Prince William's Personal Years

Recently, he started 5 weeks of training in the navy abroad and next year, he will become a full time royal member. So he will face more duties related to that new status.

As an important public individual, his behaviour and his future are great subjects of talking and writing.
Since his childhood, he has been under people's scrutinity and it is unlikely that people's interest for him will fade through the years.

Last year, Prince William experienced very rude press articles, maybe for the first time of his public life.
Since 2007, he has been highly critisized regarding his supposed lack of commitment in his duties and his on-off relationship with Miss Kate Middleton.

Career and Love life are the angular pieces of our life; and when they are subjects of criticism, it is easy to face feelings of resentment or failure.
I can imagine how hard it is to cope with people's criticism and scrutinity when you are a young grown-up man, who is still building up your identity and perhaps still looking for the way you will express your talents and abilities.
Life is about growing up and growing up implies outer and inner transformations, successes and failures.

20's are THE period of great transformations for any individual.
It is time to quit our parents's home, to define who we are and what we want, to find a career that suits us best, to meet and (perhaps) to commit with someone.

In brief, 20's are a period in which big choices have to be made...big choices that will greatly conditions our life and that cannot be made without deep questionings.

I found so funny to read articles about Prince William's relationship with Miss Kate Middleton, clearly pushing him to commit and marry his girlfriend now because :
1) Miss Middleton has been his on-off girlfriend for 5 years now,
2) He has invited her to some significant events and so on.

Why we can't let the guy alone to figure out what he really wants?!
Commiting with someone, overall in his position, is certainly the most important decision he will do in his life!

We believe as he was born a prince, Prince William has alreadly all his life planned and so he has not to deal with the inner turmoils of others young people of his age.
We believe as he was born a prince, he will be always the same man through the ages.
But we have to admit that Prince William has to face the same questions than people of his age and he is certainly changing, physically of course, but also mentally.
Many people are astonished and so they tend to be easily critical regarding his « new » behaviour.

Am I the only person being not surprised that Prince William has changed ? I don't think so.
We are aware that changes and transformations are part of a human being's life, but how rare are those articles about Prince William that shed light on that aspect of his life.
After all, he is more than his function - he is a man... A man with an extraordinary status, but first of all a man. A man I think can greatly and positively impact this world.

Prince William was highly critisized for his break-up last year with his 4 years on-off girlfiriend, Miss Kate Middleton and apparently for being lazy and less productive than his younger brother, Prince Henry.

When I was trying to figure out some significant events of his life, I could see how numerology can be very accurate to explain his behaviour and major changes in his life.
By looking at Prince William's personal years in numerology, I found that his life was coherent, in regards to numerology, and his behaviour was probably misunderstood.

Numerology studies Life's periods through cycles of 9 years.
Each number has its energy which expresses through diverse ways, more active or passive.
That energy will either facilitate or challenge the individual's development.

Personal years in numerology are keys to help us to understand better the energies that may drive us in a certain moment of our life.

In 2007, Prince William lived a personal year 8 until June, 21. 2007

Major event : Public split and reconciliation with his 4 years on-off girlfriend

How can numerology explain this event ?

Let's first tell about the energies of a personal year 8.
A personal year 8 is about self-affirmation in all levels : material, social, personal, mental and spiritual.

It is a year of profound transformation when one decides to resume full possession of oneself and when one tries to redefine one's identity according to one's real needs.
It is a year of achievement when the individual should be able to act freely without embarrassment.
That achievement can also be achieve through struggles, external or internal.

The personal year 8 requires courage, dynamism and especially lucidity, all factors essential to progress. Frankness and honesty are highly recommended.

In terms of personal relationships, people in authority will help the interests of the individual. It is a period when we must move forward and when stifling bonds and relationships are cut.

How do the energies of 8 expressed in Prince William's life ?

Prince William spent a rich personal year 8 as part of assertiveness.

He completed successfully his training at Sandhurst and, in regard to his love life, some hoped he would finally engage with his girlfriend.
In principle, if that relationship had to pass the next level, Prince William would have engaged with his girlfriend during that personal year 8, which is favorable to unions.

