Lets face it. Life is not a bed of roses. There are hurdles to get over and mountains to climb. In numerology, the roadblocks faced in life are called the challenges. The Challenge is a weak point in the Life Path. It is the weak link in the chain of life which must be overcome for us to grow and develop properly. We learn by meeting the challenge, and dealing with it effectively. The nature of the challenge is shown in the Life Path. Actually, there are three challenges included in the life path. Two that will be called sub-challenges and then a main challenge. Each challenge is represented by a number, and the number reflects the tone of the confrontation.
Michael was in his second sub-challenge when he passed away and, interestingly enough, this sub-challenge and his main challenge were both 3. The challenge of the number 3 suggests a tendency to scatter talents and try to do too many things at once. Michael had a fine imagination and a gift for words, but he found it hard, at times, to express himself effectively. Though he knew he should cultivate friends and be sociable, he tended to be somewhat reclusive and defensive. Michael had a talent for writing, acting, and speaking, yet he was reluctant to involve himself with these sorts of activities because he didn’t like to face the prospects of criticism. Michael tended to hide certain of his creative talents behind a wall of shyness. His challenge in life was to strive to develop himself in a social and in a creative sense; and it seems it was hard for him to just relax and have a good time.
Special Traits and Lessons. Now we'll look at Michael’s name with respect to the number of times that the same number repeats, or when certain numbers fail to be represented in his name. The repetition of numbers may show special talents that he possessed. With more than the expected number of ones in his name, Michael could be very headstrong and even overly assertive in his will to lead and should have avoided being too quick to demand his own way. Having an average number of twos, Michael had a normal and natural desire and ability to associate with others. He was tactful and diplomatic enough to get along fine in the world. Cooperation was no problem for him.
More than the average number of threes gave Michael more than his fair share of creative talent. He had the kind of imagination that made him special in music, painting, writing, design, or other artistic endeavors. Indeed, he may have tended to scatter himself a bit at times. He also had the "gift for gab" when he chose and expressed himself well. Having an average number of fours in his name, Michael had the ability to concentrate and apply himself to a task that allowed him to get along well in the world much of the time. The number 4 gives us common sense and the desire to build or develop things. The number 4 needs order and structure.
Michael had the average number of fives in his name, which allowed him to enjoy the human trait of having change and variety in his life. He got along well in day-to-day public contact with the world, and adjusted to meeting new people, travel, progress, and all of the changes that are part of living. Having the average number of sixes produced in Michael the instincts to protect and cultivate those close to him and even in the larger community. The traits inherent to 6 yield caretakers, teachers, caring parents, and responsible citizens. The number 6 stands for responsibility and nurturing. The average number of sevens gave Michael the abilities to analyze, investigate, and learn easily. He had a questioning mind which stimulated reading, study, observation and development of his mind. He had the ability to question and discriminate constructively.
Having many eights in his name, Michael had an intensity in his nature that drove toward power and control of others. He had a strong drive to accomplish, work, guide and command. Life held many tests and was frustrating for him at times, but the rewards he gained were high. He would have been wise to have paid more attention to the stress in his life. With the average number of nines in his name, Michael had the sense of compassion, goodwill, and tolerance for his fellow man that is necessary to live in our complicated world. The number 9 is associated with mankind and brotherhood. It produces our willingness to accept different races, colors, religions, and beliefs, and live comfortably in our environment. There is spiritual understanding and acceptance.
An additional cycle used in numerology is associated with the name rather than the birth date. This timing method uses the letters in the name in what might be called transits of the name, to arrive at this important cycle information that is called the Essences. From 2007 up until he passed away in 2009, Michael’s Essence was the number 4. During this number 4 Essence the events and opportunities coming his way emphasized a more serious tone. This was a time to buckle down and put the affairs of his life in order. His attention was apt to be drawn to more practical interests such as dealing with financial matters and his work.
The development of opportunities in his life required a practical and realistic view along with a lot of hard work, effort, determination and discipline. In many ways he felt a sense of restriction in his life for a while and he faced some setbacks as the pace of progress slowed somewhat. This was a building time and the building was sometimes painfully slow. Since the 4 essence was with him for several years, this period was apt to feel like a never ending struggle. Yet significant gains or accomplishments were the reward for his hard work and determination during this essence.
The Essences coming up, from 2010 to 2012, were the number 3. If he had lived, the Essence of the number 3 would have been a very special time when he felt and experienced the joy of living to its utmost. This would have been a very enjoyable time in his life. He would have been making a lot of new friends and renewing old friendships. It would also have been a time for love affairs and expanding his social circle; many activities and good times. He would have been likely to travel a good bit during this Essence.
The other factor that is associated with the Essence of 3 is that of expression. This would have been a very good time for him to be interested in the development of creative work, particularly works that involve words...singing, acting, writing. This would have been a busy time advancing his talents with classes or study, or for starting or expanding business ventures involving creative endeavors. Optimism would have been the operative word for this cycle and it would have been a very pleasant period, but he still would have guarded against a tendency to scatter his energies. This long period would have allowed a significant creative development in a positive and happy time of his life.
We are all inherently subject to major changes in our lives just as surely as we are subject to death and taxes. Numerology attempts to project major life changes and calls these monumental turns in the road pinnacles. If it weren't for these big transformations in life, the highly successful would become apathetic, and those struggling would soon feel totally hopeless. The pinnacles in our lives give us the necessary change of pace and direction that is stimulating and hopeful. Pinnacles show the direction that progress will lead us.
A pinnacle is an experience occurring over a specific time in our life. These pinnacle periods have been likened to the four seasons. The first pinnacle is in the spring of life. The second covering years of family raising and responsibility represents summer. The third covering middle-age and growing maturity of judgment represents the autumn of life, and the fourth, consolidating the experiences of life, is represented by winter.
Each pinnacle is represented by a number and the number reflects the tone of the period. The pinnacle number is written in the birth date.
Michael was in his fourth pinnacle, which was a number 4 and began when he was 49 years old. The general influence of the number 4 pinnacle is that of a practical, realistic approach to life. This pinnacle demands a higher degree of order, system and organization. Michael adopted a very conscientious and dependable response. Hard work and determined effort marked his attitude; plus, it seems as though he had an emotional need for work and truly thrived on it. Unfortunately, with his fourth pinnacle being a 4, any desire he may have had to retire or slow down wasn’t to be fulfilled. He was not the type to relax and enjoy leisure activities. It was important for him to work and feel the sense of accomplishment and there were also his economic conditions that retarded his ability to retire and enjoy life.
