Do You Know Your Personal Year Number In Numerology? Here's How To Find It

Here's how to find yours, plus what each personal year cycle represents.

Your personal year cycle represents the cyclical patterns, themes, and energy you will experience each year, according to numerologist and author of You Are Cosmic Code, Kaitlyn Kaerhart.

You can use your personal year number to chart your growth, for instance, determine what projects to focus on, and know when to take action versus when to rest. The personal year cycle you're in can also help you understand the best times for dealing with love and money, when you're most magnetic, and more, Kaehart explains.

Then, add up your three single digits (in the case of the December 14 birthday, it would be 3 + 5 + 7, which equals 15. From there, 1 + 5 = 6, so this birthday would be in a personal year 6 in 2023.

During personal year 1 cycles, you might find it a bit more difficult to nurture your relationships, as you prioritize yourself and what you want to do. This can be a very liberating time, but it can also be lonely—the purpose of this year is ultimately to help you connect deeper with yourself.

During a personal year 2 cycle, you might find it easier to make friends and get along with people in general, and it's also a good year to foster romantic relationships as well. Patience is a virtue during this cycle, especially to avoid the stress that can come during this year.

During a personal year 3 cycle, you may also find you're particularly interested in different hobbies or expressing yourself, just be careful to avoid so much information that it scatters your mind.

While this time period might not be the most exciting or free-spirited, it is action-packed in the sense that you'll be striving hard toward your efforts—just don't overdo it. Personal year 4 cycles can be extremely fruitful, but can also lead to burnout.

Marking the "halfway point" between 1 and 9, the 5 represents turning a new leaf after the previous four numbers, and in this year, you integrate and change your life based on all you've recently learned. While it's not always easy, change is inevitable, so try to embrace it during this cycle.

But during this year cycle, you won't mind helping at all. In fact, you'll actually feel inclined to extend a hand to anyone who needs it, so just remember the golden rule of putting on your own lifejacket before anyone else's.

Wisdom is wonderful, and you will likely gain some during this cycle, but sometimes it comes at a cost. The strongest lessons are often those learned the hard way, and plenty of emotions are sure to come up as your soul advances during this cycle.

The number 8 in numerology is considered the most powerful and abundant, but only if there's balance involved. You might have a windfall during this cycle, but if your life is out of balance, things could go in the opposite direction, and you might feel like you're running up against a wall a lot of the time.

This is a time to let go and release all the things that have built up over the past nine years, whether that looks like ditching old habits or relationships that aren't serving you, or feeling the need to spend time doing soul searching to figure out the next course of action. It can be a confusing time, but one that ultimately sets the stage for what's next.

Numerology can offer us info on everything from our life path to what our house number says about our home—and it doesn't stop there. To figure out how best to navigate the year you're in, pay attention to your personal year cycle and try to work with it, instead of against it.
