Each of us is born with both strengths and weaknesses. Numerology looks at life as if it were an educational process that is meant to bring out and enhance our talents, and turn our weaknesses into strengths. This serves to complete our being.
The job of becoming whole is one in which we must face our weaknesses and consciously work to improve ourselves. There are four Challenges to be faced during our lives. For many of us, the same challenge is repeated, while others have four distinctly different lessons to learn.

The Challenges on your life's path provide specific lessons that you must attend to, and, in order to inspire and help you, life will place you in situations that require the specific characteristics of your Challenge numbers.
The four Challenges you are required to overcome during the course of this lifetime will influence you during different periods of your life, except for the Third or Main Challenge, which lasts from birth until death.

The Challenges are fluid periods of your life, not confined to specific years so much as general periods. All of your Challenges are present at birth, like actors standing in the wings. Most of us overcome our Challenges at least to some extend, if not entirely.
The duration of the First Challenge usually lasts from birth until approximately the age of 30 to 35. The Second Challenge most strongly influences your during the middle part of your life until about age 55 to 60. The Third Challenge is also called your Main Challenge and is felt throughout life. The Fourth and Final Challenge starts around age 60 to 65.

Before we guide you to your First Challenge number, you may want to take a look here, to learn more about the calculation methods for Challenges.

Challenges are one of the few areas in numerology where we deduct numbers!

Your First Challenge is calculated by subtracting your month from your day of birth, or vice versa. It is the difference between the month and day of birth.

Because we subtract, a result of 0 (zero) is possible.

It is also quite common to have a Challenge repeat more than once.

Select your month and day of birth in the boxes below.

January = [ 1 ] February = [ 2 ] March = [ 3 ] April = [ 4 ] May = [ 5 ] June = [ 6 ] July = [ 7 ] August = [ 8 ] September = [ 9 ] October = [ 1 ] November = [ 2 ] December = [ 3 ]

1 = [ 1 ] 2 = [ 2 ] 3 = [ 3 ] 4 = [ 4 ] 5 = [ 5 ] 6 = [ 6 ] 7 = [ 7 ] 8 = [ 8 ] 9 = [ 9 ] 10= [ 1 ] 11= [2] 12= [ 3 ] 13= [ 4 ] 14= [ 5 ] 15= [ 6 ] 16= [ 7 ] 17= [ 8 ] 18= [ 9 ] 19= [ 1 ] 20= [ 2 ] 21= [ 3 ] 22= [4] 23= [ 5 ] 24= [ 6 ] 25= [ 7 ] 26= [ 8 ] 27= [ 9 ] 28= [ 1 ] 29= [2] 30= [ 3 ] 31= [ 4 ] This box shows the value of your Day of Birth.

Write down the values shown in the boxes above (between brackets).

Next, deduct the value of the month from the value of the day, or vice versa and refer to the table below to find your First Challenge number. (Make a note of your First Challenge number - you will need it later.)

The result of subtracting your month from your day of birth or vice versa, came to:

0	Your First Challenge number is: 0
1 or 10	Your First Challenge number is: 1
2, 11, or 20	Your First Challenge number is: 2
3, 12, or 21	Your First Challenge number is: 3
4, 13, or 22	Your First Challenge number is: 4
5 or 14	Your First Challenge number is: 5
6 or 15	Your First Challenge number is: 6
7 or 16	Your First Challenge number is: 7
8 or 17	Your First Challenge number is: 8

Your Birth Day number is simply the day of your birth. This number is not reduced. Each of the 31 birth days is described separately.

The day you were born bears great significance in understanding who you are and where your talents lie. The day of birth indicates some special talent you possess. It is a gift to you that will help you along your Life's Path. Your day of birth is one of your four core numbers — the Life Path, Expression, Heart's Desire being the other three. It is the least significant of the four core numbers, but perhaps the most finite, in that it reveals a specific ability you possess in a marked degree.

Can Numerology predict health problems, financial difficulties, accidents, and other potential problems?

Numerology can both predict and not predict your future. Certain cycles definitely point to the possibility of painful experiences at certain times in your life, such as accidents, money problems, divorce, and the like. In the same way, numerology foretells many positive events.

However, numerology teaches us that at such times the person always has the opportunity to turn the course of events in his favor, or to let a beautiful opportunity slide by. Numerology can indicate, for example, that a certain period of your life will be highly rewarding, a kind of payment for years of effort. Numerology can be very accurate in such predictions. However, the rewards are comparable to the effort you have made. Little effort brings small rewards; great effort brings great rewards. In the same way, numerology reveals the sowing and the harvesting cycles of life. If you have sown seeds of selfishness and greed, you will experience a time of loss — financial loss, or the loss of support from others.

Your chart reveals your potential, your strengths, your weaknesses, your challenges, and your lessons to be learned. Every number suggests potential strengths and weaknesses; all things have their light and dark sides. It is you freedom as an individual to draw from your highest potential,. A numerologist can have a good idea of which direction a person will likely move in, and how much of his potential he will use or abuse. This is known by considering the balance of a chart, or the spreading of energies. This is by far the biggest challenge for a numerologist, even after many years of experience.

Numerology reflects the perfection and immaculate balance of this creation
