6 Personal Year | October is a 7 Personal Month
October is a 7 Personal Month:
This is the month to take a time out. Go within for answers. Dive inward and give yourself a break. Really. It’s time to regroup. This is prime time for study, research, writing (journaling), teaching, and inner growth.
The energy of the 7 (the vibe for October) is all about stopping for a moment and going inward, whatever that might mean for you and to you at this moment.
Your 6 Personal Year has been a time devoted to additional home-based responsibilities and relationship evaluations on all fronts. I’m sure you’re coming to terms with some of the things that are working for you in your relationships—and ways that certain things aren’t working for you anymore.
October is the perfect time to analyze your current needs and desires—some good days for focusing on these issues are between October 9th and 17th.
Certain changes that need to happen in your life are taking form now. It most likely feels like an intense month requiring that you place some renewed trust in yourself and your trust in your cosmic support team.
What is meant for you will find you. And it’ll find you with more resolve and speed if you stand still and allow it to catch up to you. That’s what this month is all about.
Next year ushers in opportunity to change the texture and direction of your life in a profound and permanent way. Yet it will be a slow, deep, and intimate process. Next year (2027) brings you into a 7 Personal Year and the 7 is the energy you’re experiencing this month.
If you’re extra sensitive or “into” this sort of thing, you might enjoy feeling into this energy and opening yourself to the idea that this will be the ongoing theme for you—in all of its intricate manifestations—for the year next year. Immense levels of deep personal and spiritual growth.
It can be rather fun to lightly consider that and perhaps even write down a few notes in your journal about what comes up and how it feels. Then maybe you can refer back to it sometime next year and see how it all connects and interweaves together. You’ve potentially been at the beck-and-call of everyone in your world this year and certainly you might feel a bit worn out or worn thin.
If you can reserve the weeks of October 6th or 18th for a bit of study, contemplation, rest and relaxation, please do it.
It’s also time to check in with your body and get everything in alignment with your physical vessel. Spending some time alone and taking care of yourself is part of the positive agenda in front of you in October. Not to mention getting into the doctor, dentist, chiropractor, or other health maintenance provider.
This is the time when you’re analyzing how you’ll feel if you don’t make the changes you know you need to make. You’ll feel as though you’re riding on a different wavelength this month. Let yourself detach a little bit. You don’t have to take a month-long silent retreat in order to take advantage of the energy October brings to you. Yet if you are called to take a break, unwind near some water or even engage in an actual retreat setting, this is the perfect time.
If you’ve been working on a creative or business project, this is a red-letter month to unplug and really dig into it. Just take some additional time and space for yourself.
October will test your sense of vulnerability. It will also test your ability to trust—yourself, other people, and what the universe has in store for you.
Oddly (or perhaps not so oddly!), October is a month where some major thoughts, feelings, and issues related to your 6 Personal Year themes come up in full force. Where do you feel at home? Are you initiating or longing for a geographical move? Perhaps you just moved into a different home or apartment and are getting settled or would like to commit to a move.
And then there’s the issue of responsibility. This has been under the microscope all year long. Then the cherry on top? Love. Relationship. These are the key issues that will most likely occupy your mind, heart, and soul in October. Home. Responsibility. Relationship.
The energy of your 6 Personal Year has a smidgen of sacrifice woven into the mix. If you bring in some synonyms for “sacrifice,” you can lean into it in a very interesting way: surrender, part with, and forgo are just three synonyms. Atonement, offering, and reparation are three more.
My point is that the number 6 is the number of self-sacrifice, yet with balance. The sacrifice is selfless and responsible, not enabling and judgmental. At the end of the day, the 6 offers a really profound warm and genuinely deep sense of gratification when you’re helping and supporting. This month is time to reflect on the ways you enter into your relationships and to review if you’re feeling empowered or disempowered overall.
Take some nice autumn hikes outdoors and if you can spend any time by water—creek, ocean, lake—you’ll not regret it. Take a techno-detox session and unplug for a weekend. Spend your solitary time analyzing the changes and accomplishments with which you’ve been involved this year. How’re you doing?
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.
