These cycles begin at your birth and progress, one by one, through nine steps that complete an epicycle, and then begin anew. | |
Personal Month | Just as we evolve through a nine-year cycle, so, too, we experience nine-month and nine-day cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year Cycle. | |
Personal Day | The Personal Day number has the least influence on your life but does add a subtle energy to other influences around you. However, when your Personal Day number matches your Life Path Number or Soul Number, you will want to pay attention, because here the subtle influence is added to what is already a strong influence in your life.
