They say that on St. Patrick’s Day, everyone is Irish! But, is everyone lucky? It is also said that we make our own luck, but, what exactly does that mean? To my understanding, it is those people who take advantage of their resources, skills, assets and trends that are the most successful, or that appear to be the most “lucky.” This means that, essentially, success is more a matter of self knowledge and self respect than about luck. A confident, self aware person can turn a challenging, and even seemingly impossible situation into an opportunity for growth and learning. Now that’s making your own luck! Let’s see how the numbers can help you increase your luck and success potential this year by taking full advantage of the opportunities available in your Personal Year number.
To calculate your Personal Year number, first reduce the numbers of your birthday and month and the calendar year to a single digit, then calculate the sum of these three numbers. For example, for a birthday on June 12th, calculate the Personal Year for 2010 as follows:
- Birth Month: June, 6th month
- Birth Day: 12, 1 + 2 = 3
- Calendar Year: 2010, 2 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 3
- Add the results for the Month, Day and Year: 6 + 3 + 3 = 12.
- Reduce the total to a single digit: 1 + 2 = 3. The Personal Year number for 2010 is 3.
Each of the 9 years has its own climate and tendencies. Much like planting tomatoes in June is more likely to produce a healthy harvest than planting them during a January frost, choosing activities that are appropriate for your current trends will increase your chances of success during that year. Let’s see how you can take advantage of your trends for this year.
1 Personal Year
This is the year for making adjustments to your life journey. If you veered off course last year, a 9 Year, now is the time to get back on track. It is a time of new beginnings, renewed energy, inspiration and courage, and your main focus is likely to be yourself. This is the year for redefining you. You’ll have plenty to answer for in the next year, so best be nice to those who matter! This year, make your own luck by taking charge of the direction of your life!
2 Personal Year
Personal and business partnerships and relationships typically come to the fore in a 2 Personal Year. A certain amount of flexibility is required as new projects begun last year begin to take shape. This is probably the year in which more marriages are made, and ended than in any other year. Having focused on yourself and your needs in the previous year, you are now ready to share the journey with a special partner. You are open to the shared experience more than at any other time now. Your luck is found in your willingness to be receptive and cooperative.
3 Personal Year
This is a social year, and is ideal for networking and broadening your connections and contacts, both personally and professionally. If you have not yet met the love of your life, at least you can enjoy parties, events, shows, fun outings and social events of all kinds. This is a great year for participating in dance, theater, music or any arts-related activity. Do what you enjoy. Although this can be a fun-filled year, be aware of a tendency to become scattered. Stay focused. Avoid frivolous expenses. Luck is found in your optimism and joie-de-vivre!
4 Personal Year
This is the time to focus on work, home, family, and the basic business of life. This is the year for getting organized, and laying down the foundations for those projects you wish to accomplish. Although things may appear to move slowly, if you remain focused on your long term goals, much progress can be made this year. Basically, you will find luck by focusing on the issues at hand. Oh, don’t forget to get some exercise; stretching would be good.
5 Personal Year
This is a time of change, adventure, and new experiences. It is a great year for expansion and for marketing. Try new ways of marketing yourself and your business; explore new ways of doing things, all things. Break up the routine that may have settled in on you last year. You feel the need for freedom. This is the time to take a little risk, and to break free.
6 Personal Year
This is a time of balance, harmony, and relationships. A lot of relationships are solidified in the 6 Year. Also, very often families are started in a 6 Year. This is a time of added responsibility, and this can come in many forms. Starting a family being one of them. Work out relationship difficulties if you want to experience peace and harmony with your partner. You could move up the corporate ladder as you accept the responsibilities that come your way.
7 Personal Year
This is a year in which you are focused more on the inner life than at any other time. You are attracted to intellectual issues, study, meditation, thinking, and generally all activities that require isolation. If you are in a relationship, try to engage your partner in the mystical matters that are preoccupying your mind. Much progress can be made if you apply yourself to problem solving and to honing your skills through education and study. A time of reflection.
8 Personal Year
This is the business, money and career year par excellence! As your 9 year cycle peaks, your main focus is on personal and professional accomplishment. This is the time to bring it home, focus on going all out with the attainment of your goals. Many people make important career decisions in a number 8 Personal year. This is a power year.
9 Personal Year
This is a critical time, having an important impact on the life in general, from personal relationships to career and profession. It is a time of endings, and very often, unsatisfactory relationships, jobs, careers, occupations will come to an end in a 9 Personal Year. This is a time of healing, release, and relinquishing any outstanding grievances and all outdated baggage. This is a time of letting go in order to prepare for a new beginning next year. Rest, mend, release.
