5 Personal Year | December is an 8 Personal Month

End-of-Year Reflection 🎁

December certainly demands that you finish strong! Finances and your career weigh heavily on your mind this month.  Be sure that you’ll be offered opportunities to engage your most empowered self this month. That goes for personal and emotional boundaries with family, friends and colleague all the way to empowering yourself to pull yourself out of old, unproductive stories about your life that hold you back from your own personal greatness.

Take time to acknowledge how everything you’ve experienced in your 5 Personal Year has opened you up to new levels of freedom in the form of a permanent or important change in direction. You’re nearing the close of a year of change and freedom and closing it out with quite a cymbal crash!

I trust you’ve been able to handle everything that’s been coming at you all year long. Sometimes it feels like you’re in the middle of a meteor shower! It’s exciting, yet it’s also demanding that you pay attention and stay on your toes.


 

On top of the already high-frequency vibes of the final month of your catalytic 5 Personal Year, December brings additional verve.  You’ll be offered a few opportunities to step up and exert your personal power. This can very well be paired with financial reward or simply with a focus on finances.

It’s not necessarily the time to start anything totally new and it might not be in your best interest to make a solid commitment until January. Yet it’s time to open up to it and get it all lined up.

If you’ve had some great travels, met new and exciting people, and have embraced your sense of fearlessness and change, you’ve really taken advantage of the energy of the year.

If you’ve been tempted to dabble with excess and a certain level of irresponsibility, this is the time to rein it in and regroup. The month of December can be the exquisite icing on your cake if you now say good-bye to the frenetic pace and commit to getting down to business.


 

This is a month to push to the finish line rather than putting anything off to the side. Perhaps this is the time where you will reap the benefits of something you’ve been working on all year, if you can see it through to fruition.

This is the month where money is a priority. Whatever fun-and-frolic you might have enjoyed during the year is now winding down. Focus on leaning into using your influence to expand your enterprises, take your personal clout to the next level, or to reap the benefits of someone else’s influence opening a door of opportunity for you. Just make sure and take it and express your gratitude for it!

December is the time to organize your financial affairs and get your “house” in order. Time to become the powerful CEO of your life. Tap in and turn it on!

At the same time, you’ll be offered a few power moments. What do I mean by that? You’ll have some opportunities to balance and act upon a solid sense of empowerment.


 

How so, Felicia? Well, let’s look at some of the weaker links and see how these might come up right now. For instance, is your primary focus on the relationships in your life? Then you’ll have some engagements that give you the stage to step into your power. Does your significant other neglect or even abuse you? Time to stand up and put a stop to it. Or are you the one who isn’t stepping up with ethics and honesty in your relationship?

Maybe you’re a professional procrastinator and that’s coming back to bite you. Are you a classic workaholic and have trouble finding a balance with your work life and personal life?

Whatever might be your personal focal point at the present moment will bring about a combustion point that will demand your attention.

This is the month where you’ll be faced with decisions having to do with stepping into yourself in a way that could possibly feel mighty uncomfortable and yet it will open you up to a new level of empowerment. If there’s ever a month to take yourself seriously, it’s December.


 

As you leave your 5 Personal Year and enter into your 6 Personal Year, take some time to consider what was the locus of your freedom-seeking year. What did you focus on? What were your over-arching intentions?

Did you find yourself feeling more alive, gregarious, and fun loving? Did you experience some surprising or interesting people, travel, or dramatic change in your life?

Perhaps you struggled with feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or strangely fearful.

This upcoming year will bring you a considerable number of responsibilities. It’s time to focus on your home, family members, and friends. It’s the time to understand, respect, and consider everyone’s needs which will require a more diplomatic and altruistic approach to all your interactions.

It’s a year where you’ll be investigating your sense of who you are and how you relate — what does love look and feel like to you? What level of responsibly do you want to cultivate? Are you feeling the pull toward marriage, making your relationship exclusive, or deciding you want a higher level of commitment? Do you want to start a family?

If you’re single and ready to couple, are you ready to call in “the one”? Or perhaps you’re coming to terms with the way your marriage or relationship isn’t working and beginning to see how you will need to make decisions about how to revive it or let it go.

This upcoming year places your focus on renewing or leveling-up your current relationship.  If you’re ready for something new, 2025 is a fertile period for attracting a new and vibrant relationships into your life.

Perhaps everything is great on the relationship realm and instead you want to improve your dynamics with friends, colleagues, or family members.

You’re off to a new adventure that involves stepping into your responsibilities and relationship life in a deeper way.

I’m dropping some vital astrological information into this forecast. Although I’m not an astrologer (I leave that to my astrology experts, primarily among them Tali & Ophira Edut “The AstroTwins”), as a numerologist, I find that the information both numerology and astrology offer is always intimately connected.

Astrologically, we’re making a massive shift.

As of November 19, 2024, the planet Pluto moved from Capricorn (where it declared residency for the past 16 years — since 2008) and into the sign of Aquarius.  The AstroTwins offer this outline:

Pluto’s upcoming journey through Aquarius, a sign of revolution, innovation, and the collective. From November 19 to Jan. 19, 2044, Pluto will ignite a new era of transformation, one that could radically redefine power structures and usher in a future where equality and freedom take center stage.

Pluto’s return to Aquarius could usher in another wave of societal transformation, and astrologers already feel it brewing.

While that might seem like a far-off ideal, Pluto has been known to deliver extreme shifts when it enters a new sign. While Capricorn clings to tradition, Aquarius is all about breaking free from convention and embracing the future.

The last time Pluto moved through Aquarius was from 1778 to 1798, and the world went through seismic shifts, from the American Revolution to the French Revolution. This era also dovetailed with the early days of the Industrial Revolution, which completely changed how societies functioned as we replaced farmed and handcrafted goods with machine-made and processed ones.

Pluto’s return to Aquarius could usher in another wave of societal transformation, and astrologers already feel it brewing. There could be a push toward systems that are more egalitarian, tech-driven, and inclusive as we move away from top-down structures to a more collective, grassroots energy.

With that said, this coincides with a powerful and transitional 9 Universal Year. If you’d like to know more about the 9 Universal Year and how to maximize its potential, see my 2025 Numerology Guide.


 

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.
