Hey there, everyone! So something that I get asked about a ton is personal years, personal months and personal days. These are calculations that don’t necessarily get a whole lot of attention. If I’m doing a quick analysis for a friend, or someone who wants just a short reading, I these calculations probably wouldn’t be at the top of my mind.

I calculate Personal Years and Personal Months on every in-depth reading I do, as part of a larger component on cycles, including transits, the essence number, pinnacle cycles and period cycles. It’s probably overlooked by more people than would care to admit, because they believe there are bigger things to worry about.

Today, though, we’re going to talk about Personal Days. Your Personal Day number is ultimately based off of your birth month and day. It creates a nine-day cycle, that continually moves from 1 to 9, and then repeats. Personal Day numbers are a staple of most consumer numerology apps, so if you use one of those, you’ll probably find it there.

The Personal Day number reveals particular qualities or influences you’re likely to experience in a given day.

How to Calculate Your Personal Day Number

The calculation for arriving at your personal day number actually requires that we make two other calculations first, namely your personal year number, and personal month number, both of which can provide added insight to your personal day. Remember that these numbers create a subtle influence on more significant cycles such as period cycles and pinnacle cycles. You experience these influences daily, but as part of a greater, larger, overarching cycle.

Calculate Your Personal Year
Calculate your personal year by adding your day of birth and month of birth to the universal year (found by reducing the current calendar year). For instance, my birth date is April 13th. To find my personal year, I add 4 + 4(13) + 9(2025), and I would get 8(17). My personal year for 2025 is 8.

Calculate Your Personal Month
With your personal year number, you can calculate your personal month number by adding your personal year number to the universal month (calendar month). To find my personal month for April, I would add 4 (universal month) + 8 (personal year), and would get 3(12). My personal month for April 2025 is 3.

Calculate Your Personal Day
Finally I can calculate my personal day by adding the personal month and the universal day. You can see the pattern taking place now. To find my personal day number for today (April 26, 2025), I add my personal month number (3) and the universal day number (26 = 8) to get 2(11).

Note that when we’re working with the personal day cycles, I usually reduce even master numbers to single-digit numbers to get a clean 1-9 cycle. This seems to be the most common approach.

What Do Your Personal Day Cycles Mean?

Don’t let yourself become paralyzed because of a particular personal day number. If you have something you need to do, do it. Don’t become the victim of this cycle. However, take note of it. If you’ve got something you need to begin, or to finish, and you have several options for starting/ending dates, why not line it up with the appropriate personal day for the best chance at success. Although numbers would seem to be set in stone, that doesn’t take away the influence or power we have in our lives. Numerology in no way takes from our own personal agency.
