How to Calculate Your Personal Year Number

The formula is simple:

Take your birth month and birth day.
Add them to the current calendar year.
Reduce the total to a single digit (unless it’s 11 or 22, which are Master Numbers).

Example:
If you were born on April 5 (04/05) and want to know your Personal Year for 2025:

Add: 0 + 4 + 0 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 18
Reduce: 1 + 8 = 9

So 2025 is a 9 Personal Year for you.

✨ Tip: Your Personal Year Number changes every January 1st and lasts until December 31st.
