A Case for a January 1st Start Date for the Personal Year

A Case for a January 1st Start Date for the Personal Year

There is a disagreement in Numerology over when the Personal Year begins. Depending upon what Numerology book you read, you will find some who teach a January 1st start date and others who teach that the Personal Year begins on your birthday. This issue can be a great source of frustration for a person studying Numerology. Ultimately, as a Numerologist, you have to choose between the two options. If you look at Chinese Astrology , each persons Personal Year begins on a fixed date, the Chinese New Year. 


Your clients are your greatest teachers because they are living proof of the numbers you see reflected in their Numerology Chart. It is through careful listening skills that you will come to your own conclusion as to when the Personal Year begins. You cannot come to a conclusion based upon one day in a person’s Personal Year but have to look at the entire year in question as a whole.  What is the theme of their year and what are they experiencing? Some would say that major events happen after the Birthday as evidence of when the Personal Year begins but logically you have a 100% chance of something happening before or after your Birthday. It is not conclusive evidence. Another factor that is important to remember is that a Personal Year builds in intensity and is in full effect during the middle 7 months. I refer you to the following:

Matthew Goodwin: 1981 Numerology The Complete Guide Volumes I and II p.322 in Volume II
Calculation: Month+Day+Universal Year
Timing of Personal Year: Jan. 1st through Dec. 31st
From Matthew Goodwin: “The Personal Year, like the Universal Year, lasts one year from January 1 to December 31. It may be felt to some degree from October through December of the previous year. Its fading influence can be felt through January and February of the following year. Actions predicted on the approach by the Personal Year are more powerful between March and September because the influence is operating in a pure form, without the overlay of previous or incoming approaches. If an action or event of importance can be scheduled, schedule it for maximum impact in those middle 7 months.”

Calculation Method: Month+Day+Universal Year /Timing of Personal Year: Jan. 1st through Dec. 31st

 It is equally important to understand all the information being provided by a person’s Numerology Chart in the 1st place. There are other factors in a person’s Numerology Chart that add to the equation and have influence on the experiences of your client and must be considered when looking at any given year in a person’s life. Each year a person is not only being influenced by the Personal Year energy but also by the Essence Number, the Transits and even the Personal Months. There is no dispute among Numerologists as to when the Essences and Transits begin. They do begin on your Birthday.  These powerful numbers can cause significant events in a person’s life and must be read in conjunction with the Personal Year Number in order to be accurate.  They also can create conflict with the understanding of the Personal Year Number meaning.

* An example would be a person in a 4 Personal Year but this person also has an A Transit.  In a 4 Personal Year, you would not expect a job change but the A Transit indicates a new opportunity such as a job change which would significantly affect the future, such as the case with my husband in 2014.

The Essence Numbers are also very telling and do not necessarily agree with the meaning of the Personal Year. They add information to understand what Numerical influences are present in a person’s life at any given time.  The Essence Numbers also begin on a person’s Birthday.

When the Essence Number and the Personal Year Number match at any given time in a person’s life, it intensifies the energy and usually is an indication of a difficult year.
To fully understand what energy is influencing a person in any year, you must look at the Essences, Transits and the Personal Year Number as a whole. By not doing so, you are missing out on the full picture and leaving out important information that applies to your client.

I cannot use the 1000s of examples of validation for when the Personal Year begins from my clients due to client confidentiality. I have provided a list of people in the news or with celebrity status as examples. With that being said, a Personal Year for anyone encompasses 365 days with experiences that go beyond what you can research on the internet or what becomes public knowledge.

Joshua Aaron McNary (April 10, 1988) is an American football linebacker and special teamer for the Indianapolis Colts. On 1/14/15 he was charged with a felony rape and taken into custody. This happened prior to his birthday.  Based upon a January 1st start date, he is in a 4 Personal Year and his Essence Number at this time is a 4. The number 4 is strongly associated with law and order  If I used a Birthday to Birthday start date for the Personal Year, he would be in a 3 Personal Year. The 4 Personal Year makes sense in this case because you must follow the law in a 4 Year. The fact he had a 4 Essence at the time of his arrest, coupled with his 4 Personal Year intensified the 4 energy. Whenever your Essence Number and your Personal Year match, it usually indicates a difficult year.

Margaret LeAnn Rimes (August 28, 1982) is an American country and pop singer. On August 29th, 2012 she checked into a treatment facility for anxiety and stress. Based upon a January 1st start date, she was in a 5 Personal Year. Her Essence number at that time was also a 5. Her Essence Number matched her Personal Year Number which always indicates a difficult or profound year.  The 5 also signals a time for change and perhaps is what prompted her to seek help.  She sought help in a 4 Personal Month based upon her 5 Personal Year. The 4 emphasizes health.

