In our journey so far, we have decoded your "Permanent Code"—the numbers that stay with you from birth to death. But the universe is not static; it moves in waves. In numerology, these waves are known as the 9-Year Cycle.
Every year on your birthday, you enter a new Personal Year. This number tells you what the "Theme" of your current 12-month period is. Knowing your Personal Year is like having a spiritual weather forecast: it tells you when to plant (start a business), when to harvest (collect your rewards), and when to stay indoors (rest and reflect).

To find your current vibe, you combine your birth information with the Current Year (which is 2025).
Personal Year = Your Birth Month + Your Birth Day + The Current Year (2025)
Let’s calculate the Personal Year for someone born on August 12, for the year 2025.
Reduce the Birth Month: August is the 8th month. Total = 8.
Reduce the Birth Day: 12 becomes 1 + 2. Total = 3.
Reduce the Current Year (2025): 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9. Total = 9.
Add them all together: 8 (Month) + 3 (Day) + 9 (Year) = 20.
Final Reduction: 2 + 0 = 2.
This person is in a Personal Year 2 for 2025.
Locate your number below to see the "Energy" of your current year:
| Personal Year | The Theme | What to Do | What to Avoid |
| 1 | New Beginnings | Start a business, launch a project, take a risk. | Procrastination and self-doubt. |
| 2 | Patience & Pairing | Focus on relationships, wait for results, cooperate. | Forcing things to happen quickly. |
| 3 | Creativity & Socializing | Network, express yourself, have fun, travel. | Scattering your energy too thin. |
| 4 | Hard Work & Roots | Build a foundation, save money, focus on health. | Being lazy or cutting corners. |
| 5 | Change & Freedom | Embrace the unexpected, pivot, try new things. | Staying stuck in a boring routine. |
| 6 | Duty & Family | Focus on the home, heal relationships, serve others. | Ignoring your domestic responsibilities. |
| 7 | Rest & Spirit | Meditate, study, spend time alone, reflect. | Making big material/financial moves. |
| 8 | Harvest & Power | Ask for a raise, lead, claim your rewards. | Being afraid of your own success. |
| 9 | Completion & Ending | Let go of what’s dead, forgive, clean house. | Starting a major new project. |
Many people struggle because they are trying to act against the "Current" of their year.
The Struggle: Trying to start a massive new company in a Year 9. Year 9 is for cleaning the slate, not building a skyscraper.
The Flow: Starting that same company in a Year 1. In a Year 1, the universe provides the "Wind" at your back to help you launch.

"Last year was a Year 4 for me, and it felt like I was working 100 hours a week with no reward. I was so frustrated. Then I realized Year 4 is about 'Building the Foundation.' This year I hit a Year 5, and suddenly everything I built last year is taking off! Knowing the cycle stopped me from quitting when things got tough." — Kabelo D., Johannesburg
Some numerologists believe it starts on January 1st, but most traditional practitioners believe the energy truly shifts on your Birthday. If your birthday is in August, you spend the first half of the calendar year finishing your old cycle and the second half starting the new one.
No. Personal Years are always reduced to a single digit (1 through 9). However, if your calculation adds up to 11 (which reduces to 2) or 22 (which reduces to 4), you will feel a much more "intense" version of that year's theme.
This is normal! If you are in a Year 1 (Action) and they are in a Year 7 (Rest), you just need to communicate. Understanding each other’s cycles prevents fights about why one person is "busy" and the other is "quiet."
If you are moving from a Year 9 (Endings) into a Year 1 (Beginnings), do a physical deep-clean of your house. Throw away old clothes, delete old files, and clear your Ancestral Altar. You want to enter your Year 1 with as much "Empty Space" as possible.
You’ve mastered the 9-Year Cycle. But did you know that your name also carries a "Physical" vibration? Every letter has a weight that affects your health and vitality.
