Freed from detention! Woooot! *Jumps in to catch up*
 
This aspirations things was a very confused one for Josh for he had no idea what he was going to do in the future. If one had asked him about a few weeks ago, he might have mentioned them two or three things...but now he just had no idea. None. Zero. So, probably that was the reason he had been so silent so far. Or he was just tired of the stuff he had lived through lately. He was feeling emotially tired. It was like his soul was tired of what had happened.

Whatever...

Eyeing the calculating Simon, Iris and the others were doing on the board and aroudn him in the class, the Gryffindor thought it would be good enough to distract himself from this not-so-nice thoughts if he had started calculating as well. Yes, that could work. So, grabbing his quill and pulling a parchment in front of him, the boy began working on his calculations.

Soo calculating the Life Path Number, it meant now he was done with this right? Eh. There was a problem though: He had no idea if his calculating was correct. He kew had made mistakes before. It was easy to make mistakes when deating with Arithmancy stuff yet, though he had checked them again, he couldn't see and fail calculating. Eh...done then.

*drops the quill*

Picking up her quill, Vashti tapped the feather-end of it against her chin as she quietly watched some of the students calculate one of their pinnacle numbers on the board. Didn't look too hard to do. But apparently she needed her life path number as well which...was somewhere in her notes. She probably should have memorized it by now or something, but she hadn't. And she didn't really feel like looking for it either. Might take her the entire class period to find it, and what would be the point in having it then since class would be over? Simply recalculating it was much easier. So she dipped her quill in her ink bottle and began calculating in her notes.

Hm... hopefully all that was right. Now just to see what it all meant.

So far, so good. A slight smile appeared at his mumbling, once holding the book she made sure it was right-side up and turned so he could look at it if needed. One hand holding the bottom, her thumb preventing the pages to turn, her other hand at the top of the spine to keep it still as she watched him carefully finish the chart.

Shifting his textbook, Katie closed it before offering it back. Wait - Little Mae? Had he just called her Little Mae? Not even Cub. Not Katie. Not Kaitlynnh. Little Mae! What, was he Tyson now?! Of ALL the things he could have called her in class.. perhaps she had thought too soon on 'so far, so good' with working together on a simple, little task. Her eyebrows raised, giving him a questioning look. "First I'm a girl, and now I'm Little Mae?" Katie didn't particularly care it wasn't the best time or place for a discussion, and SURE she was shorter than some, but he had called her LITTLE in front of the whole classroom and Professor Hadley. "I AM a young woman, Legend. Believe it or not, I'm not a little girl anymore." Sure, Ty still called her that. But he was also ten years older than her, and Legend was not.

With that said, Katie turned around and went back to take her seat. Their task was complete.

As he tried to write everything in a neat way the page kept flipping to other things. "Alright you hold it." He mumbled, placing the book in her hands.

There done. Legend grinned as he finished the last bit of the chart. "Excellent working with you little Mae." Hopefully it was right and they hadn't messed everything up. It would be ten times worse if they had copied it wrong.
" How did you find your life path?" William asked Legend. I am confused between the Pinnacles and Life Paths number" William told Legend.

Samira bit her lip as she leaned back and-attempted-to calculate her pinnacle.

SPOILER!!: Samira's Calculations


First Pinnacle = Month of Birth + Day of Birth

April + 19
4 + 19
22 = 2


Second Pinnacle = Day of Birth + Year of Birth

19 + (2060)
19 + (2+0+6+0)
19 + 8
19 + (0+8)
19 + 8 = 27

04 + (2+0+6+0)
4 + (2+0+6+0)
4 + 8
4 + (0+8)

Err...was this right? Samira was not so sure...she looked up at the Professor for guidance, incase she made a careless mistake.

Katie was on a rant, as always. It was annoying. He had only called her a simple nickname. One that his older brother had given her about 10 years ago but still! Legend had only been joking. Katie, however was a living Dementor. Sucking the fun out of every moment of life. "Hmhm. That's a shame. You were more fun when you were a little girl." Even if she had been evil. All her fake crying and girl ways. As much as he hated to admit it, she had been easier to deal with then.

