The Universal Year is calculated by adding all of the numbers in the year. For example, 2023 is a 7 Universal Year.
Your Personal Year is calculated by adding the month of your birth, the day of your birth, and the Universal Year (your birth year is NOT a part of this calculation). To find the Personal Year for a September 23 birthday, add 9 (September) to 5 (23 reduced) and 7 (2023 reduced). The Personal Year for this birthday is 21, which reduces to 3.
The Universal Month corresponds to the current month in the calendar. January = 1, February = 2, and so forth.
Your Personal Month is calculated by adding your Personal Year to the current month. In the example above, the Personal Month for February is 3 (Personal Year) plus 2 (February), which is 5.
To calculate the Personal Day, add your Personal Month to the current day. In this example, February 1 is a 6 Personal Day (5 Personal Month to day 1), which is about home and responsibilities. For another example, February 8 would be calculated by adding 5 (Personal Month) to 8, which is 13, reduced to 4. A 4 Personal day would be a day to organize, plan, and take stock of where you are.

The general energy of each of number is below, whether it refers to the year, month, or day. The year energy lasts all year and is influenced by the month and day. The month energy has enough time to build on, but the influence of the year energy is always in the background. The day influence goes by so quickly that it may be difficult to really feel the energy. However, if you start at day one with a goal for the 9 day period, the energy will build on the daily numerological energy, and real progress can be seen.
