Eva started to do the math:

Second Pinnacle = Day of birth + year of birth
Year = 2051
Day = 23

(2+3)+(2+0+5+1)=5+8=13
1+3=4

FOUR (4): The 4 Pinnacle is an especially important time for constructing your life with solid, stable, long-lasting foundations. During this Pinnacle, you will be learning about persistence, hard work, patience, planning, organizing, and moving ahead with a methodical plan. As you learn these traits, you will need to apply them practically, putting your ideas into shape and creating a stable place for yourself in the material world. This is not a time of leisure, but is a demanding period requiring discipline, recognition of limits, and a serious attitude.

Eva made a copy from the textbook before starting to calculate the third pinnacle:

Third Pinnacle = First Pinnacle + Second Pinnacle
First Pinnacle=3
Second Pinnacle=4

3+4=7

SEVEN (7): This is a time of study, research, introspection or soul development, with favoring of education, study, and specialization. With a 7 Pinnacle, it's a time to be a bit of a recluse and loner, focusing on your individual views. Country living is an excellent way to learn to be alone, to learn about yourself, and do research for areas of specialization. With this Pinnacle comes great wisdom, which others will seek to have the unexplainable explained. As a 2nd or 3rd Pinnacle, the 7 provides an opportunity to cultivate your specialized skills; while as the last Pinnacle, it offers spiritual refinement and development during a time of inner analysis and developing of knowledge, which can be eventually shared with others.

Eva closed the book and starte to make the math for the fourth Pinnacle:

Fourth Pinnacle = Month of birth + Year of birth
Month: 7 (July)
Year: 2051

7+(2+0+5+1)=7+8=15
1+5=6

SIX (6): A six in any Pinnacle position dictates years of responsibility, love, duty, and family. Learn to think of the needs of others, doing all the giving and being responsible for everyone else, and you may find yourself learning to love and care for not only others but yourself. Under a first 6 Pinnacle, young people will tend to marry too early and feel a colossal responsibility to the family. Regardless of which Pinnacle the 6 resides in, it is a time of home, children, and beautifying your surroundings, particularly through community and humanitarian service. This is a time for honoring what's in your heart - because it is there that you must be truly responsible.

Once Professor told them to calculate their other Pinnacles, Sabrina looked down in her journal once more. Grabbing her quill, the girl got to work.

First Pinnacle: 3

THREE (3): During this time of your life, you will explore methods of personal expression, dealing with emotions, the imagination, and the creative spirit. Early in life, this Pinnacle revolves around seeking an imaginative and productive career. The middle Pinnacles serve to deal with your feelings and learn to speak what is in your heart. Later in life, this Pinnacle revolves around friends, the gratification of life, joy, and inventive expression. Overall, the energy of the number 3 Pinnacle is calling you to find joy and happiness, inviting you to live with a positive, optimistic outlook on life.

Birthday = 08/13/2052

Second Pinnacle = Day of Birth + Year of Birth
Day = 13 = 1+3 = 4
Year = 2052 = 2 + 5 + 2= 9
Second Pinnacle = 4 + 9 = 13
1 + 3 = 4

Therefore Second Pinnacle = 4

FOUR (4): The 4 Pinnacle is an especially important time for constructing your life with solid, stable, long-lasting foundations. During this Pinnacle, you will be learning about persistence, hard work, patience, planning, organizing, and moving ahead with a methodical plan. As you learn these traits, you will need to apply them practically, putting your ideas into shape and creating a stable place for yourself in the material world. This is not a time of leisure, but is a demanding period requiring discipline, recognition of limits, and a serious attitude.

Third Pinnacle: First Pinnacle + Second Pinnacle
First Pinnacle = 3
Second Pinnacle = 4
Third Pinnacle = 3 + 4 = 7

SEVEN (7): This is a time of study, research, introspection or soul development, with favoring of education, study, and specialization. With a 7 Pinnacle, it's a time to be a bit of a recluse and loner, focusing on your individual views. Country living is an excellent way to learn to be alone, to learn about yourself, and do research for areas of specialization. With this Pinnacle comes great wisdom, which others will seek to have the unexplainable explained. As a 2nd or 3rd Pinnacle, the 7 provides an opportunity to cultivate your specialized skills; while as the last Pinnacle, it offers spiritual refinement and development during a time of inner analysis and developing of knowledge, which can be eventually shared with others.

