🌟 Life Phase Numbers: Your Life’s Three Seasons
Imagine your life is like a beautiful road trip with three amazing stops along the way. Each stop has its own special scenery, lessons, and adventures. In numerology, we call these stops Period Cycles—and they’re calculated from your birthday!
🚗 What Are Period Cycles?
Think of your life like a book with three big chapters:
| Chapter | Called | When It Happens |
|---|---|---|
| 📖 Chapter 1 | First Life Period | Birth → Young Adult |
| 📖 Chapter 2 | Second Life Period | Adult Years |
| 📖 Chapter 3 | Third Life Period | Wisdom Years |
Each chapter has a special number that tells you what themes and energies will be strongest during that time!
🎂 How Do We Find These Numbers?
Here’s the magical part—your Period Cycle numbers come directly from your birthday!
The Simple Formula:
First Period → Month you were born (reduced)
Second Period → Day you were born (reduced)
Third Period → Year you were born (reduced)
What does “reduced” mean? We keep adding digits together until we get a single number (1-9) or a Master Number (11, 22, 33).
📖 Period Cycle Overview
The Three Chapters of Your Life Story

| Third | 1990 → 1+9+9+0 = 19 → 1+9 = 10 → 1+0 = 1 | 1 | Leadership & Independence |