 Lupe Ontiveros Guadalupe "Lupe" Ontiveros (September 17, 1942 – July 26, 2012) was an American film and television actress. She died prior to her Birthday in 2012 and her Essence Number was a 4. Based upon a January1st start date of the Personal Year, she was in a 4 Personal Year at the time of her death. A 4 Personal Year has strong implications for health. The Essence Number matched the Personal Year Number intensifying the energy of the 4.  If you used a Birthday to Birthday start date for her Personal Year in 2012, she would have been in a 3 Personal Year and the 4 makes more sense. She died in an 11 Personal Month based upon her 4 Personal Year which is known for creating sudden and unexpected events.

Gore Vidal , Eugene Louis Vidal, 3 October 1925 – 31 July 2012) was an American writer. He died before his birthday. He died in a 9 Personal Year based upon a January 1st start date and the 9 is always associated with endings. If calculated using a start date of the Birthday, he would have been in an 8 Personal Year. The 9 is associated with endings and completions and makes more sense.

Jacqueline Lee "Jackie" (Bouvier) Kennedy Onassis ( (July 28, 1929 – May 19, 1994) was the wife of the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and First Lady of the United States during his presidency from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. She died prior to her Birthday. At the time of her death she had a 4 Essence Number and based upon a January 1st start date, was in a 4 Personal Year. The Essence Number and the Personal Year Number matched. The 4 Personal Years can place emphasis on health and it goes without question that it was a profound year in her life. If you used a Birthday to Birthday start date for the Personal Year, she would have been in a 3 Personal Year. May was a 9 Personal Month for her based upon a January 1st start date to her 4 Personal Year. The 9 makes more sense because it is usually an indication of endings and completions.

Howard Andrew "Andy" Williams (December 3, 1927 – September 25, 2012) was an American popular musicsinger. He died prior to his Birthday in 2012. He was in an 11 Personal Year based upon a January 1st start date. If calculated using a Birthday to Birthday start date, he would have been in a 1 Personal Year. The 11 makes more sense because an 11 can bring sudden and unexpected events in your life. September was an 11 Personal Month for him based upon his 11 Personal Year. If you were to use a Birthday start date, he would have been in a 1 Personal Year.

Roger Joseph Ebert (June 18, 1942 – April 4, 2013) was an American film critic, journalist, and screenwriter. He died prior to his birthday in June. He had a 3 Essence Number at the time of his death and based upon a January 1st start date, he was in a 3 Personal Year. The Essence Number and the Personal Year Number matched which points to the difficulty of that year for him.

Janis Lyn Joplin ( January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970) was an American singer-songwriter who first rose to fame in the late 1960s.  At the time of her death, her 1 Essence Number matched her 1 Personal Year Number based upon a January 1st start date.  Her transits are quite telling at the time of her death because she was at the 5th year of an I Transit which is an indication of endings and completions. She also had double N Transits. * From Speaking to Your Soul through Numerology p. 134 Double Ns can indicate sudden and unexpected events as well as being accident prone.  In this case, regardless of when you calculated the start of her Personal year, she would have been in a 1 Personal Year.  A Numerologist would not expect a person to die in a 1 Personal Year however there is no absolute especially when you take the Transits and Essences into consideration. She was also 27 years old at the time of her death 2+7=9 which is another indication of endings and completions.

Aaron Michael Hernandez (born November 6, 1989) is a former American football player who is currently being held without bail following his indictment on three murder charges. On August 22, 2013, Hernandez was indicted by a grand jury for the murder of Odin Lloyd, a semi-pro football player. His Essence number in 2013 was a 5 and based upon a January 1st start date, he was in a 5 Personal Year at the time.  The Essence Number matched the Personal Year Number.  There is no question 2013 was a difficult year for him. In this case, the 5 represents loss of freedom and change. August was a 4 Personal Month for him based upon a January 1st start date and the 4 has strong implications for law and order.

Arlen Specter (February 12, 1930 – October 14, 2012) was a United States Senator from Pennsylvania.  He died after his February Birthday but his Essence Number at the time of his death was a 1 and based upon a January 1st start date, he was in a 1 Personal Year. The Essence Number matched the Personal Year Number. He also had double E Transits at the time of his death which indicate a change or a sudden and unexpected event.  .  In this case, regardless of when you calculated the start of her Personal year, he would have been in a 1 Personal Year.  We would not expect a person to die in a 1 Personal Year however this case proves that there is no absolute.