Fourth Pinnacle = Month of Birth + Year of Birth
8 + (2 +0 +5 +2) = 17
1 + 7 = 8

Fourth Pinnacle = 8

EIGHT (8): An eight in a Pinnacle position dictates a time for learning to handle the business world and any type of authority, and from that to discover your own sense of personal power. You will learn about money, power, authority, as well as the essentials of organization, leadership, responsibility, efficiency and management (particularly of financial matters). During an 8 Pinnacle, your judgment will be repeatedly tested during your opportunities to manage business and further your career. Recognition for your achievements are significant under this number. Home life may be of less importance under this Pinnacle, but that may be necessary to learn the important lesson - become your own authority and trust your true power.

Juniper opened to a fresh page in her journal and wrote

First Pinnacle
Month of birth (September; 9) + day of birth (28)

9 + (2+8) = 9 + (1+0) =
9 + 1 = 10
1 + 0 = 1

Explanation:
ONE (1): During this time of your life, your primary goal will be to achieve autonomy, self-reliance, and individuality, so all circumstances and people who cross your path in a significant way are teachers who will help you move toward being independent. If the 1 is the Third or Fourth Pinnacle, you're being groomed for leadership - your greatest attainment will be to lead and understand all that it means to be thought of as a leader: vision, integrity, drive, courage, and determination.
Second Pinnacle
Day of birth (28) + year of birth (2052)
(2+8) + (2+0+5+2) = (1+0) + 9 =
1 + 9 = 1+0 = 1

Explanation: see first pinnacle

Third Pinnacle
First Pinnacle (1) + Second Pinnacle (1)
1 + 1 = 2

Explanation:
TWO (2): Your greatest attainment will be to learn how to have harmonious relationships without sacrificing yourself. The number 2 Pinnacle represents unions, partnerships, patience, and fairness, with a focus on working as a team. During this time of your life, you may be learning to cooperate, share, and be considerate of others. The 2 Pinnacle may be a time where you will find achievement in fields of work where precision and detail are valued because you have a natural gift for relating facts, gathering and perfecting details, and knowing what's correct and right.
Fourth Pinnacle
Month of birth (September; 9) + year of birth (2052)

9 + (2+0+5+2) =
9 + 9 = 1+8 = 9

Explanation:
NINE (9): This Pinnacle is known for emotional crises and you'll be expected to show a significant amount of compassion, tolerance, and love, while inspiring and uplifting others with your wisdom and caring nature. The 9 Pinnacle is a time for maturation and working through your emotions. This is not an easy Pinnacle because it is difficult to be loving and tolerant all the time; however, these things will have to be learned of this Pinnacle becomes one of great disappointment. Develop your global consciousness, intuition, and love for humanity during this time. As a First Pinnacle, this may be a time of early losses that bring early maturity. In the middle Pinnacles, this is a time of giving back to the world. As the last Pinnacle, it's a time of completion and material and spiritual wealth. During any position, you will be required to forget the self and develop into a true humanist.

Already with head bent down, Melly nodded absent-mindedly at the professor. Now that her quill was flowing on the parchment and her head was full of calculations, there was no space for depressing thoughts or anything of the sort. Besides, doing math again made her feel as if she was back in her muggle school and Merlin, she was loving it.

First pinnacle: 3

THREE (3): During this time of your life, you will explore methods of personal expression, dealing with emotions, the imagination, and the creative spirit. Early in life, this Pinnacle revolves around seeking an imaginative and productive career. The middle Pinnacles serve to deal with your feelings and learn to speak what is in your heart.

Overall, the energy of the number 3 Pinnacle is calling you to find joy and happiness, inviting you to live with a positive, optimistic outlook on life.

She wrinkled her nose at what she read. She had been dealing with far too many emotions indeed. Well, it was time to see if the others were right too...

Second pinnacle: day of birth + year of birth

(8)+(2+0+5+4)= 19
1+9= 10
1+0=1

ONE (1): During this time of your life, your primary goal will be to achieve autonomy, self-reliance, and individuality, so all circumstances and people who cross your path in a significant way are teachers who will help you move toward being independent. If the 1 is the Third or Fourth Pinnacle, you're being groomed for leadership - your greatest attainment will be to lead and understand all that it means to be thought of as a leader: vision, integrity, drive, courage, and determination.

Oooh, leadership! That sounded very, very, very good! Now that would be a very interesting time of her life indeed! Grinning to herself, Melina kept writing down her pinnacles.

Third pinnacle = First pinnacle + Second pinnacle

3+1=4

FOUR (4): The 4 Pinnacle is an especially important time for constructing your life with solid, stable, long-lasting foundations. During this Pinnacle, you will be learning about persistence, hard work, patience, planning, organizing, and moving ahead with a methodical plan. As you learn these traits, you will need to apply them practically, putting your ideas into shape and creating a stable place for yourself in the material world. This is not a time of leisure, but is a demanding period requiring discipline, recognition of limits, and a serious attitude.

