1 Personal Year | August is a 9 Personal Month
August is a 9 Personal Month:
This is the month to release, let go, and renew. Make room for the new great thing!
Next month is a crescendo in the 1 Personal Year, where the energy of the initiating number 1 reaches full richness and intensity.
Yet, August is prep time and it’s actually a big month for you in the grand scheme of things. It’s time to wrap up and finalize certain situations or a particular phase in your life.
August is steeped in the energy of number 9, bringing closure and moments of departure for people, places, things, and situations that aren’t making the cut.
And this most likely won’t be a particularly seamless flow—you’ll need to consider an entirely different route in order to move forward into your bigger, better, expanded existence. This might come as a bit of a surprise, to be perfectly honest. You could be feeling that things are rolling along at a certain clip and then—bang-ola!—a major monkey wrench gets thrown into the mix.
It’s time for some definitive decisions and turning-of-the-corner. Perhaps you’ve finally pushed off the ledge and are making some surprising choices you could never have envisioned even a few months ago.
Maybe a new job has popped into your view-finder and it’s time to make the decision to give your current employer notice. Or maybe a new geographical move has snuck up on you and that opportunity for change is now directly on the table.
Relationship connectivity is under review and August can be an empowering time to usher in some hard conversations or major decisions that will unfold as the year comes to its conclusion. Maybe it’s finally the time where you or a partner calls it quits or at least brings some serious changes to the table.
This can show up as taking something to the next level of commitment. Perhaps it’s a “let’s move in together” convo. Or “will you marry me?” Or maybe even “we’re having a baby!”
Be prepared for strong emotional pulls around August 9th or 15th. It’ll be a great relief to feel forward movement, despite the anxiety or high-intensity emotions that might accompany all of the happenings August blows your way.
At this point in your 1 Personal Year journey you must go a bit backwards in order to move forward. Clean up the residue of any and all relationships, situations, and old stuff that keeps pulling you back into old belief patterns or patterns of identity that you now only vaguely resemble.
You may find this a good time to conclude some business relations or activities and simply focus on tying up anything on any level you see fit.
Don’t be surprised if there are matters to work out in your intimate circle, probably around August 18th.
Remember, as you expand and evolve you can’t help but outgrow certain relationships, places or roles you’ve decided no longer serve you.
Polarity and opposition are key themes for you this month. Contrast is at play for you right now and while it may sound easy to say we can’t have light without dark or good without bad, walking through the experience that brings you into dealing with the contrast is an entirely different story, right?
Can you see how to balance and hold what appears to be two diametrically opposed ideas/stances/viewpoints? And allow them to not only co-exist, but also to feed and nurture each other into a stronger and more complete and compatible whole?
August is a time for endings, conclusions, and for opening up space for something entirely new starting in September. You’re at a reinvention point. Be brave. Courage and risk-taking pay off right now.
Just remember that this is the last push of your amazing three-year transition cycle! You’re doing it! You’re heading into an apex in your year of new beginnings.
**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.
