Second Challenge = 6
First Challenge Age: 30
Second Challenge Age: 30+9=30
Second Challenge Age Range: 30-39
SIX (6): When 6 is your Challenge, you're learning accountability for others and possibly experiencing burden from family obligations. Learn to attend to others and strike a balance between honoring your commitments to family and to yourself - a balance, meaning that you can't avoid either and must attend to both. Learn to avoid codependency and discover when loyalty, obedience, and the desire to be in charge of the household have stepped overboard. There is a tendency for this Challenge to be too stubborn and set in your opinions, so learn to transfer the energy from the negative to the positive qualities of the 6 - warmth, beauty, and nurturing.
Erm. So .... what exactly did that mean? Blinking slightly, Evangeline rose her hand. "Er .. Professor? Is this alright?" Professor Shackleton glanced at the young woman's parchment and replied, "Yes, everything seems to be correctly calculated. Now, try to think how that explanation might apply to your early adult years." Quote:

Meanwhile she finished her work completely with the Second Challenge age: Professor Shackleton shook her head and explained, "Your answer was correct; however, I reward points not just for correct answers, but for quick responses. Those who can answer my questions quickly and correctly get rewarded." Quote:

My second challenge number is three... when apparently means that I am supposed to start 'recognizing my emotions' and begin 'speaking from the heart'." She fell silent. Surely this interpertation was wrong... she already knew how to do that, of course. Surely. "Is this right?" Professor Shackleton glanced over another parchment and spotted a small error, "Dear, I believe you must have calculated your Challenge areas incorrectly. The First Challenge Age is calculated by using the formula, 36 minus the Life Path number. The Second Challenge Age is the First Age plus 9. Please recalculate those values." Quote:

First Pinnacle: (36-5=31) Birth to 31
12/22/2050
12 - 22
(1+2) - (2+2)
3 - 4 = -1 (negatives are ignored) = 1
First Challenge = 1
ONE (1): When 1 is your Challenge, you're learning to stand up for yourself, be true to your own ideas and beliefs, be self-reliant, and find the courage to lead. You'll face test after test to determine if you've ultimately learned to stand firm and not compromise yourself. When the 1 is the First Challenge, you're learning to recognize that you have a self; while in the other Challenge positions, it means you're learning to remain true to this self and have self-confidence.
First Challenge Age = 31 - Life Path Number
First Challenge Age = 31 - 9
First Challenge Age = 22
Age Range = 0-22y
Second challenge.
Second Challenge Number = year of birth - day of birth
12/22/2050
2050 - 22
(1+2+5+0) - (2+2)
7 - 4 = 3
Second Challenge = 3
THREE (3): When 3 is your Challenge, you're learning to recognize your emotions and speak from the heart. Learn that your words have a significant influence on your life as you may be critical with your words. The negatives of the 3 must be overcome, so work to abandon superficiality, aggrandizement, gossip, conceitedness, and speaking just to hear yourself talk. Under the 3 Challenge, work to use your creative energy to form a loving, positive, and joyful spirit and realize pure, unadulterated happiness.
Second Pinnacle: (31+9=40) 31 to 40
Second Challenge Age = 22 - 9
Second Challenge Age = 13
Age Range = 13 - 22y "Ah, my dear, I see a couple small mistakes. While you have calculated your Challenges correctly, your Challenge ages are a bit off. The First Challenge Age is calculated by the formula: 36 minus your Life Path number. The Second Challenge Age is calculated by the formula: First Challenge Age + 9. Please fix those errors."
Professor Shackleton stood in the back of the classroom and asked, "How do we calculate the Third Challenge?"