Now she was raising an eyebrow at those words. When was she not serious? Hmph.

Fourth pinnacle: month of birth + year of birth

(4)+(2+0+5+4)=15
1+5=6

SIX (6): A six in any Pinnacle position dictates years of responsibility, love, duty, and family. Learn to think of the needs of others, doing all the giving and being responsible for everyone else, and you may find yourself learning to love and care for not only others but yourself. Under a first 6 Pinnacle, young people will tend to marry too early and feel a colossal responsibility to the family. Regardless of which Pinnacle the 6 resides in, it is a time of home, children, and beautifying your surroundings, particularly through community and humanitarian service. This is a time for honoring what's in your heart - because it is there that you must be truly responsible.

Phew. Melina had just one thing to say about this one: thank goodness she did not get it as her first! Marrying too early... Eww. Gross. She shuddered.

Amelia looked up from her journal as Professor Shackleton told them to go ahead and start on the next three and final pinnacles. She then picked her quill up again to resume her writing and calculating:

Second Pinnacle
Formula: day of birth + year of birth

Calculations:
Birthday: August 1, 2048

(1) + (2+0+4+8) = (1) + (5) = 6

Setting her quill down on the desk, Amelia then read over her work and waited to for the next tasks to be assigned.

Jai looked at the board and saw that she had to do both the third and fourth pinnacles also, looking around her she gihed and dipped her quill into the ink jar.

Third Pinnacle
Formula: First Pinnacle + Second Pinnacle
First Pinnacle: 3
Second Pinnacle: 8

3+8= 12
1+2=3

During this time of your life, you will explore methods of personal expression, dealing with emotions, the imagination, and the creative spirit. Early in life, this Pinnacle revolves around seeking an imaginative and productive career. The middle Pinnacles serve to deal with your feelings and learn to speak what is in your heart. Later in life, this Pinnacle revolves around friends, the gratification of life, joy, and inventive expression. Overall, the energy of the number 3 Pinnacle is calling you to find joy and happiness, inviting you to live with a positive, optimistic outlook on life.


Fourth Pinnacle
Formula: Month of birth + Year of birth
Month of birth: 10 (October)
Year of birth: 2049

10+2049= (1+0) + (2+0+4+9)
1+ 15= 1+ (1+5)
1+6= 7

This is a time of study, research, introspection or soul development, with favoring of education, study, and specialization. With a 7 Pinnacle, it's a time to be a bit of a recluse and loner, focusing on your individual views. Country living is an excellent way to learn to be alone, to learn about yourself, and do research for areas of specialization. With this Pinnacle comes great wisdom, which others will seek to have the unexplainable explained. As a 2nd or 3rd Pinnacle, the 7 provides an opportunity to cultivate your specialized skills; while as the last Pinnacle, it offers spiritual refinement and development during a time of inner analysis and developing of knowledge, which can be eventually shared with others.

Steelsheen added the following calculations and descriptions on her journal

complete birthdate: June 5th, 2054 (6/5/2054)

First Pinnacle
formula: month of birth + day of birth
6+5= 11 is the first pinnacle
or
1+1= 2 is the first pinnacle

MASTER NUMBER ELEVEN (11/2): This Master Number Pinnacle, like any other, may also be reduced to its lower vobration, the 2, and experienced as merely that - the two Pinnacle. It is not until working at the level of the 11, the higher vibration of spiritual and philosophical rather than material, that you'll address the unique attributes of this number. The 11 Pinnacle indicates a challenging time of extreme intuition and sensitivity, experiencing intense revelations, enormous personal and spiritual growth, and a compelling sense of being different. In this Pinnacle, you possess a message to deliver to people and a desire to inspire those around you with that message.

TWO (2): Your greatest attainment will be to learn how to have harmonious relationships without sacrificing yourself. The number 2 Pinnacle represents unions, partnerships, patience, and fairness, with a focus on working as a team. During this time of your life, you may be learning to cooperate, share, and be considerate of others. The 2 Pinnacle may be a time where you will find achievement in fields of work where precision and detail are valued because you have a natural gift for relating facts, gathering and perfecting details, and knowing what's correct and right.



