The most significant year is seperate from the essence and personal year we've been talking about.
The Essence Number and the Personal Year Number are the two essential indicators of the forces that will influence your life during the course of any year. While the Personal Year runs from January to January, the Essence is most strongly felt from birthday to birthday. For example, if your essence number is 8 for the year 1988, you would begin to feel the influence of that
The Essence number indicates the lessons you will be dealing with during that year. It says a great deal about how you will perceive your environment. It also gives clear advice on how you can be most successful during the year, that is, which types of behavior will be supported by your milieu, and which ones will be less effective.
The essence numbers are the sum of the transit cyles for a given year. Right now, I'm in a 20/2 for this year only. Then I'll go to the 19/1 essence for 4 years.Ohhhnooo lol (1+9=10=1) so like drrnwynbchnbrgr pointed out the 19 reduced to a single digit (1) also comes into play. The length of these depends on the letters of the name. I understand the 8 to be an underlying vibration of the subtraction of these.
If you have a numerology chart you can look et the cycles to see how long the they last. Hope this has helped