Legend looked at William before blinking for a second. "Dude. Your life path. One of the first things you learn in Arithmancy." Clearly though, the boy didn't remember, so Legend took it upon himself to explain. "Your Life Path is one of the basic Arithmancy number. It basically tells you what rode you're going to follow in your life. It's the one where you add the month, day, and year where you were born, then reduce everything. Once you get the number, that's your Life Path Number, and the textbook will tell you what your number means for you."

The Prefect found that, the Life Path Number was one of the easiest things to learn. "The Pinnacles is what Hadley is trying to teach now. Chapter 22 in your textbook. They are suppose to tell your greatest accomplishment, or something of that sort. With the Life Path Number and the Pinnacles together you'll be able to tell at what age will the specific important accomplishments happen." That was how he understood. Legend hoped he hadn't explained it wrong or too confusing.

Kurumi watched as student performed their calculations on the board before returning to her parchment and jotted down the appropriate notes at the top of her page. This was her favorite part of the lesson: calculating. Honestly, who didn't think that numbers and calculations were the poetry of logical ideas and, dare she say it, even life? Simple really, and those who not believe that mathematics is so just do not realize how complicated life is. After all, the essence of Arithmancy is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple.

Practically beaming, Kurumi picked up her quill and flashed a smile at Treyen who looked like he was about ready to check out. Giggling under her breath, Kurumi set to making her calculations and copying from her textbook the descriptions of each number.

SPOILER!!: Kurumi's parchment

Arithmancy Lesson Two : The Pinnacles
Kurumi Hollingberry // Gryffindor // third year
The Pinnacles a set of numbers to lead you to your greatest accomplishment. A pinnacle, but definition alone, is highest point of level. In life, this could mean a point were we are at our best or perhaps a point at which we have achieved one of our goals and are feeling like we literally are on top of the world. In Arithmancy, pinnacles are a set of numbers that will lead you towards your greatest accomplishment, a means to reveal your potential for achievement and success. They also show us what is possible for us to achieve in a given period of our life. There are a total of four pinnacles in a person's life and are considered long term.

Life Path Number
Month + Day + Year
May 12, 2061
(0+5)+(1+2)+(2+0+6+1) = (5)+(3)+(9)= 17 = (1+7) = 8

How to calculate pinnacles:
  • First Pinnacle = month of birth + day of birth
  • Second Pinnacle = day of birth + year of birth
  • Third Pinnacle = First Pinnacle + Second Pinnacle
  • Fourth Pinnacle = month of birth + year of birth

my birthday is 05/12/2061

First Pinnacle
(0+5) + (1+2) = 5+3 = 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.

Second Pinnacle
(1+2)+(2+0+6+1) = (3)+(9) = 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.

Third Pinnacle
8 + 5 = 13 = 1 + 3 = 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.

Forth Pinnacle
(2+0+6+1)+(0+5) = (9)+(5) = 14 = (1+4) = 5
Prepare yourself for change and uncertainty, while relaxing on restrictions of your past patterns to deliver you freedom and liberation. Many people don't like change, so if you're one of these people, this time can be very unsettling, filled with restlessness, activity, and public life. Changes in attitudes, career paths, and business decisions that are forward thinking favor sales and promotions and do well under this 5 energy. Learn during this time to avoid impulsive choices, especially the urge to quit and leave. The major attainment is to learn to be flexible and adaptable.


Finishing her calculations, Kurumi sat back and looked at her parchment for a moment trying to make sense of it all. Which pinnacle was she in right now? She supposed that that would come with Professor Hadley's next words, so she sat back for now and glanced at Treyen who seemed to be struggling a bit. Giggling once more under her breath, Kurumi not-so-subtly pushed her paper towards him with her elbow and kept her gaze looking forward as her cheeks flushed a rosy pink.

" I did forget the first lesson" William told Legend. " I should have remembered since I got a good grade on the homework" William said to Legend. So I add 11 because my month is November, then add 23 because that is when I eas born, then this number would be 11+23= 34 which would be reduced to 7 when yo uadd 3+ 4, right?" Willaim asked Legend and the professor. I remembered about The Pinnacles and Life Path numbers telling the accomplishments that will happen at our certain ages" William explained to Legend. " Thanks for the help" William smiled.

