Unlike some other Numerologists, I count the vibrationl personal year from January through December rather than from Birthdate to Birthdate. To calculate your Personal Year, add your month number, your birth DAY number to the current year number.
Example: March 16 added to the coming year 1997:
The Nine Pointed Star represents the Nine Year Cycle of beginnings and endings.
FOCUS: A path cut straight and level along difficult lines. With proper apprehension and caution there will be good fortune. Capable of interpreting and executing the most difficult of things. Gaining a fuller understanding of life. CRYSTAL=Garnet, Ruby
This is the first year of the nine year cycle. This year will shape your life and encourage your progress through the coming cycle. It will test your character as a human being and prepare you for the next round in your human experience. The Number One year is always a time of New Beginnings.
You have the feelings and desires to move foreward, to improve your living situation, to do something about your present conditions, and to get on well with the world. All of these feelings will influence your thoughts and deisires. These feelings will be vibrations and natural urges within you. There is an urge for improvement of your life on all levels, material and spiritual, from January through December.
Life never remains the same for long. This is good! Otherwise there would be stagnation instead of progress and learning. Humanity would disappear into nothingness. If you are not aware of a desire this year, of a sort of inner unrest, or a need to improve something within your life situation, environment or character, to become aware of what is going on around you, you might be taken by surprise to find that the Divine has acted to settle some things for you.
It is now adviseable to overhaul your way of living. Make an effort to put your best foot forward. Take up meditating, or any hobby that will freshen your thinking and broaden your general activities. Do this NOW, during your Number One opportunity year.
The events of the year are not necessarily earth shaking nor will they completely change all that you are doing, unless you want them to, or plan for changes, but this year will indicate a time for improvement, advancement, to gain a new grip on all of your undertakings. This new cycle is a PUSH forward and will certainly prevent you from getting into a rut.
People unconsciously begin to grow old, or perhaps let down a little when they fail to recognize this "new beginning". Life will then slowly begin to pass them by.
Be determined, if you have new plans and ideas. Please move forward cautiously and consider all undertakings carefully. They will all work out gradually as the twelve months unfold. Your Number One Personal year is like a crossroad. You standing between the old --- the past --- and the new --- the future - which you will now create. Your future depends on you, your actions and thoughts throughout this year. Do not be impulsive, for there will be many decisions to be made, month by month, before you can fully accomplish what you started out to do when this year began. Reach out now for you new opportunities.
The Number One year is a "renewal" year. Everyone needs something new from time to time and change always creates progress of some sort. Possessions wear out and need to be repaired or replaced. This is a part of living, and especially so during this "new beginnings" year. Even our characters need to be remodeled. This may be true for you when your self-esteem, courage, faith, energy and your future plans are tested during the vibrations of the Number One year. This will not be an easy year. It is a very active year and there will be many decisions to make. Other people will be involved and there will be many things to be taken care of before your final plan and direction can be revealed.
To an active person, it may seem a part of the ordinary, daily events. To another, living a carefully organized life, new events may seem like problems. The events will be according to how well you can let life flow or if you try to hang on to the past. It is when we try to hold on to people, situations, and possessions above all else, that the unexpected tends to disrupt our present way of life. The Number One year renews our opportunities, quickens our Spiritual Forces from within, and keeps our life moving forward. Make your actions and decisions worth-while toward others also, because your life rewards will come if you do.
During the early months of this year, it is wise not to be hasty, impulsive or too determined against all good advice. Progress now depends on you and your ideas, but others have an interest too, and must be considered. You may feel as if they are holding you back, but remember that this is the year for planning. During the first part of this year, health matters of the family or close associates could take much of your time and attention, especially when you are preparing to do other things. Accept these circumstances as a part of the delay of the moment, and please avoid resentment or anxiety. Worry and strain can affect your own health. In the Spring you should begin to get under way or to become more defined, bringing much responsibility in the month of May. Take time out in June to think things over and seek advice. Meditate often and follow your inner guidance by not being too over anxious, as ideas need time to be planted and to set down roots. This is not a time to force any issues. Many results will begin to come to a head during the month of August and by December you will be at work on the plans which have been developing along all year.
