How 2025 Affects You!

UNIVERSAL YEAR NUMEROLOGY FORECAST 2025

by Carol Adrienne

“Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.--Rainer Maria Rilke

2025— A Year of Awakening

The Universal vibration for 2025 (2+0+2+5) is 9. A major theme of Nine is healing for humanity and the planet. Nine encourages a changing of the guard. Ideally, this natural process of ending and completion weeds out unhealthy beliefs and dysfunctional systems. Nine brings issues to a head, initiating a clearing process—much like a fever that comes before the breakthrough. Things may even deteriorate wildly before eventual rebirth. With that in mind, Nine reminds us that Anything is Possible. Nine reminds us that we all live on this planet together.

NINE THE AMPLIFIER. Since Nine contains all the other numerical vibrations from One to Eight, it is considered the “Universal number.” If you add Nine to any other digit, the resulting one digit number will always be the same root (i.e. 9 + 8 = 17 = 8). The cosmic role of Nine is to awaken, enlarge, amplify, and expand. Look for problems to escalate before they resolve. When thing go well, they go very, very well. Therefore 2025's Universal Nine gives a boost to all of our individual Personal Year plans and efforts (see your Personal Year predictions below). Nine encourages all of us to think bigger, look at the big picture, join in with others to accomplish mighty deeds.

NINE TAKES AWAY. Another vital role that Nine plays is to terminate, close, finish. As a terminating force, Nine often creates a volatile climate for needed change to occur. For example, if a relationship or business is rocky, 2025 will somehow provide an exit, a way out, or a better idea.

NINE GIVES BACK. As one form of cosmic synchronicity, Nine always brings unexpected gifts and light, even when the sky looks dark. How many times have you looked back to see that what seemed a loss turned out to be a gain down the road? Look for this to occur in 2025.

NINE PROVIDES. Nine always brings something (often better) to fill the void of an ending. Nine helps us be hopeful and optimistic, even if our heart has been broken.

NINE IS THE NUMBER OF WISDOM. Nine brings to light issues that humanity must face if we are to continue to live on the Earth. Nine inspires us to use imagination and logic to address that which is ready to end, no longer needed, not right. Despite the seeming chaos or uncertainty in the world, you may sense something new is emerging, struggling to be born—something that is more in line with the times.

END OF A NINE-YEAR BELIEF CYCLE. In 2025 we are coming to the end of a cycle that started in 2017. After the unprecedented restrictions made on our personal and collective lives in the past few years, many people are truly beginning to question everything—especially institutions and governmental authoritarianism. Many are becoming aware of “big-picture Nine issues,” such as big tech's ability to collect personal data, the surveillance of citizens by the deep state; the harm of big Pharma on personal medical practices, and the continuing dominance of transnational corporations. We now even question whether an image or a message is generated by a real person or artificial intelligence.

NINE IS A TIME OF REVIEWING WHAT WE THOUGHT WE KNEW. This year is a time to unhook from narratives that are not in our best interest.

KEY THEMES TO LOOK FOR IN 2025

Love and Compassion vs Hate and Vitriol

Acts of Humanitarianism

Dramatic Global Events, Massive Change to Systems

Coalescing Collective Energy, Group Demonstration

Increased Calls for Unity and Peace

Massive Global Events, Earth Movement, Migration

Forgiveness, Spiritual Awareness, End of an Era

While the total of Nine is the dominant influence in 2025, nuanced qualities also come from the individual digits of 2025:

2 – a millennium striving for peace, respectful co-existence, and planetary balance

0 – an unlimited ability to reach new levels of awareness, understanding, spiritual understanding

2 – a need for diplomacy, cooperation, and understanding rather than force

5 – disruptions, protests against censorship and individual freedoms

9 --Recognizing where change is needed to end the global “endless war” machine, end the control of corrupt institutions, break the hold of corporate media narratives, and work for the good of all humanity in each case

HOW DOES 2025/9 AFFECT YOUR OWN PERSONAL YEAR NUMBER?

First calculate your Personal Year for 2025.

1. Find your Personal Year number by adding your month and day of birth to 2025.
2. Reduce the total to one digit. This one-digit total is your Personal Year Number.
   For example, let's say you were born on October 16. October is the 10^th month, so you would add:
   1+ 0 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 17 (1 + 7) = 8 Personal Year

(Personal Year Cycles are Nine Years long and start over after Year 9. Your Personal Year starts January 1 and ends December 31, no matter what month you were born.)

Personal Year 1 in 2025:

Difficult Beginnings with New Horizons. Yes, you are starting a brand-new nine-year cycle. However, with a 9 Universal Year, things may keep falling apart for awhile. No worries. Begin to explore interests. Opportunity and new friends come from following your curiosity. After your 9 Year in 2024, some obstacles are gone or leaving. You secretly believe that anything is possible. With the support of lucky Universal Year 9, you are given what you need right now. You may have odd moments of synchronicity that help you meet the right people. Each small step, whether or not you achieve results at first, encourages you to feel “I can do this!” With Universal 9 Year at your back, your unique talents find a home. You have strong potential for wage increase, a promotion, a spot in a new venture, or changing your job or career. Lucky Universal 9 may even link you up with someone wealthy or from a different culture. You are determined to tackle your dreams and will find ways to start the ball rolling for better conditions.

Purpose for a 1 Personal Year in a 9 Universal Year is to Plant Seeds for New Growth. This is the year to advance through study, exploration, and challenging yourself in new ways. Stop negative self-talk. Appreciate and build on your strengths, rather than selling yourself short. Start a new project. Upgrade your home. Travel.

Relationships: If a relationship is bad and it's time to leave, you may be able to do that. If not, you strive to change what you can. While you dream of the perfect lover, you also, ironically, like your free time and independence. If single, you may meet someone from another country. Delay marriage until later this year or 2026.

Career: Potential for leadership or rewards. Learn by doing. Trial and error. Doing the impossible. Increase in pay. Conflicts with family time.

Personal Challenges: Possible loss of old friend or family member. Procrastination. Overcoming a bad habit. Becoming more independent to pursue your dreams.

Personal Year 2 in 2025:

Focus on Relationships and Balance. You seem to be thinking often about others—in terms of obligations, commitments, social status. Care-giving may be required. With Universal 9 tending to force an issue towards closure, a breakup may be in the cards. Your 2 Year tends to increase sensitivity to what people say—so try not to take things too personally. Nagging conflicts in friendships, family, or job are not unusual, and help you learn something important about yourself. This is a year to be caring and thoughtful, but not subservient. On the other hand, if more interested in finding companionship this year, do things that you love and don't put pressure on yourself, or try to please your parents. This 2 Year encourages friendships that nourish your soul, not just to fill time. With emotionally dramatic Universal 9, you may go through more than your share of ups and downs this year. Health issues show where you need to lessen stress and create a more balanced lifestyle. Artistic activities are a joy.

