Lesson 2

Professor Snow sat at her large wooden desk, quietly thinking of some options for the coming year after entering the marks for her Sixth Years into her Gradebook. They seemed to be a bright bunch so she hade faith that they would be fine learning new subjects for this year, after all they were preparing to take the highest form of examinations that Hogwarts can offer next year. When the students began to arrive she motioned for them to Quickly sit down so she could begin today’s lesson, it was exciting and challenging at the same time so she had no time to waste in her lecture.

Once they were all seated she stood up from her desk quickly and stopped right in front of her desk, now that the class was all present she could begin. ”Over your past few years of study you have become familiar with the essentials that offer insight into your character, motivations, and opportunities. We will now take your learning one step further and find out how your individual nature is effected by the timing of key events and cyclic influences.” Effie started off carefully and slowly, this year was filled with lessons that weren’t exactly her most favorite parts to teach but they had to be taught so the Sixth years could all do well on their NEWT’s the following year. Professor Snow started to pace again, a habit she usually did when she began to lecture on about something.

”Today we will be discussing the Personal Year. The Personal Year is a vibration that you can immediately recognize and receive benefit from. Even in your relatively short lives, perhaps you have already noticed that during some years you have felt particularly restless and eager to begin new undertakings? Or that in other years you felt quite content to stay at home? You may have even felt like you were letting go of much with which you previously identified and experienced great anticipation about the future. What I am describing is the influence that The Personal Year can have on you. Our lives have a certain rhythm and there are optimal times to initiate new tasks and now is your time to learn about how to discover these times and In order to calculate your Personal Year, we must first determine the Universal Year.” Professor Snow pulled out her wand and carefully pointed it at the board where some text began to appear neatly on it.

Universal & Personal Year
 

The Universal Year

Add the numbers of the current year 

Reduce them to a single digit from 1 to 9 

2025 

2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9

Therefore, we are in the Universal Year 9.

Now that we know the Universal Year, we are ready to calculate our Personal Year. To figure out what your Personal Year is, add your month and day of birth to the Universal Year.

Birth Month + Day of Birth + Universal Year = Personal Year

1 + 2 + 9 + 9 = 21
2 + 1 = 3

3 Personal Year
This year wants to expand your life and focus. It brings increased activity and recognition. Enthusiasm moves into the picture. You may find yourself quite busy with more social interaction. Seeds can be planted in the hearts and minds of those around you. If you become confused by too many directions, pick the one that excites you the most. Expression and Creativity are highlighted.


Once Effie carefully explained how to Calculate the Personal year she made sure that she also told the students there they could find descriptions and results on their Personal Year. It was simple enough as long as one had an open mind and wanted to learn it. ”Your homework is to discover your Personal Year and comment briefly on the result. Class Dismissed.” She mused softly before she waved them off and took a seat back at her desk so she could finish grading papers.

Homework:

1. Roleplay the lesson
2. For Extra Credit Calculate your Personal Year and comment briefly on Results

Personal Year

Nadia felt like the morning went by as a blur. She'd hardly any sleep from the night before; feeling swamped and confused, she did most of her homework twice thinking it wasn't right. She put on her Ravenclaw school uniform; the usual white blouse and black skirt with her black converse sneakers, then, tied a blue ribbon around her left ankle. As she was sort of, haunting around her dormitory to get dressed, she passed by a mirror and realised she must have dreamt she was some sort of freak last night, because her face was unnaturally white, her left eye was a bright blue, and her hair was choppy short and brown. Nadi sat in a sort of awe for a moment, and quickly changed herself back to normal. She packed her bag with her parchment, ink, quill and arithmancy books, and headed down the stairs.

On her way down she skipped every two steps to work out her muscles a lot more. It took her a lot longer, and she got a heck of a lot of funny looks from the rushing students, but she was going to do what worked for her. Eventually she made it down, and was sure she'd be late, but managed to slip in just before her professor closed the door. She took her seat in the third row, and slung her backpack around the back of her chair, taking out her supplies. She was relatively alert, considering the amount of hours she slept, and managed to pay attention to what Professor Snow was teaching them.

When it was time to take notes and do work, Nadia unscrewed the lid to her black ink and unrolled a piece of parchment. She dipped her gray-white quill into her ink, and began to write out her work.

2 + 0 + 3 + 1 = 6

Birth Month + Day of Birth + Universal Year = Personal Year

1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 6 = 8

8 Personal Year
After the reflection of last year, it is time to move from the inner world into the outer world and manifest in greater ways what you have been working toward during the last seven years. Material issues, career, and worldly accomplishments come to the forefront. Organization is again important and monetary gain is possible.


This makes me think a little bit, that this year will turn out better for me than the previous, because it says that I may be getting a little extra galleons, maybe...
Nadia finished her homework and headed back to the Ravenclaw common room. She was feeling alittle off today.

[justify]     Isabella Romanes walked into the Arithmancy classroom where she looked over at Professor Snow and she greeted the French blonde before she took her seat. Her straightened hair rested flat on her back and shoulders, almost shielding her Slytherin Prefect badge from the view of others. Isabella waited as patiently as she could for the class to begin because she was in love with the art of Arithmancy. She loved it like she loved Ancient Runes. Both of the electives were worth her taking. Isabella sure did not regret it at all. The Slytherin Prefect looked up at the professor when she started to speak to the sixth years. They were told some things that Isabella struggled to understand. However it soon clicked as she went on to copy down the things that came from Professor Snow's lips so that she could have a good time in class, and learn as much as she could in Arithmancy even if she would need to look this over again.

     The day's topic was over the Personal year, which was obviously new to the sixth years. What Professor Snow was saying was making perfect sense. Everything she often said about the subject made sense, and now Isabella was curious to see why sometimes during the years, she would feel a certain way and another, she would not. Apparently it was the personal year having this affect upon her. Apparently first they would have to identify the universal year. She would have to add the year she was born together and reduce them to a single digit. That seemed easy enough for the young Slytherin. Now they had to add the birth month, the day of birth and the universal year together to get the personal year, and reduce it to a single number. Isabella could not wait to get this done. After she copied down how to do so, they were told that their homework was to calculate their personal year. Easy enough. She copied that down and she left upon dismissal to do her work.

"This is somewhat true, since I have been working on everything like that this year, although because of how young I am, I don't think monetary gain is very important this year."
