Each of your nine PERSONAL YEARS (a recurring cycle of development) has specific purposes.

Each PERSONAL YEAR helps facilitate your thinking, motivation, and actions in line with your purpose in life.

Each PERSONAL YEAR presents unique opportunities for learning and growth. After each Nine Personal Year, you start over with the next cycle and another One Personal Year.

Personal years are in effect from January 1 through December 31, of each year, regardless of when your birthday occurs in the year.

To find your PERSONAL YEAR for 2021:

Add your MONTH and DAY of birth to 2021.

For example, if your birthday is October 13^th,

Month 1 + 0 + Day 1 + 3 + 2021 =

1 + 4 + 5 = 10 (1 + 0) = 1 Personal Year in 2021

Personal Months are for May

SAVORING. With a Six vibe this month, domestic tranquility may be a priority. With an urge to make progress in your One year, you may be very busy this week.

You may enjoy having or going to a yard sale.

People may be pressing you for answers or for a response to a situation. A conversation that turns a bit edgy could shed some light on where you stand on an issue. Circling around different scenarios might be keeping you up at night, but clarification is likely to come this week or soon. With a domestic Six vibe, you could be caring for relatives, preparing for a family gathering, attending a function, or gardening. If a pet parent, you might be visiting the vet, or thinking of taking home a rescue animal. In general, you feel deeply grateful for the good things in your life.

If pondering a question, try automatic writing. Start with a question such as, “What do I need to know about moving to Seattle? (or whatever). Start the pen moving. Trust that this playful interaction with your intuition has some truth to give you. Have faith that things are working out behind the scenes.

Relationships provide lots of food for thought. If living with someone, one of you might be absent. If living alone, moments of loneliness could be balanced by a bit of self-pampering, reading up or listening to new info on YouTube. Be careful that you don't let negative people drain your energy, and protect your alone time. FOCUS ON: Flowers. Sunsets. Music. Art and nature walks.

If engaged, you might already be honeymooning. If married, you could be having talks about starting a family, paying for college, or refinancing your house. Use ingenuity to work around a seeming obstacle or deadline. If dating, you could meet someone on the job. Avoid getting embroiled in chasing rumors or sinking into negative thinking.

With practical Four wanting you safe and settled, you are thinking about next steps that lead to real, significant improvement. An unexpected compliment validates what you've been thinking about.

During this somewhat emotional period, you could have mixed feelings about a relationship, or be bursting with joy about the future. On the other hand, nagging muscular or stomach pains may increase due to stress. Get back to a favorite pastime. AVOID: Ruminating on the past; too much alcohol.

PROGRESS. This could be a ground-breaking week. Look more deeply into things that seem to be capturing your attention lately.

Up your energy level by finding the positive. Release tendencies for self-criticism and doubt. Emails and phone calls could bring opportunities.

When you feel good about yourself and your life, others benefit, as well. An attitude of gratitude, plus good weather, help increase happiness. What’s not to love about your life? Love it anyway. Listen to your heart as much as to your head. Avoid either procrastinating or forcing something ahead of its time. In other words, take care of business, but don't push the river.

LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE. With a security-focused Six year and a sensitive Two month, you could be facing a complex issue. Reassess if you really need to get involved. As in, “If it ain't broke, don't fix it.” Patience, holding your tongue, and keeping a sense of the absurd could be best now. You may be able to get in touch with someone who has been away. You could be a bit disappointment by a comment or new piece of information.

If you or your mate have been extra busy, make time for relaxation and fun this weekend. Remember why you fell in love. If dating you are likely to be getting more serious, but still have questions.

PERSUASION. Recent events may have pulled you into a slightly tricky situation. A part of you thinks it's a bit silly, and another part just hopes it will all go away. Distractions could thwart good intentions. If so, your unconscious might understand that this is not the right time to take action anyway. With spontaneous, curious Three this month, you could be taking off on a short trip, buying new digital devices, or attending a conference or function. Vacation dreams (likely or not) include taking hikes, planning a future bicycle tour, enjoying online performances, or remembering a stroll you took one time in a piazza in Italy.

Not in the mood for dull routine, go ahead and treat yourself to time with your hobby, golfing, fishing, or just a walk around a new neighborhood.

DEVELOPMENT. Both your Eight year and Four month are pressuring you to make some headway now, and not lose ground. An expert is likely to provide encouragement for a plan, or offer good advice. You could be dealing with issues involving finances and contracts with a personal or professional partner. If unsure what to do, let things jell until you sense a green light. Don't make a commitment that you know in your heart is not in full integrity.

The combination of your practical, commonsense Four and Eight influences this week tend to make you a little cautious when spending or planning for the future. Emotionally, you would prefer to nail down options, rather than be in limbo, but keep a Plan B, just in case. . FOCUS ON: Finding joy in in the moment.

This lively period may bring travel for business or pleasure. You are likely to be sharing ideas, giving a presentation, joining a demonstration, or trying to convince people of the need for change.

Your Nine Year is wrapping up a phase, especially noticeable in this active, unpredictable Five vibe. Restless, you crave freedom and action. Things are not always what they seem now. You and a friend or lover could suddenly be at odds. See if you can create a safe place and time to clear the air. While this period can bring breakups, be sure to let emotions cool before making a decision. With so many volatile forces around you now, it's probably best to avoid making (new) long-term commitments just yet. FOCUS ON: Surprising yourself by being open to trying something new.