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occurred on December 14, 2012 which leads up to the death of Adam Peter Lanza (April 22, 1992 – December 14, 2012) . He died after his Birthday however his Essence Number was a 4 at the time of his death and based upon a January start date his Personal Year at the time of his death was a 4. The Essence Number matched the Personal Year Number.  It goes without question; this was a profound event in his life which is usually the case when this occurs in a person’s Numerology Chart.


Malinda Gayle "Mindy" McCready (November 30, 1975 – February 17, 2013) died before her Birthday by suicide. At the time of her death she had a 2 Essence and was in a 2 Personal Year based upon a January 1st start date. The Essence Number matched the Personal Year Number which intensified the 2 energy at the time. The number 2 can be associated with anxiety, stress and depression. If you used a Birthday to Birthday start date for the Personal Year, she would have been in a 1 Personal Year and the double 2 energy would not be present. Also, The 2 makes more sense in this case.

Isaiah Charles Austin (born October 25, 1993) is an American basketball player who completed his college career for the Baylor Bears in 2014. He had been considered a first-round prospect in the 2014 NBA draft until he was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome in June of 2014 prior to his Birthday. He had a 6 Essence Number at the time and based upon a January 1st start date, he was in a 6 Personal Year. The 6 does have health implications.   The Essence Number and the Personal Year matched which is often the case when difficult years in our lives occur.

Joshua Caleb Gordon (born April 13, 1991) is an American football wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Browns in the second round of the 2012 NFL Supplemental Draft. On July 5, 2014, Gordon was arrested for driving while impaired in Raleigh, North Carolina.  
On August 27, 2014, Gordon acknowledged that the NFL suspended him for 1 year for violating the league's substance-abuse policy On September 19, 2014; his suspension was reduced to 10 games amidst the new NFL drug policy. Gordon was officially reinstated on November 17.
On December 27th, 2014, the Browns suspended Gordon from the final game of the 2014 season due to a violation of team rules. Gordon only played 5 games in 2014. Since the NFL requires players to play 6 games in a season to qualify for unrestricted free agency, Gordon entered the off season as a restricted free agent.
In 2014, he had a 6 Essence Number and based upon a January 1st start date, was in a 6 Personal Year. The Essence Number and his Personal Year Number matched which is an indication of a difficult year. August was a 4 Personal Month for him based upon a January 1st start date. The number 4 is associated with law and order. He was reinstated in November which would have been a 1 Personal Month for him based upon a January 1st start date. A 1 represents new beginnings. December was a 9 Personal Month for him based upon a January 1st start date. It is interesting to note he was also suspended on a 27/9 day. The 9 is associated with endings. All of the events that occurred with Joshua in 2014 directly correlated with his Personal Month energy which again, is based upon a January 1st start date.

Joyce Diane Brothers  (October 20, 1927 – May 13, 2013) was an American psychologist ,television personality and columnist. She died prior to her Birthday. At the time of her death she had a 9 Essence and based upon a January 1st start date, was in a 9 Personal Year. The Essence Number matched the Personal Year Number.  Using a Birthday start date, she would have been in an 8 Personal Year. The 9 makes more sense because it represents endings and completions and having a 9 Essence Number and a 9 Personal Year Number intensified the 9 energy.

Lee Thompson Young (February 1, 1984 – August 19, 2013) was an American actor. He died after his Birthday but his Essence Number at the time of his death was a 9 and he died in a 9 Personal year based upon a January 1st start date. The Essence Number matched the Personal Year Number intensifying the 9 energy which always points to endings and completions.

Teresa Giudice
 (born May 18, 1972) is an Italian-American reality television cast-member.On July 29, 2013, Teresa and Joe Giudice were charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, and bank fraud, making false statements on loan applications, and bankruptcy fraud in a 39-count indictment. The charges came after her Birthday but she had an 11/2 Essence at the time and based upon a January 1st start date, she was in an 11/2 Personal Year. The Essence Number matched the Personal Year Number. She was found guilty and surprisingly, sentenced to do jail time. By seeing the double 11/2 energy in her chart, I knew this was not going to be a positive outcome and I refer you to my blog I wrote 10/14/2013. The 11 is known for sudden and sometimes shocking outcomes.

Thomas "Tom" Cruise 
(born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV; July 3, 1962) is an American actor and filmmaker. On June 29, 2012, his wife Katie Holmes filed for divorce from him which was shortly after his Birthday. At the time of his birthday, Tom Cruise had a 6 Essence Number and was in a 6 Personal Year based upon a January 1st start date which intensified the energy of the 6. The 6 Personal Year is associated with marriage and divorce.