FOCUS: Exercising caution. That which is in a state of repose and freedom. A sense of heaven and earth combined. CRYSTAL= Citerene, Topaz
The vibration of a Two Year is quite different from those of a One Year. The self interest, determination and initiative are no longer needed. Your purpose and direction will be underlying all that you do, but success and good results now will be obtained through diplomacy, cooperation and unity established between yourself and all of your relationships. All during the Number Two year of your nine year cycle, agreements and harmonious relationhsips in business, romance, family, children and associations will depend upon your willingness to share, when mutual benefits are required. Your future in later years of the nine year cycle will reflect your choices this year! The need for a tactful approach in all dealings or undertakings is vitally important, and the exercise of patience when delays seem to hold up your results, is the test for your ultimate success.
If it is a part of your plans for this year to bring about a separation from a personal or business union, for better opportunities or to heal your environment, meet the opinions or oppositions of others in such a way that such action does not become a problem, especially for you. Resistance, condemnation, judgment or dominance will bring unhappiness and perhaps even regret. It is really your task through all of your Number Two year, to keep peace in your mind and heart. Otherwise you could be forced by others into an ungracious or unloving action. You could feel subordinated and not in control of your plans or future. There is a spiritual overlay to this year which is the realization that peace, harmony and good will in all of your activities is more important than any other way or action.
There is always a sweet note running through a Number Two year. Love affairs, weddings, pleasing companions, good friendships and many social events. New opportunities and new associations will open the way to the experiences of your coming Number Three year, which will be helpful when you begin that cycle.
The Number Two year will be quite busy, with endless demands on your time. So much so that you may wonder how you will take care of all of the responsibilities, not to mention just how you will get it all done. The Number Two year is designed to be a wonderful one! The year brings exciting new contacts, new friends, new interests, group enterprises and surprises of all kinds. This all adds up to making the Number Two Year one of your BEST.
The Number Two year will hold many promises, which may not be fulfilled all at once. Your talents, the plans you are working on, your special personal interests will bring about several offers and contracts throughout the year. What you can do for others, based on what you have done is the past, will be the attraction of the year. There could be a thrill of accomplishment, or perhaps a disappointment, when the actions, understandings and cooperation are not a part of the unfoldement. Remember to think each idea out carefully! Consider your ultimate goals at all times. Estimate your future in relationship to what you want out of life. Realize that timing and the time you put into your efforts are a part of the results. In this way, you will avoid the possibility of defeating the ultimate reward and agreement. Your experiences will be deep and many times emotional. Even so, do not allow your feelings to cause you to act hastily or become too demanding. Move forward as circumstances demand it and keep a cheerful mind. Enjoy working with others for a useful cause. You will realize by the end of the year that you are happier and that a big need or problem had been adjusted, and worked out to a mutual satisfaction.
Up to July, do not hurry results. Time is very important and things may seem delayed or slow. From then on, you should know where you stand and exactly what you are going to do. By the end of the Number Two Year, plan more time for yourself, your personal interests and your progress.
FOCUS: Patience, prudence and tact with carefullness will bring success. Seeking after strange objects or experiences too much could change the course of your whole life. CRYSTAL: Adventurene, Jade
This year, the third year of your nine year cycle, belongs to YOU. You will be involved with the affairs of others because we are never entirely free from duty and responsibility. Other people take our time and need our help. However, now and then we have the right to think about our own affairs and what we want to do. The things that seem personally important to us alone. Otherwise, we would never find our true selves, or discover our true inner worth. Our lives would be dull and feel as if they were always dominated by the needs of others.
