The year in general.

The year 2012 is a number 5 year, which brings planetary change and movement. Worldwide, there is likely to be a focus on communication and travel, making the world seem like a smaller place. A 5 year brings changes in mental attitudes and sparks exploration and curiosity. Amazing scientific breakthroughs, whether planned or accidental, are likely. Public opinion will influence world leaders in 2012. There may be some unrest resulting in social uprisings and protests, but this will lead to positive reforms across the world. Number 5 also rules chaos and unpredictability, so we are in for some planetary shocks and surprises. There is a good chance that Mother Nature will again make her presence felt around the world through earthquakes and other shifts of energy.

Calculating your personal year number for 2012.

Calculating your personal year is easy. It will alert you on what to expect during the coming year so you can go with the flow.

To work out your personal year number for 2012, simply add the numbers of your birth day and month to the number of the current year and reduce it to a single digit.

example 1: 15 November 2012

1 + 5 (day) + 1 + 1 (month) + 2 + 0 + 1 + 2

would be 1+5+1+1+2+1+2 =13 (you don't need to worry about including the zeros)

which then adds down to 4

So if you were born on November 15th, your personal year number for 2012 would be 4.

example 2: 3rd March 2012

3 (day) + 3 (month) + 2 + 0 + 1 + 2 (year) = 11*

would be 3+3+2+1+2=11

As this is a Master number, we will not reduce it again.

So, if you were born on March 3rd, your personal year number for 2012 would be 2 or 11.*

* If your birth date reduces to 11, 22 or 33, dont reduce it further as these are Master numbers. There is extra depth for you in 2012.....read on!