Purpose for a 2 Personal Year in a Universal 9 is to Find Love, Joy, and Peace. Everyday acts of kindness uplift and create connection. Listen and learn. Join, serve, share. Bringing more beauty and nature into your life—even in small ways—gives you energy and happiness.

Relationships: Affairs? Breakups? Romantic illusions? All options are open with dramatic Universal 9. Power struggles teach you to set healthy boundaries. Social media could bring up jealousy, FOMO, regrets, or someone who is not who they say they are. Serious decisions regarding parents, marriage, living with in-laws, childbirth, or divorce.

Career: You tend to put off big decisions this year. You are reluctant to confront a higher up. However, Universal 9 may bring an unexpected change or even re-location. May work in home-care, retail fashion, fast food, business administration, hospitality, financial analysis, humanitarian efforts.

Personal Challenges: Loneliness. Anxiety. Self-doubt when comparing to others. Ending a toxic relationship. Trying to please a spouse or hard-headed boss.

Personal Year 3 in 2025:

Creative Joy. You don't have to be an artist or musician to express your passions this year. Everyday life gives you so many chances to be creative. Boosted by cosmically lucky Universal 9, you not only are likely to feel increased vitality and optimism—you may be in a starring role! Even if life doesn't look all that different from last year, expect yourself to be very busy and generally quite happy. Your enthusiasm and positive attitude attracts friends and interesting situations. Universal 9 brings all kinds of upgrades, and increased activities. If over-scheduled or just plain bored you might risk being a little scattered. Set priorities and follow through, as many distractions (social media) are present. Free-lancing may appeal more than routine. You may take off time to start a family or find your passion. If normally shy, you like being more outgoing and spontaneous sometimes. Your friendship circle increases, but don't believe everything you hear. With the super lucky combination of Universal 9 and Personal 3 you have every reason to enjoy one of your best years ever.

Purpose for a 3 Personal Year in a Universal 9 is to be Present in the Moment. Expressing optimism and using intuition and imagination, you uplift others in a domino effect. Simple actions can sometimes have amazing effects on tricky problems. Expect to get more involved with others who share your interests. Commit to doing more of what you are good at.

Relationships: Social life is a high priority now. You could sometimes be popular and overbooked, or suddenly lonely for a close friend. Gossip could cause a problem. A sudden, intense affair may occur. Good time to date, marry, have a child, or find a soulmate friend who shares a creative interest. Money is spent on pleasurable, fashionable activities.

Career: Actually, you might prefer to be on vacation! However, look for success in marketing, hospitality, art, music, fashion, vlogging, travel, driving, part-time work.

Personal Challenges: All talk and no action. Jealousy. Overspending. Feeling artistically blocked. Troubles with a boss. Social media problems.

Personal Year 4 in 2025:

Building a solid base. Normally a 4 Personal Year is a great time to make dreams a reality and make some progress—albeit one step at a time. However, with lucky Universal 9, you may get a cosmic boost or upgrade that outshines your previous plans. With 4's cautious eye on timing, saving for the future, and handling practical responsibilities, you are less likely now to make a big or sudden change, unless forced by circumstances. (which could happen with dramatic Universal 9 beyond your control). If itching for a better situation, you are more likely to adapt to circumstances for the time being, rather than lose what you have. But Universal 9 opens unexpected doors even in this hard-working year. For example, an entry-level or temporary job could surprise with long-term benefits. This year, you tend to use your head more than your heart. Set backs turn out to bring blessings.

Purpose for a 4 Personal Year in Universal 9 is to Keep on the Path and Deal with “What is.” You enjoy being extremely productive this year, and even add some new health practices to your schedule. You have what it takes to step up for new assignments. Be ready to expand your skill set. Hone your talents. Go the extra mile. People will notice. Efforts pay off in the long run. You might have to choose between short-term gains and long-term benefits. Obstacles or hardships bring out the best in you.

Relationships: You may have less time for social or romantic activities because of work or family responsibilities. Generally, you tend to put off personal desires for the benefit of others. You may be caring for an older person or volunteering to help elders. Stubborn or difficult people teach you important lessons about your own personality!

Career: With an emphasis on practicality and expansion, (Personal 4 and Universal 9), you are ready to forge ahead no matter the challenges. Higher ups notice your diligence and commitment—but don't undersell yourself. Take disappointments in stride. Jobs often require stamina, detail-orientation, and good time-management skills.

Personal Challenges: Stress from overbooking, over-working, family pressures, keeping up appearances. See the handwriting on the wall. May be fired or laid off.

Personal Year 5 in 2025:

Uncertainty and potential sudden changes. Ordinarily, a 5 Personal Year exists to shake you out of a mid-cycle rut. Life sometimes becomes so boring that you crave to try new things. Good news! Change is more likely to come your way now. It's very likely that conditions are evolving to provide more flexibility and freedom. Generally in a 5 Year you tend to be influenced by different sorts of people, perhaps online or in groups whose interests you share. With dramatic, surprising, lucky 9 Universal Year, a big change may come to you—requiring you to be brave and resourceful. Five gives you more motivation to take chances, rather than sitting tight. Since conditions may be rapidly changing, haste may cause waste. Be sure to get reliable information before committing to a path. If big changes are not in the cards, at least change small things, like your hair cut, wardrobe, or route to work. This mid-cycle year with lucky Universal 9 helps smooth the path to where you'd like to be in 2026. This is a time to experiment and explore. Life opens up in surprising ways if you let it.

Purpose for a 5 Personal Year in Universal 9 is to Explore, Travel and Experience New Things. This is a year when courage and spontaneity are likely to lead to lucky breaks in career, health, and finances. Embrace a challenge rather than complain. Leave your comfort zone. Do something you never thought you could do. Don't worry so much about what others think. Universal 9 helps you take your talents to a broader audience. You are less likely now to go along with the crowd when it doesn't feel right.

Relationships: With freedom-loving 5 along with super-friendly Universal 9, you are likely to be very busy with all kinds of friends and interests. If a relationship is troubled, you may decide to break up. With sexy 5's spirit of adventure you may be tempted to have an affair or date someone younger (or older and wealthy). You have your secrets.

Career: Work demands may keep you away from home for long periods—even traveling abroad. Success requires being on top of market trends. Look for jobs in travel, construction, hospitality, all kinds of sales, new companies. If you make a mistake, it is soon forgotten in the changing circumstances.

Personal Challenges: Loss of an older family member. Exhaustion. Stress. Missing a golden opportunity. Gambling or alcohol addictions. Love affair with a person in a position of power.

Personal Year 6 in 2025:

Focus on responsibilities and providing for the well-being of others. This is a wonderful year to enjoy loving ties, comfort and security, and a strong sense of meaning and purpose. Powerful Universal 9 calls upon your very soul to be a compassionate force for good. Sound heavy? No worries. Just realize that your skills, love, and enthusiasm are put to good use this year, just by living the life you have. With a stronger commitment to provide, serve, and teach, you may decide to take on an extra job or work as a volunteer somewhere. This year is a great time to find a better living space, marry, start a family, graduate, or start a business. Time and money are likely spent on education, health, domestic items, or caring for parents or offspring.

