Essence
The internal year, drawn from the letters of your name — what is developing inside you.
An Essence number is an internal year, drawn from the letters of your name rather than from the calendar. Where the Personal Year describes the outer weather of a year, the Essence describes what is developing inside you across it. It shifts as different letters of your name come into play, so the sequence is personal to you.
