From the moment of your birth, there have been ongoing personal cycles that influence and shape your life – whether you are aware of them or not. By understanding the meaning and timing of your Personal Year, you’ll have a powerful tool with which you can shape your own future and elevate your life.
What are Personal Year?
Personal Year
In numerology, there is a nine-year cycle, each containing a distinct phase with its own experiences and lessons. To find out the unique energetic influence for you this year, let’s begin the calculation:
Add your birth month + birth day + the current year.
As an example: my birthday is January 5 and today is the year 2024.
1 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 2+ 4 = 14
1 + 4 = 5
So, the year 2024 is a Personal Year 5 for me.
Keep in mind that “year” for you means from the day of your birthday until next year’s birthday, NOT the calendar year of January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, as an example.
Alright, now it’s time for you to calculate yours. Now that you have your personal year number for this year. What does this mean for you? What can you do starting today to better align with the purpose of this year’s cycle?
Each year carries an energy of what lessons and themes you can expect to focus on this year. Click on your personal year below to read more.