Purpose for a 6 Personal Year in Universal 9 is to Be a Beacon of Light. A 6 Personal Year is a lively time with community, family, and traditional rituals. You enjoy knowing your place in society and being part of what keeps the important things alive and well. With wise Universal 9 raising your awareness of history and culture, you may decide to take up a traditional art or delve into a community project. You naturally tend to put the needs of others before your own. By the end of the year you feel great satisfaction and gratitude. This years favors teaching, supporting, and learning about the past. Your efforts are well-rewarded by the love and respect of those around you.

Relationships: Family, friends, and a comfortable home are all-important. Under stress or worry, you strive to keep a steady, loving course. Marriage or divorce are major areas of concern, depending on your situation. The absence or loss of a loved one may occur. A past wound is healed and forgiven.

Career: Family tends to be a major concern, but work is usually steady and demanding. You are more likely to stay than leave a job, unless Universal 9 brings a layoff. Likely jobs now favor team work, education, hospitality, food service, healthcare, care-giving, humanitarian work, interior design, and specialty food and wine shops.

Personal Challenges: Taking on the problems of others. Anxiety or depression. Financial strain. Domestic abuse. Very demanding work.

Personal Year 7 in 2025:

Deeply spiritual interests and understanding. In many ways, 2025 will turn out to be a very unusual and deeply moving year. However, at first you may just be craving some downtime. After a challenging 2024—likely filled with domestic concerns or even grief—you are ready for some quiet rest and rejuvenation. Personal Year 7 is a time to rethink priorities. Your needs have changed. You are more in touch with some internal guiding spirit. The outer world and its demand to keep up-- while still competing for your attention-- does not seem all that important anymore. You look forward to your calming personal pursuits. Surprisingly, you are drawn to spiritual reading or even meditation. You are more likely to stop and listen to intuition, and trust that things will work out. As you become more mentally quiet, you choose not to spend much time with negative people and unfulfilling activities. Social media seems less appealing than a quiet walk. Making different choices may result in temporary loneliness, but you come to deeply enjoy time alone and simple pleasures, especially in nature. An interest could become a passion.

Purpose for a 7 Personal Year in Universal 9 is to Become More Philosophical, Wise, and Reflective. With two super powers of spiritual influence (7 and 9), 2025 could be one of your most significant years--even life-changing. While Personal Year 7 brings a craving for simplicity and meaningful connections, Universal 9 demands you listen to the Soul's voice. Seven is often called the Sabbatical Year, so you may find time to delve into an interest, take a study course, or spend time hiking in nature or living in a remote area. You suddenly realize that time is of the essence, and you notice even the petals of the smallest flower. You might now come to understand the deeper purpose for certain events in your life.

Relationships: If an emotional connection is troubled during soulful 7 and Universal 9, you may experience loneliness, separation, or even loss. If single, you are willing to wait for a person who truly resonates. If unhappily partnered, you might need to get away for awhile. Together Personal 7 and Universal 9 can facilitate amazing, unexpected outer events and inner realizations. True love blossoms in an even deeper way.

Career: If you have special expertise under a 7 Personal year you may be well-recognized. However, karma-heavy Universal 9 could snatch a prize from under your nose. Favored jobs are in technology, banking, research, logistics, medicine, surveillance, or specialized positions in a corporation. Delays may bring a better result after all.

Personal Challenges: Periods of loneliness. Feeling you don't fit in. Hiding a mistake. Misplaced trust. Messy divorce or property settlements. Suspicions and secrets.

Personal Year 8 in 2025:

Magic happens! An Eight Year is the most likely year to realize the gains of all your hard work over the last eight years. Additionally, 2025 presents the potent combination of success-oriented Personal 8 in lucky, lucky Universal 9. At times you might feel you've won the lottery—or at least you feel excited and optimistic about life. If a raise doesn't land in your lap, you're ready to ask for one (luckiest around September (8 Personal Month), leading to October (a grand-slam 9 Personal Month). Upgrades or bonuses abound now if your situation has been building positively this cycle, If not, and there are forces beyond your control, Universal 9 could force an utterly unanticipated breakdown. But positively speaking you could not have more fortunate aspects with 8 and 9 in your life. Eight demands that you be smart, committed, and follow through even when the going gets hard. However, remember that amplifying Universal 9 could mean that mistakes are very costly.

Purpose for an 8 Personal Year in Universal 9 is to Bring Successful Material Outcomes: While you can expect any number of great rewards in a job, a project, political standing, or even marriage, the path may not be entirely easy. You must be on your A game. You are dealing with major forces now that bring the need for confidence, intelligence, and political savvy. With amplifying Universal 9, you might get more than one opportunity to advance. Forced changes may improve your future.

Relationships: Money issues play a role in all your relationships—whether from over-spending the budget, investing, inheritance, or at worst, bankruptcy. Unsurprisingly, expenses increase for home, family, education, or business. Especially in Personal 8, you desire to achieve and impress higher ups. However, with amplifying Universal 9, problems, long hours, stress, and risks also increase. Career and personal life may conflict, causing many absences at home. Logical measures are required now, rather than impulsive, overly-emotional actions.

Career: With two super power numbers, you are definitely supported for more leadership. Eight always finds success in business, corporations, financial institutions, hospitals, real estate development, or any kind of management. With 8's ambitious drive, you must be very careful not to overextend your resources into unsustainable debt.

Personal Challenges: Extra expenses. Reputation problems. Working two jobs. Legal problems. Layoff or bankruptcy. Surgical procedures.

Personal Year 9 in 2025:

End of a phase. Here you are in alignment with Universal 9, getting ready to clear the decks for something new! Perhaps you are even completing a karmic task. Especially with Universal 9, events feel “meant to be” in this turning point year. Time seems to be moving faster. Strong feelings come and go throughout the year. Emotionally, you are starting to let go of an out-dated dream or goal, or releasing a negative habit. You may be ready to retire, to quit a toxic job or toxic relationship, or to say goodbye to a loved one. Regrets or estrangements tend to be understood on a deeper level and forgiven. You are uncertain about the future, but hopeful. You crave to clear out the old, pare down. You are thinking about out what truly matters at this point in life. Since September will be a 9 Personal Month, this could be a time of a dramatic ending or move to another place. This important spiritually maturing year requires faith, optimism, and curiosity about what lies ahead.

Purpose for a 9 Personal Year in Universal 9 is to Practice Acceptance, Gratitude, and Forgiveness. You couldn't be better placed to reap rewards emotionally, materially, and spiritually. You are completing a path begun nine years ago, and now the time has come to reflect on lessons learned. Any unfinished business must be completed now, and the way is shown, even though it may be painful in the letting go. People, places, and things that you have outgrown drop away. At times, with emotionally wise Universal 9, you are filled with joy, love, wonderment, and gratitude.

