Numerology: Finding Your Purpose & Yearly Theme

12/02

Have you explored numerology yet? Today I’m sharing two concepts from numerology called the personal year cycle or personal year number, and your life path number. These numbers are easy to calculate from your birthday, and can give you clues on your life purpose and new year theme.

Personal Year Number

How to calculate your Personal Year Number

1) Add up the digits of your birthday and the current year.

If your birthday is May 21 and the current year is 2020, the corresponding digits would be: 5, 2, 1, 2, 0, 2, 0

The total of those digits would be 12: 5 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 12

2) Add up the digits again until you get a single digit number.

12 consists of two digits (1 and 2), so the final total would be 3: 1 + 2 = 3

You would be in Year 3 of your Personal Year cycle!
