9 Personal Year | October is a 1 Personal Month
October is a 1 Personal Month:
This is the month to begin to feel a revived sense of energy and when some pieces begin to come together. Begin to cut through the fog and step into forward movement.
At this point in your 9 Personal Year, it’s a bit of a “hurry up and wait” game. Yet there’s much to be learned in the process. If you’ve played your cards right this year, you’re mentally prepared to act on the freedom to move in the direction of your choosing—not in a holding pattern that might be strangling the life out of you. (…cue theme song of choice for the 9 Personal Year . . .)
Trust is a key concept right now. Trust in yourself. Trust in your feelings. Trust that you’ve also done the practical, tangible preparation that’ll allow you to move in the direction you want to go.
October promises more of the same in terms of opportunities to clean house. The less unfinished business you have to contend with, the more clarity and revised energy you’ll be feeling.
A new interest that surfaces on or about October 7th may be ripe for exciting development within a short time-frame. Several new opportunities with considerable potential are beginning to open up between October 9th and 27th.
This can be a turbo-charged month for business, work, and/or creative thinking and problem solving.
During the week of October 16th, you may meet some new friends or possibly a new business partner with interesting potential. It’s a month of give and take, of ups and downs. Grab hold of your self-confidence and be open to change, transition, and something new.
As playwright Tom Stoppard says: “Every exit is an entry to somewhere else.” Keep this in the forefront of your mind as you continue to blaze through the fog—gently so as not to fall down and hurt yourself, yet with measured confidence and trust that when the fog lifts, you’ll be in a new and exciting place in your life.
It can suddenly it feels as though there is a light on where the bulb has been burned out all year long. A sense of newness and beginning is becoming stronger and stronger. It’s time to anticipate a plan of action. Yet the anticipation is just that. It’s just out of reach! As Tim Curry’s (RIP Tim) Dr. Frank-n-furter sings in Rocky Horror Picture Show: “I see you shiver with Ant ….. ic ….. i ….. pation.”
Things can certainly gain more clarity this month, yet you must also take the 9 Personal Year to the finish line. And that’s a good thing! Think of it like you’re washing your car. You don’t want to exit the car wash before the entire process is complete. That would pretty much negate the entire reason to get your car washed, if it comes out half-way clean with soap suds still clinging to it.
The same idea with the 9 Personal Year. It’s still the time to clean house, to seek the support you might need to let go of what needs to make its exit, whether is a lifeless relationship, soul-sucking job, or an addiction to any negative or unproductive self-talk (just a few examples). Of course, the key and the underlaying difficulty resides in truly coming to grips (and making friends with) the fact that everything is temporary. The great things in life are just as temporary as the devastating things in life. This is a major lesson and reality of the 9 Personal Year. This theme is in the spotlight for you this year.
Yet October holds out some forward-moving experiences and gives you a taste of the overall vibe of what’s to come for you during your 1 Personal Year in 2027 where initiative and independence are key players.
Meanwhile, this is a month where you might feel some movement, some signs of life and optimism that may have been hard to come by at certain times this year. The energy of the 1 is a disruptive energy. It’ll push the envelope. It seeks momentum. It wants and needs to bring energy into life and into manifestation. Enjoy and make the most out of this opportunity to make some advancements in October.
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.