Sophie watched intently as each volunteer went up and wrote their calculations on the board. When all of them were done Professor Hadley tasked them to calculate their own pinnacles with the use of the life path number. Opening up her text book the lioness prefect calculated her life path number first. Content with the result she concentrated hard and began with the pinnacles that would prove a bigger challenge one that she couldn't do half-heartedly.

SPOILER!!: Sophie's calculations

Name: Sophie Connolly
House: Gryffindor
Birthday:
February 16 2058

Life path number (month + day + year)
(0+2)+(1+6)+(2+0+5+8)= (2)+(7)+(15)= 24 =2+4= 6

How to calculate pinnacles:
First Pinnacle = month of birth + day of birth
Second Pinnacle = day of birth + year of birth
Third Pinnacle = First Pinnacle + Second Pinnacle
Fourth Pinnacle = month of birth + year of birth

My birthday is 02/16/2058

First pinnacle:
(0+2) + (1+6)= (2+7)= 9

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.

Second pinnacle:
(1+6)+ (2+0+5+8)= (7)+(15)= 22 = (2+2)= 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:
(8+2)= 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.

Fourth pinnacle:
(02)+(2058)=(2)+(2+0+5+8)= 2+15=17=1+7= 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.


Sophie finished her calculations and put her quill down, wiping away some small beads of sweat from her face. Taking up her quill again she copied off the description for each number. Done with her work she leaned back in her seat and waited as her peers around her still worked with their calculations.

Simon looked at the Professor, this was so confusing, he had no idea what he had to do or how to do it, all he wanted to do was easy things like adding things together which would also have been more fun than trying to find out all this information.

Savannah almost gagged as she looked at other people's caculations. She's sooooo comfused.

Savannah slowly raised her hand. "Umm...I'm comfused professor." Savvy asked slowly, hoping that she doesn't look so stupid.

Sarah watched as the others started their calculations. Some had already finished. She stared for while and then picked up her quill. She wrote the heading, Arithmancy Lesson #2 paused for a moment. Should I really do this? she thought. She looked at the professor, nodded and then continued.

When she finished her work, she dropped the quill and folded the parchment and continued looking at others. She then turned to the professor to tell her she was done. She raised her hand timidly, Sheesh! I'm so nervous! and said, "Professor, do you think mine is right?". She opened the parchment to show it.

Penny re-did her pinnacles but this time did her life path number too..
Looking up at the board, she was very confused with the other calculations...
Putting her hand in the air.."Professor, i'm sorry, but I don't understand what Katie and Legend have done there on the board"

Life Path Number = month+day+year of birth

(0+5)+(0+5)+(2+0+6+3)
5 + 5 + 11 = 21
2 + 1 = 3

Meaning: THREE (3): Your path will entice you to be both spontaneous and creative, to live your life with joy and imagination. You will learn the benefits of optimism and enthusiasm, and how to express your emotions and exuberance. Once you've mastered these concepts, you'll move on to the next phase - inspiring others. You're a born communicator and your wit and lightheartedness will help others see the joy in any situation. Artistic, creative, and articulate are words to describe someone with a 3 Life Path. Career/vocation options should relate to anything artistic - writing, speaking, designing, illustrating, dancing, etc.

The pinnacles and life path number had been, so far, only numbers and calculations, but Ariadne was very interested in what they actually represented. Curious, as always, the first year Gryffindor raised her hand: 'Professor, what do we do after we have finished calculating? How do we interpret the numbers we obtained?' Probably a silly question, which older students knew everything about.

But what did all the numbers mean? Ariella flipped through her Arithmancy textbook, hoping to find some answers.

Fallon decided to go about and do her own figurings while the people at the board demonstrated. She actually somewhat understood this class. And it was refreshing to be able to actually use it. She decided to do her life path number again because she couldn't remember it for the life of her. She opened her text book so she could write down the meaning as well.

Meaning: Your path will lead you to work out the difference between money and the real value of life. You must learn what to do with your natural power and authority, but this is not an easy path. Once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - being in charge. You're a born boss and your natural power and authority cause others to look to you when a decision needs to be made. The reward or you won't necessarily be financial but may come in terms of accomplishment and legacy. Career/vocation options include any field where you can be in charge and where you can utilize your superior skill of good judgment.


