It’s out with the old and in with the new as we make our way into 2025. But you don’t have to blindly navigate through a whole new 365 days. Personal year numbers, a numerology system that reveals the unique themes and energy for your upcoming year, will assist you in creating goals and intentions that flow with the energies of your life. Your number shifts each year, bringing new opportunities for alignment, growth and overall transformation. Your personal year number will shine a spotlight on the areas in life that you should be most focused on in the year 2025. 

From numbers one through nine, we will dive into what themes and lessons you may attract based on your personal year number. Without further ado, lets get into what lessons will be bestowed upon you in 2025. 

How to Calculate Your Personal Year Number 

Add your two-digit birth month and day to the year 2025.

For example, if you were born on August 8, you would add up the numbers in 08/08 to 2025:

0+8+0+8+2+0+2+5= 25.

Then add the digits 2 and 5, which equals a year 7. 

Personal Year 1: “I am re-defining my path”

No one is as lucky as you in 2025. If you’re walking into a personal one year, you are officially ending a nine year cycle — and with endings lie beautiful beginnings ahead. In 2024, your year nine consisted of lessons surrounding relationship cycles coming to a close, releasing old habits and putting to rest situations that no longer serve your growth. Your year nine has ushered you into a powerful new era for the personal year one — it is up to you to seize all positive opportunity that comes with it. 

This year is all about independence, taking bold steps towards the life you want to create and building momentum to reach your goals and aspirations. Personal year one’s energy will encourage you to pursue something brand new, whether it’s a career move, personal goal or relationship. You are being called to accept the challenges of independence and rely on your instincts. Year one is not the time to doubt your abilities or intuition; it’s a time to put plans into place for your life and implement steady routines that create tangible results. Year one is encouraging self-discovery. In 2025, you will also uncover new passions, strengths and even weaknesses that will call for fine-tuning. The year 2025 is about creating a new you. 

Key focuses are: 

• Releasing fear of failure
• Cultivating self-care habits
• Rejoicing in the moment
• Taking big leaps of faith
• Setting clear intentions/goals

Personal Year 2: “I am trusting the process”

Now is your time to shine if you’re entering a personal year two. Your personal year one was all about fresh starts, setting new goals and taking action; a year when you stepped into your confidence and began pursuing new interests that are in alignment with who you’d like to become. In 2025, you’re moving into a year of emotional growth and connection. Personal year two is about building meaningful relationships with yourself and others. Shifts towards balance, harmony and collaboration will be the focus of a year two. Year two will call for you to trust the process, as you are welcoming in a new sense of emotional depth that will require you to explore emotional wounds. But have no fear, you are capable of cultivating healthy practices that will help heal them. The year 2025 is a better time than ever to cultivate community and practice communication with yourself and your opposites. Being vulnerable about your life’s progress with others will allow them to help you in whatever spaces you may need assistance. Therapy and self-reflection techniques will be beneficial in your personal year two. Keep in mind, because you’ve planted so many seeds in year one, you may not see them blossom so quickly in year two, but you are expected to trust the process and to give yourself grace while creating your new sense of self. 

Key focuses are:

• Building bonds with those who share your personal values
• Nurturing meaningful relationships
• Having patience with yourself 
• Asking for help 

Personal Year 3: “I am showing up as my authentic self” 

Year three requires the effort of stepping into a more vibrant and exciting chapter of your life in 2025.

At this time, it’s best that you allow the world to see the most unapologetic version of yourself. The year 2025’s energy will feel free flowing, expansive and lighthearted. Trying on different mediums of expression for size, like art, writing and painting will be great ways for you to let your mind roam in this energy of freedom. Your social circle will grow at a rapid pace this year as well. Be careful not to get caught up in what others think of you as you embrace new ways of expressing yourself that may be a little unconventional to others. Nonetheless, express emotions that make you feel whole and excited — this will allow your inner light to brighten up the darkest rooms. Let this year guide you into eternal sunshine.
