3 Personal Year | December is a 6 Personal Month
🤔 End of Year Reflection for December: Take time to acknowledge how everything you’ve experienced in your 3 Personal Year has expanded you emotionally and creatively. Did you get to know yourself and your internal workings on a more intimate level this year? Please tell me you’ve been out socializing, communicating like a pro, and getting real with your emotions.

Whether you subscribe to the Personal Year being the calendar year or whether you feel that it runs birthday-to-birthday, as we near the end of the year, December brings with it some intensity surrounding family and home. Yes, I know it’s the holidays and that’s often the case across the board.
Yet for you, this will be an extra home-centered time where you’ll feel added responsibilities and duties surrounding your family obligations. It can also bring up issues of pain or lack that you feel about your family. Many people have difficulties during the holidays that bring up feelings of loss, trauma, and other emotions that stem from family dynamics.
Alternately, this can be a joyful and close time, full of contentment and gratitude — I can just feel that halo of holiday cheer in its most positive form! It can be a month where you get a lot of joy out of some creative projects or by commandeering some social events or get-togethers. Getting the kids or friends into the car for some drive-by Christmas light tours or enjoying an exciting family tradition can be in the mix.
Given that the 6 arrives at the end of your 3 Personal Year, this can also bring up questions around where you’re living. When the 6 shows up (as it does for you this month), it brings in questions and experiences related to your home. Do you feel “at home?” If not, this is a month where that issue might come up to the surface more directly.
If you’re feeling adrift regarding your home life, this month can galvanize and prioritize this aspect of your life to a point where you feel propelled to make some decisions or changes in your home life.
This can show up as buying or selling a home, moving into a new apartment, or even moving geographically. Or let’s say this comes into play in a less dramatic way, as painting your home office, cleaning out the basement, or committing to a Feng Shui sweep of your home.
The energy of the number 6 is all about giving and service—anything in this realm will be very much in alignment for you this month.
December is a heightened time to focus on home, family, and children. Perhaps you surprise your staff or employees with a special party or offer them some appreciation that’s heart-felt and more personalized than usual.
If kids and that kind of extended family aren’t in the mix for you, then this can be a “warm and fuzzy” time where you nurture yourself and whatever close relationships you have with added devotion—be those friends, family, the fur-babies or any other variation.
And let’s face it. We’re experiencing a period of time that’s rather unprecedented in terms of changes and uncertainty. So the backdrop we’re all working with holds a powerful sense of urgency.
As you leave your 3 Personal Year and enter into your 4 or 22/4 Personal Year, take some time to consider the locus of your self-improvement this year. What did you focus on? What were your over-arching intentions?
Did you finish writing your book or get that recording contract? Did you improve your relationships with better communication or did you end a relationship because of a lack of authenticity?
Perhaps you have a new personal look through weight loss, new hairstyle, or wardrobe upgrade.
Have you made decisions about how to improve your business or work situation? Maybe you’re reeling from the many emotional triggers that challenged you throughout the year.
Or perhaps you blazed through the year and didn’t give yourself the time or energy to tap into a lighter sense of things. If that’s the case, you might be reeling with exhaustion or depression right about now.
The upcoming year is the time for getting real in multiple ways. This shakes out with whatever thematic your working with at this point in your life. It’s a time where you’ll be investigating your sense of home and security—and that can manifest as moving, building a home, or even beginning to investigate where you truly want to call home.
It’s a time devoted to getting serious about yourself and your future—and not only your future, but also your now. What needs focus, management, and organization in order to move in the direction you would like it to move toward?
The key is to know that the energy of the upcoming year is not a sprinting energy. It’s not fast paced. It’s not immediate. The energy of the 4 is slow, deliberate, and demands concerted effort and a certain level of tenacity to get things accomplished.
In 2026, it demands that you investigate the foundations in your life and come up with a longer-range plan. It’s all about the process and sticking with it.
Also know that the energy of the number 4 governs health and one of the great lessons of the 4 is about learning how to get the work done and also schedule time for lighter activity, true relaxation, and instituting healthy practices across the board.
Also be aware that this upcoming year is also meant to be the year where you implement some of those more substantial creative projects you’ve been working on this year!.Now that the creation-time is mostly wrapped up. the upcoming year ushers in the supportive energy for implementation, marketing, and creating the systems needed to put your creative work out into the world.
Chances are you’re feeling this pull toward battening down the hatches and getting your life in line! You have all the support you need from the hard-working and results-oriented 4 or 22/4 throughout the entire year of 2026.

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, and Penny the puppy. ❤️