The Number Three year's purpose is to help you to believe in yourself and the ideas you have been carrying in your heart and mind, but have never been able to express. You have only dreamed about them! Our dreams have a way of coming true for us, in the most surprising of ways! Inspiration, imagination, creative thought and deep emotional feelings are all the qualities and character that make people great, and give warmth and color to all levels of life; business, art, entertainment, labor, or the most practical fields of endeavor.
Keep in mind that this is not a duty year for you, even though you will have many tasks to take care of. Follow your strong desire for self-improvement, self-development, at lease in some simple and constructive way. Find the time to do so, but think out the plan without too much emotion as this might cause you to act impulsively and extravagantly.
To be yourself and dare to follow a dream, to go ahead with an idea, does not mean to throw all standards to the wind, just to get your own way. In fact, this should be guarded against, for you are likely to be very sensitive, especially about what people say, even unemotionally, and you could make some costly mistakes. Constructive self-development should not be expressed as over self-importance or conceit.
This will be an eventful year! Pleasure, travel, many social activities, friendly gatherings and entertainment are in store for you. Your best results are always attained by a happy and peaceful mind. Love affairs, marriage, partnerships, perhaps yours, will give you much to think about, with overly deep emotional feelings, on your part.
We all experience many nine year cycles during our lifetime. As the years of a nine year cycle come and go, each one presents its own special requirements and obligations. These energies are the basis for progress and contain the ingredients for our personal success, happiness, and ultimate attainment as the years go by. The experiences they bring serve to develop your inner character and prepare you for future opportunity. They also subconsciously test and awaken your spiritual nature. These years will direct you to self-confidence and self-esteem and help put you into your rightful place in the world.
The Number Three year should be a very happy year. It is intended to be but depends on you and your emotional direction, your renewed sense of confidence, and the interesting activities you are now undertaking. At the end of this year that which seemed impossible in the beginning of the year, should be accomplished, leaving you with a feeling of work well done and that this year was very worthwhile.
During the first part of this year, make sure your plans are well thought out. Put them down on paper if necessary. Even this special inspirational and creative year must be planned out from a practical and working basis. Resentment, arguments, jealousies, harsh words, from friends and associates or even on your part, should be quickly adjusted to avoid disappointments and delays. Renew your plans within your own heart. Don't feel at any time that you are put down or not given the credit for what you can do. Get good advice, instructions, have faith in yourself, but always guard against hasty or impulsive action, for right here, right now, your happy Number Personal year could get off to a wrong start. This would scatter your energies toward regrets, inertia or lack of physical well being.
Friends will be willing to help you, if you're not lacking in consideration for yourself and others. At the same time, consider other people's advice carefully for their wanting to share with you, their caring and enthusiasm. Be careful as they could lead you on a detour or wrong action, and cause delays both material and spiritual, before you can get on the right track again. Be sure to go within to get your final direction and the right guidance.
If your life is well established and you do not feel the need for change, especially if your work and way of living is routine, be sure to add fun an inspiration to the lives of others. Entertain, give gifts, (avoid extravagance which is one of the possible scattering forces of the year) and take time to renew your friendships. Study, read, attend lectures, and freshen your mental and creative faculties. Your plans for self-development should bring you popularity, romance, love and admiration. The eternal triangle in your life may call for decisions on your part, and you will need to exercise emotional control. Do your part to make this cycle of your life path beautiful and harmonious. Keep up your enthusiasm and your dreams. A spiritual enlightenment can come to you as the year ends to make all the changes worth while. You will have a winning Number Three year!
FOCUS: Should be to work on emotional control and unravel complications. Neutrality is good. Bring yourself into agreement with others. Focus and direct all advantages into a single course and then ten times the success will come. CRYSTAL: Rose Quartz, Emerald
This one is your "year of opportunity". The Number Four personal year has a serious tone. It is a practical period in your life. This is not a time for dreaming, personal indulgences or careless living. Your dream-creating time was last year.