Ermes Effron Borgnino, known as Ernest Borgnine ( January 24, 1917 – July 8, 2012) At the time of Ernest Borgnine’s death he had a 3 Essence Number and based upon a January 1st start date, was in a 3 Personal Year. The Essence Number and the Personal Year Number matched. Based upon a January 1st start date, he was in a 4 Personal Month at the time of his death which does place emphasis on health. When the Personal Year Number and the Essence Number match, it usually is an indication of a difficult year.

William Walton "Bill" Sharman 
(May 25, 1926 – October 25, 2013) was an American professional basketball player and coach. He died prior to his birthday and his Essence Number at the time of his death was a 9 and he died in a 9 Personal year based upon a January 1st start date. The Essence Number and the Personal Year Number matched. The 9 is associated with endings and completions. If you used a Birthday start date for the Personal Year, he would have been in an 8 Personal Year. The 9 makes more sense and the energy of the 9 was intensified because of the matching Essence and Personal Year Numbers.

Andrea Pia Kennedy Yates 
(born July 2, 1964) is a former resident of Houston, Texas, who confessed to drowning her five children in their bathtub on June 20, 2001. At the time of this incident, she had a 3 Essence and was in a 3 Personal Year based upon a January 1st start date. It is interesting to note that she drowned her children in a 9 Personal Month based upon a January 1st start date of the Personal Year. When the Essence Number and the Personal Year Number match, it is always an indication of a difficult year. If I were to draw a connection to the #3, the 3 needs to express their emotions and unfortunately, in this case it had such a tragic ending.

Heath Andrew Ledger
 (4 April 1979 – 22 January 2008) was an Australian actor and director. He died prior to his birthday in April. Based upon a January 1st start date, he was in a 9 Personal Year. Using a Birthday start date, he would have been in an 8 Personal Year. The 9 is associated with endings and completions and makes more sense.

Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011) was an English singer and songwriter known for her deep vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres. She died prior to her Birthday in 2011. Using a January 1st start date, she was in a 9 Personal Year. Using a Birthday start date, she would have been in an 8 Personal Year and again, the 9 makes more sense. She was also 27 years old and 2+7=9 which perhaps is another indication of endings and completions.

Christina Onassis (11 December 1950 – 19 November 1988) was an American born Greek/Argentine businesswoman, socialite, and heiress to the Onassis fortune. She died of a heart attack prior to her Birthday and based upon a January 1st start date, was in a 4 Personal Year which always puts emphasis on health. Her Essence Number at the time of her death was also a 4 which intensifies the 4 energy and is an indication of a difficult year.  Using a Birthday start date, she would have been in a 3 Personal Year.

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1969 or 1970)[ is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, businesswoman and occasional actress. Reported 1/16/15, her estranged husband Nick Cannon filed for divorce which is prior to her birthday. Using a January 1st start date, she would be in a 2 Personal Year. A 2 Personal Year is known to make or break a relationship.

John Forbes Kerry (born December 11, 1943) is an American politician who is the 68th and current United States Secretary of State. He was nominated on December 21, 2012 by President Obama for the position of Secretary of State. Based upon a January 1st start date, he was in a 1 Personal Year. His Essence Number at the time was a 22 which came in on his Birthday. A 22 means international and large scale business. A 1 points to events that significantly change your future. This is a case of the Essence Number was a catalyst for an event.

David Howell Petraeus (November 7, 1952) is a retired American military officer and public official who served as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from September 6, 2011 until his resignation on November 9, 2012. Based upon a January 1st start date, he was in a 5 Personal Year at the time. It goes without question that a 5 is associated with overindulgence with sex. In fact, it was an affair that led to his resignation in his 5 Personal Year. A 5 Personal Year can bring sudden and unexpected changes in a person’s life, especially a job change. Some may point out that the resignation occurred after his Birthday as an indication that the Personal Year begins on the Birthday but if you read the events of this case, he was dealing with the repercussions of his affair for the most part of the year.

George Gregory Plitt, Jr.
 (November 3, 1977 – January 17, 2015) was an American fitness model and actor. He starred in the Bravo television series Work Out. He died prior to his birthday by being struck by a train while filming. Based upon a January 1st start date, he was in a 4 Personal Year. This is a case where the Transits and Essences are quite important. He had a 5 Essence. He had an E, I and a R Transit at the time of his death. 5 is a number that is associated with accidents. The E is a 5. The I and R are 9s and he was at the 5th year of the 9 Transits. The 5th year has strong association with endings and completions. Also, based upon a January 1st start date, he was in a 5 Personal Month in January which again, relates to accidents.

