8 Personal Year | February is a 1 Personal Month
🤔 Reflection for February: How can you find ways to concentrate on lift-off for business and career-related ventures?
January was a jagged entryway into your 8 Personal Year, as it began with the need to close out a few things, tie up some loose ends, and experience some surprisingly heightened emotional moments.
Now it’s time for some lift-off for your business and career-related ventures. New opportunities may come to your attention sometime around February 7th. Remember to wear your “practical and business-like gear,” because February marks the genesis of an extremely productive time.
That means you have to focus on what you truly want and follow through with action, not wishful thinking. All the pondering. All the planning. All the prep. All the desire. The time is now.
FEBRUARY IS A TIME WHERE ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS
The 8 Personal Year is empowerment boot camp. It’s training you, testing you, and handing out a big dose of tough love in hopes that you’ll step into yourself and claim your power.
On or about February 12th or 18th, you’ll need to work with cutting to the chase on some of your projects so that you can surge toward the finish line. Expect obstacles—yet adjust any roadblocks standing in your way during the week of February 21st.
This is a particularly fertile time for putting your creative ideas into action. Take the lead. Dare to step into your weird ideas or quirky way of doing things. That is truly where your source of success resides this month.
This is an empowering year and yet—as a friend of mine would say—it’s not for weenie roasts! This is the time to stand up and be counted—to claim your space.
We’ll return to these thoughts and concepts as we move forward in your 8 Personal Year. It’s so much more complex than just being a “money year!”
This is a year of magnificence—where you can manifest your desires often beyond your wildest dreams. How committed are you to your own success and your own true gratification? And how willing are you to take total responsibility for yourself and where you find yourself at this point?
The energy of the 1 (which you’re involved with all month long) in the midst of your empowering 8 Personal Year can feel like a powder keg! On one hand, if you’re ready for it, this can be a month of mind-blowing and incredible successes. On the other hand, this can be a month that feels intense and intimidating, challenging you to be more assertive and self-assured.
This year has you answering these questions (and so many more!). The month of February can set the tone for how what you focus your attention on and how you actively engage in making it happen.
CONTEMPLATIVE THOUGHT FOR FEBRUARY:
I listened to a brief podcast featuring relationship expert Esther Perel (a powerful 8 Life Path).
Here’s a quote from her that I’m grabbing as a mantra or affirmation for 2025 (and beyond…).
“CERTAINTY IS THE ENEMY OF CHANGE.”

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 who are new to the Monthly Forecast, each month I share pics of my Grand-Dogs! These are my daughters’ dogs: Oliver is the senior gentleman (with one blue eye and one brown eye). Oscar is the Wire-Haired Fox Terrier. Rio is a Pitbull-Mix. They are the Dynamic Trio!
