Life Path and the Age of the Earth

The life path number is calculated by using the birth month, the birth day, and the birth year in the calculations. It's the birth year number, not the number representing the age of the earth, that's used in the calculations. The birth year number is obtained from the primary calendar in use by the society within which the birth occurred — which generally is the Gregorian calendar.

Adding together only the birth month and birth day is the calculation for the first pinnacle cycle number, not the life path number. The life path number is found by adding together the birth month, day, and year, and then reducing the result. The first pinnacle number and the life path number are the same only if the birth year can be reduced to the number 9 (like 1971, 1980, 1989, and 1998.)

Your first pinnacle cycle number is the number 6. (Your second pinnacle begins in about four years.) Your life path number is also the number 6. As is your heart's desire number and three of your four challenge numbers. Click here to read more about the number 6. It's recommended.
