===> Calculating your Life Cycle Challenges

The timing of your Life Cycles is determined by your Life Path. Your first Life Cycle runs from birth to your first Turning Point; which is calculated by subtracting your Life Path from 36 (four times nine). Your Second Life Cycle starts at that point and ends 27 years later (3 times 9). Your third and final Life Cycle begins at the end of your second life cycle and runs for the rest of your life.

Each Life Cycle Challenge number is calculated based on your date of Birth. Each element of your date of birth is first reduced to a single digit by fadic addition. Then these sums are used to find your challenge values.

Your first cycle challenge is determined by calculating the difference between your fadic birth month, and birth day. Your second cycle challenge is found by taking the difference between your fadic birth day and your birth year. Your third and final cycle challenge is found by taking the difference between your first and second challenge values.

For example, actor Johnny Depp was born on June 9th, 1963; so his Life cycle challenges are calculated as follows:

Life Path = (06 + 09 + 1963) = (1978) = (1 + 9 + 7 + 8) = (25) = (2 + 5) = (7)

Fadic Birthday Elements:
(Month) = (6), (Day) = (9), (Year) = (1963) = (1 + 9 + 6 + 3) = (19) = (1 + 9) = (10) = (1)

Life Cycle Challenges:
(First Life cycle ends) = (36 - 7) = age 29
(Second Life Cycle ends) = (29 + 27) = age 56
(First Challenge - birth to 29) = (Day - Month) = (9 - 6) = (3)
(Second Challenge - 29 to 56) = (Day - Year) = (9 - 1) = (8)
(Third challenge - 56 and up) = (First - Second) = (3 - 8) = (-5) = (5)
