Pinnacle numbers are another one of those calculations that
are based on your life path number. A pinnacle is an
experience occurring over a specific time in our life. 
Each person is thought to have four pinnacle periods and
depending on the numerology each of these periods of life
experience will have their own unique flavor or theme to
them.

The First Pinnacle covers the early maturation years from
roughly 0 years to 28-35, depending on your Life Path
Number.

The Second Pinnacle covers what is normally for most people
the child bearing or family raising years.

The Third Pinnacle covers middle age and growing maturity.

The Fourth Pinnacle covers the senior years.

The timing of pinnacles varies for each of the first nine
Life Path numbers. Here is a chart for determining the
timing of pinnacles keyed to your Life Path number:


The Pinnacles (age span for each of the 4 pinnacles)

Life       1st        2nd       3rd      Final 
Path #   Pinnacle Pinnacle Pinnacle Pinnacle

  1        0-35      36-44     45-53    54 & beyond

2/11      0-34      35-43     44-52    53 & beyond

  3        0-33      34-42     43-51    52 & beyond

4/22      0-32      33-41     42-50    51 & beyond

  5        0-31      32-40     41-49    50 & beyond

  6        0-30      31-39     40-48    49 & beyond

  7        0-29      30-38     39-47    48 & beyond

  8        0-28      29-37     38-46    47 & beyond

  9        0-27      28-36     37-45    46 & beyond


For this example we are using Martha Stewart who was born
August 3, 1941.

Our first step would be to calculate her Life Path number.
The Life Path number is calculated by reducing the birthday
to a single digit. In her case, the calculation would look
like this.

    8 + 3 + (1+9+4+1) = 8+3 + 6 = 17

    1+7 = 8

Martha Stewart's Life Path number is 8.  From looking at
the chart above we can see that her first life Pinnacle
period lasted from birth to age 28, the second life period
lasted from age 30 to 38, the third pinnacle period lasted
from 38 to 46 and the fourth lasts from age 47 and beyond.

The First Pinnacle is defined by adding the month and day
of birth. In her case 8 +3 = 11. 

Note that master numbers are not reduced in any of these
equations.

The Second Pinnacle is defined by adding the number that
was arrived at by reducing your year of birth plus the day
of birth. In Martha's case the equation is 3+6 = 9

The Third Pinnacle is arrived at by adding together the sum
of the first and second pinnacle numbers. In Martha's case
the equation is: 

    11 (First Pinnacle) + 9  (Second Pinnacle) = 20

    2+0 = 2.

Martha Stewart's Third Pinnacle Number is 2.

The Fourth Pinnacle number is arrived at by adding the
month and year of birth. In Martha's case the equation is: 
8 + (1+9+4+1) = 8 + 6 = 14.  This reduces to 1+4 =5.

Martha's Fourth Pinnacle year is 5.

From looking at this we can interpret Martha Stewart's four
life pinnacles in the following way.

Her First Life Pinnacle was dominated by the number 11.
This of course is a master number and Martha Stewart
probably spent her early years being the master of many
different disciplines. It can also mean extreme sensitivity
and being motivated by a desire to please parents.

Her Second Life Pinnacle is a number 9. This marked a
period in Stewart's life where she made dramatic sweeping
changes. It is a period that marked the beginning of her
great success as well as the end of her marriage. The
flavor of this era in her life would have been very
emotional. Any move she made for better or worse would have
been drastic.

Her Third Life Pinnacle number is 2, which is all about
partnerships. This is the period in Stewart's life when she
broke free with the help of her business partner and
orchestrated massive deals with broadcasters and K-Mart.


Her Fourth Life Pinnacle number is 5. This is the period
Stewart is in now. This means that her career is not likely
to show any signs of slowing down and that she will likely
be influential until very late her in life. It is also a
karmic number that can indicate freedom from financial or
domestic worries.