John McCain ( 8/29/36) formally announced his intention to run for President of the United States on April 25, 2007. Based upon a January 1st start date, that would have been a 1 Personal Year for him. His Essence Number at the time was 22 which indicates large scale international opportunities. 
Based upon a Birthday to Birthday start date, On April 25, 2007 he would have been in a 9 Personal Year. 9 is not associated with new beginnings but the 1 is. This case supports a January 1st start date to the Personal Year. 

These just added:


Marion Hugh "Suge" Knight, Jr .(April 19, 1965)  is the founder and CEO of Black Kapital Records and co-founder and former CEO of Death Row Records. On January 30th, he was arrested on a murder charge connected with a hit-and-run accident in Los Angeles. Based upon a January 1st start date, he is in a 4 Personal Year which corresponds to law and order. If you were to use a Birthday to Birthday start date, he would be in a 3 Personal Year. The 4 makes more sense in this case

Amy Beth Pascal (born March 25, 1958) is an American business executive. She served as the Chairwoman of the Motion Pictures Group of (SPE) since 2003 and co-Chairperson of SPE, including Sony Pictures Television, from 2006 until announcing her departure in February 2015. Based upon a January 1st start date, she is in a 9 Personal Year in 2015. She also has an S Transit which came into effect on her 56th Birthday which indicates a new direction for her future. The 9 Personal Year is associated with closure, endings and completions. If you were to use a Birthday start date to the Personal Year, she would be in an 8 Personal Year. The 56 is also significant here because often profound and sudden events happen when a person’s age adds up to an 11. 5+6=11  Also February is an 11 Personal Month for her based upon a January 1st start date. 


Brian Douglas Williams ( May 5, 1959)  is an American journalist who is the anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News, the evening news program of the NBC television network. In February 2015, he announced he was temporarily stepping down from his job because of controversy over false claims he made about being shot down in a helicopter in Iraq. Based upon a Jan. 1st start date, he is in a 9 Personal Year in 2015. The 9 is associated with endings and completions. February is an 11 Personal Month based upon the January 1st start date which strengthens the argument for a Jan. 1st start date because the 11 can bring sudden and unexpected events.


William Bruce Jenner ( Oct.28, 1949) is a former U.S. track and field athlete and current television personality. He won the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics held in Montreal. He finalized his divorce from Kris Jenner in 2014 which, based upon a Jan.1st start date, was a 9 Personal Year for him. Once again, the 9 is the catalyst for endings and completions. In January 2015, prior to his birthday, he announced his intention to undergo a sex change. Based upon a Jan. 1st start date, 2015 is a 1 Personal Year for him and the 1 represents new beginnings. 

Dean Edwards Smith (February 28, 1931 – February 7, 2015) was an American head coach
 of men's college basketball. He died prior to his birthday. Based upon a Jan. 1st start date, he was in an 11/2 Personal Year. He was 83 which also adds up to an 11. His Essence Number was a 9 at the time of his death. If you were to consider the birthday as the start of the Personal Year, then he would have been in a 1 Personal Year. 

Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz (born November 28, 1962) is the host of the Daily Show. In February 2015, he announced he would be leaving the show. This is a case where the Transits are very telling. On his Birthday in 2014, he moved to an A Physical Transit which points to a new development  and can represent a decision that is made that strongly effects the future. At the same time, he moved into a T Mental Transit which can represent a job change or a major move of some kind. He also has an E Spiritual Transit that indicates change or a desire for freedom. 

Robert Matthew Van Winkle (born October 31, 1967), better known as Vanilla Ice, is an American rapper, actor and television host. In February 2015 he was arrested and charged with burglary residence and grand theft. This occurred prior to his October birthday. Based upon a Jan. 1st start date, he is in a 4 Personal Year. There is no question that the 4 year requires you to follow the law and if you break the rules, you will get caught.

Harris Lee Wittels (April 20, 1984 – February 19, 2015) was an American actor, comedian, writer, producer, musician and was Parks and Recreation Executive Director. The cause of death was suspected drug overdose. Based upon a Jan. 1st start date, he was in a 5 Personal Year. It is important to note his Expression Number was 14/5 which can be an indication for overindulgence and addictions and being in a 5 Personal Year can place emphasis on it. 

Christopher Scott "Chris" Kyle (April 8, 1974 − February 2, 2013) was a  United States Navy Seal and the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history with 160 confirmed kills. Based upon a January 1st start date, he was in a 9 Personal Year in 2013 when he died. He died prior to his birthday. The number 9 is associated with endings and completions. He was 38 years old at the time of his death. 3+8=11   The 11 is associated with sudden and unexpected events which speaks to the manner in which he died. 