The Number Four year is a building year, based on practical values and steady application to assure you the results of your labors. It is a time to think in terms of order, system, good management and economical procedure for a more stable and secure future. The progress of the year may seem slow, but time will be needed to place the firm foundation upon which your future depends. This is not necessarily a problem, it is simply one of those times in your life when it is up to you to know where you stand in life and be practical about it.
All of your affairs, living conditions, family matters and business activities should given economical consideration to establish stability and a firmer basis for future growth and dependability. A lot of application and attention to details will be a part of your daily requirement. You may not want to do this, or feel as if you have already done this over such a long period of time, but it is likely that circumstances will come into play that will make it much worth your while to put a little more effort and system into even your social interests. This will bring to you better, stronger relationships and peace of mind. If you do this, when the year is complete, you will feel a sense of satisfaction and pleasure, because you have accomplished what you set out to do. The end of a Number Four year can even seem like a transition from one level of living into another. There will be a change in your environment, emotional relationships and business conditions.
There will be times when you will be judged by your character, the way you take hold of things, how you use your energy and common sense. As you develop strength of character and learn to make choices and actions from strength and careful planning, you will achieve good results and progress will be made.
"All work and no play" is not the only rule of this Four year however. There will be fun throughout the year. Social gatherings, meetings, parties, trips, combined with business are all a part of this year's activities. Take part in all of this but make sure you do not become too serious as the year passes by. Relatives and in-laws, especially the females, may call for your help and understanding. Health matters should be immediately attended to as a part of the practical management of the year. This is a good time for your annual check-up. Don't miss it this year! Lots of hard work is necessary to give you deep personal satisfaction. A Four year is a good time to buy, sell, build and exchange. Be sure to read the fine print in any transaction.
Your New Year's Resolution is to become practical. You may not want to become orderly and economical but would prefer to live life carelessly without restrictions. However, there is a right time for everything in life and this is the year that you will find that the circumstances in your own life, or those of business, or your associations with others, will cause you to estimate and appraise your ability to formulate a plan of action for security, happier relationships and business advantage.
Do you know where your insurance papers, mortgage papers, deeds, will or income tax returns are? Do you have outstanding bills? Make a budget, get things paid up and be sure not to neglect these things this year. How much money is saved, what are your jewels worth, and what is the estimate of your personal assets? For your own satisfaction, get down to the foundation upon which you have built your life, and then stand up and move forward. Don't be surprised if some things you have not thought of come to the surface, to show you which direction to go in as the year progresses. An awakening to your life circumstances, having a reality check and becoming aware will strengthen you and give you a lot of satisfaction.
FOCUS: Firmness is necessary for success. Use discrimination and respect jurisprudence. Do not express your opinion on unfamiliar subjects. CRYSTAL: Lapis, Sapphire
This year has many things for you to learn and experience. This is travel year and a year to deal with children in some particular way. It may be a year with romance and money, but nothing lasting. One never, ever marries in a Five or a Nine year, because this signifies a temporary relationship at best. This is a time for new interests and new projects. This year has a strong bearing on your future and it is a year of progress and growth that demands you to "be aware" and "pay attention" to the outer world and what is going on around you. New technology may catch your interest in a Five Year. Take a class, improve your computer skills or add to your home entertainment center.
As this year opens for you, tere will be a subconscious feeling that new opportunities are opening up for you. You will intuitively know that new conditions are in the air waiting to be taken advantage of. They may appear as changes, or many ups and downs and unexpected experiences. You are again being presented with opportunities to move forward in life rather than to "stay put" in the old routines of last year. Now you can put your best foot forward for all around improvement in your life-style. The trend of a Number Five personal year is in the nature of new experiences. A change of environment, new experiences, new relationships, new ideas, new contacts, new plans, more freedom, more variety and enterprise will color all of you affairs. These experiences may not be drastic or difficult, but just a freshening of interest, perhaps taking you into the public, with travel and group activity. Even so, the old will overlap the new as a part of this progress. Your work will be to relate the two and join them together into something new for success. You will begin to create a broader field of interest and activity.
