Your Personal Year
Finding the Current Theme of Your Life
by Rebecca Brents
There are, of course, many milestones to be met,
passed, enjoyed, and endured as your Life Path number unfolds.
One of the most pertinent things to know about where
you are and what to expect on the continuum of your life is the meaning and
motif of Your Personal Year.
You start by finding the number of the Universal Year
... which is gained by reducing the digits of the present year down to a single
number. (I'll make it easy for you. It's 2. 2 + all those zeros = 2.) Last
year's Universal Number was 1. You'll see why that may be important in a
minute.
1 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 28
2 + 8 = 10
1 + 0 = 1
You find your Personal Year by adding the number of
your birth month and birth day to the Universal Number of the current
year. Some numerology texts say that your Personal Year begins along with the
Universal Year ... on January 1 of every year. Personally, I have found that
going from birthday to birthday (as in astrology with the Solar Returns) is a
more applicable way to use this information, but I invite you to try both
methods and see which you find most relevant.
Those of you with birthdays late in the year -- from
June on, for example -- may be especially able to notice a difference.
Interests, concerns, and experiences may "shift" right around your birthday
every year ... and continue in a new track for the next twelve months, while
the brand new year's beginning in January doesn't seem to make much difference
to you and your life at all.
This would certainly be more theoretically correct
with what I have found to work best in translating occult knowledge and
ideology into everyday life. (And I will continue to insist that if it doesn't
work in the "real world," all the esoteric theory you can muster to insist it
should ... doesn't matter.)
Sooo, experiment along with me ... and see what you
come up with. Granted, it may take some time to prove things one way or
another. But as Jack Nicholson said in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,
"What? You got something better to do? You got tickets to the opera?"
I'll even make it easy for you. Last year's Universal
Number reduces to 1. (1 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 28; 2 + 8 = 1) This year's Universal
number reduces to 2. (2 plus all those 0's ... = 2) So take your birthday month
and day ... add 2 to get the theme of your Personal Year. But unless you've
already had your birthday this year, THIS year, the year 2000, make the results
tentative.
