In numerology, Personal Years are very important. Especially when we want to “predict” certain personal events in our lives. Just to refresh your memory; a Personal Year is a year that is personal to each individual walking on this planet and describes the general period of influence, along with the events (including opportunities, challenges, and obstacles) that a person might experience on a physical level. These events pertain to different aspects of life, e.g., career, family, home, finances, business, relationships, health, travel, etc. The period of influence lasts an entire calendar year and thus runs from January 1st until December 31st. A Personal Year can even be broken down into monthly and daily cycles, aka Personal Months and Personal Days. Both monthly and daily cycles have their own numerical and planetary influence within a Personal Year. To calculate your Personal Month or Personal Day number, you would need your date of birth. Similar to that of a Personal Year. I will share some example calculations towards the end of this post.

With that said, knowing the numbers of all three personal cycles (Year, Month, Day) can help you navigate the year more precisely and even more smoothly. But which of the three numerical cycles is more important or has the biggest influence? Is it your Personal Year, Personal Month, or Personal Day number? I’d say each personal cycle holds its own importance, one more than the other. I feel it is up to you to decide, based on your own experiences and observations, which one of the three has the biggest influence on your personal life. From my personal experience, I can say that the Personal Year has the biggest influence, followed by the Personal Month. The Personal Day has less of an influence, but it can be helpful when you need some Divine guidance in planning your daily activities. However, just don’t let it be the ultimate deciding factor, especially when you have to make some important decisions in your life. At the end of the day, you should always do what you feel is right.

Apart from the three aforementioned personal cycles, there are also two other transit cycles that I’d like to share. These are the so-called Essences (or Essence Cycle) and, what I like to call, the ‘Triannual’ Cycle; it namely represents a transit period of 3 x 4 months, i.e. its cycle changes every four months within a year. Both the Essences and Triannual cycles represent the energies that one can feel on a mental and emotional level. Unlike the Personal Year cycle, the transit period of the Essences and ‘Triannual’ Cycle runs from birthday to birthday. Their calculations are somewhat complex because it requires the numerical value of the letters of your full name. On a personal note, I don’t find these transits much of an importance, similar to the Personal Day cycle. Well, let’s just say that I could live without knowing much about them, but it is always nice to know that they exist. So I’m not going into the details of their calculations. Because there are some pretty good numerology software tools online, which can do these calculations for you, but that aside. What I’d like to point out is that there is actually no good or right answer in terms of numerological transit cycles with the most or least influence. Similar to astrology, where one may find that the planetary transits affect their Moon sign more strongly than their Ascendant sign or vice versa. Everyone has their own preference. But based on my observations, we can put the order of influence and importance as follows (from most to least): Personal Year, Personal Month, Essence Cycle, Triannual Cycle, Personal Day.

Calculation of the Personal Year, Personal Month, and Personal Day number

Now, let’s have a look at some example calculations pertaining to your Personal Year, Personal Month, and Personal Day, so you can make the best out of your daily, monthly, and yearly cycles. Honestly, these are some of the easiest calculations in numerology, of which I think the Personal Years and Personal Months are the most important in terms of “predicting” certain events in our human lives. Simply because their results affect you more on a physical level rather than on a psychological level; i.e. you can see the result of your manifestation.

How to calculate the Personal Year?

To calculate your Personal Year number, use the following formula:

Day of birth + Month of birth + Universal Year  = Personal Year

Example birthday: 5 March

Example calendar year: 2021

First, calculate the Universal Year number for the year 2021.

2 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 5  Universal Year

Then, calculate the Personal Year number as follows:

5 (Day) + 3 (March) + 5 (Universal Year) = 13

Continue to add and reduce until you have a single digit between 1 and 9.

1 + 3 = 4 Personal Year

 

How to calculate the Personal Month?

To calculate your Personal Month number, use the following formula:

Personal Year + Month number = Personal Month

For example, if you are in a Personal Year 4, and the current month is October (which is the 10th month), then the calculation will be as follows:

4 + 1 + 0 = 5 Personal Month

Another example; If you are in a Personal Year 6, and the current month is July (the 7th month), then the calculation will be as follows:

6 + 7 = 13

Continue to add and reduce until you have a single-digit between 1 and 9.

1 + 3 = 4 Personal Month

 

How to calculate the Personal Day?

To calculate your Personal Day number, use the following formula:

Day number + Personal Month  = Personal Day

For example, if today is the 11th, and you are in a Personal Month 5, then the calculation will be as follows:

1 + 1 + 5 = 7 Personal Day

Another example; if today is the 5th of any month, and you are in a Personal Month 9, then the calculation will be as follows:

5 + 9 = 14

Continue to add and reduce until you have a single-digit between 1 and 9.

1 + 4 = 5 Personal Day

 

That’s it! This is how you calculate your Personal Year, Personal Month, and Personal Day number.

In case you don’t want to calculate your Personal Month manually, then you can always refer to the table below, which illustrates the monthly numbers for each Personal Year.

Based on the table above, here are 4 interesting facts to keep in mind:

  • The monthly numbers within each Personal Year never change. For example, June will always be a Personal Month 7 in a Personal Year 1. And May will always remain a Personal Month 8 in a Personal Year 3.
  • The first two months (January and February) of every new Personal Year always carry the same number as the last two months (November and December) of the old Personal Year. For example, in a Personal Year 6, the month January carries the energy of the number 7 (influenced by Ketu), and February carries the energies of the number 8 (influenced by Saturn). We can see those same numbers in the previous Personal Year 5 for the months of November and December.
  • In the last week of each Personal month, you can always feel the new energies of the new month coming in. Similar to the transition period between Personal Years. For example, if you find yourself in the month of April (a Personal Month 4 -ruled by Rahu) in a Personal Year 9, then pay careful attention to your feelings, state of mind, or the things that take place during the final week of the month. As these may provide you with some insights for the events that might take place in the following month, which is May, a Personal Month 5 (ruled by Mercury)
  • The month of September always has the same number as the Personal Year you are in. For example, if you are in a Personal Year 7 (ruled by Ketu), then September will always be a 7 Personal Month for you. And if you are in a Personal Year 2 (ruled by the Moon), then September will be a 2 Personal Month. The energies during the month of September can therefore be quite intense. Things can become even more intense when you are in a Universal Year of the same number. During the month of September, you may often feel and see how everything you have experienced throughout the year, over the past nine months, may suddenly get illuminated now. Things may go haywire, come to a culmination or flourish like never before.

As you can see, there is always a repeating numerical pattern with a planetary influence, no matter where you are in your life cycle.

As always, thanks for your reading!
