Calculation steps

  1. Step 1

    Write the birth month number

    Use the number of the month of birth, such as 5 for May.

  2. Step 2

    Write the birth date number

    Use the day of birth as written in the source method before reducing the final total.

  3. Step 3

    Add the target year

    Use the last two digits of the year being studied.

  4. Step 4

    Add the birthday weekday number

    Add the number of the weekday on which the birthday falls in that target year.

  5. Step 5

    Reduce the total

    Add all four values and reduce the final total to a single number from 1 to 9.

The source calculation has four parts

To calculate the personal year number, write down the birth month number, birth date number, the last two digits of the year being studied, and the weekday number for the birthday in that year.

Add these four values together, then reduce the result until a single whole number remains.

Step-by-step formula

Use this structure: birth month + birth date + last two digits of target year + weekday number of the birthday in that year.

For example, May is 5 and a birth date of 12 contributes 12. If the target year is 1991, the year contributes 91. If that birthday falls on Sunday, the weekday contributes 1.

Example from the source method

The example adds 5 + 12 + 91 + 1. The total is 109, which reduces to 10, and then to 1.

That final 1 is the year number to read for that target year.

Reduce only after adding the full values

The example keeps the date as 12 and the year as 91 before reducing the final total. This is different from reducing each part too early.

Following the same order keeps the calculation aligned with the source method.

Read the result as a general tone

Once the final number is found, read the matching personal year number article. The source treats the result as a general view of the year.

It should be considered beside the person psychic number, destiny number, name number, and actual situation.