Relationships: With double 9's opening your heart in so many ways, life tends to feel very intense at times. It's okay to cry, to wail, to regret your mistakes. But ultimately—if you give up feeling victimized—you find that the challenges gave you increased compassion for others and even for yourself. A long-standing condition, estrangement, or obstacle may be resolved. A relationship may end. If desiring to marry, wait until next year.

Career: With double forces calling for an end to the phase, you may be more inclined to take your gains and losses and wait for a better time to start something new. This is the time to get clear about what works and doesn't work for yourself. Achieving a lifetime goal or a huge success could quickly turn to a feeling of Great. What's next? On mundane levels, your double 9's suggest jobs that might require large investment, further training, travel or working with foreigners. If you're at the right age, you probably choose to retire.

Personal Challenges: With two dramatic 9's, challenges could be emotional losses. Sometimes 9 brings temporary depression, disappointment, sorrow or loss of faith. You may be struggling to let go of a grudge or feeling the effects of age. Living in a foreign country could be stressful.

Wishing you a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!

How 2024 Affects You!

UNIVERSAL YEAR NUMEROLOGY FORECAST 2024

by Carol Adrienne

IN A NUTSHELL

2024

The Universal vibration for 2024 (2+0+2+4) is 8. The 8 Vibration Highlights Power, Money, Control

In a perfect world, Eight is heralded as productive, success-driven, and an enforcer of justice. As a worldly influence, 8 represents the archetype of material achievement and hierarchical structures. Eight emphasizes the power of money and material resources. Eight is a practical, pragmatic problem-solver, not easily swayed by emotional considerations. Eight manifests brilliantly through rationality, logic, and all kinds of engineering.

Unsurprisingly, in 2024, 8's influence will be seen as ever-increasing globalization. We can expect to see continuing strategies for control by centralized authorities acting together to promote or enforce shared motives. These authorities include governments, financial institutions, the military-industrial complex, and trans-national corporations. Their mouthpiece is the corporate-owned media. Independent news sources with dissenting views, such as podcasts, free of corporate funding, will have a harder time to remain autonomous and monetized, as we have already seen in 2023 with some commentators losing their subscriptions.

While the total of 8 is the dominant influence in 2024, nuanced qualities also come from the individual digits of 2024:

2 – a millennium striving for peace, respectful co-existence, and planetary balance

0 – an unlimited ability to reach new levels of awareness, understanding, spiritual understanding

2 – a need for diplomacy, cooperation, and understanding rather than force

4 – a time for grass roots demonstrations; actions for economic well-being, or against oppression, media censorship, social injustice

8 A time for implementing worthy goals

So how might Eight work through us in the competing agendas of 2024?

Eight will be a challenger and an energizer.

Eight will help many get clear about what matters. Some will feel a call to confront an issue they care deeply about. Others will feel inspired to go for a dream.

The 8 vibration of 2024 has arrived at a pivotal moment in history. Of course life is change. But currently many of us have begun to feel greater tension around policies out of our control.

Eight will increase authoritarian measures.

In world-wide matters, Eight's natural focus on power and control reveals an increasing trend toward top-down authoritarian methods. Corporations grow larger and even more influential than nations. Coalitions of powerful entities grow stronger, and are visible in their influence over health, politics, and news media.

Eight may increase the divide between the haves and have nots.

Eight, intent on keeping the status quo of an established elite few, is motivated to win, sometimes at any cost (the end justifies the means). The mainstream narrative tends to promote things (e.g. drugs) as safe, effective, efficient, or for “the good of the people.” However, people are already becoming more aware of manipulation and wiser in their media choices. In 2024 we will likely continue to see a shift in public perception of corporate narratives designed to promote profit at unprecedented levels. Therefore, 8 in 2024 could see resistance to elite authority, as well efforts from the power structures.

Eight empowers us individually to make needed changes.

Centralized authority (8) uses fear and uncertainty to induce compliance. If there is any gift in the restrictions of the last three years, it is in opening our eyes to the extent to which we will hand over control in matters of personal choice. Global protests and individual experiences show us that our private freedoms are being eroded. For example, corporate land ownership is overtaking small-scale farming in many countries. Evidence abounds on every level that 8's drive to own, control, and regulate is pushing the planet and life on Earth to extreme limits, resulting in conflict, refugee crises, and climate change.

We begin to question media narratives for their underlying agenda.

We can no longer afford to complacently accept media narratives. We must look into things for ourselves—digging to find actual scientific data and educated, expert voices. For example, scientific studies and data have revealed the devastating consequences of lock downs, mandates, and experimental, untested medicines—all of which were presented to us as necessary and truthful.

A vibration of 8 is a beacon for empowerment.

In our individual life, the awakening energy of 8 gives us a chance to consider our own life purpose in the greater scheme of things. Will we take back our power by speaking up, or silently comply?

While you may not be a radical reformer, circumstances may cause you to stand up in a way that is different or that surprises you. Simple, honest conversations could catalyze the power of our collective voice.

On a practical level, certain “8-type” sectors will flourish.

For example, Japan is expected to complete a Mars Moon Rover mission to Phobos, the moon of Mars (engineering, strategy, resource exploration). Japan's per capita income rate is likely to rise from 60000 yen to over 75000 yen. Payment apps are moving us toward a cashless economy (which increases the control for banking and governments). China will complete the world's largest rail system. Production (8's secret power) will increase in environmentally-friendly products such as “green steel,” helping to lessen reliance on fossil fuel. And speaking of power—AI (artificial intelligence—very 8!) robotics will continue to supply speed and power in factories, as well as personal help for disabled people to live more independently.

This is not a time to give up.

Begin to notice recurring thoughts and intuitions. Decide to follow up and explore. Make a commitment. Learn and move on from mistakes. Act when the time feels right. Start again if you need to. Believe in yourself and your right to freedom.

HOW DOES 2024/8 AFFECT YOUR OWN PERSONAL YEAR NUMBER?

First calculate your Personal Year for 2024.

Find your Personal Year number by adding your month and day of birth to 2024.

Reduce the total to one digit. This one-digit total is your Personal Year Number.

For example, let's say you were born on October 15. October is the 10^th month, so you would add:

1+ 0 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 15 (1 + 5) = 6 Personal Year

(Note: Your Personal Year starts January 1 and ends December 31, no matter what month you were born.)

If your Personal Year is 1 in 2024:

Get ready to take off! You are starting a brand new nine-year cycle. In general, a 1 Personal Year starts you thinking in a new direction. You begin to muse about “starting over” or “moving up.” Last year in 2023, during your 9 Personal Year, some avenues may have closed down, or a project ended, bringing feelings of uncertainty, loss, or disappointment. Now, in 2024, you have moments when anything seems possible. With the natural ally of Universal 8, you are ready to take on the world! You find practical solutions to questions or challenges, especially regarding making more money or getting finances in order. Each small step, whether or not you achieve results at first, encourages you to feel “I can do this!.” With Universal 8 Year at your back, you'll find a better way. Look for progress in career, legal settlements, and financial areas. You may link up with important people. You are determined to tackle big changes, start a business, or whack down debt.

