D2 - Life Cycles – Three Main Periods In Our Life


Life Cycles


Life Cycles are three numerology numbers that describe our three major life periods. The First Life Cycle lasts around 30 years, the Second lasts 27 years, and the Third lasts until the end of life.




FIRST LIFE CYCLE NUMBER


1

This can be a difficult first cycle, because independence is usually not very compatible with youth. When you insist upon doing things your way, you may encounter great conflicts of will with those in charge. Alternatively, at a time of life when one is naturally dependent, circumstances may force you to stand on your own, to follow your own path and not depend on others. You may be given too much freedom for you to handle at this early age. Your task is to develop your own individuality so that you can stand on your own feet gracefully.

During the First Life Cycle, your Life Path number and your First Minor Challenge number are also especially important influences.

2

The first part of your life is a cycle of great sensitivity and abundant emotion. Quiet, and with a desire to please, during this period you thrive best in a peaceful environment where there is loving guidance. It’s possible that you are spoiled by a doting parent, and that you will try to preserve this close relationship by marrying early. This is a time when it is good to give your intense nervous and emotional energy an artistic outlet, and to cultivate obedience and adaptability.

During the First Life Cycle, your Life Path number and your First Minor Challenge number are also especially important influences.

3

During a youth bent on expressing yourself at any cost, you have a tendency to go to extremes. A fun-loving chatterbox, you can be quite a handful unless you have the chance to get out and be with people as much as possible. While formal schooling may make you restless, you will probably thrive when you channel your exuberant energy into the areas of art, drama, music or other forms of self-expression.

During the First Life Cycle, your Life Path number and your First Minor Challenge number are also especially important influences.

4

At an age that is naturally concerned with experiment and play, your youth is full of hard work, practical concerns and restrictions. Don’t worry. The stability, self-discipline and tolerance for routine that you develop in your First Cycle can be made to pay off later , giving you a secure foundation that allows you to enjoy yourself. You don’t readily express your emotional needs, but you still desire much affection and praise. It is good during this period to learn to work with your hands, and to wait to cultivate your emotional self at the appropriate time.

During the First Life Cycle, your Life Path number and your First Minor Challenge number are also especially important influences.

5

In youth you are the one who must learn everything for yourself. Quick to learn, but easily bored, you don’t fit into a structured lifestyle. You do everything “early,” and the chances are good that you aren’t among those who cling to the security of the home. If your early life is too unsupervised and unstructured, you run the danger of indulging an appetite for drugs, drink, sex, or other forms of excitement.

During the First Life Cycle, your Life Path number and your First Minor Challenge number are also especially important influences.

6

Your home life has a profound effect on your childhood, and during this cycle you are most comfortable in the protection of the home. Indeed, you may marry early to preserve this sheltered life. You tend to worry, and need much reassurance. A family fight can leave you miserable. While you are sheltered, you may also feel restricted with family duties and responsibilities.

During the First Life Cycle, your Life Path number and your First Minor Challenge number are also especially important influences.

7

When young, you need much time alone in peace and quiet while you build up deep inner resources. At times misunderstood or considered difficult, you have a natural reserve that keeps you from opening up to others. During this period you would do well to have a specialized education that understands your need to cultivate your inner life, and gives you the chance to read, think, dream and possibly express yourself in one of the arts. If, instead, your parents, teachers or peers did not understand you, try not to take it as a judgment on yourself. Be glad for the rich inner world that you have developed in your youth.

During the First Life Cycle, your Life Path number and your First Minor Challenge number are also especially important influences.

8

The 8 vibration is a great deal of power for youth to handle. You will be drawn to mastering the material aspects of life early, leading and directing others and possibly amassing a certain amount of power and money at an early age. Because you may not yet have had the chance to develop empathy, when pursuing your own goals you may tend to disregard the rights and feelings of others. Lacking life experience, you may need guidance in order to develop good judgment, especially about money.

During the First Life Cycle, your Life Path number and your First Minor Challenge number are also especially important influences.

9

This is a high vibration for a young person to bear. This is because 9 is not conducive to a sense of security, and because selflessness may expected of you at a time in your development when it is natural to be selfish. There may be change and instability for you to cope with, and the air may be charged with emotional tensions that you are too young to understand. Your own needs as a child may be neglected, so that you do not know what to do with your own intense feelings. Some form of artistic expression can be a great help in sorting these feelings out, and a good education can provide some structure and resources to deal with life. Toward the end of this cycle you will most likely have gained enough maturity to feel more comfortable with the intense energies of a 9.

