6 Personal Year | April is a 1 Personal Month
April is a 1 Personal Month:
This is the month to ignite your passion and start something anew.
Could this possibly be your “Eureka” moment?
Don’t waste a second of your time in April as you start setting the table (so to speak) and initiating crucial additions or changes related to your sense of home.
Last month offered a multitude of opportunities and experiences allowing—or forcing, for lack of a better term—you to let go of certain things you need to say good-bye to.
Key concept for April: IGNITE
For you, March was all about letting go and endings.
April, on the other hand, supports the start of new activities or the beginning of a new relationships, most likely intensified between April 9th and 27th.
Remember that the entire year is all about reviewing your relationships—first with yourself and then with everyone else in your life. This goes from your most intimate partnerships to friends and colleagues and business partnerships.
April is all about initiating something new and supports you in acting upon your sense of individuality and independence.
Around April 18th you might experience a breakaway of some old conditions or circumstances.
Are you ready for total reinvention? Will it be on a grand scale or on a more subtle one? This is a forward-moving month for you, so make it count. Don’t expect solid results to manifest overnight. Yet, nurture the projects and relationships that you want to see bloom and blossom throughout the year.
You’re setting the stage for the rest of 2026 during April, so choose what you focus on with care and with passion.
You might focus on honing in and defining your personal values. What are your ideals? In what ways are you idealistic and in what categories? For instance, do you get really jacked up about the political system because you have strong ideals about how it should be done?
Or perhaps you have an overriding sense of idealism about how your intimate partner should behave and experience disappointment after disappointment when they don’t measure up.
Or let’s say your idealism resides mostly in your sense of yourself and your sense of your own performance. Whatever it may be (or a combination thereof), April offers you some opportunities to delve into your perceptions on a deeper level and come to terms with what works for you and what you might want to reconsider and reevaluate.
If this resonates with you, it might be a great month to visit a little of The Work with Byron Katie. Basically, she offers a system where we can dissect our troublesome thoughts and decide if we want to keep them or not! (click here)
With that said, your 6 Personal Year offers continued moments where you can evaluate your core values and how you might want to revise how you engage with—and express—them.
April is your month to stand on your own two feet and express yourself within your relationship life. It’s a great time to turn over a new leaf and let go of unrealistic expectations and give yourself a hall-pass to relax into a bit of acceptance of yourself (and others) just the way you are, right here, right now. Tap into your independent spirit and be bold.
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.