Fallon looked over the work, pretty satisfied with it. Now to the pinnacles. She turned the book to that page and started to work.

SPOILER!!: Pinnacles
First Pinnacle
6 + 6
12 = (1 + 2)
3

Meaning: 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.

Second Pinnacle
6 + (2 + 0 + 5 +7)
6 + 14
6 + (1 + 4)
6 + 5
11 = 1 + 1
2

Meaning: 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.

Third Pinnacle
3 + 2
5

Meaning: Prepare yourself for change and uncertainty, while relaxing on restrictions of your past patterns to deliver you freedom and liberation. Many people don't like change, so if you're one of these people, this time can be very unsettling, filled with restlessness, activity, and public life. Changes in attitudes, career paths, and business decisions that are forward thinking favor sales and promotions and do well under this 5 energy. Learn during this time to avoid impulsive choices, especially the urge to quit and leave. The major attainment is to learn to be flexible and adaptable.

Fourth Pinnacle
6 + (2 + 0 + 5 +7)
6 + 14
6 + (1 + 4)
6 + 5
11 = 1 + 1
2

Meaning: 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.


Fallon looked at her calculations. She raised her hand, mainly because she was somewhat confused. "Professor, two of my pinnacles are the same. Did I do something wrong?" She hoped not.

elllla_Wtwins 06-19-2011 05:25 PM
Scribbling out yet another few sums, Thea settled down her quill. This was hard for her.. she had never been the best at maths problems.
Scratching her ear, Thea wrinkled her nose. Why was she still finding this hard?!?!

Roselyn 06-19-2011 05:40 PM
The moment she was looking forward to during the arithmancy lessons. The calculations. All simple math logic, wasn't it? Of course it was. One didn't really even have to think about it, which was nice, and you just have to go with the flow with the numbers. Nothing really complicated about that at all. As the others went up to do the calculations on the board, she watched for a moment or so, before setting up her notebook, quill, and ink.

The calculations she may like, but it was reading what they meant that got on her nerves sometimes. Especially that family number. Pffft.

SPOILER!!: Evelyn's notebook

Life Path
Month + Day + Year = Life Path

8/20/2058
8 + (2) + (2 + 0 + 5 + 8)
10 + (15)
1 + 6 = 7

SEVEN (7): Your path will lead you to study, test, and analyze everything because you can't be satisfied with anything at face value. You'll seek the meaning of existence and will always be exploring mysteries and the unexplainable to find meaning for your life. Once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - sharing your wisdom of the metaphysical with others. You're a born seeker - philosophical, scientific, etc. - and because of your solitary investigation of the unknown, others will seek you out for your wisdom. Career/vocation options include any job that calls for analysis, deductive reasoning, or scientific knowledge, such as teaching, or any field where you'll be allowed to study or contemplate things bigger than you.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


First Pinnacle
Month of birth + Day of birth

August + 20
8 + 20 (2)
10 = 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.

Second Pinnacle
Day of birth + Year of birth

20 + 2058
2 + (2 + 0 + 5 + 8)
2 + (15)
2 + 6 = 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.


Third Pinnacle
First Pinnacle + Second Pinnacle

1 + 8 = 9

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.


Fourth Pinnacle
Month of birth + Year of birth

August + 2058
8 + (2 + 0 + 5 + 8)
8 + (15)
8 + 6 = 14 (1 + 4) = 5

FIVE (5): Prepare yourself for change and uncertainty, while relaxing on restrictions of your past patterns to deliver you freedom and liberation. Many people don't like change, so if you're one of these people, this time can be very unsettling, filled with restlessness, activity, and public life. Changes in attitudes, career paths, and business decisions that are forward thinking favor sales and promotions and do well under this 5 energy.

Professor Hadly and Fallon. <3
 
Going back to her seat, Iris took her quill out of her hair. She'd already done three of them, and now only had one more to do. She opened her text book to the chapter with the pinnacle meanings, and took out the journal she'd kept all her important Arithmancy work in over the last 7 years.

