Early Life Cycle Numbers

As you may recall from the previous newsletter, the numerological

calculations of the Early Life Numbers describe what
influences the first 28 years of any one person's life.

To refresh your memory, this calculation is figured by taking

your DAY and MONTH of birth and reducing them down to a
single digit. You then take the numbers of the YEAR that you
turned or will turn 28 and reduce that to a single digit. You
then add both of these single digit sums and reduce it to a
single digit. However the exception is if this sum adds up to
result in any one of the two master numbers 11 or 22. In this
case you do not reduce the Early Life Cycle Number but rather
read their interpretations.

Here are the interpretations for all the Early Life Cycle
Numbers which cover the influences from age 0 to age 28.

Early Life Cycle Number 1

You were a strong-willed, talented and independent child. You

may have left home at an early age. Your career often gets
off to a great start, as you are so ambitious. Your self-
confidence and individuality brings you prodigious successes
in life. Although the influence is generally positive, you
may have had difficulty with your parents or authority
figures that may have never been able to manage your innate
stubbornness.

Early Life Cycle Number 2

You were probably a very sensitive and difficult child. Your

early years may have been traumatic, even abusive and many of
your emotions may be suppressed as a result. You have a great
deal of drive and ambition but usually this comes from a
sense of insecurity that you need to prove you are better
than others are. Handling your emotions and keeping
relationships and situations in perspective might be
difficult for you during the first three decades of your life.

Early Life Cycle Number 3

You were an intelligent, inquisitive child with a

photographic memory and the ability to absorb information
quickly. This number denotes you as possessing a creative
talent that in some way may have been recognized or exploited
by older people. You make friends (including the kind that
can help you with your career) easily. Your first three
decades may have been spent as a performer or artist and
often this number brings some measure of fame (or infamy)
with it.
Early Life Cycle Number 4

You were intelligent, patient and humanistic as a child but

your expression may have been stifled by a childhood filled
with discipline and restrictions. It can also indicate early
years that were filled with poverty or abuse. Usually a
person with this number has to fight great odds to succeed
and often they do. The upside of this is that you have a
stamina, empathy and self-sufficiency during this period that
are normally not characteristic of others of comparable
experience or age.

Early Life Cycle Number 5

Divorce, separation or an emotionally ill parent may have

marked your childhood. You are sensitive, intelligent and
have a wonderful imagination. However these virtues might
fuel a tendency towards escapism and addictive behavior. You
may also be plagued by insecurity and indecision, which makes
it difficult for you to settle on one goal or vocation. Often
5s are late bloomers or switch careers every few years
because they are so restless. It is a 5 who is most likely to
interrupt education with travel.

Early Life Cycle Number 6

You were a bit of an old soul, even as a child. This number

is about self-sacrifice for the greater good of the whole.
You may have had to care for siblings or support a family
thanks to an irresponsible or absent parent. You often stick
close to your family well into your twenties and may fear
reprisal if you leave the nest. Sixes are often late bloomers
in life, as the first three decades of their lives are filled
with a lack of opportunity to put themselves first.

Early Life Cycle Number 7

You will probably be identified as a genius early on in life

and depending on your circumstances either be reviled for it
or encouraged to be a prodigy. You may not have many friends,
which is fine as you live in the world of books and
knowledge. Chances are that you spend your first thirty years
feeling left out of things and misunderstood. Rather than
fight to gain approval, you may have opted to be alone. You
find kindred spirits in academically minded friends and
employers.

Early Life Cycle Number 8

You may have been born into wealthy circumstances or into a

status conscious household where the prime focus was money.
Children and young adults with this number often mistake sex
for affection. They also appear shallow or materialistic. You
may spend your first three decades feeling as if something is
missing. You have the potential to make a great deal of money
before you are thirty but this may create more strife than
happiness in your life.

Early Path Number 9

This signifies a very difficult and emotionally stressful

childhood. You may spend your first thirty years focusing on
others rather than yourself in order to please an abusive or
mentally ill parent. Behavioral issues and addictions may
also plague a Life Cycle Number 9 who often gets off to a
slow start with regards to academic or career. More than any
other number, nines have the cruelest circumstances to
overcome yet somehow their hardship also leads to more
spiritual sophistication.

Early Path Number 11

This master number generally produces a child that may be a

bit of a genius, but also to some extent crippled by a "gift"
of some kind. Number 11 youngsters often feel very out of
place as they often possess enhanced intuition or great
intelligence however their parents usually cannot afford to
cultivate these gifts. Many 11s often suffer from emotional
imbalances and nervous problems until after age 28 when they
learn to handle their talents.

Please note that there is no Early Path Number 22 as there is

no month in the year that adds up to 22. However the master
number 22 is read for Middle and Later Life Cycles.