Purpose for a 1 Personal Year in an 8 Universal Year: Build feelings of confidence. Try new things if possible. Break away from a toxic situation. Upgrade. Work with purpose.

Relationships: Work may interfere with time for family or dating. Stronger desire for independence. May date a work colleague. Potential for marriage or divorce. Finances are a concern.

Career: Chance for leadership or rewards. Learn by doing. Trial and error. Doing the impossible. Increase in pay. Conflicts with family time.

Personal Challenges: Procrastination or lack of courage may result in lost opportunity. Overcoming obstacles. Ask for a raise. Settle a legal matter.

If your Personal Year is 2 in 2024:

Relationships are the big issue in any 2 Personal Year. With Universal 8, things may take a serious turn. Your personal 2 wants companionship, but Universal 8 puts pressure on your time. You may experience conflicts in friendships and business partnerships. Health issues show where you need to lessen stress. You likely have alternating periods of busyness and slowdown. Remember during the year to check details on important documents. Don't overspend to gain friends.

Purpose for a 2 Personal Year in a Universal 8: Learning. Growing in confidence. Handling finances wisely. Using good judgment.

Relationships: Power struggles can crop up. Must set healthy boundaries, especially around money and schedules. Learn to negotiate and speak up about issues. Serious decisions regarding marriage, home-buying, childbirth, or divorce.

Career: Focus on improving professional status or working with a partner. May be drawn to computer-related jobs, art illustration, medical or psychological research, analysis.

Personal Challenges: Loneliness. Anxiety. Self-doubt when comparing to others. Ending a toxic relationship. Trying to please a hard-headed boss.

If your Personal Year is 3 in 2024:

You are likely to feel more vitality and optimism. Ideas and activities increase, but you may feel scattered. Enthusiasm breeds a new field of opportunities. Universal 8 helps you level up in creative work. You crave freedom, and may earn money from part-time or free-lance work. You are more likely to act spontaneously, meeting just the right person at the right time. Overall, your year should be extremely rewarding and joyful.

Purpose for a 3 Personal Year in a Universal 8: To use your creative talents to solve the world's problems! Expect to get more involved with others who share your interests. Commit to doing more of what you are good at.

Relationships: You may feel very popular at times, or suddenly lonely. Gossip could cause a problem. A sudden, intense affair may occur. Good time to marry, have a child, or find a soulmate who shares a creative interest. Money is spent on pleasurable, fashionable activities.

Career: Favors jobs in marketing, hospitality, commercial art, travel, driving, computer design, entertainment or film industry.

Personal Challenges: All talk and no action. Jealousy. Overspending. Feeling artistically blocked. Troubles with a boss. Social media problems.

If your Personal Year is 4 in 2024:

Appreciate a golden opportunity that may come disguised as a “set back.” Your 4 Year is great for getting results, although you will likely work harder than ever before. You are less likely now to make big or sudden changes unless forced to by circumstances. Rather than move, you most likely find a way to adapt to circumstances for now. An entry-level or temporary job could surprise with long-term benefits. Be a saver and keep finances under control.

Purpose for a 4 Personal Year in Universal 8: To accept “what is.” Apply your talents wherever they are needed. This is a great time to create a solid foundation for the future. Problems or hardships truly bring out the best in you.

Relationships: You may have less time for social or romantic activities because of work or family responsibilities. You tend to put off your personal desires for the benefit of others. May be caring for an older person. A difficult person may require finesse and tact.

Career: With a double emphasis on practicality, (Personal 4 and Universal 8), your goal is stability and security. Hard work and focus pay off hugely, but may carry a small disappointment. Jobs often require stamina, good management skills, and planning.

Personal Challenges: Stress. Taking on too much. Being stubborn or unrealistic. Keeping up appearances. Bankruptcy.

If your Personal Year is 5 in 2024:

Expect many changes. Your life is either full of activities, tight schedules, drama, or, at times, just plain boring. You yearn to make a big leap. You can't stand to be cooped up or waiting on others. You fantasize about living somewhere else, or actually do move. You are more prone to want to try new things, or to change your look. In 2024 you are in the middle of your 9-year cycle—a great time to change what is not working for you. This is a time to experiment and explore. Life opens up in surprising ways if you let it. Plans change with fortunate results.

Purpose for a 5 Personal Year in Universal 8: This is a year when courage and spontaneity lead to upgrades in career, health, and finances. Embrace a challenge. Leave your comfort zone. If you crave more freedom, change your routine. Show others a new side of yourself. Universal 8 helps you be more confident to take your talents to a broader audience. You are less likely now to go along with the crowd when it doesn't feel right.

Relationships: With freedom-loving 5 under pragmatic Universal 8, you weigh the costs of leaving, staying, or committing. Marriage or divorce could happen sooner rather than later. Sexy 5 could find romance at the office (8).

Career: Work schedules tend to be flexible, but demanding. Success may hinge on marketing to a trending market; all kinds of sales, performance, and travel jobs are favored. If you make a mistake, it is soon forgotten in the changing circumstances.

Personal Challenges: Exhaustion. Stress. Procrastinating may result in missing a golden opportunity. Gambling. Love affair at the office.

If your Personal Year is 6 in 2024:

Your focus is on responsibilities and providing for others. Powerful Universal 8 pressures you to push yourself. You may even get a second job, or invest in property or career training. This year is a great time to find a better living space, marry, start a family, graduate, or start a business. Time and money are spent on education, health, domestic items, or caring for parents or offspring.

Purpose for a 6 Personal Year in Universal 8: The combined hard-working energies of 6 and 8 strongly turn your interests toward long-term security, comfort, health, and matters of status. You tend to put the needs of others before your own. By the end of the year you feel great satisfaction and gratitude. This years favors teaching, supporting, nurturing, and saving for the future. Your talents are well-rewarded.

Relationships: Family, friends, and a comfortable home are all-important. In general you strive to keep a steady course and work things out. You are not inclined to rock the boat unless you expect clear improvements. Duties may increase but you are grateful for the chance to serve.

Career: Corporate team work, education, healthcare, law, humanitarian work, interior design, and specialty food and wine are all favored areas now.

Personal Challenges: Taking on the problems of others. Anxiety. Financial strain. Domestic abuse. Problems at work.

If your Personal Year is 7 in 2024:

You want to focus on what's most important. After a challenging 2023—likely filled with domestic cares—you are ready for some rest and rejuvenation. You rethink what you want in life, and crave more peace of mind. You are drawn to spiritual teaching and meditation. You listen to intuition more often. You spend less time on negative people and unfulfilling activities. Despite periods of loneliness, you enjoy time alone and simple pleasures. You crave nature. An interest could become a passion. Losses may unfold in unexpected ways.