You may find that you are restless, wishing for more social activity or a new outlet for your pent up energy. You may feel tired of the old routine. These feelings may cause you to be impatient, restless, with a desire to get rid of the old condition or circumstance. This should be avoided, for even if this year is one of impulse and new energy, it is not suggested that change should be sudden or hasty or that you "burn your bridges behind you" only to have regrets later. There is nothing to be gained by running away. Take the old that you built up last year and blend it into new undertakings for progress and a wider scope of activity. Changes may take place, even though you are not inviting them, so look for an opportunity which is present when these changes come to you. You may begin something which will carry on through the year, even into the future, and be rewarded for your past efforts.
"Don't fence me in" is a strong feeling of the Five Year. The desire to "live," to have the right and good come to you and to have something going on most of the time is the influence behind its force.
Without the "do and dare" spirit of the Five Year, life would be very dull and lacking in all progress. This is the drive behind advancement and the incentive which gives an outlet for man's genius and which drives him into the new and unknown, even to partake of the unusual and impossible. Without this inner drive, mankind would stagnate.
The First is to accept this inner drive; to realize it is a "timing" in your life to bring improvements to what you are doing in the way of variety, new ways and means, and to do it without disrupting what you have already established, rather than to tear down or quit what you have already done. This is a time to put more enthusiasm into your undertakings, along with a new mental attitude. All of this will lead you to new contacts, progressive activities, and a new understanding of yourself. In this way, old conditions and problems will clear up of their own accord and beneficial changes will occur.
The Second way is to be impatient, restless, critical and unreasonable about past duties and responsibilities, with such a strong urge for more life and personal freedom that all descretion is thrown to the wind, leading to quarrels, disagreements, broken promises and accomplishing little. Instead, get a lot of fun out of this year! Show versatility in your interests, business, social and even spiritual concepts, which may come up for your consideration from time to time.
You will still find many things to take care of which you may feel tired of, in a general way, but do not be impulsive or hasty or head-strong when little annoyances seem to deter you; haste and irritation can sidetrack you. Confusion could lead to legal problems which may become difficult to deal with because of the reactions of others. Good judgment is necessary now. Older people, children or those younger than yourself should be a source of inspiration as well as care.
The Number Five Year, if lived right, can be a marvelous year! The changes, even if unexpected, can be thrilling and exciting. At year's end, you will be satisfied with what you have accomplished and quite pleased about the changes that occurred.
FOCUS: Quieting your life and caring for others. The SIx Personal Year an make the muddy waters clear. Giving honors and rewards to others. All movement is directed by karma and and the natural laws of Divine Order. Crystal: Turquoise
With the coming of the Number Six Year, you are now on the upward climb of your present nine-year cycle. The result of your efforts, work, application and planning should begin to present themselves. A great deal of attention should be given to the ways and means by which these results may be obtained. This will depend upon how you approach your work and how you cooperate with others. Service is the keynote to results in every way and in everything you do. This is your duty year, meaning family responsibilities and karmic debts to be paid. You should always keep this in mind through your pleasure and problems. Try to make all responsibility interesting to yourself, and the demands upon you a privilege instead of a requirement. In this way, warmth and good fellowship will make everything worth while, with many pleasing returns for your efforts.
Your future depends upon your ideals, standards and good will towards others. You will gain much by placing these assets into the fore-front. Everyone, at some time, faces these requirements out in the world, as well as in the home, or among family and friends. During this special year of karmic payback, to think only of your own well being and personal desires could bring disappointment and regret later in your expectations and hopes for success and happiness.
Working together for the good of all concerned is the foundation of all human endeavor. The physician, lawyer, minister, teacher, soldier, housewife, shopkeeper, father and mother make life a thing of beauty, to some degree at least, so as your Six year passes by, be sure not to miss any opportunity to give of yourself, in some way, to make others happy. It will all add up to your advantage as "spiritual blessings" and "financial success", with feelings of love, peace and harmony to make it worth while. Next year will be very different, but service is the key to your Number Six year.
