Have you ever wondered how the mysterious world of numerology could illuminate your life's path? Journey with me as I reveal the transformative power of understanding your personal year, an essential component of numerology that unveils the unique energy and themes you can expect annually. By sharing how numerology guided my path through 2024 and what I anticipate for 2025, I promise to equip you with the knowledge to calculate your personal year and harness its potential to bring clarity and direction to your life. Tune in and explore how the vibrations of numbers can provide profound insights, much like a map guiding you through the unfolding chapters of your story.

Reflecting on my personal growth, I delve into a year of rest and introspection, embracing the influence of the number seven which urged me to slow down and embark on a journey of self-discovery. This quiet period, though initially resisted, became a fertile ground for transformation. As I transition into a year eight, I am inspired to channel this newfound clarity and energy into themes of financial growth and personal empowerment. Through sharing these experiences, I aim to inspire you to recognize and embrace the powerful energies each year brings, ensuring that numerology serves as a beacon on your own path of self-discovery and empowerment.

Having spent many years living life out of alignment and afraid to go after my dreams, I know firsthand what it means to take the first step down, living a life authentic to you. We are on this road of self-discovery together. It is time for you to live the life you imagined. Hello, my loves, welcome back to Journey to the Soul. I hope you are having a wonderful start to your week. Whenever you are listening to this, wherever you are tuning in from hello, I send you all a big hug.

Speaker 1:

I am really looking forward to talking about today's topic with you. It's one of the things that I'm a little bit obsessed with, that I love learning more about and understanding more about. It's one of the philosophies that I love to dive deeper into, essentially and it's something that I've touched on in another podcast episode, probably close to a year ago, it was an episode that I did on numerology and numerology. For anyone who has never heard of it before or has, but perhaps is just not familiar with what it is, numerology is the study of numbers. So in numerology, each number has its own vibration, essentially, and these vibrations can shed light onto different aspects of yourself, your psyche, your desires, life events. So the way that you come up with your numerology chart because it's something that you calculate as well, much like an astrology chart or a human design chart you use your birthday, the month, the date and the year and the name that you were given at birth. So you don't need the location, like you would with an astrology chart or with a human design chart. And if you were to want to pull up a numerology chart, it would actually be quite an in-depth thing. Like many other philosophies, like astrology or human design, it is a very in-depth and intricate thing. So if you were to pull up a chart, you would see a lot of different numbers and things and it's such a really interesting and super supportive system that I love looking at it.

Speaker 1:

And, like human design and astrology. You can think of it as just another tool that you can use for understanding yourself and why you may veer towards certain tendencies or certain things about your life and how it may play out, and there's so many different things that we can look at within a numerology chart. You know there are certain key numbers that are very important and specific to you in a numerology chart, like your life path number is probably the most important number in numerology for you. There's your heart's desire number. There's so many different things, but the thing that I wanted to touch on today which is what I touched on in the episode that I did last year as well is the personal year in numerology. I apply the personal year, or like looking at my personal year in numerology every year as I welcome in a new year. It's been something that I have been doing the last couple of years, and I think that it is incredible information to have as you start and embark on a new year ahead, which is partly why I wanted to record this episode today, too. This is going to be a little bit different than the one last year in the sense that I'm not going to go through some of the themes of each personal year, but I did want to share with you just how my personal year went last year and share a little bit about that and then, going into this next personal year, for me too, what my thoughts are leading up to that too. If you did not listen to the episode that I did last year, I would suggest that you listen to it, either before or after you listen to this one, because what we're going to do first is I'm going to show you how to calculate your personal year, but all the themes that are connected with whichever number that you get, you can listen to and have a better understanding in that first episode.

