What is Your Personal Year Number?
Each year you have a new personal year number based on your birthday. Having this information will help you understand the theme and challenges you will have this year.
To find your personal year, add your month and day of your birthday to the current year.
Calculate like this:
If your birthday is April 1 and it is 2023: 4+1+2+0+2+3 = 12 (1+2=3).Your personal year number is a 3. Now look at the definitions of your personal year to discover more about your journey this year.
Note, if your personal number adds up to a master number (11 or 22) do not reduce.

Hi I am in a personal year 9 now. Does that mean it will take me a whole year to quit my job? I’m actively pursuing change now, not sure if I can last another year in the same position. Thanks John

I know, I know.. I just finished a 9 year in 2020. No worries.. you just may leave your job this year.
Or you can take this time to research.. Look at what you want.. connect to what could make you happy and inspired. The nine is a time of transition and change.
Either way, the next year, the “one” will be the jumping board and will give you an inspired energy to act. Try to enjoy the ride!
