3 Personal Year | October is a 4 Personal Month
🧠Directive for October: This is the month to get organized and tend to the root system of your life.
This is a month for you to implement some of the creative endeavors you’ve been working on.
Think back to January of this year. What was unfolding for you then? The energy of the month of October is the same as it was for you in January— the hard-working and goal-focused 4.
I find when we repeat a cycle within a cycle—meaning you’re revisiting a 4 Personal Month within a full Personal Year—it’s beneficial to look back and see what was happening during that month and to then see how you might be offered an “up-leveling” of your experience as you walk through it again.
It’s a time where you can elevate and integrate more deeply the lessons and opportunities presented to you at this time.
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 mostly 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 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 closing months 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 New 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 2025 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.
Those of you who’ve followed me for a while know that I’m someone who offers different schools of thought as they show up in numerology—pointing out different modes of calculating the numbers and disparate ways different numerologist’s do things.
I have always pointed out that there are two schools of thought about the Personal Year. I’m hesitant to do constant reminders about it because, let’s be honest, it can be confusing! And let’s be honest again: Many people just want the 25-second byte of info without thinking much about it.
Be that as it may, I am going to remind you that there are two schools of thought about the Personal Year. Most numerologist’s use the January 1 – December 31st mode of thinking. Others proffer that the Personal Year is more like a solar return (for those of you who’re astrology-minded), instead running from birthday-to-birthday.
If you’re born at the first of the year, this doesn’t effect you as much. Yet once you hit mid-year and beyond, this can really make a difference. And how do you know what’s right and what’s not right? BY HOW YOU FEEL! It’s up to each of us to feel it out and see what feels right to us individually.
**The key to avoid as much confusion if you want to explore the birthday-to-birthday scenario: You would calculate your Personal Year based on the year of YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY. So if you’re reading this right now and your birthday is November 11, you would calculate your Personal Year by adding the Month + Day + LAST YEAR (2023).
In this example, it is 11 + 11 + 7 (2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 7) = 29; and 2+9 = 11. Up until 11/11, you’re in an 11/2 Personal Year and then you CHANGE INTO THE 3 PERSONAL YEAR on your birthday. Then you begin to read the forecast for the 3 Personal Year. Make Sense? I don’t want to rock your numerology world, yet it’s only fair to consider both options and see what works for you.
