The Pinnacles

The Pinnacles are four long-term cycles, or periods, on our Life
Path. Each Pinnacle represents a particular lesson we are working on.
The first Pinnacle usually lasts from birth to between the ages of 30
and 35 (your specific Pinnacle periods are provided below). The
middle two Pinnacles each last nine years. The last Pinnacle will stay
with you for the remainder of your life.
The Pinnacles are very important. The transition from one Pinnacle
to the next is always strongly felt. Your Pinnacles reveal the general
conditions and events you will experience during the period. The
Pinnacle describes the atmosphere, or the essential challenge you will
be faced with.
You can prepare yourself for the times ahead by knowing your
approaching Pinnacle number.
The transition from one Pinnacle to the next is usually prepared for
approximately 2 years in advance. The latter part of that two year
period is particularly strong. Pats, you will likely make some
life-altering decisions — marriage, job or career change, or any
number of major changes in your character.
Perhaps the most strongly felt change — internally as well as
externally — is the transition from the first to the second Pinnacle.
This change usually takes place in your late 20s or early 30s — the
exact date depends on your Life Path number and is provided below.
You begin to feel the impact of this coming change approximately two
years prior. This is usually a difficult transition, but once crossed
usually provides a clear sense of direction in one’s life. It also gives
you a much firmer sense of your identity. It is a gateway to maturity.