This year will be a test of your character in a special way. You may love your home and family and its cares and responsibilities, or you may not. However, this year you cannot brings the rewards to yourself unless you meet the duty that will come up of its own accord, in business, relationships and relaxation.
There is a care running through the year which may bring expense and bills to pay. Even so, the opportunity for better financial returns are present to take care of your needs. This should be a pleasant year, with good nature and cheer in the midst of things which must be attended to. It is the nature of the year to bring love, good will, admiration, appreciation and pleasing relationships to all, if the energies are allowed to do so. It is, as always, the emotions - your own or those of family and children, loved ones, work or in social occasions, that may cause misunderstandings and difficulties. Feelings will be strong as to what is right or wrong, leading to arguments, quarrels, fighting and separations. All year a sense of justice, fair play and honesty are very important. Lack of truth and justice could bring legal problems, separations, discord, even involving your children.
Matters of the home and property may come up for better management, bringing more love and warmth of feelings and good will. In this year, your Number Six year, problems will be solved as you are the teacher, physician, psychologist, mother, father and lover all in one.
The health of others may call for your time and attention. Take care of your own health also. Do not work too hard, and find time for rest and relaxation. Others do not want you to work hard, just to be of help. It may be September before you are free of some of your present duties. Do not say too much in October. So much will be clear to you as you prepare to enter into your Number Seven year.
The Six Year can be wonderful year and often means weddings, romance, reunions, communion with children, gatherings, celebrations with old remembrances and traditional standards.
FOCUS: The Year of Spiritual growth. Causes others to forget their poverty. Seeks the solitude of inner awareness and meditation. High office as the result of experience. Marriage. Nourishes and educates the people. Spiritual revelations. CRYSTAL: Clear Quartz, Diamond
Down through the ages the number Seven has been associated with the occult, spiritual and mystical. However, it is also called "Lucky Seven" in relationship to material interests and activities, symbolizing the "unexpected." As you add this year into your life and future success, you are likely to touch on or include all these interests, in various ways, for the development of your character, better understanding of yourself, your emotions and spiritual nature. You may ponder about these issues. You may even not wish to include or consider so-called religious interests as a necessary part of your work, success or business affairs, but remember, each personal year of every nine-year cycle is a step towards a better understanding of yourself, and you ultimate goal in life. Knowing the right action and the right timing is a very important asset.
The Bible tells us that when the world was created, the Lord worked with energy and concentration for six days. Then he went away and rested. You are likely to feel an inner desire to be done with a lot of work you carried on last year and the endless responsibility. An inner drive which will be prodding you now, will urge you to change your way of thinking and feeling and to live on a higher plane of thought and action. Regardless of your type of work, you may suddenly feel tired of the endless duties of last year, wish to have more time for yourself and be free from so many responsibilities, even free from people and some friends. This is a year to take time out to rest, read, study, travel and to place some of the duties into the hands of others. It is time for you not to be bound with duties. The qualities of your soul are calling for creative expression and a spiritual outlet. If you respond to this urge to know about your inner self and to think about kindness, beauty, perfection and what life is all about, over and above "making it in the world," you will find this year a wonderful one with added rewards, not expected, to give you a realization of your rightful place in this world. Even in the midst of many things to do in your personal affairs, the key-note of the year is to gain understanding of spiritual laws for yourself to develop a happier attitude of mind.