Second Pinnacle
formula: day of birth + year of birth= 2nd pinnacle
5 + 2054=
5 + (2+0+5+4)=
5 + 11=
5 + (1+1)=
5 + 2 = 7 is the second pinnacle

SEVEN (7): This is a time of study, research, introspection or soul development, with favoring of education, study, and specialization. With a 7 Pinnacle, it's a time to be a bit of a recluse and loner, focusing on your individual views. Country living is an excellent way to learn to be alone, to learn about yourself, and do research for areas of specialization. With this Pinnacle comes great wisdom, which others will seek to have the unexplainable explained. As a 2nd or 3rd Pinnacle, the 7 provides an opportunity to cultivate your specialized skills; while as the last Pinnacle, it offers spiritual refinement and development during a time of inner analysis and developing of knowledge, which can be eventually shared with others.



Third Pinnacle
formula: 1st Pinnacle + 2nd Pinnacle= 3rd Pinnacle
11 + 7=
(1+1) + 7=
2 + 7= 9 is the third pinnacle

NINE (9): This Pinnacle is known for emotional crises and you'll be expected to show a significant amount of compassion, tolerance, and love, while inspiring and uplifting others with your wisdom and caring nature. The 9 Pinnacle is a time for maturation and working through your emotions. This is not an easy Pinnacle because it is difficult to be loving and tolerant all the time; however, these things will have to be learned of this Pinnacle becomes one of great disappointment. Develop your global consciousness, intuition, and love for humanity during this time. As a First Pinnacle, this may be a time of early losses that bring early maturity. In the middle Pinnacles, this is a time of giving back to the world. As the last Pinnacle, it's a time of completion and material and spiritual wealth. During any position, you will be required to forget the self and develop into a true humanist.



Fouth Pinnacle
formula: month of birth + year of birth= 4th pinnacle
6 + 2054
6 + (2+0+5+4)
6 + 11
6 + (1+1)
6 + 2 = 8 is the fourth pinnacle

EIGHT (8): An eight in a Pinnacle position dictates a time for learning to handle the business world and any type of authority, and from that to discover your own sense of personal power. You will learn about money, power, authority, as well as the essentials of organization, leadership, responsibility, efficiency and management (particularly of financial matters). During an 8 Pinnacle, your judgment will be repeatedly tested during your opportunities to manage business and further your career. Recognition for your achievements are significant under this number. Home life may be of less importance under this Pinnacle, but that may be necessary to learn the important lesson - become your own authority and trust your true power.

Professor Shackleton heard both girls ask similar questions and answered them both at the same time. "It's not unusual to see numbers repeated; it just means it takes some of us longer than others to get the lessons and achieve our goals."

Professor Shackleton stepped beside Crystal and glanced over her paper. She spotted several small mistakes which resulted in a snowball effect of mistakes and smiled. Arithmancy could be challenging and no one was more aware than she how a simple miscalculation in one area could cause lots of trouble down the line. She corrected the girl's paper while explaining, "The Second Pinnacle should be the sum of the day of birth and the year of birth. If your birthday is 7/31/2054, you need to add 31 and 2054, not 7 and 2054. Here, I'll demonstrate:

Quote:

Second Pinnacle: 31 + 2054 = (3+1) + (2+0+5+4)
4 + 11 = 4 + (1+1) = 4 + 2 = 6
Second Pinnacle = 6

"Now, with this six, you will add it to your First Pinnacle to find your Third. If your First Pinnacle was two, you'll add 2 and 6 to get a Third Pinnacle of eight. Lastly, your Fourth Pinnacle should be your month of birth and year of birth. The calculation should look like this:

Quote:

7 + (2054) = 7 + (2+0+5+4)
7 + 11 = 7 + (1+1)
7 + 2 = 9
Fourth Pinnacle = 9

"Do you understand what I've changed? I'd like you to find the proper textbook descriptions using these numbers."

Eva sighed when she finished. She raised a hand to show her work to Professor Shecleton. Eva wasn´t totaly she had undestand everything correctly.
She raised her hand and waited for her turn.

once the professor had shown her where she had gone wrong she started to feel very embaressed, sorry Professor i wrote my date of birth wrong, thank you for helping me. she then procede to write the correct definitions:
Second pinnacle:
SIX (6): A six in any Pinnacle position dictates years of responsibility, love, duty, and family. Learn to think of the needs of others, doing all the giving and being responsible for everyone else, and you may find yourself learning to love and care for not only others but yourself. Under a first 6 Pinnacle, young people will tend to marry too early and feel a colossal responsibility to the family. Regardless of which Pinnacle the 6 resides in, it is a time of home, children, and beautifying your surroundings, particularly through community and humanitarian service. This is a time for honoring what's in your heart - because it is there that you must be truly responsible.

