9 Personal Year | December is a 3 Personal Month

End-of-Year Reflection 🎁

You’re finishing the year with a high-vibe and with an invitation to enjoy, be social, and lighten up. What a grand way to do a send-off to the 9 Personal Year. Expression, creativity, pleasure—it’s all in the mix for you in December.

Take time to acknowledge how everything you’ve experienced in your 9 Personal Year has tested your ability to release what’s no longer working in your best interest in order to open the door to your next chapter in life.

Do you have the energy and the drive to make it to the finish line? You might feel slightly fatigued right about now, or is that a massive understatement?

 

It’s been a year where you’ve been required to let go of anything old that’s been holding you back from “graduating” into a new level in your life.

Undoubtedly there have been enormous pressures and alarming levels of intensity throughout the year. There’s been an undertone of dire importance, and rightly so. This is “make or break” month in your all-important 9 Personal Year.

If you felt the enormity of these changes, I want to congratulate you for making it through. Were you able to say good-bye to that marriage? “No thanks” to an abusive or lack-luster friendship? Process through the grief of a death in the family? Embrace the birth of a child while knowing that your life has changed forever?

Have you gone with the flow of change, said a heartfelt “thank-you-very-much and good-bye” to certain aspects of your life that simply weren’t in your best interest anymore?

It’s not as though a 9 Personal Year has to have the markings of tragedy.  It can simply be a time where change and transition happen from every level.

There’s a rather volcanic undercurrent to pretty much everything you engage with in a 9 Personal Year, where daily occurrences are intensified, internal questioning is at a peak, and a feeling of general unrest is the order of the day.

This could have been a year of seeing your most amazing dreams manifest before your eyes if you were in the flow of change and moving with the transitions.

I always like to highlight this vital aspect to the 9 Personal Year! It can honestly be a year of dreams manifesting before your very eyes. This happens when you absolutely let go of the old programming, old concepts and expired expectations and greet your new existence with curiosity and excitement.

December can feel as though you’re coming out of a fog, just in time to get you in line with the energies coming your way in the upcoming year. Jump into December with fresh eyes and a renewed vision of what might be possible.

Even though you might feel a bit raw or preoccupied, really give yourself permission to breathe and enjoy yourself this month. Get out there and socialize. Go to the therapist and get those emotions up and out. Get some energy work. Healthy communication is your friend right now, so dig in and make it happen.

Also know that often you’ll continue to have remnants of your 9 Personal Year folding over into the next year. That can be good if you feel as though you haven’t quite let go of what you need to let go of.

These changes are very real, very challenging, and very life changing. So if you’re beating yourself up for not quite coming clean yet, I’m here to assure you that it’s okay. Keep peeling the onion.

 

The energy of the 9 Personal Year holds your hand and seems to guide you in what can sometimes feel like the wrong direction. Did you feel as though you were struggling against moving backward in some way during the year?

The thing to understand and embrace during a 9 Personal Year is this: You must move backward at some points in order to reveal the unfinished business and unresolved issues that prevent you from authentically moving forward.

In many ways, the 9 Personal Year can show up like one extended retrograde period, where you must look backwards and clean and clear the slate before successfully moving into something new.

You literally can’t cross a bridge until you get to it.

So vanquish impatience or feelings that you’re just not getting it right. A new cycle is heading your way, yet you must live, breathe, and experience every moment as you get there.

 

In that same vein, after this rather arduous year, I’d love to see you consider lightening up and focusing on fun, joy, social interactions, creativity, and appreciating the smaller things in life as you experience December.

This month is energized by the fun, social, and expressive energy of the 3, so tap into it!  December is earmarked as a social time for you, so give yourself permission to have fun, get creative, and express yourself.

This upcoming year is a time for new beginnings, new starts, and offers ample opportunities for you to exert your independence and start something new that will carry over into the next nine-year cycle.

I’m dropping some vital astrological information into this forecast. Although I’m not an astrologer (I leave that to my astrology experts, primarily among them Tali & Ophira Edut “The AstroTwins”), as a numerologist, I find that the information both numerology and astrology offer is always intimately connected.

Astrologically, we’re making a massive shift.

As of November 19, 2024, the planet Pluto moved from Capricorn (where it declared residency for the past 16 years — since 2008) and into the sign of Aquarius.  The AstroTwins offer this outline:

Pluto’s upcoming journey through Aquarius, a sign of revolution, innovation, and the collective. From November 19 to Jan. 19, 2044, Pluto will ignite a new era of transformation, one that could radically redefine power structures and usher in a future where equality and freedom take center stage.

Pluto’s return to Aquarius could usher in another wave of societal transformation, and astrologers already feel it brewing.

While that might seem like a far-off ideal, Pluto has been known to deliver extreme shifts when it enters a new sign. While Capricorn clings to tradition, Aquarius is all about breaking free from convention and embracing the future.

The last time Pluto moved through Aquarius was from 1778 to 1798, and the world went through seismic shifts, from the American Revolution to the French Revolution. This era also dovetailed with the early days of the Industrial Revolution, which completely changed how societies functioned as we replaced farmed and handcrafted goods with machine-made and processed ones.

Pluto’s return to Aquarius could usher in another wave of societal transformation, and astrologers already feel it brewing. There could be a push toward systems that are more egalitarian, tech-driven, and inclusive as we move away from top-down structures to a more collective, grassroots energy.

With that said, this coincides with a powerful and transitional 9 Universal Year. If you’d like to know more about the 9 Universal Year and how to maximize its potential, see my 2025 Numerology Guide.

 

Those of you who’ve followed me for a while know that I’m someone who offers different schools of thought as they show up in numerology—pointing out different modes of calculating the numbers and disparate ways different numerologist’s do things.

I have always pointed out that there are two schools of thought about the Personal Year. I’m hesitant to do constant reminders about it because, let’s be honest, it can be confusing! And let’s be honest again: Many people just want the 25-second byte of info without thinking much about it.

Be that as it may, I am going to remind you that there are two schools of thought about the Personal Year. Most numerologist’s use the January 1 – December 31st mode of thinking. Others proffer that the Personal Year is more like a solar return (for those of you who’re astrology-minded), instead running from birthday-to-birthday.

If you’re born at the first of the year, this doesn’t effect you as much. Yet once you hit mid-year and beyond, this can really make a difference. And how do you know what’s right and what’s not right?  BY HOW YOU FEEL! It’s up to each of us to feel it out and see what feels right to us individually.

**The key to avoid as much confusion if you want to explore the birthday-to-birthday scenario:  You would calculate your Personal Year based on the year of YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY. So if you’re reading this right now and your birthday is November 11, you would calculate your Personal Year by adding the Month + Day + LAST YEAR (2023).

In this example, it is 11 + 11 + 7 (2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 7) = 29; and 2+9 = 11.  Up until 11/11, you’re in an 11/2 Personal Year and then you CHANGE INTO THE 3 PERSONAL YEAR on your birthday. Then you begin to read the forecast for the 3 Personal Year. Make Sense?  I don’t want to rock your numerology world, yet it’s only fair to consider both options and see what works for you.