During the First Life Cycle, your Life Path number and your First Minor Challenge number are also especially important influences.

11/2

Few, if any, children live a First Cycle on the 11 vibration. If they do, there is tremendous potential for creativity, but the high level of inspiration and illumination is likely to come with great nervous tension. To release their ideas and insights, such children do best in a permissive environment, with others dealing with the practicalities.

It is far more likely to live the First Cycle on the 2 level, which is characterized by great sensitivity and abundant emotion. Quiet, and with a desire to please, these children do best in a peaceful environment where there is loving guidance. It’s possible to be spoiled by a doting parent, and to try to preserve this close relationship by marrying early. This is a time when it is good to give your intense nervous and emotional energy an artistic outlet, and also to cultivate obedience and adaptability.

During the First Life Cycle, your Life Path number and your First Minor Challenge number are also especially important influences.

22/4

Few, if any, children live a First Cycle on the 22 vibration because this number deals with leadership and with building something for humanity on a large scale. During this cycle those who have done this may inspire you, but you will almost certainly live your own life on the 4 level. This means an early life that is full of hard work, practical concerns and restrictions. This enables you to learn stability, self-discipline and tolerance for routine, but it does not give you the child’s birthright of playing, experimenting, and expressing emotional needs. To complete yourself, you may have to make a conscious effort later in life to play and express your emotions. One good outlet during this First Life Cycle is to learn to work with your hands. In making tangible objects, you can to some extent fulfill your child’s need for experiment and play, and your creations may earn you the affection and praise that you crave.

During the First Life Cycle, your Life Path number and your First Minor Challenge number are also especially important influences.



SECOND LIFE CYCLE NUMBER


1

This is an especially good vibration for the middle cycle, because it allows you to become truly independent and to work on your self-development. This is an ideal period to launch your own business or a new career. There can be strain on partnerships, however, if your need for self-assertion during this time is not understood.

3

This middle period of your life is a time for love, friendship, beauty and creativity. It will be happiest revolving around social contacts and your own self-realization and expression through art, music or words. You are also able to sell anything during this time, and would do well to find work that brings you in contact with the public.

During this Life Cycle or the next, your Power number generally begins to manifest.

4

The middle of your life will be very productive if you allow the work ethic to reign. Be conscientious, disciplined and well organized, because this is your best time to build solid foundations for the future.

For the time being, it is best to put aside ideas of permanence.

During this Life Cycle or the next, your Power number generally begins to manifest.

6

More than most people, you need a middle life of settling down, building your nest and putting down roots. Your responsibilities to others are paramount during this time. Others will depend on you, so you must be strong and able to give advice and guidance. Your family life should now be in order if you are to accomplish your goals during this period. This is a perfect time for enjoying married life.

During this Life Cycle or the next, your Power number generally begins to manifest.

7

Analysis is the key to your middle cycle. During your middle years you probe deeply to understand all that is going on around and inside you. You are highly sensitive at this time, and it may be best to keep your feelings to yourself. Because you need much time alone to think things through, your partner, if you have one, will need to understand this.

During this Life Cycle or the next, your Power number generally begins to manifest.

8

During your middle period you will be drawn to accumulating wealth and power, so this is an excellent cycle for business success. More than at other times, you have the ability to influence your environment in an efficient and result-oriented way. Your success is assured if you devise a plan and manage your life and finances well.

During this Life Cycle or the next, your Power number generally begins to manifest.

9

Your middle period will be charged with strong emotional vibrations, and during it you may have many changes in your life. This is a time to learn to live with your emotions, and possibly to find an outlet in the arts. Personal relationships often do not fare well in this cycle. Instead, this is the time to be selfless, to cultivate your spiritual life and a broader love for, and service to, humanity. It is good to concentrate on finishing projects during this time, to prepare the way for new starts.

11/2

The 11 vibration can bring a rare and special period in your life. For you, mid-life brings the possibility of great accomplishment on the mental or spiritual plane. When you are living on this high vibration, it is best to avoid business and the purely practical parts of life, and instead seize this precious time for meditating, teaching, creating and becoming a specialist in something. If you learn to follow your own fine intuition, you can be a source of inspiration to others.