Going to a fresh page in the journal, Iris wrote down the heading, then quickly copied down the three pinnacles she already had. Once she'd done that, she then worked out the fourth pinnacle.

SPOILER!!: Iris's journal page

LPN: 3
First: age 0 - 33
Second: age 33 - 42
Third: age 42 - 51
Fourth: age 51 ->

First pinnacle: 6
month of birth + day of birth
February + 13
02 + (1 + 3)
02 + 4 = 6

Second pinnacle: 1
day of birth + year of birth
13 + 2058
(1 + 3) + (2 + 0 + 5 + 8)
4 + 15
4 + (1 + 5)
4 + 6 = 10 = 1

Third pinnacle: 7
First Pinnacle + Second Pinnacle
6 + 1 = 7

Fourth pinnacle: 8
month of birth + year of birth
02 + 2058
2 + (2 + 0 + 5 + 8)
2 + 15
2 + (1 + 5)
2 + 6 = 8


Finding that her fourth pinnacle was 8, Iris grinned. Nearly all done, eh? Looking up at the chart on the board, Iris then matched her Life Path Number up to the chart, to see how long she'd be guided by each pinnacle. After reading the chart, she adding these details to the top of her page.

The Head Girl looked across the table to Fallon when she questioned her answers to Professor Hadley, and leaned over to look at the numbers Fallon had come up with. "Nuuu, that's right. You were born on the Sixth of the Sixth... Your second and fourth pinnacles will be the same." Iris smiled at her best friend, reassuringly. Fallon was way too smart to get the answers wrong! Especially with stuff this easy. "That might just means that you're not going to complete whatever you're supposed to do in the time of the second pinnacle, but you'll have time again to do that stuff when your in the fourth one." As odd as it might sound to some, Iris really believed in the things Arithmancy taught you. There was solid ground beneath the predicting; not like Divination.

She flipped open the book and looked at the meanings. 2 was the number Fallon got twice, right? Reading over that meaning, Iris frowned a bit. Eh... it was a bit of a touchy one to suggest that she might not get it right the first time she's supposed to... Ahh well. Fallon could decide if Iris was talking sense or not for herself.

Turning back to her own work, Iris ran her finger down the page until she found the meaning for a pinnacle of 6.

Under a first 6 Pinnacle, young people will tend to marry too early ... "
Iris didn't read any further than that. She just stared at the words in front of her.

"Under a first 6 Pinnacle, young people will tend to marry too early"

Reading and rereading that sentence, Iris blinked a couple of times. She always said she wanted a really big family, but the book worded it like marrying early was going to be a mistake! And besides, how could she marry too early? That was certainly something Aaron seemed to have no thoughts about... he seemed comfortable where they were now.

Either way, the pinnacle was suggesting that she was most probably going to be married with kids before she turns 33... and being honest, The Head Girl wasn't sure if she wanted to be ecstatic or terrified by that.

Fallon smiled as Iris answered the question for her. "All right. I was just wondering. Didn't want to mess up on something this simple." She would have felt not that smart if she'd messed up. Arithmancy really was becoming easy for her. And then Iris was explaining how it could mean a second chance. She hoped not. It really was a weird one to get twice...."Thanks Iris."

All her fake crying and girl ways. As much as he hated to admit it, she had been easier to deal with then.
Right before reaching her desk, Katie turned abruptly to face Legend again. Oh, was that what he thought now? "That's not what you thought before." was her only response, dark eyes on him and only him. A younger Legend had not liked her crying, and her shouting, and they had constantly faught. Katie couldn't even keep track of how many times he had called her a cry baby. Legend was just saying that, or he was honestly delusional.

Putting her hand in the air.."Professor, i'm sorry, but I don't understand what Katie and Legend have done there on the board"
Her gaze drifting away from Legend, Katie was about to return behind her desk when she noticed a smaller Hufflepuff speak up asking Hadley about the pinnacles duration table she and the BOY had written on the board. Since a few other students were asking about their calculations, Katie took it upon herself to help. "The ages of pinnacle cycles vary person to person based upon their life path number, and the chart Legend and I copied onto the board shows you what age you'll be at each stage in life, using your life path number." The seventh year explained, gesturing toward the blackboard as she took a glance at the table herself and then back to the younger girl, "For example, my life path number is three, meaning my first pinnacle cycle starts at birth and lasts until I'm thirty-three. Then, I'd go into my second cycle."

