Personal Year 5

Nothing stays still this year.

Personal Year 5 is one year in your personal nine-year cycle: the overall theme you are moving through. It is calculated from your birth month, your birth day, and the current calendar year, and it turns on your birthday rather than on January 1st.

What does Personal Year 5 mean?

Nothing stays still. The year opens with change you didn't plan for, and the changes keep coming. Plans made in January are obsolete by March. What worked last year stops working this year. By summer you've learned to stay adaptable or stay frustrated: rigidity becomes liability. Opportunities appear that weren't visible before. Information arrives that shifts your entire perspective. The year closes with you in a different place, literally or figuratively, than you started. This is a year of exploration, variety, freedom that feels exhilarating and destabilizing in equal measure. Some movement is progress. Some is just movement.
