Personal Year: what is the duration in Numerology?

A recurring question for anyone who comes into contact with Numerology is knowing how to calculate the Personal Year. After all, when does it start and when does it end? Is it from one birthday to another? Or from January 1st to December 31st? In Brazil, some professionals in the area have already published books and contributed to the dissemination of each of these perspectives.

At , we believe that the Personal Year begins on January 1st and runs through December 31st of each year. But it is important for you to know that other numerologists may go along different lines.

Why does the Personal Year run from January to December?

The Personal Year calculation is the sum of the Day of birth + Month of birth + Effective Year. The latter always starts on January 1st and runs until December 31st.

So, to calculate the Personal Year of someone who was born on 05/10/1985, we ignore their year of birth and add the digits of Day of Birth (10) + Month of Birth (5) + Effective Year (2020): 1 +0+5+2+0+2+2 = 12

After that, add the digits that make up 12 again so that you can arrive at the reduced number: 1+2 = 3. This means that in 2022, this person will be in Personal Year 3.

Therefore, because the calculation of the Personal Year takes into account the Current Year and not the year in which the person was born, it makes sense that this period begins and ends on January 1st and December 31st, respectively.

If we consider that the Personal Year goes from one birthday to the next, the person who was born on December 30th would only enter his Personal Year 8 (referring to 2018) on the penultimate day of each year.

Based on this reasoning, I carried out some tests with people around me and clients, whose events and experiences showed me that the Personal Year always begins on January 1st and ends on December 31st.

But I advise that instead of accepting or disagreeing with this reasoning, you simply test this theory in practice.

Redouble your attention to verify what is really being experienced – internally and externally. What can help with this observation are the Personal Quarter and Personal Month forecasts.

The details offered by these short duration cycles – which you can find in your Numerological Forecasts – are valuable information to observe the validity of the meanings of the Personal Year acting in your existential moment.

And also observe your most frequent thoughts, feelings, desires and fears, in addition to your behaviors, reactions and events in each period. This experience will be worth it. After all, practice and facts are more convincing than theories and explanations.
