Includes a 90-day focus, not vague 'open to abundance.' Setup: 2 min to set up · Best AI: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (faster, sharp enough). Use Opus 4.6 if the user is in a major decision year (PY 1 or PY 9). · Cost: Free, MIT-licensed.
Why this is epic
Frames the year as a tendency-space, not a prediction. Better question than 'what will happen?' — 'how do I want to move with this year's underlying current?'
Connects the Personal Year directly to the user's stated current context, not generic 'you may experience' language.
Ends with a 90-day focus the user can actually act on, plus the 9-year cycle context — where you came from and where you're heading.

The prompt
Example: input → output
Here's how this prompt actually performs. Real input below, real output from Claude Opus 4.
<birth-month-day>03-14</birth-month-day> <current-calendar-year>2026</current-calendar-year> <current-life-stage>Forties</current-life-stage> <focus-area>Career</focus-area> <context>I've been a senior product designer at the same company for 9 years. Felt restless for 2 years. Got a job offer last week — VP of Design at a smaller company, 30% pay raise, but smaller team and unclear culture.</context> <key-question>Should I take the offer? Or is this restlessness about something else?</key-question>
The Math (verifiable)
Birth month: 0 + 3 = 3
Birth day: 1 + 4 = 5
Current year (2026): 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1
Sum: 3 + 5 + 1 = 9
No Master Number (no 11, 22, or 33 in the result). Personal Year 9.
Your Personal Year 9
A Personal Year 9 is a completion year — the close of a 9-year cycle, the year when patterns conclude before the next cycle begins.
The Underlying Current of This Year
PY 9 makes endings, releases, and integrations easier than usual. It makes brand-new long-term commitments harder than usual — not impossible, but harder, because the underlying current is 'wrap up,' not 'launch.' Things that are ready to end will end with less resistance this year. Things that aren't ready to end won't end no matter what you do.
This is the 'clearing the desk' year before next year (PY 1) which is the 'new chapter' year.
Where You Are in the 9-Year Cycle
Last year (2025) was your Personal Year 8 — mastery, material focus, maximum effort on the existing path. That you got a VP offer at the end of an 8-year is on-pattern: 8's harvest is often a recognition or upgrade in your existing trajectory.
Next year (2027) is your Personal Year 1 — pure new beginning, the energetic launch year.
This year — 9 — is the bridge. It's not a year for sustaining what you've been doing. It's a year for completing it cleanly so something new can land in 2027 with full attention.
Read on Your Stated Context
You've been at the same company for 9 years. That is — almost exactly — one full personal cycle. The 'restless for 2 years' tracks: PY 7 and PY 8 are when the soul-knowledge that 'this chapter is closing' often surfaces in mid-career people. You've been knowing this is over for two years. The offer didn't make you restless. The offer arrived because you were already restless.
Healthy Expression vs Shadow Expression This Year
Healthy 9: Honor the closing. Tie up the work cleanly at the current company. Document, mentor, hand off. Leave on good terms regardless of the next move. Treat the ending as part of what you're building, not as escape.
Shadow 9: Two failure modes. (a) Cling to the familiar past 9 — 'I'll just stay one more year' — and find yourself stuck in a chapter that has clearly ended. (b) Bolt to the new thing as escape, treating the new role as the answer rather than as the next chapter that you'll bring your unhealed patterns INTO. The shadow 9 leaves dramatically; the healthy 9 leaves cleanly.
On Your Key Question
Your question is 'should I take the offer?' but the PY 9 lens reframes it: the chapter at your current company is ending, regardless of whether you take this offer. That is the data point. The next question — 'is this specific offer the right next chapter?' — is a market-data question, not a numerology question.
Numerology says: the closing is real and on-time. Market data says: investigate the smaller company's culture before saying yes. Take a culture interview. Talk to 2 people who left. Ask the new CEO what 'unclear culture' means in their words. THAT data tells you about the offer. PY 9 tells you the leaving is happening either way.
If this offer isn't right, another will arrive. The chapter is already over.
90-Day Focus
Next 90 days, in this order:
Days 1-30: Diligence the offer. Two reference calls with people who reported to that VP role's predecessor. One off-the-record conversation with someone currently at the smaller company about culture. Get specific data, not vibes.
Days 31-60: Make the decision. If yes, give clean notice. If no, start a real search — with the understanding that you ARE leaving, just not for this offer.
Days 61-90: Begin handoff at current company. Document your work. Mentor someone. Leave the chapter complete, not abandoned.
Do not stretch this past 90 days. PY 9's energy fades after the calendar shifts. Decisions deferred past PY 9 land in PY 1 with the wrong shape — you'll be making 'closing' decisions in a 'beginning' year and they'll feel forced.
What This Year Is NOT
It is not a guarantee that any specific door will open. It is not telling you to take this offer. It is not telling you to refuse it. It is telling you that the chapter at the 9-year company is closing — that's the structural reading. What you build next is your decision plus your market data plus your readiness, not the number's instruction.

Best AI model for this
Claude Sonnet 4.6 (faster, sharp enough). Use Opus 4.6 if the user is in a major decision year (PY 1 or PY 9).
Pro tips
- Show the math every time. The user must be able to verify.
- Personal Year shifts approximately on the user's birthday — different schools weight this. Acknowledge the transition zone in late December / early January.
- Don't over-rigidly say 'wrong year for X.' Better: 'this year's current makes X harder/easier — here's how to work with it.'
- Personal Year is one signal. Don't override career/relationship/health decisions on PY alone.
- PY 9 (closing) and PY 1 (initiation) are the most decision-relevant years. Spend more time there.
- If the user gets a Master Number PY (11 or 22), expect more — both opportunity and demand — than a non-master year of similar archetype.
- The 90-day focus is the deliverable. If there's no behavioral specific, the reading didn't land.
Customization tips
- For Personal Year 1 (new cycle, initiation): The 90-day focus should be 'plant one seed, don't try to plant ten.' PY 1 over-commits and burns out.
- For Personal Year 5 (change/freedom): Address the high-volatility nature of the year — exciting but easy to confuse novelty with progress. Add a section on 'change vs movement.'
- For Personal Year 7 (introspection/study): The user often resists the year because it feels stuck. Reframe as preparation, not paralysis. Recommend study/skill-building over external action.
- For users in PY 4 (foundation/work) who are tired and want a 'big year': Honor the tired feeling. PY 4 is the boring year. Productive but not glamorous. The big year (8) comes later in the cycle.
- For users with a Master Number in their PY (11 or 22): Note that this is rare and intensified. Expect more — both opportunity and demand — than a non-master year of similar archetype.
- If the user's context suggests acute crisis (mental health, addiction, abuse): Step back. PY readings are not a substitute for crisis intervention. Direct to appropriate resources.
- For users who get 'unfavorable' PY readings (PY 4 or 7) and feel deflated: Rebalance. Every year in the cycle is necessary. PY 4 builds what PY 5 expands and PY 8 harvests. There are no 'bad' years, only mismatched expectations.
- For users asking about a SPECIFIC date this year (wedding, launch, surgery): Personal Day and Personal Month layers are more granular than PY. Mention this — they may need a different prompt.
