The personal year, pinnacles, and the grid
The personal year changes once a year, a pinnacle is a longer span, and the grid places digits in cells. All of it is still addition on dates. None of it marks an event.

Pinnacles and the personal year
Pinnacles and the personal year
Pinnacles and the personal year are still addition on dates. The personal year changes once a year. A pinnacle is a longer span. They mark a numeric theme. They do not mark an event date.

The nine-cell grid
The grid places digits in nine cells
The grid is how the digits of the birth date sit in nine cells. A cell shows whether a digit appears. It is not a direction and not a fortune map.

The personal year sits beside the life number
It adds the birth month, birth day, and the calendar year you ask about, then reduces. The life number is the base. The personal year is this year’s theme. It is not an annual astrology chart.
Pinnacle ages are the ones on the chart
Do not edit them from a verse. The grid is a separate picture that places digits in cells. It does not turn digits into lucky directions.
A personal year 1 beside a 7
Illustration: the life number is 7 and one personal year is 1. Write that the base is 7 and this year lays 1 on it. It is not “a new job starts this year.”
Common mistakes
- Turning the personal year into an astrology year.
- Using the cycle to pick a date.
- Turning the grid into geomantic directions.

Frequently asked questions
When does the personal year change?
On the calendar year the tool uses. Do not move it to a birthday unless the report already does.
If a pinnacle and a personal year disagree, which wins?
Keep both. One is the long span, the other is this year. Do not merge them into a number that is supposedly more accurate.
Can a personal year be a master number?
Yes. 11, 22, and 33 stay when they appear.
