New Year Numerology, 2025
As we step into a new year, it's the perfect time to reflect, reset, and set intentions for what lies ahead. But what if you could align your goals with the natural energetic patterns unique to you? Numerology, the ancient practice of understanding the vibrational energy of numbers, offers a powerful way to do just that.
What Is Numerology?
Numerology is based on the idea that numbers carry specific energies and meanings. By calculating your Personal Year Number—you can gain insights into your strengths, challenges, and opportunities that lie ahead. This understanding can serve as a guide to help you move through the year, intentionally.
How to Calculate Your Personal Year Number
Your Personal Year Number gives you an idea of the overarching theme for the year ahead. It’s easy to calculate:
Add the digits of your birth month and day together.
Add that sum to the digits of the current year, (which this year is a 9).
Reduce the result to a single digit.
For example, if your birthday is March 19th:
Birth month and day: 3 + 19 = 22
Current year: 2025 (2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9)
Add them together: 22 + 9 = 31
Reduce to a single digit: 3 + 1 = 4
Your Personal Year Number for 2025 would be 4, symbolizing a building phase, preparing new structures and laying down foundations.
Aligning Goals with Your Personal Year Number
Each Personal Year Number corresponds to specific themes and energies.

7: Re-evaluating, Reflection and Inner Growth

A knowledge diving, solitude time to increase your intuitive abilities and care for yourself with love and kindness. A year of being a human being, not a human-doing.

9: Completion and Release
This is a year of letting go. Reflect on what no longer serves you and prepare for new beginnings. It’s a time to finish old projects, release emotional baggage, and make space for what’s next. You can not take it all with you - the load is too much. Set yourself, and others, free.
Shadow Aspect: Avoid resisting closure or holding onto the past out of fear of the unknown. You cant have the new beginning if you wont make the available space. The unravelling will feel scary and you may have to grieve what you're stepping out of. Have trust that your dreams will come true, forgive and let go.