Alan Walbridge Ladd (September 3, 1913 – January 29, 1964) was an American actor and film and television producer. Ladd found success in film the 1940s and early 1950s. The cause of death was an overdose of alcohol and three unspecified drugs. He was in a 5 Personal Year at the time of his death and also had a 5 Essence influencing  him which intensified the 5 energy. The number 5 is associated with addictions and overindulgence which correlates with the 5 Personal Year. If you were to determine the Personal year Number going from Birthday to Birthday, he would have been in a 4 Personal Year. The 5 makes more sense. 

Natasha Louise Collins (7 September 1976 – 3 January 2008) was an English actress and model. At the time of her death, she was in an 8 Personal Year based upon a Jan. 1st start date. Her Essence Number at the time of her death was also an 8. 

Kelly Lee Osbourne  (born 27 October 1984)  is an English singer-songwriter, actress, television presenter and fashion designer. On 2/27/15 she announced she was leaving the TV show Fashion Police. This occurred prior to her birthday and based upon a January 1st start date, she is in a 9 Personal year in 2015. This is not an unusual occurrence in a 9 Year.
Brittany "BrittMcHenry (born May 28, 1986) is an American sports reporter who currently works for ESPN as a Washington, D.C.-based reporter. On April 16th, 2015 she was suspended from work because of a leaked video of her being abusive to a tow lot employee. Based upon a January 1st start date, she is in a 5 Personal Year. Her essence number is also a 5 . Again, the Essence Number matches the Personal Year number which is an indication of difficulty. The 5 Personal Year can bring sudden and unexpected events as in her case. 

Ricki Pamela Lake (born September 21, 1968) is an American actress, producer, and Emmy Award-winning television host. On October 9, 2014 she separated from her husband and filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. Whether you use a January 1st start date or a Birthday to Birthday start date, she was in a 1 Personal year at the time. At the time of her separation she had a 1 Essence which is always an indication of the intensity of the events of that particular year. This is further proof of how important the Essences are. She also had an I Transit and was in the 5th year of that transit which is always an indication of an ending, completion or a letting go of some kind. 

Going back to Ricki's 1st marriage, she separated from him in August 2003. At the time, Ricki was in an 8 Personal Year and also had an 8 Essence. She had an R transit at the time falling between age 35 and age 36 which was the exact timing of the breakup and an indicator of an ending, completion or letting go. There is no question this too was an intense and difficult year for her.  

Robert William Finn (born April 2, 1953) is a bishop of the Roman Catholic Church, formerly bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-Saint Joseph, where he served from May 24, 2005, until he resigned on April 21, 2015. Finn is the first U.S. bishop to be convicted of the misdemeanor crime of failure to report a priest suspected of child sex abuse to government authorities. Whether you look at his Personal Year Number in 2015 using a Jan.1st start date or a Birthday start date, he is in a 5 Personal Year. 
What is quite telling is his Essence Number which is a 9 indicating an ending. All of his transits were 9s as well. What is most telling is the personal Month he was in at the time of his resignation in April. April is a 9 Personal Month for him. A 5 Personal Year brings change and all of the other indicators in his chart speak of an ending. 

Dion Rory Jordan (born March 5, 1990) is an American football defensive end for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL). He was considered the top outside linebacker prospect and was drafted by the Dolphins third overall in the 2013 NFL Draft. In April 2015, it was announced that he was suspended for the entire 2015 season for violations of the leagues substance abuse policy. Whether you use a Jan. 1st or a Birthday start date to the Personal Year, he would be in a 7 Personal Year in 2015. What is most telling is that he has a 7 Essence at the same time as his 7 Personal Year which indicates a difficult year. One of the attributes of a 7 Personal Year is extended periods of time off from your normal work routine which can arise from many different kinds of scenarios.  Anything from illness, injury to a lay-off can be the cause. 

Jonathan Dwight "JonJones (born July 19, 1987) is an American mixed martial artist and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. In April 2015, the UFC stripped light heavyweight champion Jon Jones of his title and issued him an indefinite suspension Tuesday. Those actions came as a result of the fighter's arrest on a "felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving death or personal injuries," per Marc Raimondi of MMAFighting.com. Based upon a January 1st start date, he is in a 7 Personal Year which can cause time off from your normal work routine as in the previous case of Dion Rory Jordan. If you used a Birthday start date , he would be in a 6 Personal Year which does not resonate as much as the 7. 
Benjamin Earl King (September 28, 1938 – April 30, 2015), known as Ben E. King, was an American soul and R&B singer. He was perhaps best known as the singer and co-composer of "Stand by Me"  sed upon a Jan. 1st start date, he was in a 9 Personal Year. Based upon a Birthday start date, he would have been in an 8 Personal Year. The 9 makes more sense as it represents endings and completions and helps to validate the Jan. 1st start date of the Personal Year. 

