every year, the universal year carries its own themes for the wider collective experience, and it is our personal years that help flesh out more context for how these years may look for us individually.
our personal years carry us from birthday to birthday. come december 31, we’ve all had a birthday and whatever personal year you’ve started on your most recent birthday will carry you into the new universal year. those born on january 1 will begin a new personal year on the same day as the new universal year.
it is normal and expected for most of us to experience two different personal year energies in one calendar year — one concluding and another beginning.
how to calculate your personal year
the personal year is calculated by adding the numerical value of your birth month + birth day + the year of your most recent birthday. using an example birth date of may 12, the personal year would be calculated as follows:
may 12, 2022
5 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 2 +2 = 14 = 1 + 4 = 5
a person born on may 12 started their personal 5 year on their 2022 birthday, which will extend until may 11, 2023. they will begin their personal 6 year on their next birthday, may 12, 2023 which will extend until may 11, 2024, etc.
below, you will find musings for the personal years and themes that have the potential to be explored in the universal 7 year of 2023.