Speaker 1:

And what is your personal year? So, like everything in your numerology chart, it's something that is very specific to you, but it is something that changes every year with the start of a new calendar year, and we can all attest and know that each year feels different. We feel like different people. We're coming in with different aspirations, different desires. You know, every year we're a different person when we start a new year. Each year feels different with how we want to approach it. So we already can recognize that every year is not the same, that every year that you go through, you don't start it and move through it in the same way as you always have. Each year has its own energy, right, and we can all feel that. So your personal year is essentially the energy of the year for you, based off of a number. So your personal year would be your vibe for this year, and the number of your personal year is going to be tied to certain themes and things that may come up with that number, and it's something that, if you allow yourself to lean into it, you can honor what this year brings for you into it. You can honor what this year brings for you, just embracing it, not fighting it, not wanting it to be anything different than it is.

Speaker 1:

I do also want to note that, when it comes to your personal year, whatever year that you're going into so, for example, I was in a personal year seven last year and this year 2025, I went into an eight you can feel some of the energy of the year to come even before the start of the year. So some of those themes, some of those principal things that are associated with that number. So, for example, for me, with the eight, it's very possible that some of those things show up before then, you know, in the months leading up to the new year, and, in astrology, something similar to this, if we want to look at things from a year perspective, and what we can look at in astrology to see what our vibe will be for the year is looking at any major transits that you may have. You can also do a solar return chart for yourself, which is essentially a chart showing where all the planets are for your birthday for that year, and with both of these things, it's just something that gives you some insight on what may come, on, what you may experience.

Speaker 1:

Your personal year is made up of your birthday, so just your month and your date and the current year, and as an example, we'll use my birth month and my birthday. So I am born on April 22nd, so I would add my birthday to the year, which is 2025. And the way that you would do that is you want to keep adding it until you reduce it down to one digit. So you would do 4 plus 2 plus 2 plus 2 for the 2025, plus 0 plus two plus five, and then you keep adding that until you get down to one number. That's one way that you could do it.

Speaker 1:

The other way that you could add it, which is really the way that I like adding it is you add the birthday first, because for me, april is already down to one digit, but if you were, like, born in November, you could add that first. So 11, one plus one reduces down to two. And then you could do the same with the date if it's a double digit number. But, for example, my month is a single digit number, so I don't have to do that, but essentially add up the date and then reduce it down to one, add up the month and reduce it down to one. That's again if you have a double digit for either of those and then add up the year that we're in and reduce it down to one. So we would do four plus four, which is the reduction of the 22.

Speaker 1:

And then 2025 adds up to nine, and in numerology we look at numbers between one through nine really is most of the numbers that we're looking at. There's a few other numbers that are called master numbers, but for just simplicity of what I want to show you guys, we're not going to touch on that. So you're just going to reduce down to one and adding up those different aspects. You're going to get one digit. You're going to keep adding until you get one digit, so you can do that with your birthday and then add in the year, which is 2025, which this year, 2025 is a universal year. Nine, universal year, nine. So we're talking about your personal year, but as a collective, we also have an energy. There is the energy of the nine that, as a collective, we are working with. Last year, 2024, it was an eight, so the nine has a very different energy than the eight.

Speaker 1:

No-transcript. You could keep listening to this episode or you could go listen to the other one that I recorded at some point and see what the themes will be for you and what energy is in store for you for the year to come, and just meditate and ponder on it. It's such an incredible thing to look at when we're looking at the next 365 days of what's ahead of us. I did a little bit of a more in-depth walkthrough in that first episode. I will link it down below, that way you can listen to that. I'm also just going to link a calculator in the links below that way. If you prefer to do it that way and you're like this isn't working for some reason. Perhaps then you can use the calculator. But diving into how the personal year shows up, I am not a numerologist but I love numerology and I have been studying different aspects of numerology for the last couple of years and there's so many different things that I study and go really deep into that I love applying to my life if it works.