Joshua James Duggar Born March 3, 1988 is one of the children featured in the popular television show "19 Kids and Counting." The show was cancelled May 2015 based upon news that Joshua allegedly molested young girls as a teenager.  Joshua is a 14/5 Lifepath with a 5 Challenge. Numerically speaking, that is an indication of potential problems with sexual promiscuity. At the time of the announcement, Josh was in a 5 Personal Year with a 5 Essence which supports the statement that this particular configuration in a Numerology Chart represents a difficult time.  

Dick Costolo Born September 10, 1963 is the current CEO of Twitter; he also served as the COO before becoming CEO. On June 11, 2015, it was announced that Costolo would step down as CEO on July 1, 2015 and would be replaced by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey. Based upon a January 1st start date, he is in a 9 Personal Year in 2015. Ending his job as CEO occurred prior to his September Birthday. The 9 represents endings and completions so in this case, the January 1st start date is supported. 

Donald John Trump, Sr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American business magnate, investor and  television personality. He announced his run for the Presidency in June 2015. Whether or not he announced this before or after his Birthday has no bearing on when the personal year begins. 
2015 is a 1 Personal Year for him so at some point, a new opportunity will present itself. Still. with that being said, he has had some major financial setbacks since then which is where the Essence Number comes in. Donald Trump's Essence Number matches his Personal Year Number for 2015 which is an indication of difficulty. Trump has lost a string of business partners after saying some controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants. Among those who have cut ties include Macy's, NBC, Universal , Ora TV , Serta and Univision. 

Jason Andrew Pierre-Paul (born January 1, 1989), is an American football defensive end for the New York Giants . He  reportedly had his right index finger removed on Wednesday as a consequence of injuries he suffered during a Fourth of July fireworks accident . Whether you look at a Jan 1st start date or a Birthday start date to the Personal Year, Jason is in a 1 Personal Year in 2015 however, he has a 1 Essence which matches his Personal Year Number. Once again, this lends proof that whenever the Personal Year Number matches the Essence Number at the same time in a Numerology Chart, it is an indication of a difficult year. 
New
Justin Boyd Wilson (31 July 1978 – 24 August 2015) was a British professional open-wheel driver. He died as the result of a car crash while racing at the Pocono Raceway. Whether you determine the start date of the Personal Year on Jan. 1st or his Birthday July 31st, he was in a 1 Personal Year. This is another example where a person dies in a 1 Personal Year. He died in a 9 Personal Month and his Essence Number at the time of his death was a 9 as well. 

New
Lamar Joseph Odom (born November 6, 1979)  is an American professional basketball player.  He was named the NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2011 and won the 2009 and 2010 NBA championship with the Los Angeles Lakers. On 10/14/15 he was found unresponsive and rushed to the hospital. Based upon a January 1st start date of the Personal Year, Odom was in a 7 Personal Year. His Essence number was also a 7 which means the Personal Year Number and the Essence Number matched indicating a profound event or the difficulty of this year for him. 


Natalie Cole  ( born February 6, 1950 ) died 1/1/2016 at the age of 65. 
Natalie Maria Cole was an American singer, songwriter, and performer. The daughter of Nat King Cole, Natalie rose to musical success in the mid-1970s as an R&B artist with the hits "This Will Be", "Inseparable", and "Our Love"
Using a January 1st start date, she just began her 8 Personal Year on 1/1/2016. That would have made January 2016 a 9 Personal Month for her which seems appropriate because the 9 is symbolic of endings and completions. If you consider a Birthday to Birthday start date to the Personal Year , she still would have been in her 7 Personal Year and January would have been an 8 Personal Month for her which does not offer much validation for that theory. 

David Bowie  born January 8 1947 was an English singer, songwriter. He died January 10 2016 . At the time of his death, his Essence Number was  9 and he was in a 9 Personal Year. 
Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman (21 February 194614 January 2016) was an English actor. Rickman was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company performing in both modern and classical theatre productions. In January 2016, with January 1st being the start of the Personal Year, he was in a 5 Personal Year and also had a 5 Essence Number at the time of his death. 

 NEW Cam Newton Born 5-11-1989 ,the quarterback for the Carolina Panthers who played in Super Bowl 50. Cam is a 7 Lifepath, was in a 7 Pinnacle, 7 Personal Year, with a 16/7 Essence , and was playing on a 7 Day. There is no question he would have been devastated by the outcome of that game. The 16/7 is associated with rise to fall, often causing a humbling experience. He has duality with a matching Personal Year Number and Essence Number which always signals difficulty. If you were to use the Birthday start date of the Personal Year he would have been in a 6 Personal Year which does not substantiate the outcome.  