Purpose for a 7 Personal Year in Universal 8: This could be a challenging, but spiritually significant, even life-changing, year. Your Personal 7 craves peace and spiritual meaning. Universal 8 demands you show up and accomplish. While working hard to pay the bills, your inner soul is craving time alone to reflect or just be. However, a challenge could reveal a hidden talent. You might understand a deeper purpose for certain events in your life.

Relationships: If love is troubled during soulful 7, you may experience loneliness, separation, or even loss. If single, you are willing to wait for a person who truly resonates. If unhappily partnered, you might need to get away for awhile. Under 8, financial or legal matters may arise.

Career: If you have special expertise, expect a raise. If not, you are ready to do what it takes to move up the ladder. Favored jobs are in technology, banking, research, logistics, medicine, surveillance, or specialized positions in a corporation. Delays may bring a better result after all.

Personal Challenges: Periods of loneliness. Feeling you don't fit in. Hiding a mistake. Misplaced trust. Messy divorce or property settlements.

If your Personal Year is 8 in 2024:

Ideally you are poised to succeed at any level. You have a double dose of success-oriented 8 in both Personal and Universal years. At times you might feel you've won the lottery. If a raise doesn't land in your lap, you're ready to ask for one (luckiest around late September when you also have an 8 month leading to a grand-slam 9 in October). Upgrades abound, but this is not a time to take on more than you can handle. Eight demands that you be smart, committed, and follow through even when the going gets hard. Difficult circumstances may require a tough decision. Plans (or mistakes) could be costly.

Purpose for an 8 Personal Year in Universal 8: After nine eight years of hard work, you are almost at the goal line. While you can expect any number of great rewards in job, health, social standing, even marriage, the path is still not easy. You must be on your A game. Repeated opportunities are likely to show up, advancing you in unexpected ways, albeit with extra work or family duties. Forced changes may improve your future.

Relationships: Love and money could be a problem. Expenses increase for home, family, education, or business. You want to impress, but may work too hard to enjoy the fruits. Career and personal life may conflict. You feel a need to impress higher ups. With double 8's, work tends to be exhausting, or you are often absent from home. Logical thinking is required now, rather than impulsive, overly-emotional actions.

Career: Double 8's definitely signal leadership in all areas of life, as well as work. Eight finds great success in business, corporations, financial institutions, hospitals, real estate development, or any kind of management.

Personal Challenges: Extra expenses. Reputation problems. Working two jobs. Problems with officials. Stress. Surgery, if necessary, gives good results.

If your Personal Year is 9 in 2024:

You sense this is an end of a phase. Things feel “meant to be” in this turning point year. Time seems to be moving faster. Strong feelings come and go throughout the year. Emotionally, you are starting to let go of something. You may be ready to retire, to quit a toxic job or relationship, or to say goodbye to loved one. Regrets or estrangements tend to be understood and forgiven. You are uncertain about the future, but hopeful. You crave to clear out the old, pare down. You think about out what really matters from here on out. A big change or turn of events might arise toward the end of 2024. This year requires faith, optimism, and curiosity about what lies ahead.

Purpose for a 9 Personal Year in Universal 8: You couldn't be better placed to reap rewards of all kinds. You are completing a path begun nine years ago. You know exactly what you need to finish or let go of (a bad habit or something you have outgrown or lost interest in). Expect closures or resolutions in long-standing problems or tricky issues. At times you are filled with joy, love, and a desire to give back.

Relationships: Tend to be more intense, requiring compassion, forgiveness, humility, and unconditional love. A long-standing condition, estrangement, or obstacle may be resolved. A relationship may end. If desiring to marry, wait until next year.

Career: With the powerful logic of 8 in an ending Personal year of 9, the time has come to be clear about what is not working. Achieving a lifetime goal or a huge success could quickly turn to a feeling of What's next? In general, work may involve a large investment, further training, travel or working with foreigners. You may retire, have dramatic wins and losses, or lose interest in an old subject.

Personal Challenges: With dramatic 9, challenges could be emotional. Expect a range from depression and disappointment to sorrow or loss. Loss of faith. Struggle to let go of a grudge. Feeling the effects of age.

Wishing you a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!

How the Universal Year 2023 Affects You!

UNIVERSAL YEAR FORECAST 2023

by Carol Adrienne

“In any situation, be in touch with the present moment.”

--Eckhart Tolle

IN A NUTSHELL

2023

The individual digits of 2023 present a mixed energy vibration alive with intuitive awareness, fluctuating emotional uncertainty, creative expression, and optimism.

The Universal Seven (2023 = 7) points us to the need for staying present in this moment, and points us to the power of listening to inner wisdom.

2 – a millennium striving for peace, respectful co-existence, and planetary balance0 – an unlimited ability to reach new levels of awareness, understanding, spiritual understanding

2 - caution, polarization, desire for healing

3 – creativity, trial and error, optimism, desire to break out of restriction

The total of 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 7

7 - The Universal Year Vibration is the spiritual Seven, which seeks to look at the deeper reasons and purpose behind outer events

Looking back to 2022, it has become clear that the Master number of 22 brought our “normal” life to a sudden and distinct halt in almost every part of the world. This was probably not an accident.

The aftermath and ongoing re-balancing in 2023 and beyond is an opportunity to take advantage of this turning point. No one could have predicted that the Master challenges would come from a tiny, invisible virus, one that had the power to strike fear, bring tragedy, and elicit an authoritarian response world-wide. Now we must see and decide what is most important in life, and, hopefully, use the momentum to shape our world for the better.

How? Interestingly, on an individual and collective level, we have been shaken out of our comfort zone (which is perhaps an illusory idea at best). Twenty-Two produced cultural changes on a scale not even imagined, and set the stage for a radical re-thinking about how to evolve into a more sustainable path.

During the pandemic, people stayed home to work and children stopped attending in-person school. Despite the obvious pain and suffering of those who left the planet and those who grieved their loved ones, the gritty work of adapting to new conditions have already begun. Within even a few months, some benefits (for example, cleaner air with less traffic, to name only the obvious) began to appear. Stories of changes in business were reported constantly, such as in supply chains, food and health delivery, and many others. Twenty-two helped us find inspired solutions to many issues beyond the ones we were “just putting up with.” Now we have a choice whether to rethink and regroup or fall back into sleep.

It was obvious that the fear and uncertainty generated by the pandemic through the agency of the yearly vibration of Master number Twenty-Two also generated a stricter and more authoritarian response from governments and other bureaucratic agencies. The need for freedom from irresponsible mandates, and the need for freedom of speech has already created push back from those protesting against hard line tactics (lock downs, mandates, and corporate agendas).