Fourth Pinnacle:
NINE (9): This Pinnacle is known for emotional crises and you'll be expected to show a significant amount of compassion, tolerance, and love, while inspiring and uplifting others with your wisdom and caring nature. The 9 Pinnacle is a time for maturation and working through your emotions. This is not an easy Pinnacle because it is difficult to be loving and tolerant all the time; however, these things will have to be learned of this Pinnacle becomes one of great disappointment. Develop your global consciousness, intuition, and love for humanity during this time. As a First Pinnacle, this may be a time of early losses that bring early maturity. In the middle Pinnacles, this is a time of giving back to the world. As the last Pinnacle, it's a time of completion and material and spiritual wealth. During any position, you will be required to forget the self and develop into a true humanist.

Professor Shackleton spotted a hand in the air and scurried over to Eva. "What can I help you with dear?" Mac glanced at her watch quickly and saw that she needed to move the lesson along as soon as she finished helping Eva if she wanted to cover everything appropriately and to put into motion her little plan for the classroom. She requested, "Actually, if you need some help with your calculations or interpretations, why don't you stop by office later on and we'll discuss them."

Returning to the front of the room, Professor Shackleton explained, "We're going to move the lesson along to the last piece of information you need to employ the knowledge gained by the Pinnacles. The next step is to determine the length of each Pinnacle. Because each Pinnacle will run for a specific length of time, you can figure how old you'll be under each of these four numbers. In order to determine these ages, we need to use the Life Path number. Who can tell me what the Life Path number is and how we calculate it?"

Steelsheen raised her hand to ask a question at the Professor:

"Professor Shackleton, for those of us with the pinnacle number 11, should we always try to reduce it to 2 or we could keep it at 11?"


Steelsheen raised her hand to answer:
"The Life Path Number is an element of the core that tells you both the road you will follow throughout your life and the talents and abilities that will help you along this road. This number tells you what you can depend upon to find success in the world. Note that while other people may share the same number, it is the combination of all your numbers that will explain how to proceed down this road of life.

You can find your Life Path Number by Adding together the month, day, and year you were born using the addition method of reducing first, then adding together."

Allie looked up the answer, and raised her hand.
"The Life path number tells you your path through life, and the talents and ablilities that will help you. It tell's you what to depend on to find success. You find this number by adding the month, day, and year you were born, using the addition method of reducing first, then adding together."

Amelia was thankful she had been looking up at the front of the classroom, when the Professor returned and addressed the class again with another question. A review question for those older students. Raising her hand, she answered as follows, reading from her textbook, "The Life Path Number is an element of the core that tells you both the road you will follow throughout your life and the talents and abilities that will help you along this road. One can calculate it by adding together the month, day, and year you were born using the addition method of reducing first, then adding together."

raising her hand Cela said "The Life Path is the sum of the birth date. This number represents who you are at birth and the native traits that you will carry with you through life."

Anna raised her hand and then replied, "The Life Path number is the part of the core than tells you where your life will lead and what you possess within you that will help you along life's pathway. It helps you find the elements you need to succeed in life. You calculate it by adding together the month, day, and year you were born, reducing, then adding together again."

"The answer to your question is that you always keep Master Number Pinnacles as their double digit number, though you should always refer to the information provided by the reduced number because it often plays a part in how you will live your life should you choose to ignore the higher vibration of the Master Number.

"And five points to you for having the correct answer!"

"Five points to each of your houses! Now, who would like to come up to the blackboard here and demonstrate the calculation of their own Life Path Number?"

Sabrina raised her hand when the professor asked someone to come to the board and demonstrate how to calculate their life path number.

Cela raised her hand to volunteer.

Juniper raised her hand. “I’ll do it,” she volunteered.

Allie raised her hand, to volunteer.

Anna raised her hand, hoping to volunteer. She shot a smile at Allie, thankful that the girl had just earned five points for Gryffindor.

Jezz sat and stared at the Professor with her mouth hanging halfway open. This made absolutely no sense. Instead of raising her hands like the other girls, she sat on them.

Amelia raised her hand to volunteer to demonstrate, but lowered it as she saw others had beat her to it. No chance in her being picked.

"Excellent! Lots of volunteers! You three can come up to the front and show the class how to calculate a Life Path Number." Shackleton looked at the blackboard and whipped out her wand. With a nonverbal casting of 'Engorgio,' the blackboard nearly tripled in size, thus allowing each of the students ample space to perform their calculations. Macadrian explained, "Please write your calculation to follow my example, but using your own birthdates." She cast floating numbers and symbols in mid-air:
