Last week in my “Soul Speaks” group, Kevin mentioned a bumper sticker that read, “F*!k 2016.” This summed up what many of us felt about the 2016 year of completion. It’s not just another tough year—it marks the end of a 9-year cycle.
Numerology teaches that 2016 (2 + 0 + 1 + 6 = 9) is a 9 Universal Year, symbolizing closure, reflection, and service. It invites us to end unresolved patterns and experiences from the past nine years, preparing for a new cycle in 2017. This idea resonates deeply for those experiencing transitions, whether in careers, relationships, or personal growth.
What Is the 2016 Year of Completion?
The 2016 year of completion is about finishing what you’ve started since 2007. Take a moment to reflect on what was happening in your life back then. Are similar themes resurfacing now? These patterns are not random—they signal areas needing closure or transformation before moving forward.
How the 2016 Year of Completion Impacts You
Many have expressed feelings of frustration this year, saying things like, “I’ve been struggling with this for years, and I can’t take it anymore.” The 2016 year of completion pushes us to address these challenges, encouraging growth and evolution.
Think about where you’ve faced struggles this year—career, finances, relationships, or personal goals. What once seemed tolerable now feels unbearable, driving you toward resolution. This is your opportunity to shed what no longer serves you and fully step into your purpose.
Preparing for Rebirth After the 2016 Year of Completion
As we prepare for 2017, a “1” Universal Year symbolizing rebirth, it’s essential to leave behind what no longer aligns with your goals and values. Back in October, I learned about the 2016 year of completion, and it brought clarity to my impatience with toxic relationships and habits.
I wrote a list of everything I was tolerating and made a commitment to release it—all without guilt or apology. You can do the same. This is the time to clear out what doesn’t belong so you can begin 2017 refreshed and focused.
Questions to Reflect on During the 2016 Year of Conclusion
Ask yourself these powerful questions to gain clarity:
- What do I want to create more of in my life?
- Which patterns am I ready to let go of?
- What are my boundaries and deal breakers?
- What time-wasters prevent me from living my higher purpose?
- Who drains my energy and leaves me feeling depleted?
- What tasks do I need to delegate or stop procrastinating on?
- Where am I holding back out of fear?
Answering these questions will help you prepare for the fresh start 2017 offers.
Embrace Growth in the Year of Rebirth
Take these last days of 2016 to reflect and complete what belongs to the past. The 2016 year of completion challenges you to face hard truths and make decisions that will serve you in the long term.