In 2023, we will continue to deal with the forces that have been established by corporations, corporate-owned media, and governmental institutions. Will we find ways to counter a collective power structure that would strip us of meaning and agency in our individual lives?

Universal Seven is a time of going within to find answers.

HOW 2023 MAY AFFECT YOU

Under the spiritual vibration of Seven, you may notice that you:

--Question authority, rather than believe everything you hear.

--Bring more meaning and enjoyment into your life by accepting others as they are.

--Consider going back to school or developing a specialty.

--Seek out spiritually-evolved teachers, and enjoy learning and sharing positive ideas.

--Get a little more involved in local activities, where you can make a real difference.

--Decide to cut back on time-wasting activities.

--See the futility of hating those with whom you disagree and find areas of commonality.

--Spend more time in nature or artistic pursuits.

--Have moments when you realize that you and others are much greater than any political or cultural label.

HOW DOES 2023/7 AFFECT YOUR OWN PERSONAL YEAR NUMBER?

To answer that question, first calculate your Personal Year for 2023:

1. Find your Personal Year number by adding your month and day of birth to 2023.

1. Reduce the total to one digit. This one-digit total is your Personal Year Number.

For example, let's say you were born on October 15. October is the 10^th month, so you would add:

1+ 0 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 3

1 + 6 + 7 = 14 = (1 + 4) = 5 Personal Year

(Note: Your Personal Year starts January 1 and ends December 31, no matter what month you were born.)

If your Personal Year is 1 in 2023:

You are beginning a new nine-year cycle. In general, a One Personal Year starts you thinking about looking for something new to add to your life, especially if 2022 felt like a closure or wake-up call. You are looking for stimulation and freedom. Success makes you feel more confident and courageous. If looking for a corporate career change, you may link up with a prestigious, forward-thinking organization. More likely you have an intense desire to start your own business or change career to something very different.

Purpose for a 1 Personal Year: Explore. Innovate. Adapt to new conditions. Break away.

If your Personal Year is 4 in 2023:

This is likely a very hard-working year. You are less willing to make big changes in 2023, not wanting to lose what you have already gained. Listen to intuition if you feel that it's not the right time to move. You may work two jobs, or permanently work from home. A temporary situation could offer long-term benefits. Be flexible but prudent. Your living situation could be disrupted. While a change may take longer than desired, you are ultimately better-off. Financial losses may occur if not careful.

Purpose for a 4 Personal Year: To create a solid foundation; become more stable and self-sufficient; make good use of time and opportunities. Rethink or commit to a goal; upgrade.

A relationship may break up or you decide to wait. You may experiences odd shifts of fate, synchronicities, and coincidences. Could be a fantastically successful year and full of surprises. Do your home work before making a major move.

Purpose for a 5 Personal Year: This is a year to make those adjustments and changes you've been craving. Perhaps you are drawn to experience something new. Don't be afraid of a challenge that takes you out of your normal comfort zone. You crave more freedom, and want to show others a new side to yourself. You may have new confidence to take your talents to a broader audience. You feel a new you emerging at certain times, and are less likely to just go with the crowd when it doesn't feel right.

Relationships: With Universal Seven and Personal Five, desire for freedom may lead to separation; potential for exciting new friendships; may decide to face personal issues, such as addiction, unhealthy habits, or work burnout.

Career: Favors part-time or self-employment; on-line sales; picking up new skills; trial-and-error.

Personal Challenges: Don't ignore your intuition. Resistance to change or procrastination may lead to missed opportunities. Don't try to hide mistakes. Look for the silver lining in setbacks.

If your Personal Year is 6 in 2023:

Your focus tends to revolve around love, family, and community. With Universal Seven you might find a way to share your wisdom through teaching and healing. Despite periodic money worries, your needs are provided for. Your year holds high potential for weddings, births, graduations, caring for a parent. With Seven, you may decide on a marital separation for awhile. Expenses are spent for education, health, offspring.

If your Personal Year is 7 in 2023:

You want to simplify and find more meaning in life. After a challenging 2022—likely filled with domestic cares—you are ready for some rest and rejuvenation in 2023. You are prone to rethink what you want in life. With the added energy of Universal Seven, you feel inclined to listen to intuition, and trust that things will work out. With such strong spiritual emphasis of your double Sevens, you may have a deeply satisfying year. However, if career or relationships change, you may have more time to yourself. A deeply personal or esoteric interest could become a passion. This is a year to be especially cautious about promises made that could be broken.

Purpose for a 7 Personal Year: To discover something meaningful. Time to focus on yourself, rather than try to meet the needs of everyone else. You see a deeper purpose for what happens.

Relationships: Possible loss or separation. Soulful connections. Learning to be alone and not be lonely. Attracted to a guru or spiritual community. Meeting someone with common interests.

Career: Sabbatical. Education. Technical training. Award for innovative work. Spiritual focus.

Personal Challenges: Feeling lonely or isolated. Secrets. Overworking or lethargy.

If your Personal Year is 8 in 2023:

You are striving to make progress in material matters. However, with secret-revealing Universal Seven, you may be surprised by an unexpected opportunity, job loss, or financial problem. Financial and real estate deals might be less profitable than first thought. If past finances have been troubled, 2023 could force things to a head, with possible business closure or even bankruptcy. Unethical people must be avoided at all costs.

Purpose for an 8 Personal Year: This is the time in your nine-year cycle to reap your hard-won rewards. Your position may improve, or you are given more leadership opportunities. Success now comes from hard work over long periods, but may bring unexpected challenges as well. You may be forced to make needed changes for long-term stability.

Relationships: Your love life may involve power struggles or money and legal complications. Expenses for home, family, or business increase. A career decision may cause conflict with family. You may be working too hard, or too often absent from home. You may be trying to impress higher ups.

Career: Favors leadership. Working for corporation or government. Law. Medicine. Banking. Real Estate. Big changes, such as either a lay-off or a promotion in 2023. Could be buying or selling a business.

Personal Challenges: Over-working. Stress. Unrealistic goals. Lack of due-diligence.

If your Personal Year is 9 in 2023:

Your internal clock says it's time to review, complete, expand, or retire. The sabbatical aspect of Universal vibration 2023/7 loves your “finishing” Personal Year Nine. This combination could be tremendously life-changing. You may be presented with an amazing opportunity. At times your Nine vibe will bring strong feelings. You may go through periods of exaltation, altruism, generosity, or deep loss and grief, depending on your situation. In 2023, events might feel “meant to be.” While Nine may take away certain people, places, or things, you feel this is a turning point in your life. Your heart tends to rule over your head. Regrets, estrangements, or other causes of stress may now be understood and forgiven.

Purpose for a 9 Personal Year: To complete a phase of growth and effort started nine years ago. To clear away or let go of what you have outgrown, or in which you have lost interest. To acknowledge what has heart and meaning for you and find more of that. To prepare for a new part of your identity to emerge.

