5 Personal Year | November is a 7 Personal Month
November is a 7 Personal Month:
This is a month for going inward and to take time for reflection. Take a rain-check on all the do-do-doing and give yourself permission to take a retreat this month—literally or metaphorically. Take time for reflection.
Are you ready to take a spiritual hiatus from your topsy-turvy year?
November holds out some time for contemplation and slowing down. Can you plan a little R & R? A personal retreat? A moment by yourself? Added walks with the dogs?
Anything you can do to spend more time in a peaceful environment or out in nature will feel in perfect synchronicity right now. Have you been putting off that checkup? Feeling frazzled and pressured at home or with work? Schedule your physical tune-up at your allopathic, naturopathic, or whatever health practices you follow—sometime around November 6th.
You’ll need to spend some time solo this month, so don’t resist it. It’s all about gaining some higher-level spiritual insights and some expanded levels of self-evolution (not to get too “la-tee-da” about it!).
You may also get a nudge to get serious about an exercise regimen or healthy eating program to start implementing in slow steps so that it has lasting results. This can be a month where you feel the pull toward getting more systematic about your meditation time, your devotion to writing in your daily journal, or scheduling an added therapy session for the month.
It’s time to begin reflecting on next year’s themes: responsibility and relationships.
This year has been all about freedom. Really getting up close and personal with how you do and don’t feel you have certain levels of freedom in your life and a spotlight has been focused on how to create what you feel is missing.
Is it physical freedom? Has the year brought you instances and experiences pointing you to dealing more seriously with an addiction? With revamping an exercise routine? With eating differently? Dealing with emotional and mental health in a more proactive way?
Perhaps it’s been about financial freedom, bringing you to review your career, how much money you make, how you spend money, and how you do or don’t invest it.
The 5 Personal Year can bring the big kahuna in terms of questioning everything — diving into the more burning spiritual questions and seeing where you land. It’s a year that catapults you into changing circumstances.
The coming year brings you a year devoted to responsibility, home and family, and an evaluation of your relationships. Some of that is going to start popping up this month, so be ready to get your feet wet and experience a preview of what’s to come.
Chances are that you’ll feel compelled to reflect on a number of significant matters that are bubbling to the surface, particularly between November 9th and 27th.
It’s the time to assess and evaluate the many changes that have taken place throughout the year. Have you faced your fears and forged ahead with an adventurous spirit? Have you embraced some very real change in your life this year—change that will be permanent from now on?
With any luck and good grace, you’ve been able to relish a bit of a decadence that the energy of the 5 can bring with it—travel, and for the enjoyment of all things sensual—sex, yes—and yet also just relishing the experience that comes with enjoying good food, a beautiful piece of clothing, a superb glass of wine or a glorious sunset.
November might feel a bit low energy as you digest the year’s activities and formulate where you want to go from here. It’s not a month for action, action, and more action. Rather, it’s a time to reflect, review the past and the present, and lightly envision a plan for the future.
You might feel as though you’re on a different wavelength right now. That’s okay—enjoy a moment of solitude. You need time and space to process the many changes you’ve experienced this year. This is a month for planning and “data collection” rather than of action and forging ahead.
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.
