The study of numbers by means of occult is what we generally term as Numerology. A number of aptitudes, characteristics, behavior, desires, personality and the likes are expressed through Numerology. Each letter of the name of an individual bears a cosmic value or vibration. But numerology should always be used at the time of making major moves and decisions in 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. Pinnacle Number basically predicts what lies ahead of you in the calendar year ahead. The study of numerology was introduced by the Greek philosopher Pythagoras.

A Pinnacle is simply a term assigned by numerologists whereby they actually refer to major changes that take place in our lives. Events such as marriage and birth of children are sort of pinnacle experiences. These are events which actually show the direction in which we progress, and make life more stimulating and worth living.

A pinnacle is an experience occurring over a specific time in our life. These Pinnacles are often compared to the 4 seasons. The first one is the spring of life, which is youth. The second refers to a period of family responsibilities and is like summer. The third pinnacle covers middle age and maturity, which is akin to autumn. Lastly, the fourth pinnacle represents winter, which is an assimilation of life's experiences so far. Subsequently, each pinnacle is indicated by a number which is called the Pinnacle Number.

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 beforehand for the times ahead of you by knowing your approaching Pinnacle number.

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. We will use the month, the day and the year of birth in this calculation. To calculate the Pinnacle Number, you need to take into account the day of birth, along with the month and the year. First of all, you have to reduce each of these components into single digits, which will be the master numbers.
