4 Personal Year | February is a 6 Personal Month
🤔 Reflection for February: How can you focus on your home life and work toward establishing a sense of security and belonging that you crave?
Can you feel the weight of the importance this year has in store for you? Understand also that it’s not as though you get your excel spreadsheet on January 1 with your punch-list for the year. Part of the journey for you is the exploration of what aspects of your life you want to develop and how you want to commit to the process of making whatever that is come to fruition in a real and practical way.
Creating systems and thinking systematically are key features to the theme for your 4 Personal Year.
FEBRUARY IS ALL ABOUT HOME – WHAT DOES HOME MEAN TO YOU?
February’s guided by the energy of the number 6—an energy focused primarily on home, family, loving relationships, and responsibility. Do you want to stabilize your living arrangements? Do your career objectives need some updating and revisiting? Maybe you’re even thinking of a retirement plan or some other exit strategy where you can reconfigure your work and financial life.
This month, expect a few interruptions might get in your way. Around February 3rd or 9th, home and family matters take the front seat, whether it’s convenient for you or not.
Some disagreements or misunderstandings are demanding to be resolved, particularly on or around February 12th. This can be within your work environment or even family and friends. Are there practical conversations that need to be addressed and yet have been avoided for—well, forever? Do you and your significant other need to come together and discuss “what’s next?” in a different way; by getting legal documents consolidated and agreed upon? Or perhaps you’re in a phase of life where you’re getting serious about moving out of your parents’ house and into a place of your own? Could you be at a juncture where it’s “now or never” about starting a family, going back to school, or finding a new job?
You might also experience some issues regarding legal, tax or insurance affairs related to your home, significant other, or other family property during the month of February.
Oh, so many home-based issues and obligations right now. Be sure to carve out time for important family engagements during the weeks of February 14th or 23rd. Sometimes these domestic matters have to do with your support of other friends or family members as they experience some challenging times.
Understand that the energy of your 4 Personal Year supports you in revisiting some old, crusty family “stuff” that needs to rise to the surface, be examined, and potentially put to bed or transmuted into something else. This can be family of origin or the family you’re a part of now (or a combination thereof!).
You’ll be offered more than one opportunity to get these issues out in the open and dealt with in a different way than you’re used to dealing with them. This is your golden opportunity, although it usually won’t feel so golden as you’re stepping through it.
Also remember that the number 4 always brings in a certain sense of limitation. And since this is coupled with the “home and family” theme in February, you can’t escape working through some sense of limitation as it pertains to your family life.
Nothing will feel particularly easy and breezy this year insofar as longer-range goals and plans being hashed out, organized, and initiated. Slow and steady wins the race for you in 2025! I’ll remind you all year long to continue to carve our self-care time — walks with friends, good nutrition, a massage or energy work. Make sure you put yourself in your calendar and keep your commitments to yourself.
Master 22/4 Personal Year
If you’re experiencing a 22/4 Personal Year, each month you get the energy of the 4 Personal Year. Yet you also get this additional intensity that the Master 22 brings to your table.
With the double number 2, chances are you’re feeling more emotionally vulnerable and can really do the back-and-forth between getting down to the drawing board and hammering out your Q1-4 goals over shots of espresso and late nights at the office.
The Master number 22 brings a certain force that can be intense in the spiritual illumination realm. You might keep in mind that the year holds out lots of gems for you if you can slow down enough to “get” them.
And sometimes these gems will show up in what initially doesn’t feel fun or illuminating whatsoever. They can show up as challenges or experiences that force openings, healing, and different approaches to how you’re doing things in your life. In a 22/4 Personal Year, this can be a reinvention across the board.
How so? The year prods you to consider your spiritual pathway—your soul’s purpose. Not just how much money you want to earn for your quarterly bonus.
Often the 22/4 brings opportunities in the way of challenges that are designed to open you and redirect you onto a different pathway—one that uses your abilities to help others in a bigger and more dynamic way.
CONTEMPLATIVE THOUGHT FOR FEBRUARY:
I listened to a brief podcast featuring relationship expert Esther Perel (a powerful 8 Life Path).
Here’s a quote from her that I’m grabbing as a mantra or affirmation for 2025 (and beyond…).
“CERTAINTY IS THE ENEMY OF CHANGE.”
>If you want to review the nuts-and-bolts about the 4 or 22/4 Personal Year, watch this short video.
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 who are new to the Monthly Forecast, each month I share pics of my Grand-Dogs! These are my daughters’ dogs: Oliver is the senior gentleman (with one blue eye and one brown eye). Oscar is the Wire-Haired Fox Terrier. Rio is a Pitbull-Mix. They are the Dynamic Trio!