You may also, at least occasionally, drop back to the 2 vibration. This means that mid-life success comes through cooperation, perhaps through work that helps people get along with each other.

Not only can you master the practical problems of everyday life, you can also bring your highest visions into reality in the world at large. With these intense energies, you can expect some nervous tension. It is best to concentrate on universal, rather than personal, problems at this time.

You may also, at least occasionally, drop back to the 4 vibration. This means that the middle of your life will be very productive if you allow the work ethic to reign. Be conscientious, disciplined and well organized, because this is your best time to build solid foundations for the future. Though your life may sometimes seem tedious during this period, it will also be effective. Your joy will come through earthy pleasures and through establishing a solid base of operations at home and in your career.

THIRD LIFE CYCLE NUMBER


1

Your later years can be dynamic and fertile with accomplishment if you’re able to remain self-reliant. You’ll have to depend on yourself and choose your own path, but you’ll never be bored. Focus on new ideas or on giving new life to old ones. There should be action enough to keep you going to the very end.

2

Your later years will be peaceful, and will be happiest if they are full of social interaction. This can be a time of quiet accumulation in which you will become a collector of things, ideas, and even people. Concentrate on developing your relationships, for as you grow older they’ll become an increasingly important part of your life.

3

You can look forward to an enjoyable last cycle, filled with friendship, socializing, and a renewed pleasure in life. This is a wonderful time for developing artistic talents. Now you can creatively use your life experiences to help others develop the same “joie de vivre” that you are blessed with now.

4

Since a 4 cycle brings practical activity and ongoing discipline, you may look forward always to being busy and productive in your later years. At this time of your life, such a cycle works best if you have either found a job that means fulfillment rather than “work,”, or you have planned a financial freedom that allows you to work for fun.

5

No rocking chair for you! You are inclined to finish your days in a whirlwind of activity and variety. You’ll need lots of stimulation, so plan on traveling and making contact with as many different kinds of people as possible. The constant changes in your life should keep you young.

6

Your final life cycle will be concentrated around the home, so it’s best to prepare the way by building a solid life around family and friends. You’re promised lots of companionship and the security of the comfortable and familiar. It’s a mellow, comfortable way to spend your golden years.

7

Late in life, your activities tend to take a philosophical turn. You will become increasingly involved with quiet reflection and the search for knowledge. Others will seek your guidance, but you will find solitude necessary to develop the inner peace that will prove to be your great strength.

8

Never think of “retirement”! For you, later life is a great time for directing projects and achieving ambitious goals. This can be a time of success, and you will have the power to get things done. Your considerable energy will be best used in organizing others. With the promise of solid accomplishment and material gain, you’ll be active to the end.

9

In later years you can expect many changes in your life situation, and much will be discarded. It’s a high-powered last cycle, so learn to pace yourself. Helping others, and cultivating compassion and tolerance, are the best paths to achieving your own happiness. This is a good time to retire, study and learn. You can also further your creative expression by associating with sensitive and artistic friends.

11/2

Having the master number 11 for a final cycle means that though you may now live a life of retirement, reading and contemplation, you also have a chance for fame if you have been working for it. You may find yourself productively employed in fostering the dreams and visions of the young. When you live on this higher vibration, its intense energies can make for nervous strain, so be sure to take good care of yourself.

You may instead live on the less demanding 2 vibration during your final years. Your life will then be peaceful, and will be happiest if they are full of social interaction. This can be a time of quiet accumulation in which you will become a collector of things, ideas, and even people. Concentrate on developing your relationships, for as you grow older they’ll become an increasingly important part of your life.

22/4

A 22 vibration is a powerhouse to have as a last cycle, and it means that you must stay in the driver’s seat. Don’t accept any limitations on yourself, either self-imposed or from others. Think big, and put yourself into a position where you control a lot of the action. Though many people your age will want to sit back and reflect, you may be engaged in a steady effort to realize your highest potential.

You may instead opt to live out this cycle (at least sometimes) on a less demanding 4 vibration. Since a 4 cycle brings practical activity and ongoing discipline, you may look forward always to being busy and productive in your later years. At this time of your life, such a cycle works best if you have either found a job that means fulfillment rather than “work,”, or you have planned a financial freedom that allows you to work for fun.
