What is a Personal Year?
A Personal Year is calculated from the birth month and day plus a target year. Personal Month and Day nest inside it.

Personal Year comes from the birth month and day added to the target year, then reduced. Each year in a nine-year cycle has a tone: beginning, building, harvesting, releasing, and so on.
Personal Month is Personal Year plus the target month. Personal Day is Personal Month plus the target day. They nest, so a 1 year still contains quieter and busier days.