Relationships: Tend to be more intense, spurring compassion, forgiveness, humility, and unconditional love. A long-standing condition, estrangement, or obstacle may be resolved. If a relationship has problems, distance may grow between you for awhile.

Career: Humanitarian interests. Favors working for the benefit of others. Involved in large-scale, challenging projects. Success. Retirement. Dramatic wins and losses.

Personal Challenges: Sorrow. Depression. Being scammed. Loss of faith. Holding a grudge.

In conclusion, 2023 will bring—for each of us in our own way—an opportunity for a new level of spiritual awakening.

Wishing you a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!

How the Universal Year 2022 Affects You!

2022 UNIVERSAL YEAR

by Carol Adrienne

“Courage...is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life, with all its sorrows, is good; that everything is meaningful, even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.”

--Dorothy Thompson, Journalist

IN A NUTSHELL

The digits of 2022 indicate

2 – a millennium striving for peace, respectful co-existence, and planetary balance

0 – an unlimited ability to reach new levels of awareness, understanding, spiritual understanding

22 – a Master Number called the Master Builder. In the big picture, 2022 should be a time for humanity to make outstanding progress, especially in environmental sustainability and other global issues. The concept of Mastery suggests that wisdom, skill, and inventiveness are likely to be more available. Twenty-Two tells us “It's time to get serious and get it together.”

The “Master” Number Twenty-Two may sound grand. However, living under a Twenty-Two will demand vision, commitment, and effort. Twenty-Two is associated with mastery because it combines both practical, commonsense energy with a highly intuitive, dynamic, and unbelievably creative force.

The year 2022 will likely be remembered as a turning point. Despite continued global challenges, we will also see surprising, positive changes. Twenty-Two builds critical mass, which could result in seemingly super-fast, fantastic progress in areas formerly stalled (e.g., climate change?).

Twenty-Two needs scale and effective networks to produce unique and higher-level results. For example, in mundane terms, those involved in networks, such as supply chains, health delivery, and business will be in a position to create inspired solutions that are better than the ones we were “just putting up with.”

On the polar opposite side, Twenty-Two could also mean an increase in crime, institutional failures, or push-back demonstrations about governmental hard line tactics (lock downs, mandates, and corporate propaganda).

The Universal Year vibration of 2022 is Six

(2 + 0 + 2 + 2 = 6)

Six is the number associated with responsibility, family ties, community-building, and sharing knowledge for the good of all. Six's approach to problem-solving is conservative (rather than wildly risk-taking). Six is a time for increasing one's security and well-being. However, if one is already feeling vulnerable for some reason, Six could also be a time of periodic anxiety.

At its best Six promises us a quieter and more “normal” year. However, work and family demands may also increase. With three digits of partnership-oriented Two in 2022, we may see an uptick in marriages.

HOW 2022 MAY AFFECT YOU

No matter what your own Personal Year is in 2022 (see description below), you might notice tendencies to

• Desire more love and friendship.
• Look for better work/life balance.
• Commit to a relationship, heal a long-standing family issue.
• Learn a new system, language, physical practice, hobby, or technical skill.
• Do something about issues long on your mind.
• Get more involved in environmental efforts, or make changes to your diet and buying habits.
• Participate in coordinated efforts with people who may have different backgrounds.

HOW DOES 2022/6 AFFECT YOUR OWN PERSONAL YEAR NUMBER?

To answer that question, first calculate your Personal Year for 2022:

Find your Personal Year number by adding your month and day of birth to 2022.

For example, let's say you were born on October 15. October is the 10^th month, so you would add:

1+ 0 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 2

1 + 6 + 6 = 13 = (1 + 3) = 4 Personal Year

(Note: Your Personal Year starts January 1 and ends December 31, no matter what month you were born.)

If your Personal Year is 1 in 2022:

You are beginning a new nine-year cycle. In general, a One Personal Year starts you thinking about looking for something new to add to your life, especially if you have had a big change in 2021 that felt like a closure. You are looking for stimulation and freedom, and want to feel more confident and independent. If looking for a corporate career change, you may link up with a forward-thinking organization. If you are thinking of starting your own business, you will succeed if you can meet many potential bureaucratic requirements. Whatever you do, under the security-oriented Six of 2022, you may have to handle family expectations that limit your ability to be a totally free spirit. Under Twenty-Two's rigorous process, you must also be prepared to clean up any financial problems.

Purpose for a 1 Personal Year: Explore. Innovate. Adapt to new conditions. Break away.

Relationships: Work out issues around independence and commitment. New friendships.

Career: Leadership roles. Learn by doing. Trial and error. Doing the impossible.

Personal Challenges: Courage. Believing in yourself. Going for a dream. Procrastination.

If your Personal Year is 2 in 2022:

Relationships will be a source of joy and also concern. With your personal Two resonating so strongly with 2022, you may experience changes in friendships and partnerships. Health issues create a desire for work/life balance. You likely have alternating periods of busyness and slowdown. In general, check details on important documents. Be alert for con artists, scammers.

Purpose for a 2 Personal Year: Learning. Sharing. Loving. Caring. Letting things unfold.

Relationships: Focus is on love, understanding, reciprocity. Healthy boundaries. Indecision.

Career: Focus on helping professions, art, hospitality, fashion, sales, research, analysis.

Personal Challenges: Anxiety, self-doubt. Breaking free of toxic relationship. Procrastination or illegal activity. Interest in cults. Deception. Worry about someone else.

If your Personal Year is 3 in 2022:

You may make a creative breakthrough, feel happier, healthier, have a child. Income or free time may increase or be sporadic. You are more likely to act spontaneously, being in the right place at the right time and meet helpful people. With the responsibility influence of Universal Six from 2022, you may be caught up in family matters, teaching, or child care. Overall, your year should be extremely rewarding and joyful. (Caveat: be very cautious about gambling or any get-rich-schemes.)

Purpose for a 3 Personal Year: To use imagination; create, experiment; develop talents and interests.

Relationships: Instant attraction, love affairs; uncertainty; surprises; dating or performing via social media.

Career: Favors hospitality jobs, travel, driving, fashion, sports, media, sales, part-time work.

Personal Challenges: All talk and no action. Jealousy. Lying. Overspending. Not able to socialize easily. Feeling blocked.

If your Personal Year is 4 in 2022:

This is likely a very hard-working year. You are very risk-averse in 2022, not wanting to lose what you have already gained. You may feel that it's not the right time to make a big move. You may work two jobs, or permanently work from home (the Universal Six loves to work from home). A temporary situation could offer long-term benefits. Be flexible but prudent. Your living situation could be disrupted, but ultimately better-off. Financial matters could be a problem if things have slid too far in the past.

Purpose for a 4 Personal Year: To create a solid foundation; become more stable and self-sufficient; make good use of time and opportunities. Rethink or commit to a goal; upgrade.

  Relationships: Commitment. Choose wisely. Get married. Enjoy new and positive people.

Career: Practical choices. Keep up with new developments; develop a product or service.
