According to Chinese numerology, our life is based on a nine-year cycle.

This is known as the epicycle. Personal year is yearlong cycle of energy. It describes the events and opportunities being presented for the upcoming year. Each year contains a different energy; so it’s better for us if we work according to our personal year. Conversely, if you fight the tone of the year, you will struggle all year long.

If someone’s date of birth is 22/July/1985, in 2002 he experienced a 6 personal year.

22+7+2002 = 2031
