In numerology, there is a 9-year cycle, which operates independently of any other periodic cycles in a person’s life.
This cycle begins for each individual with their Personal Year, the number of which corresponds to the Life Path Number — calculated as Day + Month + Year of birth.
Each year, the Personal Year number increases by one, until it reaches 9.
After that, the 9-year cycle repeats starting again from 1.
Each Personal Year brings its own vibrations into a person’s life. Knowing the characteristics of each Personal Year allows you to better adjust your plans.
You will also understand why some of your projects did not materialize immediately, but only after several years. Because everything has its time — a time to marry, and a time to start your business. A time to accumulate money, and a time to spend it.
Calculating the Personal Year
Add together your day and month of birth, along with the year of interest, reducing all digits to a single number from 1 to 9.
Example 1: Date of birth 26.5.1967, Year of interest 2015
26.5.2015 = 2+6+5+2+0+1+5 = 21 = 2+1 = 3 — the Personal Year number for a person born on this date
Characteristics of each Personal Year
1 . Sun. Everything is just beginning! Last year, you completed a certain cycle in your life. You said goodbye to something or someone, let go of certain things. Now you are moving forward with renewed energy and fresh thoughts about your future. This year is for new beginnings. It is favorable to buy real estate, expand your business, begin studying, get married — in general, lay the foundation for future activities.
2. Moon. This year brings a brief rest between the active 1st and vibrant 3rd Personal Years. It is advisable to focus on your emotions, relationships, family matters, friendships, and home. Try to resolve all complicated issues gently and diplomatically. Avoid forceful approaches, as this will only spoil things. The 2nd Personal Year is favorable for romantic encounters and pleasant socializing. There is a certain uncertainty and duality in your position, which means you should avoid revealing your inner self or business ideas too openly. This year, you may suffer a strong emotional wound due to inappropriate actions by a partner, either in family or business matters.
3. Mars. This Personal Year supports open and expressive behavior. You want to be bright and recognized — now is the perfect time. The year favors creative self-expression and realizing your potential. You will want to shine and create. You become attractive, lovable, and inspiring! One piece of advice — choose one important theme for the year, focus on it, and develop it. If you try to do everything at once, you will end up achieving only a little in each area. It is better to do one thing, but do it well.
4. Mercury. This year, you may feel the desire to renovate or buy real estate. Manage your energy wisely. Overcoming the challenges life presents will require persistence, endurance, and a carefully planned strategy. Success in your endeavors will come only to those who can accept new ideas and unconventional approaches. Communicate more with friends and family — timely advice can protect you from serious troubles. It is beneficial to pay attention to your health.
5. Jupiter. If last year’s advice was to act steadily and methodically, this Personal Year will require quick responses in resolving various matters. There is a high likelihood of situations involving changes in occupation or place of residence. You will have to make choices — and quickly. Listen to your intuition. Travel and trips are possible — stay open to new acquaintances and fresh experiences. A good year for learning and seeking new opportunities.
6. Venus. This is a year of harmony, family, and money. Try to improve relationships with family members, superiors, and coworkers. Hostility this year may lead to serious consequences. It is better to maintain peace and love. Enjoy nature and spending time with family. Attend theatrical events and exhibitions. Take pleasure in beauty. A favorable year for income and earnings.
7. Saturn. Focus on your soul, cleanse it of unnecessary thoughts. This year may bring insights and a reevaluation of your life. It is important to show willpower and determination in your affairs, while also remembering spiritual and higher values. Your self-sufficiency and restraint may temporarily push away friends and family — they may perceive you as gloomy, secretive, and withdrawn. No significant changes in love life are expected. If you are single, do not expect promising romantic relationships this year. Use this quiet period to work on your personal flaws. Also, pay attention to your health — this year carries an increased risk of chronic illness flare-ups.
8 . Uranus. A tendency toward experimentation and original thinking will help you gain many benefits from life. This year marks a fruitful period for those who are not bound by conservatism and are open to new knowledge. You may pursue additional education, attend masterclasses, or improve your qualifications. You will grasp all new information almost instantly.
9. Neptune. The year marking the completion of the 9-year cycle. It is meant for finishing and reflecting on what has been done and how. A time for deep understanding, which can be achieved through esoteric knowledge. This year, it is best to repay all debts, complete long-pending tasks, end unnecessary relationships, and generally let go of everything that is no longer needed. A long journey to see the world and meet new people is highly recommended. Do not forget the necessity of rest — meditative practices and yoga will be helpful. It is important to accept life’s circumstances with great patience. Postpone all major purchases until next year. Real estate transactions will be especially risky.
If you possess astrological knowledge, remember to consider the position (by house, rulership, and aspects) of the Planet of the Year in your individual horoscope.
