1 Personal Year | March is a 4 Personal Month
🤔 Reflection for March: How can you find ways to buckle down and put in the effort — trusting it’ll pay off in a big way!
March is a number 4 Personal Month for those of you experiencing a 1 Personal Year. The month of March offers the tenacious and practical energy of the number 4. What does that mean? It means that this is the time to pull up those boot straps and dig in. It’s a more serious month demanding that you take yourself, your wants and needs, and your desires seriously.
This is all about the effort — the more you opt to do something constructive this month (rather than just ponder or procrastinate), the more you’ll be supported with solid and expansive outcomes.
Another aspect of the energy of the number 4 that you can take advantage of this month is that the 4 offers a supportive energy to learn something new or expand your knowledge base with something you’re already jazzed about. This is a perfect month to take a class, read a few books or even teach something you have expertise in to others.
When you experience a cycle guided by the number 4, know that you’ll also be met with some opportunities to work with some old family issues in a new way—with potential for some deep healing. This can extend to ancestral healing as well. Yet, for this to transpire, there will be some sort of event or exchange that will be the catalyst provoking a new and immediate necessity to deal differently with the issue at hand.
Overall, March is earmarked to getting your ducks in a row through some tip-top management, supervision, and organization.
Be prepared to negotiate some contracts or agreements sometime around March 13th or 15th, but remember to be as flexible as possible.
Be aware that the 1 Personal Year is a year to be healthy-selfish; to focus on your SELF and your own individual wants, needs, desires, and dreams. This is the year where you put yourself first, ahead of your perceived wants of your family, significant other, friends, and all the rest of the peanut gallery.
What do YOU want? Who are YOU? How do you take command and take action to move in a forward direction with what YOU truly, madly, and deeply want in your life, right here and right now?
Also understand that the energy related to the 4 (the energy you’re immersed in for these four weeks in March) can usher in some feelings of limitation that can feel overwhelming or stultifying. You can turn even the smallest glitch, challenge or issue into a monster whose sole mission is to devour you alive.
When things feel heavy and you feel a sense of exhaustion or exasperation, that’s your cue to find a way to find humor or to laugh at yourself. Find the lightness in all of the effort that you’ll be expending all month long. The key is to pace yourself.
Around March 28th, expect a significant lightening of the workload you’ve been carrying — yay! This can be due to the completion of a project or a release of some kind of commitment or engagement.
As you continue to situate yourself into your year of new beginnings and fresh starts, March is the month to get serious and to force yourself to get clear about what you want.
The key features for the month are organization, management, and clearly defined benchmarks. And don’t expect to skip steps and still get to where you want to be. Â
Also know that your serious, foundations-setting, focus on longer-terms goals month can also present a bit differently. Perhaps you’re seeking a new beginning (1 Personal Year) in terms of moving geographically. This might be the month where you’re traveling (instead of staying put) as you feel out potential spots you might want to call home.
That’s just one example of how the 4 might show up a bit more unexpectedly for you as you’re ramping into your new Personal Year Cycle.
The 1 Personal Year places you in the final throes of a major three-year transition. And it’s not over yet! Keep readjusting yourself as new and exciting things are revealed to you. This is the month to lock a few things down and get serious about yourself and what you want to ignite during this powerful year of new beginnings.
CONTEMPLATIVE THOUGHT FOR MARCH:
It feels downright wrong not to mention all of the Astrology that’s happening right now! On February 28, 2025 SEVEN PLANETS fell into alignment, which is, well, it’s a big deal!
See what my colleagues and Astrology experts The AstroTwins have to say about it!
March itself is a wild and dynamic month of Mercury in Retrograde from March 15 to April 7 , not to mention two eclipses. And I’m sure there are other aspects that I’m not mentioning here, and yet you get the picture.
There’s A LOT of cosmic energies being shaken (or stirred!) up in March! So just understand that all of us will benefit from going and flowing right now. Release expectations (remember the 9 Universal Year!) and be open to possibility.

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:Â 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.
