Each calendar year carries a Universal Year number found by adding all the digits together and reducing to a single digit (or master number). For example, 1969 → 1+9+6+9 = 25 → 2+5 = 7. A decade's character emerges from the blend of all ten Universal Years within it, weighted by the events that occur under each vibration.