Payton Manning Born
3/24/17 , quarterback for the Denver Broncos, announced on 3/6/16 his retirement. Based upon a January 1st start date, he is in a 9 Personal Year in 2016. The 9 always brings completions and endings. His announcement was made prior to his Birthday. 


Johnny Manziel  Born  12/6/1992 is an American football quarterback who is a free agent. He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the 22nd overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft. Cleveland Browns let him go in March 2016 . Using Jan. 1st as a start date, in March 2016, he is in a 9 Personal Year. Even more so, March is a 9 Personal Month. The 9 is symbolic of endings and completions and his being let go by the Browns also transpired before his December Birthday. 

Marco Rubio Born
5/28/1971 ended his bid for the Presidency in March 2016. Based upon a January 1st start date for the Personal Year, Marco is in a 6 Personal year in 2016 which makes March is a 9 Personal month for him. The 9 represents endings and completions. 

New reports on
4/11/16 state: “Jordan Spieth's collapse at the Masters the most shocking in golf history
.Jordan Alexander Spieth Born 7/27/93 is an American professional golfer on the PGA Tour, and former world number one in the Official World Golf Ranking. He is a two-time major winner and the defending FedEx Cup champion. Based upon a Jan. 1st start date, he is in a 7 Personal Year in 2016. His Essence Number is a 16/7 so the Personal Year  and the Essence Number match. 

Donald Trump shook up his presidential campaign Monday with an announcement that his controversial campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, is out. Born 9/18/1973, Corey is in a 9 Personal Year in 2016. He also has an 18/9 Essence Number. 9 symbolizes endings and completions and the matching Year/Essence Number suggests this was quite difficult for Corey as one would imagine. 

 Philando Castile Birth date: July 16, 1983   was fatally shot by Jeronimo Yanez, a St. Anthony, Minnesota police officer, after being pulled over in Falcon Heights, a suburb of St. Paul. Castile was driving a car with his girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, and her four-year-old daughter. At the time of his death, based upon a Jan. 1st start date, he was in a 5 Personal Year and he also had a 5 Essence Number. The #5 is associated with sudden unexpected experiences and quite frankly accidental deaths. 
NEW
Ryan Daniel Buell born 7/8/1982 is an American paranormal investigator, author and producer who founded the Paranormal Research Society . Ryan was arrested in September 2016 for 2 felonies related to theft and stolen property. At this time, Ryan is in a 6 Personal Year and he also has a 6 Essence Number. This signals a profound and often difficult year. Given the fact that Ryan is an 8 Lifepath and born on an 8 Day, he has to be ethical in all of his business dealings, otherwise he will be held accountable and this is an example of how "being held accountable" plays out. 

NEW
Kevin Meaney (April 23, 1956 – October 21, 2016) was an American stand-up comedian and actor. At the time of his death, he was in a 9 Personal Year and also had a 9 Essence number. The #9 is symbolic of endings and completions.

was an American singer and songwriter best known as the frontman for the rock band Linkin Park. At the time of his death he had a 6 Essence Number and was in a 6 Personal Year. Although this does not add any evidence as to when the Personal Year begins, it does validate duality and the intense experiences we go through when our Essence Number matches our Personal Year Number. 

NEW: Mark Evan Halperin is an American author who was senior political analyst for MSNBC and Bloomberg Television as well as a contributor and former co-managing editor of Bloomberg Politics. Born: January 11, 1965 (age 52)

Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook,  is in a 3 Personal Year in 2018 with a 3 Essence which is a good indication of having a difficult year. Facebook is under fire for the Cambridge Analytics scandal.  
He also is a 16/7 Expression ( His Name) which is Karmic and means "rise to fall" 


Doris Day Actress: Born 4/3/1922 died 5/13/19 At the time of her death, she was in a 1 Personal Year with a 1 Essence Number. Duality was present in her chart. 

Jeffrey Edward Epstein Born 1/20/1953 was in a 6 Personal Year in 2019 with a 6 Essence. He was arrested and in jail awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges when he was found dead of an apparent suicide.

Kobe Bryant ,Birth date: August 23, 1978 died in a helicopter  crash on Jan.26, 2020. He had an 8 Essence and was in an 8 Personal Year at the time. 


It is unfortunate that Numerologists do not agree upon when the Personal Year begins and as I said, it can be exceedingly frustrating for anyone who studies Numerology. Experience is by far, the best teacher.

You cannot come to a conclusion about when the Personal Year begins without examining all the information present in a person’s Numerology Chart. You must take into account the Essences and Transits and even the Personal Month Numbers to be accurate when interpreting a Numerology Chart.
