Your personal year places the current year in a nine-year cycle, and this number changes every year.
The personal year is a number from 1 to 9 that places a year of your life in a nine-year cycle. It is calculated from your birth day and month, added to the year you are looking at, then reduced to a single digit. It describes a climate and a way of holding steady in it, without announcing any event.
The cycle has nine years, from 1 to 9. The 1 opens the cycle and the 2 lets what was started ripen. The 3 shows the first fruits and the 4 lays the foundations. The 5 brings movement back in the middle of the journey. The 6 turns you toward those close to you, the 7 invites you to withdraw and the 8 moves into action. The 9 closes it all, then the 1 returns and a new cycle begins. One reading sees a curve: a big peak between the 9 and the 1, a small one around the 6, and two dips at 4 and 7 that serve to consolidate.
The universal year is the calendar year reduced to a single digit: 2026 gives 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10, so 1. It applies to everyone, from January 1 to December 31, like a shared weather. Your personal year takes up this climate and adapts it with your birth day and month. If the two numbers agree, you move with the current, and if they differ, you work it out as you go. When your birth day and month, put together, reduce to 9, the two numbers are the same every year.
The personal month cuts the personal year into twelve slices, each with its own color. To find it, add the rank of the month to your personal year. In a year 4, February gives 4 + 2 = 6, March gives 7, and so on up to 9 in May, then the count starts again at 1 in June. For October, November and December, you reduce the rank first: 10, 11 and 12 count as 1, 2 and 3, so October gives 5 in a year 4. This number describes the climate of about four weeks and is read together with the year that carries it.
Write down your birth day and month, then the year you want to look at, with all four digits. Add up all the digits. If the total has two digits, add them again, until only one is left, from 1 to 9. Here you always reduce all the way, even when an 11 or a 22 shows up along the way. Change the year and you get the matching personal year. The number moves up one step each year, and after the 9 it starts again at 1.
