If you calculate your Personal Year Number for 2025, and then look at your 1st Pinnacle, you'll quickly realise they're the same Number. For example, if your 1st Pinnacle is a 4, then you're in a 4 Personal Year, right now. If your 1st Pinnacle is a 7, then you're in a 7 Personal Year. (And so on through all the Numbers.) As surprising as it may seem, this pattern holds for everyone—no exceptions.
Now, you may be thinking, "Wait. What are Pinnacles??"
But even if you've never heard of them before, or you find the numerology technique a bit of a head-scratcher, the key takeaway is this: For the whole of 2025, everyone on the planet will experience the activation of their 1st Pinnacle; they'll be working with the core themes and dynamics of the energies shown here. It's extraordinary when you stop to think about it.
Importantly, this offers a real opportunity for healing and growth, as the 1st Pinnacle is the time period associated with our childhood, teenage years, early adulthood . . . and our past lives. The 1st Pinnacle holds these karmic stories—the ancient narratives, enmities, fears, and dynamics that we've brought in with us from other lifetimes, providing an opportunity to work through these old wounds and heal from them.
Both individually and collectively, 2025 offers a real opportunity to release these old patterns. Considering all that's happening in the world, this feels like a blessed opportunity; and one not to be taken lightly or wasted.
Does this activation of the 1st Pinnacle happen every year?
No. This phenomenon only occurs when we're in a 9 Universal Year, which we're currently in.
2025
= 2 + 0 + 2 + 5
= 9
It's intriguing, right?
Let's look at the deeper significations of the 1st Pinnacle more closely.
2025's Numerology: 1st Pinnacle Activation
Understanding the Connection Between your 1st Pinnacle and your Youth
The 1st Pinnacle is the time period associated with your childhood, teenage years, and early adulthood. Certain qualities in your family may be endearing, and you may love your family very much. But whenever the 1st Pinnacle is activated, it has the potential to dredge up complex family dynamics, insecure attachments, and any unresolved wounds from your youth. Sometimes, it unearths long-buried memories and family skeletons, as well.
Over the coming year, you may find yourself reflecting on the pivotal events, emotional landscape, and key themes of your youth; travelling to your childhood home; or visiting with family, or old friends. Questions of family duty, obligation, and loyalty may be raised. (How do you feel about the sentiment that blood is thicker than water?) You may also be reminded of family members that you're no longer in relationship with—whether that's through estrangement or bereavement.
Yes, this can be an emotionally and psychologically challenging time for many of us. You could find yourself feeling helpless, apprehensive, or defensive; reverting to old ways of being and relating. Whenever the 1st Pinnacle is activated by a transit, I think of Ram Dass' quote, “If you think you are enlightened, go and spend a week with your family.” Family has a way of bringing all of our "stuff" up.
You're encouraged to contemplate and journal on these old patterns; to create some space around them; and to seek the support of a spiritual mentor, supportive friend, or therapist, as necessary, to work through all that may be uncovered during this time period.
By bringing these narratives to the surface, you have a profound opportunity to step beyond the old noise, stories, and beliefs; to reclaim your energy; and to realign with your true essence.
This is one reason why 2025, has the potential to be a profoundly transformative year.
Whatever arises during these transits, remember that you'll be facing it with the wisdom, perspective, and strength of the adult you've become; not as the child who experienced or witnessed these dynamics, many years ago.
Understanding the Connection Between your 1st Pinnacle and your Past Lives
If you're resistant to the notion of reincarnation, simply focus on the youth-related aspects discussed earlier. If you're interested in past lives, though, read on.
There is a link between the experiences of your youth and the core dynamics of your past lives—expressed through the landscape and events of your first 18.5 years.
Numerologically, these 18.5 years fall within your 1st Pinnacle. The Number (and Challenge) shown in this Pinnacle reflect both your youth and the greater story arc your soul has been journeying for many lifetimes.
Your past lives, your 1st Pinnacle, and your youth are intrinsically connected.
Perhaps you're 38 or 67 lifetimes into a particular story arc that hasn't been resolved yet. According to my kinesiologist, I’ve been working on the same issue for 56 lifetimes! 56 lifetimes??
I can hear the question, "Doesn't this storyline get old??"
Ahhhh, yes. Yes, it does.
But as Carl Jung wisely noted, "You have to drink your complexes to the dregs." You can't abandon the lesson halfway through. You've got to see it through to the very end.
So here you are, incarnated once again, saying, “Set 'em up, Joe!” Why? So you can continue replaying the same storyline, trying to figure this out.
Think of it like being stuck at a particular level in a computer game. Each lifetime represents another attempt to solve the same core challenge. You’ve “respawned” at the same point, replaying the scenario over and over again, trying to progress to the next checkpoint.
You're doing your soul work.
You're having another go at it, and maybe this time you'll make it through.
2025 offers you the chance to connect with these central themes of your soul journey; to identify and clear the ancient patterns that no longer serve you.
Drink these to the dregs, and move onto the next checkpoint!
Consciously engaging your soul work
History may not repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes.
I invite you to look back to the previous times we were in a 9 Universal Year (e.g. 1953, 1962, 1971, 1980, 1989, 1998, 2007, 2016 . . . and 2025). Your 1st Pinnacle was activated in each of these years.
Read back through your journals, old letters, and emails, to place yourself in time, and remember what was unfolding for you back then. Remember, it's not so much what was happening physically in your world, but how it impacted you internally that matters. Who were you becoming through these experiences?
Precedence is most certainly your friend. By reflecting on the themes and patterns that emerged across these years, you'll deepen your understanding of your 1st Pinnacle, and the soul work being asked of you.
If you are well-versed in numerology, I also encourage you to meditate directly on the themes, symbols, and significations of your 1st Pinnacle Number and Challenge Number. You could also consider where else these Numbers appear in your chart—for example, your Planes of Expression, Karmic Lessons, Heart Number, or Destiny Number.
Each placement offers additional clues about your childhood and your past life story.
Take time to contemplate the interconnected storylines running through your chart.
Consciously engaging this process will facilitate both your journey through 2025 and your broader spiritual evolution. And it will bring you into the conversation that Life, Source, or Great Mystery is trying to have with you.
In conclusion
I hope this exploration has deepened your understanding of the transformative potential of 2025, and provided context for what may be a difficult or catalysing year ahead.
Trust the process. Know that each challenge is a stepping stone toward greater self-awareness, and liberation from patterns that have bound you for lifetimes.
I'd love to hear your insights as you reflect on these themes. If this article resonates, please share it within your circles—your engagement supports both archetypal literacy in our community and my work as a numerologist.
Thank you for your company on this path. You know I'm so grateful for it!
Deepest blessings. 🙏 Peace
