2 Personal Year | August is a 1 Personal Month
August is a 1 Personal Month:
This is the month to be ready for something new and important to begin.
Next month is a crescendo in the 2 or 11/2 Personal Year, where the energy of the initiating number 1 reaches full richness and intensity.
Meanwhile, August promises to be an enlightening month for you, because you’re being called upon to start something new, be bold, and make your of independence a priority right now.
You’re working with the initiating energy of the 1 in August. It might feel a bit strange to navigate this forward-moving vibe with the slow and patience-building energy of your 2 Personal Year.
Yet one of the keys for the month is in galvanizing and clarifying your values and seeing who you really are, what you ultimately stand for, and what you truly want. This is a key feature and overall lesson of the 2 Personal Year, so this won’t really come as a surprise.
Yet what will come as a surprise is that you now have a new burst of energy that actually allows you to move forward rather than hovering around or running in place.
It’s a month where success comes to those who act, not those who wait. Even though the 2 Personal Year is a waiting game (more or less) all year long!
Steve Jobs had a 1 Life Path (the energy of the 1 being the energy for August) and one of the things he touted as a key feature of successful people is their ability to ask. Ask for support. Seek information. Delegate duties. That sort of thing. Use that directive as your driver for August.
The patience and wisdom you’ve gleaned so far this year—if you’ve been in the groove—has altered your perspective about your place in the world, within your relationships, and within your work life.
You’re potentially more calm, self-reliant, and perhaps even more efficient than you’ve been in the past. Have you been able to develop a core sense of peace even in the midst of chaos? That’s one of the core lessons of the number 2.
August brings with it a new sense of vitality and forward movement where you’ve felt delays and “three steps forward, five steps back” all year long.
Around August 4th, prepare yourself for dynamic lunges forward in areas where you haven’t been able to make much headway since the start of your 2 Personal Year.
On August 9th or 22nd, there are some completely new possibilities developing.
Open yourself to possibility and lean into some glimmering potentials. This can be in any aspect of your life that is up front and priority for you right now, yet with the energy of the 2 Personal Year, partnerships and relationships are highlighted.
Could you be moving forward with a more intimate connection in your romantic life? Can there be new life and depth added to your current relationship? Is a business partnership blooming or strengthening? Does a relationship need to be phased out?
Know that there are still delays throughout the next few months, yet they’re likely to be shorter in duration.
This year holds a lesson—to slow down, have patience, see others’ points of view, and potentially experience other people (and yourself)— in a new way. Not to mention cultivating an attitude of gratitude about some of the things you may have begun to take for granted.
Some new friends with considerable business know-how may prove helpful, especially around August 27th.
Taking initiative is key to success in August.
The paradox for you in August is that right now you must take the lead, take decisive action, and focus on initiating things rather than hanging out and waiting.
This month is an open door, a new beginning. You’ll be presented with opportunities to stand up for yourself and clarify those newly-defined personal boundaries you’ve been working with all year long. Have trust that there are a lot of things happening under the radar or behind the scenes—things that you can’t even imagine quote yet.
Master 11/2 Personal Year
If you’re in your 11/2 Personal Year, you might not experience such a slow down after all. That double 1 can actually bring new starts in at break-neck speed during an 11/2 Personal Year. Yet there will still be delays. It can feel edgy.
The potential benefits are enormous yet it can feel like a jolt of lightning being zapped into a vat of tar—a bit of an electrifying mess!
Along with it being a slower, relationship-oriented and emotional year, you’ll be presented with opportunities to learn deeply personal spiritual lessons. This can manifest in every way imaginable—from coping with crisis to embracing massive success.
If you’re experiencing an 11/2 Personal Year, August will feel freeing and invigorating! You’ll be able to let the 2 energy “rest” and bring out the double-1s! It’s a month to actively use this energy to move things forward, to initiate new projects or anything else that’s beginning to take shape. Focus on those aspects and you’ll soar to new, unimaginable heights.
**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.
