The Nine-Year Cycle
In numerology it is believed that every person goes through a nine-year cycle continuously.
Each cycle last a year. As one nine-year cycle is completed, a new one begins.
How to calculate where you are in the cycle
Figuring out where you currently are in the cycle is easy.
Write down your birth date and the month of your birthday. Write down the current year. Add all the digits until you are left with a single digit.
For example let’s say your birthday is May 16th. Write down 5 (May is the fifth month) and 16.
Add 5+1+6= 12
Now add 1+2 = 3
For the current year 2013 – add 2+0+1+3= 6
Finally add 3+6=9
A person born on May 16th would be in the ninth cycle representing “completion” in 2013.
The Stages of the Cycle

If you are in the Personal Year 3 it will be a year you need to express yourself, to come in touch with your true feelings and emotions. This may be done in so many different ways; through socializing, writing, singing, painting, dancing and so on and on.
This is about telling the truth as you see it. This year can be both agonizing and inspirational.

If you ever dreamed of taking a Sabbath year this would certainly be a great time to exactly that. This is a year for cleansing.
It is also a year of legal matters. There is a high probability that legal disputes are resolved during the course of the year.
8 –Expanding
If you are in the year 8 you are meant to empower yourself. This is when you need to step up and lead; be the boss. Take responsibility and be the authority.
Show that you are capable of being in charge. It could be something in your daily life such as taking charge of organizing a school event or whatever.
It could also be stepping up as a leading power figure in a company.
This is about power. Don’t abuse the power. Remember with power also comes responsibility and integrity.
9 –Completing
This is the final year of the nine-year cycle. Completion and closure are key words this year. This is the time to come to terms with all that you have accomplished during the current cycle.
How did everything work out as you think back to year 1 when you laid down the foundation? Are you closer to your goals? Are you living your passion?
Now is the time to wrap things up. You also need to forgive and forget whatever you have lost or not accomplished.
You will soon be starting a new cycle. Be prepared.
The final year is also about money and assets. People who have gone through the cycle in a caring and passionate manner may often find their wealth has increased.
