2 Personal Year | January is a 3 Personal Month
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥳
Last year, I focused the Monthly Forecasts by sharing your DIRECTIVE for the month.
I alway intuitively feel out what I feel the key container might be for the year and for 2025, I’m going to focus the monthly forecasts by offering a REFLECTION to frame the energy of the month.
Why? Because 2025 is a 9 Universal Year (find out more about the 9 Universal Year and how it interacts with your Life Path here).
The 9 Universal Year is the end of a global cycle of time. The Universal Year indicates what we’re all experiencing as a global community.
This is a year of emotional and transformational endings, conclusions, and letting go of the old to make room for the new. The 9 is also calls for a spiritual awakening. It’s the number of humanitarianism and of universal wisdom. These are the focal points for 2025.
And it won’t be an easy or comfortable journey!
With that said, I want to avoid any confusion you might have regarding your Personal Year and how it moves from year to year.
First of all, there are two basic 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.
Therefore, if you experienced a 1 Personal Year last year, December was a 4 Personal MONTH.
Then January rolls around and you shift to your 2 Personal Year.
In the 2 Personal Year, January is a 3 Personal Month (we add the 2 Personal Year + the number of the month [January = 1] which is 3).
So you’re experiencing the same vibe that you did two months ago, in November.
The second mode of thought is that the Personal Year runs from birthday to birthday, somewhat like a Solar Return in Astrology.
I acknowledge that there are people who will fiercely assert that the birthday-to-birthday method is the only method.
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.
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.
🤔 Reflection for January: This is a month to get the party started! Lots of creative, fun, social, and expressive energy invites you to start your New Year with a realistic self-improvement project.
It’s been a huge three-year transition cycle starting with the financial and personal empowerment of your 8 Personal Year (2022), the surrender and transformation of the 9 Personal Year (2023), and then the active and initiating energy of your 1 Personal Year last year in 2024.
After all of those shenanigans, this is a year devoted to the development of patience with a capital “P.” This is a year not to push and push and push. Allow. Flow. Take your time.
If last year was designed as Boot Camp for standing on your own two feet, this year is Boot Camp for getting clear about who you are on a soul level. This is time to define yourself from the inside out, rather than from the outside in.
Prepare yourself for moving in slower motion or feeling as though you just might be living in suspended animation. It can feel like two steps forward, three steps back (and back and forth) throughout the year. I often dub the 2 Personal Year the “Tar-Walking” Year!
The number 2 of your Personal Year demands that you allow for right timing and begs you not to get frustrated when your own agenda is delayed or thwarted.
It’s also a year where you’ll feel much more sensitive on every level, especially on the emotional realm.
Now that you’re moving in a new direction that you set into motion last year, it’s time to get to know the new and revised you that’s now being called upon to show up at the table.
Emotions and the way you engage in relationships are key players this year.
If you’re ready to call in “the one,” the key will be to step into some healthy and stronger emotional and energetic boundaries. And if you’re in a relationship that could use a bit of a tune-up, this is your year! It’s all about tuning into yourself and tuning into other people in your circle. If there’s ever a year to whip out your copy of Codependent No More (the classic book by Melody Beattie), this is it!
The key focal point of your experience this year will be in drawing in experiences that test your sense of delineating your personal boundaries and also getting to know who you really are under all conditions and all situations.
Do you need to learn how to say “no” when you mean no and “yes” when you mean yes? What are your core values? How do you think and behave when no one’s watching? Are your beliefs actually your beliefs or are you still operating on some very old and outdated programming?
One of the lessons of the number 2 is to not allow yourself to be ruled or overtaken by undisciplined emotions. You’ll be offered experiences inviting you to step into your sense of self and your sense of self-worth while approaching things with diplomacy — and not be a doormat or a punching bag in the process. Or alternately, not be so self-focused that you don’t take others into consideration.
January is guided by the energy of the buoyant and creative number 3. This is a month where fun, creativity, and communication are highlighted. It’s a month focused on self-improvement on whatever level you choose.
The energy of the number 3 supports all things in the self-improvement department, including a make-over, buying a few new items for your wardrobe, or anything else that can get your physical body into tip-top shape.
Around January 17th or 18th, some of your friends or colleagues may be able to help by making important introductions — these can be work related or social. Offer some help to appreciative colleagues or associates with anything work related, particularly on or about January 26th.
The 3 supports getting out and being social, having fun, and perhaps taking a moment for some much-needed travel and just taking a moment to live a little!
The 3 also supports expression on all realms. Therapy, anyone? Energy work? Journaling? Past-Life regression? Breath work?Whatever helps you move it all up and out (without doing a lot of collateral damage) is what January is all about.
If you’re experiencing the Master 11/2 Personal Year, while you’ll develop patience by navigating slow-downs and delays, chances are that the pace can be pretty intense.
Think about last year, then double it. The 11 shows up rather like a double 1. No matter what, you must find patience and mitigate conflict in the midst of what might be heightened stakes — or intense circumstances of one kind or another.
With the 11/2 Personal Year, emotions will still be front and center while you’re also engaging with the energy of the double 1, bringing a push toward that same independence and drive you needed to embody last year.
The Master 11/2 Personal Year can be a truly magical time full of spiritual growth and intuitive insights, yet it’s not without its edgy intensity.
CONTEMPLATIVE THOUGHT FOR JANUARY:
It’s time to step away and get some distance. See how your family (your religion, culture, etc) shaped you. Feel into that shape.
Now ask yourself if you like that shape? If not, what shape would you prefer? If you don’t like your shape or want to change or improve upon it in any way, 2025 is the time to remold your shape into what YOU want it to be. The 9 Universal Year supports all shedding, reshaping, endings, conclusions, and spiritual awakenings.
