Your Personal Year — the chapter you're in.

Add your birth day and birth month to the current year, then reduce to a single digit. Example: born 12 March, current year 2026 → 1+2+3+2+0+2+6 = 16 → 1+6 = 7. A Personal Year 7. The number changes on your birthday each year.

• Year 1 — new ground. Plant the seed. Start.
• Year 2 — slower year of partnership and patience.
• Year 3 — expression, social momentum, creative play.
• Year 4 — structure, work, foundations.
• Year 5 — change, freedom, sometimes upheaval.
• Year 6 — home, responsibility, repair of relationships.
• Year 7 — inward, reflective, a year for depth not output.
• Year 8 — power, money, authority, harvest.
• Year 9 — completion, letting go, clearing ground for a new cycle.

The point of knowing your year isn't to be told what will happen. It's to notice when the season you're in disagrees with the plans you're forcing — and to give yourself permission to slow down, change direction, or push harder accordingly.
