1 Personal Year | May is a 6 Personal Month
🤔 Reflection for May: This is the month to focus on how you co-create in your home, family, and relationship life.
May is upon us and there’s no better time to circle back and offer a reminder about the key elements or themes you’re working with all year long in your 1 Personal Year.
I like to describe the Personal Year as knowing the theme to your party! It’s so much more fun that way!
And I think it’s valuable to think of it in exactly that way. As if you’re showing up for a party (that you happen to have to attend for an entire twelve months!), so most certainly you’d rather know if it’s a baby shower, birthday party, Bachelor (or Bachelorette) Party, Memorial service, or a drinking party with Charades.
Ah, yes. Don’t show up to the wrong party wearing the wrong outfit!
For you in your 1 Personal Year, the key themes are:Â new beginnings, developing and exerting independence, and planting seeds for a brand new cycle of time.
What I love about numerology is that it offers us the key elements that are always in play, supporting us, and offering supportive opportunities.
So, if we know the themes and energies that are available to us, then we can focus and intentionally use that supportive energy to our benefit.
Either we can use the energy OR the energy can use us!
With that said, May is a 6 Personal Month.
The 6 is all about home, family, responsibility, and relationships.
So how might this show up in your 1 Personal Year?
If you’re coupled, this is a month where you can really bask in what—and who—you love. This can be a beautiful month for recommitment or up-leveling your significant intimate partnership.
This can manifest as making date night a priority, adding some sizzle into your sex life or even deciding to do something like couples counseling or a relationship building class (or something along those lines).
If you’ve been thinking about making a significant shift in a relationship, you may want to initiate this change sometime around May 17th.
When the 6 shows up in a cycle (as it is in May for your 6 Personal Month), it pulls in opportunities and experiences that often force your hand — meaning, if a relationship hasn’t been working for you and you’ve just been holding on hoping it will get better or holding on because you’re afraid to rock the boat, often the energy of the 6 calls in something that will push that envelope.
This is equally true if you’re hovering around the decision of putting a ring on it, so to speak. The month of May might be the time where an important relationship is taken to the next level of commitment. This can be a one-on-one romantic pairing, business venture, friendship or something with family (parents, siblings, that sort of thing).
If you’re a parent, this is also a wonderful time to place some focus and energy into your kids (including grandkids or fur-babies). The energy of the 6 pulls you toward feeling the need to do some caretaking and nurturing for those you love.
If single, this is a true “up close and personal” reflective month around issues related to relationships and your home life. You can be basking in your freedom and perfectly aligned with yourself as a “successfully single” person. Not everyone who’s single is actively on the prowl for a relationship partner!
If you’re not looking for a relationship partner, the 6 energy for the month offers you added “umph” with business partnerships, friendships, and other close relationships.
If this is the case for you, the topics that might pop in this month have to do with your sense of home. Where do you feel at home? Where is your nest? How do you love and how do you want to be loved overall? This might manifest for you as moving or upgrading your living environment.
Single and ready to connect with someone? Are you ready and open to a co-creative relationship? May might brings someone into your life with strong possibilities for the future. It may involve someone you met last month or potentially someone who’s just arrived on the scene, perhaps sometime around May 5th or 9th.
I find that most often the 1 Personal Year holds special intensity around career and work. Yet the 1 Personal Year can also open doors to a new beginning with a relationship or with relationships overall. Yet usually, this happens in tandem with how you’re changing your work and career — you’re reestablishing yourself on every level during a 1 Personal Year.
If this is the case for you, know that May is the time to devote yourself to your relationship life in whatever way that’s showing up for you now.
“Home” is also a key element.
This can be across the board. Are you looking to make a move, maybe even to an entirely different geographical location? Perhaps you’re itching to dive into a remodeling product, build that new water feature in your backyard or do a massive Spring cleaning.
Maybe this shows up as finding a new living arrangement for an aging parent or grandparent. Or dealing with some other urgent or responsibility-laden issues having to do with your family.
On a more subliminal level, this can be a month where you’re asking yourself a lot of questions on an internal level. Do I feel at home in my home? In my body? Am I involved in relationships that are feeding me or draining me? Where do I need to step up and take more responsibility and where am I perhaps too responsible and need to back off and allow others to do their fair share?
This can also be a time where you’re asked to step up to the plate and offer love, support, assistance or a listening ear.
The energy related to your 1 Personal Year is pressing you to start fresh, assert your independence, and generally get somewhat cocky about standing on your own two feet.
This can be a year where you’re fairly self-absorbed. Not in a bad way, necessarily. You’re setting things up for yourself and tapping into your independence. Remember, this is the final “push” of your three-year transformation cycle that started in 2023.
I love this comment by Bruce Springsteen, who happens to be a 1 Life Path (the same “vibe” that you’re experiencing with your 1 Personal Year.)
He says: “Life is a blank white page, daring you to write on it.”
The energy of your 1 Personal Year colliding with the nurturing and loving energy of the 6 sets the stage for a beautiful and dynamic month for co-creation on every level. How can you co-create rather than blaze along solo or participate in unhealthy co-dependencies?
This is a great concept for you as you carry forward in your powerful year of new beginnings. Consider this year the rough draft to your new novel. Concentrate on Chapter 1 and the rest will follow.

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.
For those of you just starting to follow the monthly forecasts, I always share a photo of my Grand Dogs. Both of my daughter’s are proud dog Mom’s. Rio is a Pitbull mix and Oscar is a Wire-Haired Fox Terrier. ❤️
