Master 22/4 Personal Year | A Year for Spiritual Undertakings
In numerology, we believe we experience nine-year periods of time called Personal Year Cycles.
I call knowing your Personal Year number knowing the theme to your party. You don’t want to show up at the wrong party in the wrong outfit for an entire year! (seriously . . . !)
We all feel this shift in energy, don’t we? We get restless toward the end of the year, as the New Year’s Resolution frenzy get underway.
Numerologically speaking, there’s a very real energetic transition that happens for each of us from year to year.
We feel this energy whether or not we understand numerology—or even believe in numerology. When you learn the theme to each Personal Year, you can align with the energy of the year rather than push against it. Know your theme and you’ll find that you have much more success throughout the year. Or at least you’ll be able to extract deeper meaning about why things are happening and how to make sense out of it.
Also note that the Personal Year Cycle runs from January 1 – December 31 (not from birthday to birthday), even though I find that the energy related to your Personal Year intensifies around your birthday. It also comes to a crescendo during the month of September.
Please be aware that some numerologists calculate the Personal Year to run from birthday to birthday.
It’s up to you to decide which school of thought you feel is correct. When I refer to the Personal Year, I’m referring to a start of January 1 and an ending on December 31.
Remember also, when you’re in a Personal Year that has the same number as your Life Path, you’ll feel double indemnity from the slings and arrows of the year—you’re going to feel all the positives doubly. This also means that you’re going to be doubly challenged with the obstacles inherent in the year’s theme.
When you experience a Personal Year that is the same as your Life Path number (or another of your core numbers), the year offers you many experiences and opportunities to bolster where you might have a weak link that needs strengthening within that particular theme. This simply might show up as more intensity or more dramatic occurrences or experiences that revolve around the key themes of your year.
Calculate the Personal Year
EXAMPLE
Take the date of birth: June 18, 2004
Use only the MONTH and DAY:
June is 6
Day is 18: 1 + 8 = 9
Then use the CURRENT YEAR (whatever it happens to be!)
2023 = 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 7
Now add the month, day, and current year together.
6 + 9 + 7= 22 This is a Master 22/4 Personal Year

In addition to the core elements of the number 4, you have the added intensity related to the Master number 22, offering additional challenges.
The potential benefits are enormous. Understand that the Master 22/4 is the most powerful number in numerology. It presents as The Master Builder and requires significant vision, focus, and tireless effort.
This Personal Year is quite intense and prods you to up the ante with your work and career goals.
It often goes hand-in-hand with expanding your enterprises and thinking bigger.
There are many challenges inherent in this energy, including devoting yourself to your work efforts at the expense of your personal relationships—or simply by placing emotional connections in the back-seat for now.
When you experience a 22/4 Personal Year, understand that you’re working with the foundational energies related to the number 4 and then with the double 2.
You’ll need a lot of patience and ability to “play well with others” and share the sandbox, so to speak.
You’re being called upon to step up your enterprises and expand—take a risk and think bigger.
This is just the nuts-and-bolts phase.
The key element for the success and smoothness of the 22/4 Personal Year resides in a strong and clear focus on wider-ranging service to others. If you concentrate whole-heartedly on altruism, on serving the greater good in some significant way, shape, or form—that’s when the magic happens.
This is a butt-kicking year, truth be told.
Understand that you’re simply setting things up and getting them in line. Most often the work coming at you requires depth and is wider-ranging than usual. It can bring even the hardest worker into the fatigue-zone.
If there’s ever a time to banish self-doubt and work at bringing your bigger ideas and aspirations into fruition, it’s now.
The point of focus will be on getting clear about what that is and what the long-range goal will be. It’s time to truly start with the end in mind. Don’t reinvent the wheel. This is a year that’s set up for getting real. As Dr. Phil used to say: “And how’s that workin’ for ya’?”
The 4 or 22/4 Personal Year can get a bad rap. Or at least it can metaphorically be viewed as the “icky” vegetables you must eat before you’re allowed to have dessert. It’s all about formulating goals and aspirations in a clearly defined and actionable way.
The 4 Personal Year is a marathon where slow and steady process is rewarded (eventually) over spontaneity and luck.
If you’re already an organized and achievement-oriented personality, the 4 Personal Year can be the time where you learn to roar.
Alternately, if organization, systems-building, and getting serious about your endeavors makes you either fall into a coma or drop everything and head out to extended Happy Hour—well. Then it’ll feel off kilter and you’ll befall a lot of grief in terms of feeling as though nothing is moving forward and everything takes much more effort than you think it should. It’s as though everything you’re doing is getting you nowhere. Even the simplest things turn into a huge cluster.
Sometimes it can feel difficult if you’re traveling a lot or if there’s a lot of activity since we think about “hard work” being like a ball-and-chain. Not necessarily so. You can make great strides in setting up foundations for your life and business by hustling.
It’ll all depend where you need the most bolstering—is your job okay yet your intimate relationship is a mess? Perhaps you need to commit to an actual home or geographical location. Maybe you’re in a place in your life where it’s all up in the air.
The energy of the 4 forces you to bring it down to earth in a practical, no-nonsense way. If you’re having a 22/4 Personal Year then all bets are off. This is a time for marked advancement with your enterprises and yet it won’t be a casual walk in the park.
