9 Personal Year | March is a 3 Personal Month
🤔 Reflection for March: How can you find different ways to express yourself—and have fun doing it!
March is a number 3 Personal Month for those of you experiencing a 9 Personal Year. There’s a lot of beautiful healing energy at the ready for you in March.
The challenge with the energy of the buoyant, creative, and emotional number 3 (the vibe for you for March) has to do with bringing emotions up and to the surface. This can come out in surprising ways right now.
You may find that some issues you thought you’d dealt with (like dead, done, and gone!) will come up again to be processed in a different way. Rather than deal with it like an unwanted houseguest, take this opportunity to dig into to guts of the emotional issue that resurfaces. It’s coming up for a reason.
You may have some experiences that challenge your ability to speak your truth and be heard in a way you find most satisfying. In many ways, this month supports you as you express and communicate — and when you have fun doing it and treat it like an exploration or an expedition.
There are a few options as to how the 3 is coming up for you this month.
You can be handed an opportunity that you’ve been waiting for to get your creative project seen and heard — and it’s scaring the bejeezus out of you. Or perhaps you’re so-so-so ready for it and jump on it with all your heart and soul.
Maybe a wave of grief about the loss of a loved one you experienced a while back (thought you were all done with the grief, right?) shows up for you in a rather uncomfortable or surprising way.
Or perhaps you experience what would have been a trigger for your grief or remorse in the past and this time, it feels all right. You suddenly realize that you no longer place such deep feelings to a certain person, event or experience.
Perhaps something happens that places the spotlight on a problematic pattern or addictive tendency and you feel it’s time to look it in the eye and actually deal with it. Rather than avoidance, denial or defensiveness, you suddenly realize you’ve got to take control of this because it’s currently taking control of you.
There are lots of ways that the emotional currency of the 3 can pop in and out this month.
So, while the primary energy of March holds promise for some fun and lighter activities, it’s up to you to cultivate that creative juice, act on it, and find your joy, playfulness, and enjoyment.
Watch your words because they’ll pack more of a punch this month. As don Miguel Ruiz maintains in his book The Four Agreements, this is the time to truly be impeccable with your word.
March is “self-improvement” time, so anything you can do that falls into that category, take the time and enthusiastically jump in.
If the opportunity presents itself — particularly during the week of March 20th — take a short vacation or open yourself into new experiences, however that might show up for you at the moment. It could be that you join a hiking group, sign-up for that ceramics class or finally hit the dance floor again.
You might find that you have some opportunities to do some writing, present some of your ideas to a larger audience or tap into your performance or entertainment talents.
Allow yourself to make use of any and all creative, inspiring or imaginative ideas you have right now. Say a big “yes” to spending time in smaller gatherings with family members or close friends, probably around March 12th or 18th.
You may have to deal with some disagreements or misunderstandings between March 3rd and 15th, perhaps involving very close friends. Unless these matters are handled with great care, they may lead to additional disruptions in the months to come and — eventually — to a shift in the relationship(s).
This year is a rather grand transition — the end of a nine-year cycle for you that’s all about reflection and transformation. It’s a long-game, so pace yourself.
You’ll be required to walk away from certain things in your life this year. But don’t push it. It all needs to ripen and the things that need to fall away will fall away — often without your direct intervention.
There will be some times where you will be faced with the decision to hold on or to release. Overall, all things focused on engaging your playful spirit are favored this month, so dive in with gusto.
CONTEMPLATIVE THOUGHT FOR MARCH:
It feels downright wrong not to mention all of the Astrology that’s happening right now! On February 28, 2025 SEVEN PLANETS fell into alignment, which is, well, it’s a big deal!
See what my colleagues and Astrology experts The AstroTwins have to say about it!
March itself is a wild and dynamic month of Mercury in Retrograde from March 15 to April 7 , not to mention two eclipses. And I’m sure there are other aspects that I’m not mentioning here, and yet you get the picture.
There’s A LOT of cosmic energies being shaken (or stirred!) up in March! So just understand that all of us will benefit from going and flowing right now. Release expectations (remember the 9 Universal Year!) and be open to possibility.

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.