Speaker 1:

I love applying to my life if it works, if it feels resonant. So numerology may or may not be a thing that you feel is supportive in your life, but for me it's kind of been one of those things that I have opened myself up to more and I've seen how it can be finding out the intricacies of my human design or my astrology chart, how pivotal those things were for me understanding myself and who I am and all of those different things. My numerology chart was very much the same way and as I started meddling with a personal year, it was just very eye-opening for me and mind-blowing to see how much it aligned. So I experimented with it for many years. I have continuously experimented with it and every year it continues to be something that I'm like man, okay, I just I need to lean into the energies of that year more. I've learned that because it initially it was just something that was in my realm and I was observant and, more just, receptive to what was happening within the year. But at first I wasn't really actually leaning into the energy of that year, because I go through a deep learning process and then a deep experimentation with anything that I do. But now, having been using numerology for probably close to four years now, the personal year is something that I really do look at when I am looking at any intentions that I might want to set for the year ahead or just what's to come. You know, what can I open myself up to? What are the lessons that I'm going to learn? Again, it's like if you're into astrology, it's like your transits. It's like if you're knowing that Saturn is going to transit a house for you, or Jupiter or any other planet. You just become open to that. So this is one of those things that you can definitely use to also support you with that.

Speaker 1:

And last year, like I mentioned, I had a personal year seven and this year, a seven is all about inner work, knowledge and going deep. So it's about going within to step into the next version of you, and in order to do this. It can be a time to care for your physical body, a time for solitude, a time for you to reflect, to learn, for spiritual growth. It's really for being more than doing, and if you listen to the last two episodes that I put out, you will have heard me share about how last year was one of the most difficult and transformative years that I've gone through so far with my body and having to meet the needs of my body in a way that I never had before Really being forced to stop and be where I was and really honor that and not try to run away from it. So the seven was so spot on for me because it was a time of deep healing, not just physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It gave me the opportunity to really be with myself in a way that I never had before and to really let go of things that I had carried for so much of my life.

Speaker 1:

But it was something that I was forced to do. My body forced me to slow down and that was so hard. For me it was one of the hardest things because I always prided myself on moving forward, on constantly going on moving forward in life, on gaining traction right just not meant to be a time for that, even though I wanted it to be, even though I wanted to go all in on all of these things and focus on building my business and taking different creative projects that I wanted to do to the next level and going all in on all these other things. And I realized after a couple of months that that just wasn't happening because I had bigger things to worry about, and that was how I was doing and how I was on a day-to-day basis. There were more important things that I needed to focus on.

Speaker 1:

I spent so much time alone last year. I spent so much time within myself last year to try to understand why this was happening, why this was showing up where it had stemmed from, and the solitude and the quiet allowed me to do that, and it was allowing me to learn where I had abandoned myself. It was a time for a lot of spiritual growth and, more than anything, I had to learn how to allow myself to be and to not fight where I was and to honor this season of life that I was in, which was a season of rest. It was a season of wintering. I have been wintering, but I wanted it to be something so much different and I started 2024 definitely with the intentions of it being something completely different and then I quickly learned that that is not happening and there was so much frustration definitely initially but throughout the year, of wanting things to be different than they were, wanting my body to be at its optimal and having to just accept where it was and the limitations that it was giving me at that moment, the discomfort, all of those things.

Speaker 1:

There was a lot of overthinking about feeling like I wasn't doing enough. You know, with that quiet without the doing, it gave me so much time to overthink about every aspect of life and how I felt, like I was kind of just lacking in some way. There was a lot of low energy, but there was also so much growth here. I shed so many layers of myself away to allow space for a true and more aligned version of me and I know that I grew so much from the last year and I feel that going into this year, I can feel that and you can see how this aligns quite well with the overall themes that come up with the seven and, like I shared when I first came across numerology, the accuracy of it just completely blew me away. There was something in my psyche that told me I needed to dive deeper into it, because the first thing that I came across was my life path number and that was something that I just felt like a part of me intuitively knew which one it was. And then I started doing my research and stuff like that and it was just such an eye-opening thing. It was like figuring out your energy type in human design. It's like, oh my gosh, yes, that is how I am. It's not all in my head, or the same thing with astrology. So every year it just helps me honor where I am, more and more and more.

Speaker 1:

I went into last year definitely wondering how it was going to affect me the seven because I'm like, hmm, because I went with the intentions of wanting to do all of these things. I'm like solitude, slowness, being more than doing. I'm like, no, I'm going to do this year and that's how I started the year. And shortly after that I realized that that's not how it was going to play out, but I opened myself up to that. From now, looking back to that, I do see how powerful that was, how powerful the seven was for me to work on all of these aspects of myself, of life.

