What is a Personal Year?
Your Personal Year Cycle is a nine-year cycle. Every year in numerology forms part of an intricate tapestry that makes up this nine-year cycle, which starts from year one and ends at year nine. Your Personal Year Number is dependent on where you are in your cycle. When year nine is complete, the cycle begins again. When you start to understand the defining characteristics that each number (between 1 -9) represents, you can begin to apply the core aspects of these numbers as they show up, including the cycles that you experience.
The Personal Year Cycle runs from January 1 to December 31. Understanding the number of the Personal Year that you’re currently in, provides you with a lovely snapshot of the activities that might come up for you, enabling you to respond with the primary energy of that specific number. This is a great way to cut corners when making decisions, making for an easier, happier, and more productive life.
More specifically, your Personal Year Number gives you a glimpse of the overarching theme of the specific year you’re in. One of the advantages to knowing where you are in your Personal Year Cycle is that you’re able to go with the flow of the energy of the year, instead of feeling as if you’re swimming upstream. It’s also a fantastic way to dig deeper into the theme of the year, so you can have a better understanding of why things are unfolding the way they are!
