We’re applying all manner of clever plans, living with purpose and focusing with intention. Yet, a natural consequence of this self-determination is that people are feeling not only increasingly responsible for the outcome of their lives, but also pressured to prove they are equal to the challenge. You are told that if you visualize with intention and believe in your goals, you will attract what you want. Your success is in your hands. Abundance is just a thought away!
Well, not quite. Suppose you’ve been diligently focusing on attracting the things you want into your life. You’ve hired a coach. You’ve produced a dynamite, fail-proof plan. Yet, unforeseen circumstances arise and trends change, getting in the way of your progress and eventually diminishing your feelings of satisfaction. Your confidence falters. You wonder what went wrong.
In your planning, do you consider timing? Is it the right time to focus on business? On relationships? On money? On creativity? You would if you had a crystal ball, but you don’t, right? Well, actually, you do have one, and it is found right in your birth date. Numerologists have been using it for centuries, and it’s called the 9 Year Cycle. This information alone will add such a powerful backdrop to your planning and goal-setting activities that you’ll wonder how you managed without it all these years.
Each of the 9 Personal Years can be used as signposts along a roadmap of sorts, indicating trends that last one calendar year. To calculate your Personal Year number, first reduce the numbers of your birthday and month and the calendar year to a single digit, then calculate the sum of these three numbers. For example, for a birthday on June 12th, calculate the Personal Year for 2008 as follows:
1. Birth Month: June, 6th month
2. Birth Day: 12, 1 + 2 = 3
3. Calendar Year: 2008, 2 + 0 + 0 + 8 = 1
4. Add the results for the Month, Day and Year: 6 + 3 + 1 = 10.
5. Reduce the total to a single digit: 1 + 0 = 1. The Personal Year number for 2008 is 1.
Each of the 9 years has its own climate and tendencies. Much like planting tomatoes in June is more likely to produce a harvest than planting them during a January frost, choosing activities that are appropriate for your current trends will increase your chances of success during that year.
The 1 Personal Year This is a time of new beginnings, filled with enthusiasm and renewed energy. It is the ideal time to make adjustments to outdated areas of life, especially if events in the past have lead to loss of direction. The 1 Personal Year is often experienced as an important crossroads.
The 2 Personal Year Personal and business partnerships typically come to the fore in a 2 Personal Year. This is a time for cooperation, teamwork and receptivity. A certain amount of flexibility is required as new projects begun last year begin to take shape. Discernment is required.
The 3 Personal Year Energy explodes, possibilities abound, and what seemed previously guarded and tentative, now begins to bubble to the surface. New projects and ideas that emerged over the past two years are seeking expression. There can be much social activity, optimism and luck now.
The 4 Personal Year There are three keywords that accurately describe the 4 Personal Year: work, work and more work! Attend to the details and responsibilities of home, family health and work. This is a foundation period, time to set down roots, focus on essentials, and be organized.
The 5 Personal Year The routine gets a little shaking up in the 5 Personal Year. With a strong foundation in place, this is a great year for travel, expansion, innovation and new experiences. This is a great year for marketing and promotion. Much growth is possible now.
The 6 Personal Year The focus is on family and home life, and in particular, on all responsibilities for others, whether at home, in the community or in the workplace. This is a time for balance, peacefulness and service to others. This can be a happy time for love and relationships.
The 7 Personal Year This is a period of temporary withdrawal from the hustle and bustle of worldly and material existence. You feel the need to take time out, gather up inner strength and be better prepared to go all out in the big 8 Personal Year coming in the next year.
The 8 Personal Year This is the big year, the peak of your cycle, the culmination of all that hard work! Now you reap the fruits of your labours of the previous seven years. This is an excellent time for career, professional, business and financial activities and projects.
The 9 Personal Year This year wraps up the cycle, and is often an important year in that it can mark the start of an important transition period. It is a time of completion, wrapping up and winding down. Consider future possibilities without making long-term commitments.
By keeping the 9 Year cycle in mind when planning and goal setting, projects flow more smoothly. Knowing what to do and when to do it gives a greater sense of control and confidence, generally leading to a more positive outlook, all of which naturally contributes in increased success and more satisfactory results. The 9 Year Epicycle clearly indicates the what and the when.
