4 Personal Year | August is a 3 Personal Month
August is a 3 Personal Month:
This is the month to know that success comes when you lighten up!
We’re closing in on a peak time for you in your 4 or 22/4 Personal Year. Next month is a crescendo in your year where the energy of the “getting your life in order” number 4 reaches full richness and intensity.
If you thought that the year wasn’t going to let up, you’ll be happy to hear that August offers you a tiny oasis within your year of work, work, and more work.
Finally, some opportunities for a break in the routine will present themselves to you for the taking. The trick is: You have to take them! You benefit from resting, relaxing, and infusing any creative juice into your work, play or relationships during the month of August.
Interestingly one of the factors often overlooked with the number 4 is that—while it’s the number of tenacity and getting-it-done—it also requires true and deep relaxation. Otherwise, when you’re in a 4 cycle you can experience burnout and stress-related health issues.
With that in mind, know that August is energetically aligned for you to back off and unwind. The number 3 energy of your month points toward focusing on the lighter side of life. It’s ripe for getting out and living a little—for social activities, creative endeavors, and entertainment. If there’s a month marked for a vacation or a light getaway, it’s August.
One of the primary lessons you’re engaged with in this 4 Personal Year is in understanding the meaning of limitation and how you might personally engage with it. Certainly you’ve noticed that the year has offered you more than your fair share of limitation on a platter.
Or has it? Part of the process of working with the energy of the 4 is to know this: If you want to reduce the limitation you feel you have in your life, you must step outside of your own way and stop limiting yourself. Easier said than done, I realize.
Personally, I’m the Queen of saying I’m not going to reinvent the wheel and then, there I go, reinventing it again and again. Ugh. Seriously. This is your cue to step back and see if you can open to different options, different potentials, and different opportunities.
Usually, during the 4 Personal Year, you really have your “head down,” so to speak. It’s challenging to even realize how you’ve blocked off easier ways of doing things or even more expansive opportunities by simply being so wrapped up in your version of how things should be done to see that there are better, more effective and happier ways of doing it.
Understand that some of your projects are likely to undergo expansion or a change of direction this month. And yet your message: Take the reins and take responsibility for your life. It’s time to get beyond drudgery and step into your sense of empowerment. What lights you up?
Your creative input or verbal abilities may play a significant role in the shifts that take place in August, so step up to the plate. There may be an opportunity to experience some profound breakthroughs of all kinds if you tap into—and trust—your creative impulses.
An idea you’ve been thinking about for several months may come into play, particularly on or about August 3rd.
Between August 9th and 21st, you may meet a new friend or potential business partner who provides some vital input or leads you to some deal-breaking information.
This entire year has proven to be an obstacle course that has the capacity to change and alter your outlook as you know it. You’ve been forced—through hell and high water—to look at things from different angles than you’re used to, while simultaneously allowing you a view from a totally different perspective and vantage point.
Take this time in August to evaluate and perhaps pivot into some new resolve to get down to business. August brings a shift to the way in which you’re going to continue to pursue your goals for the year. You may even decide on a new goal altogether.
Yet the point is: You’ve gone up against a lot this year already. You might say that you’ve been staring “reality” in the face and attempting to gain control over your corner of your world.
This year also dredges up some old family or relationship wounds or issues that force you to deal with them differently that you have dealt with them in the past. The 4 Personal Year has been demanding and, let’s face it, rather exhausting.
The infused energy of the playful 3 for you in August highlights the need to soften up, lighten up, and splash some creativity and social interaction into the mix. Get your creative juices flowing and act upon your ideas—you’re heading for another big breakthrough—it’s just starting to percolate right now.
Master 22/4 Personal Year
If you’re experiencing a 22/4 Personal Year, in addition to the core elements of the number 4, you have the added intensity related to the Master Number 22. offering you additional challenges and more phenomenal opportunities. The potential benefits are enormous.
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.
That said, if you’re in a 22/4 Personal Year, this month holds out some wonderful opportunities for creative problem-solving and anything having to do with creative projects generally.
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.
