Very
simply, numerology is the study of numbers and their connection to the human experience. Within
this study, our lives are divided into nine-year cycles, with each year carrying a specific energy, advantage or challenge.
One important note—each numerological year runs from birthday to birthday, not January to December. That said, the
following will help you calculate your current and upcoming year numbers in order to
glimpse what 2017 has in store for you.
The first step in utilizing numerology is to condense the number in question (regardless
of how many digits it initially contains) down to a single digit between “1” and “9”. This is done
using simple addition.
In order to see what the coming year has in store for you, you need to know what number
year you are in at this time and what energy you will be moving into on your next birthday.
To figure that out, the calculation is made using your last birthday.
For example, if
your last birthday was October 5, 2016, the following would be the method of determining
the energy or purpose of your current year:
A) Write down the last birth date in numerical form
with plus signs in between each whole number:
10 + 5 + 2016
B) Each
portion of the date must now be condensed to a single digit. The day is the 5th, which
is already a single digit. To reduce the month and the year to single digits, add the
individual digits together:
Month: 10 becomes 1 + 0 = 1
Year: 2 + 0 + 1 + 6 = 9
C) Now you
have three single digits that need to be added together:
Month: 1
Day: 5
Year: 9
Which adds up to 15
D) Since the total is a double-digit number, it still
needs to be condensed to one:
15: 1 + 5 = 6
Thus, if your last birthday was October 5, 2016, you are
currently in a “6” year and will be moving into a “7” energy next
October.
E)
The last step is to find out what your year number means in terms of what you can expect
to be the focus of your life for that year. Full interpretations are in NUMEROLOGY TO GO, but here's the short version
-
1 - Beginning of a new 9-year cycle, fresh starts, leadership,
new ideas or plans
2 - Relationship issues (for better or worse), duality, double duty,
options between two things or people
3 - Playtime, free spiritedness, taking risks,
gambling, good luck
4 - Hard, possibly tedious or exhausting work, no time to relax
let alone play, but if used positively lays the foundation for something strong and lasting
5 - Changes, transitions,
halfway point in a cycle or major project, fine-tuning and making adjustments in long-term plans
6 - Domestic peace
or harmony, comfortable home environment, rest and recuperation
7 - Depending on previous responses
to situations or behavior leading up to this year, either upheaval and confrontations regarding issues
being ignored or positive spiritual connections and psychic expansion
8 - Rewards
for work done, favors returned, reaping the harvest of seeds previously sown
9 -
Endings, conclusions, cleaning, de-cluttering, making space (literally or figuratively) for a new
cycle
