5 Personal Year | October is a 6 Personal Month
October is a 6 Personal Month:
This is the month to ground, center, and stabilize yourself. Devote yourself to home-based responsibilities and on nurturing your relationships.
October is a cycle where you’ll feel the call of some additional home and family related responsibilities. There may even be an urgency or emergency that’ll elicit your presence right now and call upon you to offer support or your nurturing touch.
Or perhaps nothing so alarming as an emergency, just a request to focus a bit more on your home environment in whatever way that manifests for you.
This year has been a roller-coaster ride of changes, interesting and engaging opportunities, and (hopefully) a bit of fun along the way. The focus for you this month is on tending to relationships and stepping up to your duties and responsibilities.
You may feel a tug-o-war between wanting to continue to play—the energy of the 5 that you’ve been privy to all year long—and a call to put your own needs aside for a moment and nurture those in your intimate circle.
Love is the theme for October (I can hear the refrain from the Beatles wafting into your space right now… Love, Love, Love … love is all you need …) and the lesson is that love comes in many forms and multiple manifestations.
While the energy of the 6 supports all things domestic, it’s also a teacher of acceptance. Given that this is a major theme when the 6 shows up, you can count on some experiences that provide you with opportunities to fine-tune your ability to support, not judge. To nurture, rather than enable. To carry your responsibilities, not be irresponsible or carry more than your rightful share.
Activities involving your family members and close friends are likely to bring lots of fun and perhaps a few little challenges along the way. Plan visits or interesting experiences involving children around October 5th.
Romance may also blossom this month, particularly during the week of October 14th. It’s a time to focus on relationships across the board—especially with people you consider family.
Sometimes a relationship that has been developing all year long can sprout some wings and take a turn into something a bit more in the “keeper” realm. Is that what’s happening for you?
The energy of your 5 Personal Year is not particularly in alignment with the cozy, lovey-dovey energy of the 6, so this can feel a bit odd this month as you balance and integrate these two disparate pathways. Yet this can also open a door that you’ve been leading to all year long if you’re someone who’s looking for love and for a committed relationship.
Overall the 5 Personal Year is a time of experimentation, experience, and exploration. There are always super-sexy opportunities when the 5 shows up, so loosen up and let your pheromones do the talking! Yet if your ultimate desire is to open yourself to a committed partnership, this month can bring you into that playing field.
Perhaps you’ve been dating a few people and this is the month where you feel more serious about one of them and ask if they want to make it exclusive—and the other person says “yes!”
Maybe it’s the month where some old family issues come up to be reviewed and dealt with that lead to some rather massive changes in how you engage with your family of origin—or any other relationship you feel strongly about.
Home life—however that manifests for you—dominates your world this month, no way around it. October is the time for the updates, repair, or any legalities that need to be tended to that you may have been putting off around the house. All in all, love is in the air and creativity thrives with a loving touch.
Note: There are two schools of thought regarding the Personal Year.
The first is that it runs from January 1 – Dec. 31 of each calendar year.
The Personal Year is derived from adding together your MONTH of birth + the DAY of birth + the CURRENT YEAR.
Therefore, the logical flow is that it takes place for the calendar year for which it is being calculated.
**Remember: If you subscribe to this mode of thought, your Personal Month RESETS and CHANGES on January 1.
The second mode of thought is that the Personal Year runs from birthday to birthday, somewhat like a Solar Return in Astrology.
If you know my work at all, you’ll know that I’m someone who simply attempts to point out the different schools of thought and then the ball is in your court. It’s up to each of us to determine method makes the most sense to us and feels right or correct.
It’s like anything else in life. People can get really adamant about the correct diet (keto? paleo? vegan? gluten-free? vegetarian? and on and on).
You can go to different doctors with the same condition and get different courses of treatment. You can study Pythagorean numerology, or subscribe more to Chaldean numerology, or other modalities.
I don’t mean to belabor it, but it might surprise you how many people contact me and leave comments insisting that their particular methodology is the only right way to do it.
If you subscribe to the birthday-to-birthday way of thinking, you calculate this way: Using your birth date, add the MONTH + DAY + YEAR OF YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY
Just know that you’ll change into a new Personal Year on your BIRTHDAY, meaning that you’ll also change which Personal Year you read for your Forecast! This mode of thinking is more confusing until you wrap your brain around it. 💥
So I just want to be clear. It’s up to YOU to determine what school of thought feels right to you. And it’s ends up being just that: HOW IT FEELS. Sit with it. Ponder it. Feel into it.
If you feel the Personal Year runs from birthday-to-birthday, you will still reference the forecast for your Personal Year, yet the flow of it is a bit more wonky. Meaning: On your birthday, it switches gears and might feel as if it’s more of a dramatic or abrupt shift.
Either way, the forecast still applies to you. Just use your own mind, body, and spirit to make the most out of the information.
