Personal Year number
4
Numbers describe tendencies in a symbolic tradition. They cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.
About this number
Among the nine, 4 is the one practitioners tie most firmly to upkeep: routines, paperwork, foundations and steady effort. The association rests on the number's older image, since Cheasley in 1916 gave it endurance and concentration and Sepharial in 1911 gave it solidity. Neither of them was writing about a year.
Taylor's 4 day has become a small period piece: rise early, hum a march, stride to work and clear the letters on time. Taylor does read the calendar year 1930, whose own digits total 4, in the same key of building, regularity and thrift, but that figure is the same for everyone and is not the sum from a birthday. Some popular writers call this a tiring stretch of the count and others a satisfying one, and the old books offer no way of checking either.
