Personal Year (and Month / Day)

A 1-9 cycle said to describe the 'theme' of your current year, computed from your birth month and day plus the target year. Personal Month and Day nest inside it.

Add your birth month and day to the year in question and reduce; that is the Personal Year. The Personal Month and Day are derived by nesting the current month and day onto it. The cycle runs 1 (beginnings) through 9 (completion) and then repeats. Unlike the Life Path, this one changes over time, which is why it appears in a reading tied to a date. We show the full sum for each.

Not: Not a forecast of what will happen. It assigns a generic theme to a span of time; it cannot know your circumstances.

Any sense that the theme 'fits' is easy to generate after the fact — the descriptions are broad enough to feel apt in most years. Hold it loosely.