However there was a separation.
The energies of 8 is also said to support "necessary" separation, that is to say getting rid of people, places, habits that do not help us to express ourselves as we are.

It can therefore be assumed that the decision to break up with his girlfriend was part of Prince William's process of self-affirmation and his desire to meet his real needs.
In defying the expectations of others, Prince William manifested in his relationship, the energies of that personal year 8. And so, he showed maturity, contrary to what some asserted.

That break-up was followed by a reconciliation under the influence of personal year 9.

The personal year 9 is a year of review, of endings.
It's time to question, to put an end to difficult situations for renewal. That is the year of sweeping the past to make way for a brighter future.

The personal year 9 is a period when sensitivity and emotion grow considerably to narrow perceptions. Sometimes sensitivity meets sentimentality when it is not channeled.
It is also the year of the Ideal. Humanitarian actions or artistic works are promoted.

The material has virtually no place, only moral and spiritual values are concerned ; vibration stimulates self-absorbtion and detachment (either naturally or by obligation), thanks mainly to intellectual or spiritual soarings.

Any form of commitment will therefore be the subject of dissolution, then it is pointless to cling to illusions and lost causes.
It is common to see some emotional and financial problems which, incidentally, are mirrors of sterile expectations, the year of Self gift requires.

Then it is interesting to note that the reconciliation happened under the influence of a personal year 9 (detachment, sensitivity (or sentimentality), ideal, altruism), shortly after a separation under the influence of 8 (assertiveness, self-respect and respect of personal desires and needs).

While in the dynamics of progress (influence of 8), Prince William dared to cut a significant bond that was perhaps not enough consistent with his real needs, he renewed the bond under the influence of energy 9.
Therefore that reconciliation may appear as an emotional, and probably sentimental and thoughtless attempt on the part of Prince William to cling to something he was familiar with.
If it was under the influence of a personal year 2 or 6 - the year of unions, according to numerology, that reconciliation would be interpreted very differently.

Prince William has also been criticized for being lazy, for not being involved enough in royal duties and be too sel-absorbed.
The personal year 9 may provide some answer about his behaviour.

The energies of personal year 9 are also those of detachment and sel-absorbtion.
The individual feels the need to be alone and reflect on his life to make a fresh start.

Detachment has many facets, including travels, expressing the need to move away from one's reality and to broaden one's horizon and to visit other dimensions.
The trip can be lived in a dream or in reality, anyway the mind is often bathed in a flood of strangeness. Psychic abilities can express more easily too.

When I looked at Prince William's pictures, I saw a self-absorbed man who certainly needed to focus on his own interests and desires, to devote time and energy to himself.

The time was appropriate and it was good for him to take his « me time ».
As the 9 personal year is a period of self-reflection and renewal, by taking the time to go within to dream and reflect, we restore our emotional and mental balance.

Sometimes there was something like apathy in Prince William's behaviour, and maybe he felt stuck emotionally but if he used that period to reflect positively on his needs and interests, and finally planed something he likes to focus on and engage his mind and his heart in, surely his path will become clearer and the next cycle of 9 years will be very positive.

What is interesting to notice is the energies of number 9 are actually important in Prince William's life, because his life destiny number (1), his first pinnacle number (2) and his first vowel (3) are driven by the energies of 9.

As an individual greatly influenced by the energies of 9, Prince William may be the peacemaker type.

In his healthy expression, The 9 individual is the kind to do the right thing, to open up to others and accept them as they are. Peace and Love are clearly what he longs for.
He will look strongly for unions and are the kind to hate conflicts. The 9 individual finds happiness into humanitarian service, arts, learning and teaching others. He is highly sensitive.

When he starts to be less accepting of others or the world, it means that he feels cut from his own Self and, in relationships, that he finds less vital energy to sustain his need for feeling united. The 9 individual's main fear is the fear of separation.
That means 9 individual are the kind to nurture illusions of unions. Either they may ignore reality or blindly accommodating others and so they will tend to stay in stormy environments or relationships.
