What if you stopped judging where you are and started understanding the season you’re in? In this episode, we explore the wisdom of Personal Year Numbers and how they help us work with life’s natural rhythms instead of pushing against them. Personal Year Numbers are part of a repeating nine-year cycle, with each year carrying a distinct theme—from new beginnings and growth to reflection, healing, and release. We begin by breaking down what a Personal Year Number is, how the nine-year cycle works, and why 2026 carries the collective energy of a 1 year, a time of initiation, fresh starts, and new directions. We also share a simple way to calculate your own Personal Year Number so you can begin working with this practice immediately. How to calculate your Personal Year Number: Add your birth month + birth day + the digits of the current year (2+0+2+6), then reduce the total to a single digit (1–9). Example: March 12 → 3 + 12 + 10 = 25 → 2 + 5 = 7. Each Personal Year carries its own invitation: • 1 — New beginnings, leadership, fresh starts • 2 — Patience, relationships, emotional awareness • 3 — Creativity, expression, joy, connection • 4 — Foundations, structure, discipline, stability • 5 — Change, freedom, movement, expansion • 6 — Responsibility, home, healing, care for others • 7 — Reflection, inner work, spiritual growth • 8 — Power, abundance, achievement, authority • 9 — Completion, release, forgiveness, endings We’re then joined by our client Amanda, who shares her lived experience working with Personal Year Numbers year over year and how this practice has shaped her decisions, softened self-judgment, and helped her trust the unfolding of her life. This conversation is about honoring cycles, releasing hustle culture, and learning to meet yourself with more compassion and clarity, right where you are. ✨ Perfect for anyone navigating change, craving alignment, or wanting to live with greater intention and trust in their own timing.
