The Personal Year cycle is 9 years long.  A 1 Personal Year is the beginning of the cycle, and a 9 Personal Year is the completion of all the work you did in the past 9 years.   After your 9 Personal Year, your next year begins again with 1.

Personal Year 1         New Directions
Personal Month  6        Commitments

WORK:     The uncertain feeling of last month has gone, and now you see exactly what needs doing.  You are likely to be pulled into a team or project where your ability to smooth out ruffled feelings is essential.  You feel a bit distracted by family concerns.  If unemployed, turn your free time towards refreshing your living space.
LOVE:     If single, you are starting to think about how nice it would be to come home to a cozy companion. If in love, you are definitely thinking long-term now—this is a great month for weddings.  If married, practical issues need addressing—dripping faucets and help with the kids’ homework. Your mate may need attention (or you suddenly have to take up the slack, if your mate is away.) Changes in finances may bring cut-backs.
PERSONAL:    Despite your many duties, life brings joy. It’s a good time to be thankful for whatever is in your life. Yes, you are busy, but try to take an hour or two for yourself this weekend.
AVOID:     Feeling that you have to solve everything.  Own your part of any situation or conflict and then see what happens.
FOCUS:     Determination and right action. The accent is on new developments in marriage, family, responsibility, security, and friendship.

Personal Year 2        Relationships
Personal Month  7        Reflection and Renewal

WORK:     A frustrating week in many ways, yet there is a purpose for these delays.  Review your work, play phone tag, but call when you feel the time is NOW. It’s more about the people at work than the work itself.  Your pal may be out of the office; or the interviewer for that job called to say—wait. 
LOVE:     You have a tendency to hide your feelings this week with the one you love.  If single, this is one of those weeks to be alone but not be lonely.  Do what makes YOU happy. 
PERSONAL:  This is still an excellent week to go to the library or buy a spiritual book.  Your intuition is still talking to you. If confused, write out your big question—then ask yourself, Am I asking the right question? Time for stillness, observation, and gratitude.
AVOID:     Negative people.  Don’t start eating to stuff down your feelings.
FOCUS:      The theme of this 7 Personal Month is redefining what you really want, reading, research, walking, and thinking.  Also, you are wondering how to stay connected in a relationship while preserving time and space for yourself.


Personal Year 3         Communication
Personal Month 8        Career and Financial Improvement

WORK:      Work tends to be busy and you feel productive.  The secret is to negotiate with firmness on key elements, and be patient.  You wish you could work without interference, but may have to incorporate ideas you don’t necessarily agree with.  Unemployed people get hopeful news.
LOVE:     It’s possible things are getting serious with that person you thought of as a friend. This is an excellent time for engagements or weddings.  Married people have to confer on their finances and make some decisions about vacation plans.
PERSONAL: Quiet confidence. Update your resume, review your finances and start a new savings plan.
AVOID:     Being too harsh. (Still true) be kind and generous—but stay firm.
FOCUS:      This is an 8 Personal Month.  The theme is power—or not giving your power to others you think are more important.  Your other theme, of course, is money.


Personal Year 4        Building
Personal Month  9        Completion and Expansion

WORK:     New possibilities start to emerge.  A project grows larger, but briefly stalls  Not to worry.  If looking for work, give yourself another 3 weeks before accepting an offer (unless this one is too good to pass up, which it could be!)
LOVE:     Romance and deep connection are happening now—in your mind or in your bedroom?  Love your lover, pet, child, grandmother, or cab driver—it’s all love, isn’t it?
PERSONAL: Emotions run deep—your imagination is strong.  You could almost write a novel! 
AVOID:     Letting this emotional storm become permanent!  What about the past can you let go of?  Can you burn that box of old journals?
FOCUS:     This is your 9 Personal Month.  The emphasis is on completion, clearing, release—and expansion. A philosophical attitude calms the mind.

Personal Year 5         Changes
Personal Month (May) 1    New Directions

WORK:      This is your 1 month!  The green light you’ve been waiting for.  Things will pick up even more next week, so starting visualizing what you want. It is definitely coming. Unemployed people become employed this month.
LOVE:     Expect a change in a close relationship.
PERSONAL:  Express yourself in a relationship without the need to control or convince.
AVOID:      Procrastination. 
FOCUS:     Since this is your 1 month of new directions and beginnings, look forward, and take action when it feels right.

Personal Year 6        Responsibility   
Personal Month  2        Relationship

WORK:    Wow, do you feel bogged down or overworked or overlooked!  You’ve been so focused on making sure every i is dotted, you forgot to go home!  Yes, you’ve been a stellar employee, but don’t overdo the midnight oil.  Unemployed people may have better luck with job news next week—make the best of this slowdown.
LOVE:      Love, or lack of it, is still a concern--whether single, married, or going steady.  Affection feels so good.  If single spend a fun time with a good friend and discuss your life goals. Oddly enough, it’s a great time for a wedding—yours or another’s!
PERSONAL:  Take time to contact someone you care about (still true.) Get a pedicure or haircut.  A smile works wonders this week.
AVOID:      Negative self-criticisms.  Don’t forget that you have exactly what you need for the direction your are headed. 
FOCUS:     This is your 2 Personal Month, which means it’s time to fall in love again, build up connections with friends, let art and music inspire you, or join a group you care about. 

Personal Year 7        Reflection and Regeneration
Personal Month  3        Creativity and Fun

WORK:      A great time for getting projects or proposals accepted.  Clients see your point of view!  Expect increases in your finances by month’s end.  Be creative.  If stuck somewhere, consider if you are asking the right question.
LOVE:     Your partner may surprise you with a little something extra this week.
If married, have a date this week.  If single, you are surprised by an invitation.  This is your weekend to meet someone new! (still true.)
PERSONAL:     Where is your sense of humor!!  It’s time to lighten up.  Go to the zoo, for heaven’s sake.  Take a little one with you, and notice how joyful life can be.
AVOID:      Feeling jealous or envious of someone’s good news. 
FOCUS:      The theme of this 3 Personal Month is joy, self-expression, and creativity.

Personal Year 8        Focused Effort
Personal Month  4        Follow-through

WORK:      This is an excellent week to see results—although there is one small part you might need to rethink.  You have a schedule and a plan, and you are working it!  Unemployed people will receive an offer on a job they could do in their sleep.
LOVE:     This could be the week you pop the question, or re-pop it!  Great time for commitments, weddings, (or marriage counseling--if you need it, why not?)
PERSONAL:    Planning, completing, and organizing give you a GREAT feeling.
AVOID:     All work and no play.
FOCUS:     This 4 Personal Month is a pivotal month for your success later in the year.  Be practical and think ahead.

Personal Year 9        Completion and Expansion
Personal Month  5        Unexpected change

WORK:     Business travel is almost certain this week—or lots of meetings around town.  Expect changes in everything you thought was settled.  This is a highly volatile time.  While you feel uncertain, let go of anxiety by taking a walk at lunch.  Unemployed people get interviews, but are kept waiting. 
LOVE:     This could be the hottest sexual week of the year!  Or it could be you just can’t pin your loved one down to a commitment.  If single, you may be dating more than one person; it’s a time to explore and try something new.  Be frisky.
PERSONAL:  If only you had a plan, you wail!  Hey, enjoy this freedom, and take advantage of the moment.  Let yourself be surprised.
AVOID:     Making long-term commitments just yet (still true.)
FOCUS:      This is your 5 Personal Month—a time for changes, new experiences and expanding your social circle.