Speaker 1:

This year I am stepping into a year eight, which is all about financial growth, personal empowerment and endurance. So this is a year for me to really step into my power, to do everything I need to do in order for that to be possible. So last year, you can almost see it as setting the stage for this. It was a year of letting go, it was a year of cleansing, it was a quiet year to rest and it really made space for this for the next year to come. So this is gonna be a great time for focusing on business, on embracing success and confidence, and I definitely am feeling the themes of the eight. They did come into my realm towards the later part of last year as I started thinking about okay, 2025, what do I want to focus on? And it's something that I slowly percolate on until I come to certain decisions about okay, what are my major focuses or intentions for the next year?

Speaker 1:

And last year was a very slow year for me and I wasn't able to focus on the things that I wanted to focus on, even though I wanted it to be a year of growth and success and focusing on all of these things. It was not that, and I knew that. I figured that out eventually. I had all of these ideas of what I wanted to do to take my business and my creative pursuits to the next level and I didn't have the energy to focus on it physically, mentally or emotionally. I had to be really honest with myself about what I could do and meet myself where I was my physical needs. And that was so hard because if you listened to my last episode, you would have heard that I had never had a season of rest like I did last year, had a season of rest like I did last year. I never really ever stopped in my life ever really like I needed to last year. So if you want to hear more about that, definitely tune into the last episode.

Speaker 1:

And for this year, this is so spot on for where I want to focus and put my energy on. I have more physical energy than I did last year. I'm still in a healing phase with my body, but I can do so much more than I could a year ago and I am so, so, eternally grateful for that because now I have the energy and the focus to want to do what I had set out to do last year but was not able to. I have to still meet my body, where it is a little bit because I am still going through certain healing, but this is night and day to where I was last year and I am so eager for this year and for all it's going to bring, to go all in in my business to take it to the next level. You know, it's like when you've wanted to do something for so long and you've wanted you finally have the ability to do it. It's like the best feeling ever. That is how I'm feeling going into this year.

Speaker 1:

It's like I have been given so much time last year to think about all the different things that I wanted to do with focusing on my business, creating a plan to take it to the next level. And same with different aspects of life. You know, creating a new life in a different country, because we are going to be moving in the next couple of months and how to bring all of these things to life right. You need to have some intentions, you need to have some kind of plan to slowly move forward with that, step by step, and I am really ready to just embrace my success this year, do the things that I know that are going to be meaningful and make an impact in the world the way that I want to, to embrace abundance, prosperity, to take up more space. These are all things that are definitely things that I want to lean into more this year, because it is so what I want to focus on, and I just dive into this because I geek out on this stuff, but it also just flows me away with how incredibly accurate it is and it's a thing that, like I mentioned, I love to geek out on. So I'm not a numerologist. This is just, you know, one of the many hobbies that I have is learning about all of these random, different things, and I share a lot of that with you guys these random, different things, and I share a lot of that with you guys. So this is how I apply numerology into my life and how I kind of meditate with it, observe it, use it as another thing to reflect on.

Speaker 1:

So, as we come to the end of this episode, I would love for you to reflect on your personal year last year. Since you calculated your personal year for this year. Go ahead and calculate what personal year you had last year and I want you to think about how did some of those themes play out in your life? And again, you're going to want to listen to my first episode, which I will link. That way you can see what themes were tied with that. It's like if you had a six last year what themes were tied with that, and just sit with it for a little bit.

Speaker 1:

Reflect. Do you feel like it resonated with you? Now that you have your personal year for this year, I would also love to know what it is. What are you stepping into this year? Does knowing this make you feel more empowered and ready for what is to come in the next 11 months that are going to unfold? You can send me a message on Instagram to share with me. I totally want to know. I want to hear from you guys and how you resonated with your personal year. I look forward to talking to you all in my next episode. I am sending you so much love.
