What is challenge number?
The challenge number represents or interprets several obstacles, hurdles and difficulties that we face at difference phases of our life. The challenges are the weak points in our life path. The knowledge about the challenges well in advance will help us to face the roadblocks boldly and overcome the situations with an ease.
Numerologists have to say there are three major challenges all of us have to face at three phases of our life. They named these as, Early Challenge, Middle Challenge, and Main Challenge.
Early Challenge
The difficulties you face in the first 28 years of your life (or some numerologists say up to the ages of 30-35)
Middle Challenge
The difficulties you may face in the second 28 years of your life (or up to the ages 55-60)
Main Challenge
The difficulties you face in the later part of your life. The main challenge number also interprets the chronic obstacles that you face in your entire life.
How to calculate challenge numbers?
Reduce each of the month, the day, and the year of birth to a single digit number. Thus October 13, 1971 becomes
Month=10=>1+0=>1
Day= 13=>1+3=>4
Year=1971=>1+9+7+1=>18=>1+8=>9
In this case Master Numbers are reduced.
The Early Challenge is derived by finding the difference between the month of birth and the day of birth. Here in this example, the Early Challenge number is 4-1=3.
The Middle Challenge Number is derived by finding the difference between day of birth and year of birth; The Middle Challenge Number in this example is 9-4=5.
The Main challenge number is identified by finding the difference between the Early and Middle Challenge Number. Our example would have a 5-3=2 as Main Challenge.