Rummaging through his messenger bag, Salander finally pulled out his quill and enough parchment to get some number crunching down. It looks to be just date of birth and stuff, which he is very thankful for since he really doesnt want another crick in the neck trying to decode his name...

SPOILER!!: Salander's parchment

Date of Birth: June 5th 2056 (06/05/2056)

Life path number= Month + Day + Year
6+5+2+0+5+6= 24
2+4= 6

Life path number= 6
Quote:
SIX (6): Your path will lead you to live responsibly at home and work to achieve balance between giving and receiving. This path is one of aid and service, and once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - achieving balance between giving and receiving. You're a born counselor - sympathetic and caring - which makes others seek you out for advice. Career/vocation options include any job in the service industry where you can make life more comfortable, easy, and luxurious for others, including medicine, decorating, beauty products, training animals, teaching, and counseling.


First Pinnacle = Month of Birth + Day of Birth
6+5=11

First pinnacle= 11
Quote:
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.

Second Pinnacle = Day of Birth + Year of Birth
5+2+0+5+6= 18
1+8= 7

Second pinnacle= 7
Quote:
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 = First Pinnacle + Second Pinnacle
11 +7 = 18
1+8= 9

Third Pinnacle= 9
Quote:
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.


Fourth Pinnacle = Month of Birth + Year of Birth

Treyen had absolutely no choice but to sink in his seat after such a horrible glaring scene. He was getting that bat in his head if he went near the Stands, he knew it. Sigh.
When Treyen finally looked the other way, Sierra took the opportunity to steal a glance his way. She felt terrible for ignoring him, but if he hadn't so hastily, in her opinion, chained himself down to the Stone girl, then maybe Sierra would feel a little differently about him.

They really did need to get to work on their project again. It'd be a good opportunity to steal him back.

"Eager?" she mumbled under her breath. She gritted her teeth together just a little. Eager?! She was about eager to volunteer in Arithmancy as she was to support Hufflepuff in their pathetic race for the house cup...

Overlooking their work, she smiled as they seemed to grasp the calculations quickly. As Alex hadn't come up yet.... "Penny dear? Why don't you go up and copy your first pinnacle onto the board? And then go ahead and explain how to calculate that number.".
Sierra smirked in amusement. Alex hadn't come up yet, had he?! HAHAHAHAHAHA! He'd chickened out, hadn't he?! Her day had been made.

Wait--they had to calculate their Life Path Number and their Pinnacles?! Well that was asking just a little too much, now wasn't it?! Sierra hated Arithmancy. She peered around the room. She'd cheat off somebody else, but the only other person with her exact birthdate (that she knew of, at least) was her Puffer Brother, and he didn't seem to be making a move to do anything.

...the slacker.

So she sighed and cracked open her textbook. It made a sound like a new book being opened for the very first time. She dipped her quill in ink and then got started:

Text Cut: Sierra's Parchment
Life Path Number:

March 17, 2062
03 + 17 + 2062
(0+3) + (1+7) + (2+0+6+2)
(3) + (8) + (1+0)
(3) + (8) + (1) = 12
1 + 2 = 3
Meaning: THREE (3): Your path will entice you to be both spontaneous and creative, to live your life with joy and imagination. You will learn the benefits of optimism and enthusiasm, and how to express your emotions and exuberance. Once you've mastered these concepts, you'll move on to the next phase - inspiring others. You're a born communicator and your wit and lightheartedness will help others see the joy in any situation. Artistic, creative, and articulate are words to describe someone with a 3 Life Path. Career/vocation options should relate to anything artistic - writing, speaking, designing, illustrating, dancing, etc.
First Pinnacle

March 17
(0+3) + (1+7)
(3) + (8) = 11
1 + 1 = 2

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.

In this Pinnacle, you possess a message to deliver to people and a desire to inspire those around you with that message.
Second Pinnacle:

17 & 2062
(1+7) + (2+0+6+2)
(8) + (1+0)
(8) + (1) = 9
Meaning: 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.

