3 Personal Year | October is a 4 Personal Month
October is a 4 Personal Month:
This is the month to get organized and tend to the root system of your life. The focus is on the implementation of some of the creative endeavors you’ve been working on. It’s time to get organized.
The energy of the 4 (the vibe for your month) is all about structure and calls for some endurance and a “get it done” attitude. You’ll need to focus on formulating and activating some systems of management in your life, whether it’s with your work or personal life—or most likely—both.
October supports you in making practical tweaks in your routine.
Be open to some practical and logistical changes in your day-to-day life that will ultimately make things oh-so much easier. It’s just a matter of actually setting aside the time and focus to do it.
Oh, the 3 Personal Year! Have you opened yourself up emotionally? Have you been taking the opportunities presented to you to speak your truth and also hear what others have to say?
The 3 Personal Year is such a creative hot-bed for expansion, having some fun, and really engaging yourself on different levels and with new subject matter. Yet it’s also a time where we get to see where the weaker links are in the ways we choose to communicate and come to the emotional table.
I also want to say this out loud. If you’re feeling slightly blue or have dipped in and out of depression or “low energy” this year, please know that this is part of the energy of the number 3. If this is part of your experience, don’t be shy or ashamed to reach out for support and seek some help to bridge you through whatever emotional intensities you may be experiencing. You’re not weak or “too sensitive.”
When in doubt, reach out! Don’t try to go it alone.
October points out to you what’s standing between you and what you actually want in a real and tangible way.
Understand that you’ll experience some slow-downs this month and perhaps some frustrations.
There can be times when you wonder why-why-why this little thing is so hard right now. And yet, it is. The point is to allow you the opportunity to do it thoroughly and using the longer-view. Don’t let obstacles derail you right now.
Yet take note of how you deal with the stumbling blocks, because this is more important than the obstacles or issues themselves. The energy of the number 4 often produces a few limitations or restrictions that demand your patience, attention, and for you to follow some (often irritating) step-by-step processes in order to get from point A to point B.
Enjoy the continuation of your 3 Personal Year and take advantage of all the fun and social engagement you can muster, because you’ll have to place some of that on the back burner and dig into some additional discipline with a focus hard work when the next cycle (4 Personal Year) arrives.
Your finances will be on your mind, particularly on or about October 18th.
You might also be feeling the pressures of family members right now—meddling or needing you in ways you perhaps would rather have some clearer boundaries around.
October isn’t a time for impulsive action. It’s the time for taking yourself and your goals and dreams seriously. Set your intentions. Make a plan. Commit yourself to achieving it step-by-step and … dare to dream.
You’re getting a preview of what’s to come in 2027 when you’ll enter into an entire year focused on the same themes the energy of the 4 brings to you this month, so pay attention to the demands and how they feel to you. Lean into the need to define yourself and your next steps.
This is a great time to lightly get some ideas and a plan in place for what you would love to see expand and launch next year.
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.
