6 Personal Year | July is a 4 Personal Month
🤔 Reflection for July: This is the month to lean into getting things in line. Planning and practicality pays off royally.
This is your month to ask yourself where you feel at home. This extends to your actual home and housing situation, yet also extends to the more emotional or philosophical aspects of “home.”
Do you feel at home in your own body? Do you feel nurtured and nourished in your life? Do you have people in your life who you can count on for support, even when (or especially when) you’re going through a rough patch?
With that said, July itself is a practical month for you. I know, I know. As if this whole year hasn’t been filled with enough duty or pressing responsibilities as is, right?
Interestingly, in your 6 Personal Year, you only get one month out of twelve that brings you this hard-working, systematic energy of the number 4, so make it count!
Some of last month’s lighter activities may spill over into the beginning of July. Yet know that, from July 3rd to 18th, there may be a good deal of responsibility to take care of, primarily related to your domestic realm and home life.
It’s time to secure your foundations — both literally and metaphorically. Just know that a solid plan followed up by diligent effort brings great results. The satisfaction of a job well done will be your reward. No more diversions or procrastination. Get down to it.
Is it time to brush up your resumé and start networking for that better job? Maybe it’s a time to review your personal “mission statement” and make some determinations for how you’d like the rest of the year to unfold across the board.
Also know that legal or financial matters may need some attention. Don’t put these off. Get out the files, read through the fine print, and do what needs to be done.
Take some time to check on any health matters that may be affecting you, particularly around July 21st.
Hold on, though, because from July 24th on, the workload you’ve been carrying is likely to diminish considerably. The month may close with some lighter social activities.
Also know that you might experience an unexpected lesson in self-discipline, given to you by an unlikely source, such as a child or other family member.
It’s a great month to take a look at an old emotional wound(s) that might be standing in your way. Expose it. Look at it. Dismantle it. Express it. Then its power over you will start disintegrating—or at least it will be pulled into your consciousness in a different way so that it can begin to be dealt with differently.
July offers some moments designed to offer experiences and information that assist you in finding your “place.”
This can show up as finding a new place in your career with a promotion — or perhaps you change jobs and begin to feel out a new place on that realm. Yet since it’s your 6 Personal Year, this most likely will show up as finding your place within your relationship life and also your home life.
Either way, the emphasis is on exploring a sense of place and where you feel a sense of contentment and identity. Glenda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz says it so well: “You’ve always had the power, my dear. You just had to learn it for yourself.”
CONTEMPLATIVE THOUGHT
I’m moved to share a quote (rather lengthy) from an interview with actor Will Smith. He’s a Master 22/4 Life Path, BTW. Anyone who knows anything about his life — the ups and downs, trials and tribulations, massive successes and failures — can attest to this hard-won wisdom. I feel it expresses so many of the issues we’re facing collectively — placed, for example, in the context of the media attention on the recent Bezos-Sanchez wedding extravaganza, Diddy’s trial (he’s a Master 22/4 also, BTW), and there are so many other examples. These are just a few of the obvious and extreme examples that we’re seeing play out right here and right now.
I saw this interview on @realryanblair on IG.
People talk about Rock Bottom, that when you hit rock bottom is when you’ll make a change. But there’s a corresponding place that I call Cliff Top, where you get so high that you realize literally none of this stuff can make you happy.
After you get to the end of the material world–you get to the end of money, you get to the end of sex, you get to the end of fame, you have so much. And then you go off a cliff into the same kind of abyss that you’d be scared of slipping into at rock bottom, where life loses all of its ability to sustain and please you. Then the only thing that’s left is the same thing at Rock Bottom.
The only thing that’s left at Cliff Top is you have to find what you’re actually looking for. And what you’re actually looking for is you. Â When you have money it’s cool to buy things, but it’s not the money you like.
What you like is how you feel inside. It’s unleashing a feeling inside. And at Rock Bottom and at Cliff Top, you have to learn how to generate that feeling without anything external.
You have to learn how to like you so much, that you like being alive so much, that you bring positive energy that’s not generated by stuff. Because stuff is coming and going, like people coming and going. Everything you have and everybody you love is going to rise and fall in your life.
The place that we have to find is a spiritual place where we are good with us. We trust us. I trust myself. I trust God and I trust life. That whatever happens, I’m going to make happy out of it. I don’t need specific things to happen.
—Will Smith

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:Â 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.
For those of you just starting to follow the monthly forecasts, I always share a photo of my Grand Dogs. Both of my daughter’s are proud dog Mom’s. Rio is a Pitbull mix and Oscar is a Wire-Haired Fox Terrier. ❤️
