Your Personal Year Cycle

There are nine personal year numbers, which makes up a complete Epicycle. Your progress along this Epicycle can be seen very logically, from the infancy to the conclusion of that process.

The 1 personal year indicates your first steps in a new direction. The years that follow indicate your progress along this path, concluding with your 9 Personal Year, which completes the cycle.

Your Personal Year cycles are based on the Universal Year cycles and therefore run concurrent with the calendar year - from January through December. However, there are overlaps - you can find more about that further below this page.

Cycles That Affect Your Yearly Forecast

Keep in mind that your Personal Year cycle is just one part of your Yearly Forecast. There are several cycles and numbers in your chart that are equally influential, and certainly more personal and specific.

For an in-depth look at your personal forecast, we need to include your Transit and Essence cycles, as well as your long-term cycles.

Your Transit and Essence cycles are far more unique to you than the Personal Year and Personal Month cycles, not only in the patterns they produce, but their time span and other factors.

This is due to the way they are calculated; they are based on your full name at birth, as opposed to your date of birth. However, calculating those cycles is rather complex. (Of course, you can always use our Chart Calculator to learn what your cycles are.)

While you share your Personal Year cycles with 11% of the population - like a horoscope, it's rather generic - the cycles based on your name are shared with only a small fraction of that, less than 1%.

In addition, while the Personal Yearly cycles are external - meaning they reveal circumstances and events outside of you - the cycles based on your name are internal; they reveal your state of mind; where you want to go, and where you will be putting your energy.

How to Calculate Your Personal Year

Your Sun Number is the pivot point for your Personal Year, Month, and Day cycles and found by simply adding your month and day of birth and reducing that to a single digit.

For example, if you were born April 12, you add 4 (for April) and 12, is 16, and reduce that by adding 1 + 6 = 7. If you know your Sun Number- which never changes - your personal cycles are easy to calculate.

The Personal Year cycle is your Sun Number plus the calendar year.

So, if your Sun Number is 7, your Personal Year cycle for 2021 is 7 + 2021 = 2028, which reduces to 3 (2 + 2 + 8 = 12 = 1 + 2 = 3)

To find your monthly cycle, simply add the month to the Personal Year. In the case of our example, for January, that would be 3 + 1 = 4. January would be a 4 Personal Month for this person.

Fun fact: Many people get confused when they receive a Yearly Numerology Forecast and they realize that the monthly cycles follow a predictable pattern: if October is a 5 month, November will be a 6 month and December a 7 month, but then a funny thing happens: Instead of the next month, January, being an 8 month, it’s showing as 6 month.

This is due to the calculation method of your personal cycles. Read more about the irregular rhythms of personal month cycles.

WHEN DOES YOUR PERSONAL YEAR START?

There is some confusion about when exactly the Personal Year cycle starts and ends.

Personal Year cycles are influenced by Universal Year cycles, which is reflected in the way the Personal Year cycle is calculated: Add your Month of Birth, your Day of Birth, and the current calendar year together, and reduce the total to a single digit.

In other words, add your Month and Day of Birth to the calendar year - the year that runs from January through December. It is a fusion of your birth date and the calendar year. It is because of this fusion, that the Personal Year cycles run concurrent with the calendar year cycles.

But, if that is true, why do some numerologists feel that the Personal Years start at your birthday and not at the beginning of the year?

The answer is in the overlapping cusp periods.

Think of your birth day as a powerful force that pulls and guides all your cycles, including the Personal Year cycle. The force your month and day of birth bestows upon your Personal Year cycle pulls this cycle towards maturity. Just like the moon pulls the tide, your day of birth pulls your Personal Year cycle.

For example, a person born in February, has a short cusp period of perhaps one or two months at the beginning of the Personal Year cycle, reaching maturity sometime in the late part of January, which is followed by a five or six months period from January through July or August during which the Personal Year cycle is fully mature, after which the cycle slowly decreases over the next five or six months.

During the last couple of months of this period of decrease, the new cycle is already forcing its way in. See the graphic below.

Personal Month and Day cycles.

Just as we evolve through a nine-year cycle, so, too, do we experience nine-month and nine-day cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year cycle. Personal Months and Personal Days proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - the Personal Year does.

You can think of the yearly, monthly, and daily cycles as spirals within spirals, all interconnected. They widen and encompass greater sweeps of time - daily, monthly, and yearly patterns - thus becoming more profound and powerful as they grow.

Personal Months are calculated by adding the current month to your Personal Year cycle. And, just like Personal Year cycles, there is a cusp period on each end. This time, however, the cusp period is not controlled by your month of birth, but by your day of birth - in a similar fashion but on a smaller scale, as the yearly cycles.

The fact that Personal Month cycles are based on Personal Year cycles, be it January or December, is another indication the Personal Year runs from January through December. (No numerologist would start the count of your Personal Month cycles after the month of your birth.)

From Numerology Questions - a Dear Hans column:

John wants to know when the Personal Year is in place for him, because he was born at the very end of the year.

Dear Hans,

I was born December 31... Because my birthday is at the end of each year, is my new, upcoming numerology year based on that birthday's total. For example: 12+31+...=4 and that is the vibration number for the year of ....? or 12+31+2018=9 and that will be numerology vibration for 2019? And, so on?

Dr. John H.

Hi John,

Thank you for asking this question - there are quite a few people who are in the same situation - either born very early or very late in the year.

John, you are entering a bit of a grey area in numerology, and one where numerologists don’t always agree.

Allow me to explain how your Personal Year number, which I believe is what you are referring to, should be calculated.

Add the sum of your month and day of birth to the current calendar year. In your case, for 2018, that would be 12 + 31 + 2018. For the sake of consistency, we always break each unit down to a single digit first, so, its 3 + 4 + 2 = 9.

You were born on the very last day of the year, and that makes it a little complicated.

Here’s how cycles work: Your Personal Year cycle runs concurrent with the calendar year, but cycles are actually more like waves; they gradually rise, reach their pinnacle, then diminish until the next wave rises, and the force that pulls the cycle to its pinnacle is birthday.

What that means is that for someone born in June or July, the Personal Year cycle’s gradual ascending and descending is in perfect synchronicity with the calendar year. However, when you are born very early in the year, the ascending and descending is early in the calendar year – as early as February or March. If, as in your case, you are born late in the year, the ascending and descending could be as late as November and December. The pinnacle of a Personal Year cycle is controlled by the Birthday not unlike the way the moon pulls the tide.

You should also keep in mind that the process of ascending and descending still takes 12 months, so the effect of your Personal Year cycle will fee strongest at the end of the current year (the attributes of the 9 Personal Year for 2018), but remnants of it will still be felt in April and May of 2019.

Here is a graph that explains more and gives a pretty good idea when your Personal Year is felt strongest.
