7 Personal Year | October is an 8 Personal Month
October is an 8 Personal Month:
This is the month to strengthen your sense of worthiness and empower yourself on all levels. Begin to work your way back into practical and material concerns. Time to shake off the more ponderous energies of the year and begin to open to getting your feet situated and on the ground.
It’s a time where you can elevate and integrate more deeply the lessons and opportunities presented to you at this time. You’ve in some way, shape or form been “sitting in a tin can” (to quote Ground Control To Major Tom by David Bowie!) during this, your spiritual probing and deeply contemplative 7 Personal Year.
The crescendo to this stage happened last month, in September. Now you’re gaining your bearings and getting some traction to move all of that planning and knowledge building into this next phase of your life.
October is imbued with the energy of the powerful and financially-focused 8, which is the energy you’ll be supported by during your 8 Personal Year in 2027. So take notice as to what shows up now. There will be more activity this month and more thoughts about money, business, and what success means to you.
Business affairs have possibly been relatively quiet most of the year, yet movement will begin to take place now. You’ll just start feeling the rumblings—major business advances won’t truly start until your 8 Personal Year ramps up, yet some of your ongoing ventures step into the spotlight this month.
Now you’re starting to feel the compulsion to step up and become more visible. Yet also be aware that it continues to be a year of planning rather than flat-out doing.
Empowerment is a theme for you in October.
And in an oxymoronic way, it collides perfectly with the energy of your contemplative 7 Personal Year. How are you challenged with stepping into your personal power? What consistent issues and stumbling blocks do you experience in this arena?
This is the month to reflect on the consistent issues that keep you from stepping into your full power. Do you give yourself away in relationships? Do you devalue your skills and talents in the workplace? Do you lack the follow-through and consistency regarding your physical and spiritual health?
These issues, wherever and however they hit you personally and individually, will be front-and-center in October. This is the month to start laying out your plan. This has been a spiritual and emotional ride and you’ll be approaching things differently because of it. The energy of the 7 isn’t quick and impulsive—it’s slower, percolative, and somewhat cautious. You’ve been stewing in this juice all year.
Suffice to say, there’s been a lot going on in your internal world, lots of life’s bigger questions have been roaming around inside of you and wanting to be seen and have their turn at the podium.
From October 28th on you’ll start to recognize signs of some endings or transitions—in business matters or your personal life—beginning to form. Finances and empowerment are themes for you next year and you’re getting a taste of that right now.
October is set up for you to get a handle around an expansive view of yourself and your place in the world. Career and the material world will be elbowing their way to the front of the line soon, so enjoy the next few months of “downtime.” You’ll wish you’d bottled some of that energy for next year.
How has your sense of trust been engaged or tested this year? Trust in yourself. Trust in others. Trust in the universe and that it hasn’t turned its back on you and continues to conspire in your favor, even when it doesn’t quite make sense as it’s happening!
October throws you a few curve balls, yet you can handle it. It’s a warm up for 2027. All that learning you’ve accumulated this year will be put into play soon and this is a great month to get acclimated to the more forceful environment you’ll traverse soon. Onward and upward!
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.