During any position, you will be required to forget the self and develop into a true humanist.
Third Pinnacle:

2 + 9 = 11
1+ 1 = 2
Meaning: 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.
Fourth Pinnacle:

03 & 2062
(0+3) + (2+0+6+2)
(3) + (1+0)
(3) + (1) = 4
Meaning: 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.


She may have also--without realizing it, of course--doodled a little at the bottom of her parchment:

Nika looked up at Professor Hadley and then back at her parchment again. Since everyone looked like they were busy at work Nika might as well work on finding all of the pinnacles too. She sighed as she took out her book and opened it up.

FIVE (5): You'll have many forks along your path and you'll welcome each change as a new opportunity with unknown results. Change is key and once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - championing freedom. You're progressive and super-resourceful, which make you equally good at many different trades. Career/vocation options include working with the public, advertising, publicity, or sales - any kind of work that calls for energizing power rather than routine. Travel is well-suited to you.

Third Pinnacle:

4 & 1
(0+4)+(0+1)

FIVE (5): Prepare yourself for change and uncertainty, while relaxing on restrictions of your past patterns to deliver you freedom and liberation. Many people don't like change, so if you're one of these people, this time can be very unsettling, filled with restlessness, activity, and public life. Changes in attitudes, career paths, and business decisions that are forward thinking favor sales and promotions and do well under this 5 energy. Learn during this time to avoid impulsive choices, especially the urge to quit and leave. The major attainment is to learn to be flexible and adaptable.

Nika reread her calculations before looking back up to her professor and raising her hand high in the air. "Erm is it okay if I my fourth and fifth pinnacles are the same?" She asked uncertainly. Maybe she just miscalculated or something...

OOC: I hope I got the year right... Haha, it's hard for me to keep track of it!
 
Okay, this shouldn't be hard. Lucas had always been interested in Arithmancy and thought he was pretty good at it, too. He didn't have his life path number handy, so he decided to just throw that in with his pinnacle calculations.

Okay, he thought he'd done that right. What was 3, anyway? May as well look it up while he was thinking of it.

Your path will entice you to be both spontaneous and creative, to live your life with joy and imagination. You will learn the benefits of optimism and enthusiasm, and how to express your emotions and exuberance. Once you've mastered these concepts, you'll move on to the next phase - inspiring others. You're a born communicator and your wit and lightheartedness will help others see the joy in any situation. Artistic, creative, and articulate are words to describe someone with a 3 Life Path. Career/vocation options should relate to anything artistic - writing, speaking, designing, illustrating, dancing, etc.


Hmm, sounded pretty much like him. And he'd always sort of secretly wanted to be a writer... Well, anyway. Pinnacles. He looked up at the board to see what the examples were, then looked back at the textbook. Alright, seemed easy enough.

Okay, got it. Right? He looked up at the board to see the chart for what pinnacle occurred when. Hmm. Okay. His life path was 3, so that meant that he was in his first pinnacle until he was 33. It looked like that one was going to be full of "change and uncertainty." Wonderful. He wasn't much for big changes... Oh, well. Hopefully they'd be good changes? He had to learn to be "flexible and adaptable." Alright, he thought he was already doing a pretty good job of that.

His second pinnacle would be from ages 33-42. That one would be one in which he learned to become more independent. Okay, a little scary, but really not a big deal, right?

The third pinnacle would be from 42-51, and it would be full of "responsibility, duty, love, and family." Ooh, this one sounded pretty good. He liked the way this one sounded from the description in the textbook.

The last pinnacle would be from age 51 on. Okay, what would the last stage of his life be like? Time to be a "recluse and loner." Wait, was he gonna be old alone? He didn't like the sound of that. Although being a scholarly hermit sounded like it could be kind of fun... Right? Okay, okay, keep reading, Lucas. Great wisdom, huh? He liked the sound of that. Oh, alright. As the last pinnacle, it was full of "spiritual refinement and development during a time of inner analysis and developing of knowledge, which can be eventually shared with others." Ooh, so he'd be like a wise old guy. Awesome.

Hmm. Had he gotten ahead with the interpretations? There were other people doing them, so he guessed not. Well, alright. Cool. Pretty good life he had ahead of himself.
