pinnacle cycles, although calculated from the date of birth, affect the destiny numerology chart position.

The energy represented by your destiny number relates to who and what you are, the essence of the individual you recognize as yourself.

There are four pinnacle cycles. The first pinnacle cycle lasts 27-36 years. The next two, 9 years each. The last until the end of life.

Although the pinnacle cycle affects the destiny, it doesn't replace or overwhelm. Rather, it's an assistance, additional energy available to you as you live life during the cycle's period of existence.

The destiny energy may be likened to a faucet used to water a garden. The pinnacle energy is another faucet. Although they may have different types of water, one from a well and another from a barrel of rain water, for example, they both benefit the garden.

When the pinnacle cycle number is identical to the destiny number, the additional pinnacle energy strengthens the destiny energy.

When the numbers are different, but compatible, the destiny energy is also strengthened. The pinnacle energy addition makes related energy available to you.

When the numbers are incompatible, the destiny energy is neither strengthened nor weakened. Instead, the additional energy makes contrasting choices available to you, to assist you as you live life.

As examples, a destiny number 5 and a pinnacle number 4 would make nearly opposite energies available to you. Both of them. They don't fight with each other, just remain available. The number 5 represents energy available to assist expression of a personal sense of freedom when that's what you want. The number 4 represents energy available to assist in a strong focus on building a secure foundation for the future when that's what you want.

The energy represented by the pinnacle number is always available to assist. It never reduces the energy represented by the destiny number. Instead, the pinnacle energy exists alongside the destiny energy.

How Challenge Cycles Affect Your Life

The challenge cycles affect both your destiny and your life path, your entire numerology chart.

There are four challenge numbers. All are active the entire life. But the energy level of three of them are cyclic with the same cycle periods as the life period cycles.

Challenges generally aren't considered weaknesses. Instead, they are an indication of some of the challenges a person is likely to experience. Those may be things that tend to be harder to accomplish or seem elusive.

Challenges affect your entire numerology chart because their energies are always present as something to consider when making decisions and living life in general. Although they can largely be ignored, the energies and their effects don't go away. They go away only if the challenges are met.

Imagine someone with little artistic ability nevertheless finding themself in a job or career related to artistic expression. (As often happens in life; the person finds themselves in situations where the challenge energies put themselves forward to be dealt with.) Every day, the person is conscious of their need to become more artistic. Every day, they study and learn and get better. If they get good enough to consistently do their job with a high degree of professionalism, the challenge may dissipate.

Major Cycle Effects

Numerology cycles influence a person and their life. The life period and pinnacle cycles, respectively, affect the energies represented by the life path and destiny numbers of a numerology chart. And the challenge cycles affect the entire chart.
