Life graph

Your personal year is worked out from your birth date and the current year: add the digits of your birth day and month to the digits of the year, then reduce the sum to a single number from 1 to 9 (11 is kept as is). It changes every year and completes a full loop over nine years: from 1 — the start of a new theme — through growth and tests in the middle, to 9 — the close of the cycle, after which it begins again. The graph plots these numbers year by year for each of the two people, so you can see where your phases line up (easier to understand each other) and where they diverge (one needs calm, the other change).

The cycle runs from 1 to 9 and repeats throughout life. What each year leans toward:

1. 1
   New beginnings, independenceA year of self-directed decisions and fresh starts. You want to do things your own way and may feel alone. A good time to plant what will grow later.
2. 2
   Cooperation and relationshipsA softer, connective year: friendships come easily and you want to share. Others’ help serves you well. Guard your nerves — stress cuts deeper than usual.
3. 3
   Communication and creativityA social, expressive, learning year. Channel the energy into talk and hobbies, or it turns to irritability. Old ties and past themes often resurface.
4. 4
   Work and stabilityA year of steady work and order. Slow but solid progress, a pull toward home and security. Don’t overload — pace your energy.
5. 5
   Freedom and changeA year of movement and change, freedom in action and thought. You crave the new — travel, people, new habits. Change is welcome but asks for responsibility.
6. 6
   Home, love, responsibilityThe most “family” year: relationships, home, caring for others. Many choices and duties; find balance and time for yourself. A year of growing closer and of milestones with the people who matter.
7. 7
   Analysis and inner growthA year of deep change and reappraisal — often not easy. You lean toward solitude, reflection, the spiritual. Helping others eases your own struggles and grows you.
8. 8
   Achievement and balanceA year of harvest and reward, matching your past efforts. Health improves, career clears, harmony returns. Power asks for wisdom and honesty.
9. 9
   Closing the cycleA year of endings and letting go before a new cycle. Things depart — ties, work, habits; priorities get rethought. One of the hardest, but it grows you a lot.
