What Is a Personal Year?
Your Personal Year Number reveals the theme or energy of any given calendar year for you. It changes every January 1st and cycles through numbers 1-9 (plus 11 and 22).
How to Calculate
Add your birth month + birth day + current year, then reduce:
Example: March 15 in 2026
Month: 3
Day: 1 + 5 = 6
Year: 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10 → 1
Total: 3 + 6 + 1 = 10 → 1 (Personal Year 1)
Personal Year Meanings
| Year | Theme | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | New beginnings | Start fresh, take initiative |
| 2 | Patience, partnership | Cooperate, wait, build relationships |
| 3 | Creativity, self-expression | Socialize, create, enjoy |
| 4 | Foundation, hard work | Build systems, be disciplined |
| 5 | Change, freedom | Embrace the unexpected |
| 6 | Responsibility, home | Family, service, domestic matters |
| 7 | Inner work, reflection | Study, meditate, analyze |
| 8 | Power, money | Career advancement, financial gains |
| 9 | Completion, release | Let go, forgive, finish projects |
Knowing your Personal Year helps you work WITH the energy instead of against it. Trying to start something new in a Year 7 when you should be reflecting? That's why things feel hard.
