Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |

What it covers
Personal cycles are the Pythagorean timing system. The Personal Year (1–9) sets the annual theme. The Personal Month refines it to a 30-day window. The Personal Day gives the daily energy flavour. A Personal Year 1 favours new beginnings; a 9 favours completion and release. Cycles nest: the same number in Year, Month, and Day simultaneously creates a peak intensity day.
Formula:
Personal Year = birth_month_reduced + birth_day_reduced + target_year_reduced
Personal Month = Personal Year + target_month, reduced
Personal Day = Personal Month + target_day, reduced
Master numbers 11 and 22 are preserved where they arise.
Workflow
BEFORE: None — standalone.

Do not confuse with
asterwise_get_personal_year — returns Personal Year only, no month or day breakdown.
asterwise_get_numerology_profile — core name numbers; personal_year field is null there.
