6 Personal Year | January is a 7 Personal Month
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥳
Last year, I focused the Monthly Forecasts by sharing your DIRECTIVE for the month.
I alway intuitively feel out what I feel the key container might be for the year and for 2025, I’m going to focus the monthly forecasts by offering a REFLECTION to frame the energy of the month.
Why? Because 2025 is a 9 Universal Year (find out more about the 9 Universal Year and how it interacts with your Life Path here).
The 9 Universal Year is the end of a global cycle of time. The Universal Year indicates what we’re all experiencing as a global community.
This is a year of emotional and transformational endings, conclusions, and letting go of the old to make room for the new. The 9 is also calls for a spiritual awakening. It’s the number of humanitarianism and of universal wisdom. These are the focal points for 2025.
And it won’t be an easy or comfortable journey!
With that said, I want to avoid any confusion you might have regarding your Personal Year and how it moves from year to year.
First of all, there are two basic 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.
Therefore, if you experienced a 5 Personal Year last year, December was an 8 Personal MONTH.
Then January rolls around and you shift to your 6 Personal Year.
In the 6 Personal Year, January is a 7 Personal Month (we add the 6 Personal Year + the number of the month [January = 1] which is 7).
So you’re experiencing the same vibe that you did two months ago, in November.
The second mode of thought is that the Personal Year runs from birthday to birthday, somewhat like a Solar Return in Astrology.
I acknowledge that there are people who will fiercely assert that the birthday-to-birthday method is the only method.
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.
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.
🤔 Reflection for January: Take some additional time for hibernation. This is a month for planning and preparation rather than outright action.
This year is devoted to thin-slice who you are and how you relate— to yourself and to others in your sphere. And along with the spotlight on your relationship world, it’s a home-based year where responsibility, family, duty, and service take a front seat.
Not only does the year offer opportunities to nestle into what home means to you, it also offers you a time where you literally might be drawn toward moving into a new home, making home improvements, or getting serious about a home-based business.
This is your year to focus on all relationships, including coming to terms with what stays and what goes.
January’s a time where you’ll want — and need — to also rely on research and data collection. It’s a time for planning and preparation rather than outright action.
This is a month for planning rather than doing.
This might show up as an internal feeling of urgency about your marriage or significant partnership. Have you been teetering toward a break-up? Is the pressure building and now it’s time to move the needle one way or the other?
If so, January is a perfect time to do your research — whether it’s finding a lawyer or mediator, finding a good couples therapist, or finding a way to bring you concerns to the table in a productive way with your partner.
Perhaps it’s just the opposite. You and your partner are flying high and ready to up-level your commitment. This is a good month to contemplate how you might want that to look and feel.
January is a contemplative month with a focus on spiritual pursuits, deep learning, and meeting up face-to-face with experiences that challenge you to dig deep into who you really are on a core level. This can fit right into the launch of your 6 Personal Year — you might spend a bit more time at home and get your bearings.
Understand that you’ll need to spend more time on family and home matters throughout the year than you generally do. Or at least you’ll need to focus on domestic matters in a different and perhaps more intense fashion than usual. Love, responsibility, and relationship can show up in all kinds of ways.
Some financial affairs or matters of health maintenance may rise to the top of the list, probably around January 6th.
Between January 9th and 18th, you may want to spend some solo time contemplating some issues you want to address within your relationship(s).
Take advantage of this time for contemplation and processing, as the rest of the year is much more devoted to extending your energy outward. This month supports you in taking some additional time to hibernate and rest.
CONTEMPLATIVE THOUGHT FOR JANUARY:
It’s time to step away and get some distance. See how your family (your religion, culture, etc) shaped you. Feel into that shape.
Now ask yourself if you like that shape? If not, what shape would you prefer? If you don’t like your shape or want to change or improve upon it in any way, 2025 is the time to remold your shape into what YOU want it to be. The 9 Universal Year supports all shedding, reshaping, endings, conclusions, and spiritual awakenings.
