4 Personal Year | October is a 5 Personal Month
October is a 5 Personal Month:
This is the month when opportunity knocks! Are you ready to answer? Embrace unexpected changes and ask yourself what freedoms are the most vital and important to you.
This is a time where you’ll begin to feel the energies related to what’s coming up for you next year. Adventure. Travel. Freedom. Progression. Change.
You might feel a bit edgy this month. I always think about the energy of the 5 (the vibe for your month) like the feeling you have when you stand on one of those vibrating plates at the gym! You have to engage your core in order to stabilize yourself and keep your balance.
If you’ve been in alignment with the optimal elements of the 4 this year, chances are you’ll feel an amazing surge of power in October. Yet with that power might arrive with a bit of fear laced in with it.
Yet the antsy feeling is undeniable. It’s as though you’ve been doing all the work for a huge project at school and you just want to hand it in and go outside and play!
It’s vital and informative to notice what comes up for you this month in terms of how you feel a sense of freedom in your life.
2027 (whenever you experience the 5 Personal Year next year) is a twelve-month cycle where this freedom is the primary theme and focus for you. The intensity can’t be underestimated, especially if you experienced some shake-ups this year with your job or career, with health, with any and all other factors that have been key players in your 4 or 22/4 Personal Year of setting the ground work in a substantial way for what’s to come.
Remember, if this is a 22/4 Personal Year for you, its mission (should you choose to accept it!) has to do with forging a spiritual path to material gain. How’s that showing up for you?
And if you’re in the 4 Personal Year rather than the 22/4 Personal Year, chances are you’re on the edge of burn-out right about now. Am I right? So this is the month to take a breather.
Some of your ventures are moving forward, probably during the weeks of October 9th or 18th. Make sure to monitor the progress of your enterprises and take care of the necessary work.
You get what you inspect.
You’re likely to feel a bit fragmented this month, particularly between October 7th and 25th. Should you stay late at the home office and get that added work done or should you take some much needed time off? You’ll have to prioritize. It’s a great month to cut yourself some slack during your work-focused year.
This month, enjoy new people, new interests, and perhaps some adventure throughout October. Expect social activities (and perhaps romance!) wrapped up with new opportunities in all directions.
There is catalytic energy at work right now and so open up to expansion, plot twists, and changes!
It’s been challenging to shake up our routines as the confines of the year have been, well, confining. This is the month to promise yourself that you’ll adventure out and try something new in whatever way you can manage it.
Opportunity is all around you.
It’s time to check in with your physical body. This is the month for maintenance. You’ve been working really hard this year and perhaps neglecting some body-basics. Time to tune up and tune into your physical body and get it into tip-top condition.
Next year is going to be fast-paced and exciting—make sure you’re ready for it.
Master 22/4 Personal Year
If you find yourself experiencing a Master 22/4 Personal Year, this is a peak month for you as well. Remember that what you’re building this year won’t have a “done date.” You’re creating something substantial that will carry you forward in a significant way that has more of a spiritual base to it.
Not only have you been laying down the gauntlet this year in terms of your life’s business plan, so to speak. You’ve more than likely had some challenging life experiences that have upped the ante with your spiritual practices, spiritual seeking, and spiritual foundation. The 22 offers a double-dose of sensitivity into the mix as well. Feeling it?
Remember, if this is a 22/4 Personal Year for you, this month can be a true game-changer for you. Are you waiting for the green-light for a project, hoping that loan will be approved, in limbo about next-steps with a big geographical move or job change?
This is month that moves the proverbial needle. Change. Forward movement. All the hard work paying off.
If you’re experiencing a Master 22 Personal Year, it’s quite intense and prods you to up the ante with your work and career goals. I’m not big on self promotion, yet you can get detailed information about the Master number 22/4 in my book Master Numbers 11, 22, 33: The Ultimate Guide. It’s quite beneficial to understand the powerful energy that comes with the Master 22.
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.
