Ask Greer: A friend of mine just opened a new business…and when I did her numbers for 2013…they came out to a 9 (nine). It kind of surprised me. It’s such a new beginning for her…my amateur-self (in analyzing numerology patterns) expected to see another number, like a 1 (one). I just wanted to check with the expert and get your opinion/thoughts on that. — Andie
Greer: Let’s first discuss how to find out what personal year you are in*. The number changes every year when the date changes. You add the sum of your birthday month and day to the current year and then reduce the number. Example, if someone was born April 8, they would be in a nine (9) year in 2013. 4+8+2+0+1+3=18/9. *Read more about the personal year.
The Power of Nine
The nine year is a year of transformation, completion and transition, and often stirs the pot, so to speak, towards a new beginning. It can also be a year of publishing. The power of nine is all about change, or at least experiencing the many options of life and all its possibilities. I remember in my 9 year I was so close to leaving my job, so close to moving towards a new life, and dealing with all the fears and confusion in the way.
The nine year often feels like a whirlwind and very powerful. Sometimes people from the past reenter to remind you of your lessons in life. Often familiar old habits or emotions resurface to become our teachers in order to discover what we can let go of, rebirth, or start a new chapter.
Nine is also connected to the zero, that hallway that has so many doors and you do not know which one to open, but you know that you are in the hallway and not where you used to be. Thus, the nine is potential and embracing all the possibilities in life.
So yes, it makes sense to open a new business in the 9 year and it will probably really come into a lucrative form in the one (1) year. In my one year I finally quit my job, but the 9 year involved all the stirring of it. When a business begins in a nine year it is part of the transformation of the person, but it usually is a time of getting the kinks out and the real work begins in the next year.
My sister got married in a nine year. it was certainly a year of transformation for her.
Hi Greer,
My life path number is a 9 (8+4+1959). My personal number this year equals 9 as well, so I’m in the same number frequency as my birth year. How does this get translated? Is it an ending or a beginning or both??? 🙂
Web Site is great!

Hi Lori,
Ah a life path (destiny) of nine. Wonderful and challenging. This is the journey of the spiritual warrior. Your life will always be changing and shifting and always with the theme of transformation. With compassion, you have the ability to truly see inside others, you see the truth and you can help others see their truth. Challenging, as you will need to find a grounding in the ever-changing life you live. Gandhi was able to do it. Go through your day with a smile as you enlighten yourself and others and remember you live here also to have fun.
With this being a nine personal year 8+4+2+0+1+3 = 18/9.. yes double whammy. A real whirlwind year for you. Lots of change and transformation. Most likely the things you will be looking at have to do with your life purpose… yes? Whether is an ending or beginning or both.. you tell me! What has the year been like so far?
Would love to hear from you or any of you with comments or questions about the numbers. Feel free to comment here.
love,
Greer
HI Nicole, thanks for the question. So to find out your personal year, you add your month and day of birth plus the current year.
so 1+1+5+2+0+1+3=13. 1+3 = 4. The four year is the year of the builder, the organizer. A great time for getting projects complete. Also issues with the home. So what are you doing this year? Some times the theme of the year is the challenge of the number. So the challenge would be feeling that your life is in disarray and you do not feel grounded or everything is taking too long and you are not getting anything done. Life might even feel tedious. The lesson is patience and understanding that things take time. How was this year for you?
Hello Brynicka, To find your personal year, add your month + day of birth to the current year. Check out this link for a personal year calculator. this should help:) http://numerology4yoursoul.com/find-your-personal-year-number/

I’m an 8 life path and in a 9 personal year. I feel my job of 17 years is coming to an end. A new opportunity has come into play and I’m wondering is it good to start a new job this early into my 9 year?
H Jenny, Wow the nine personal year is a powerful one. It sometimes feels like a roller coaster ride. It is all about transformation. What is your next step? With an 8 life path you might find that this year is about career.

Just like Lori this is my ninth personal year and my life path is a nine also I’m an Aries which is also a nine. I am aware 2017 is a year of one and it will bring about change.
I’ve seen growth more a raise in my passion to be more fearless in pursuing my passions and doing what makes me happy.
There has been a lot of changes in my family new homes and the death of my grandmother too. Recently giving my two weeks notice without any type of emergency fund and having a mortgage for the home I purchased in 2016 a year of nine.
HI M,

Many blessings, and enjoy the ride!