You may find that you are more alone than usual. This is not a mistake, but an opportunity to listen to your inner voice, telling you the truth about yourself, your character and ability. Gather strength and inner fortitude through rest and quiet times, even while you work. January through December of this year will be different that any other year in your present nine-year cycle. If you live it well and try to understand your experiences, you will be a changed person. You will find your spiritual right to all that is good and worth while and the reason for being born. The way you meet the experiences that are different will determine the trend of events as the year passes by. You are in the school of life this year, and you should enjoy learning more about it and its deeper meaning. It is just as well to say little about all this to others. This is a time for your communion with God. Let the unfoldment come naturally and show in the way you begin to live your daily experiences.
You will find this to be a busy year, even though it is called a Sabbatical year. By February, many of your duties will be taken care of by others, or be completed due to you plans and desire to have more time for yourself. From then on, the subtle force of the Number Seven year will be directing your attention toward new ways of thinking and acting through the experience you meet day by day. It may seem to you that you never have a moment to yourself, but at the same time, you will realize that you are strangely more alone and that others seem to go their own way, socially and otherwise. Also, you may unconsciously withdraw from their interests, even causing misunderstandings, in your mind as well as that of others. You may not be aware of this at first, but as the months pass by, you will enjoy the changes in your thoughts and feelings and know you are a better person. You will come to the understanding that life is not just "bread and butter," but a spiritual experience, natural, revealing and directing, as you go about your daily affairs.
One of the experiences you will need to prepare for is that friends and loved ones may condemn you for your sudden interests in different ways of thinking and living. They may feel that you are not like yourself, or they may argue with you about principles of thought and your new ways of thinking and feeling. It is just as well not to say to much to try to convince them of anything. This may be about past interest, activities and ideals. Separations and a break up of friendships could result.
Change in habits and interest often occur in a Seven year, but they stand for growth and progress. Work out all controversy in a quiet manner. The less said the better. By being poised and viewing life from a new angle, you will find the solution to all of your problems. In this way, the "luck" of the year can come to you. Be glad you are you, for this year will place you in a position of strength, due to your inner poise and real effort to understand life better. You become the "thinker" in a Seven year. When emotions and hurt feelings rule, problems will become aggravated and hard to solve.
Love affairs may enter in, possibly having to do with the past, and be very rewarding. Take care of your health all year long. Get enough rest and avoid haste. Enjoy being alone from time to time. Think, read, write, study, travel for educational interests. Join clubs and groups, both philosophical and educational. Meet new people and contribute something worthwhile to the progress of mankind.
FOCUS: Represents success and manifestation of desires. The union of many and how it can be attained. Realization of life's connecting link. Chooses virtuous associations. Believes in that which is secure and in order for the life path. CRYSTAL: Malachite
The theme for your Eight Year is "Achievement". It is up to you to put forth the effort to gain the results you dream of or are capable of attaining. It is your underlying motive in all you do, all year long. This is the next to last year of your cycle for experience and growth, and the timing will be right for you to put forward your talents for recognition and reward.
This is the year of harvest. Your product is ready to be brought to the market. You need to be ready to move forward in a buisnesslike manner with efficiency, resourcefulness and sustained effort to gain the rewards, and to receive the benefits that this year holds for you. Whatever your employment, doctor, lawyer, merchant, artist, entertainer, writer, salesman, computer expert, inventor, minister, or if you are daily employed by a corporation, make a special effort to improve and bring to a successful conclusion, some of the ideas and dreams of the past years tests and trials, successes and even failures as the year evolves.
Many opportunities will present themselves this year. You will need to follow up on them. Your state of mind, your mental capacities and self-confidence will be a part of your success and financial achievement. Nothing will be gained by just "hoping" because an Eight Year is a year of action. Whatever your ability, place it on the market with a sense of authority and self-confidence. Then be ready to back up your effort by hard work and skill in dealing with business ways and the means with which success is attained. It is, after all, not the money you will make that really matters, it is your strength of character, stamina and sustained ambition all year long.
The focus of the year is like Thanksgiving and the "Horn of Plenty", which is small at first but opens and expands into abundance. It all depends on your steady effort, good judgment concerning your future and your everyday business sense.
Join with those who are working for improvement in your line of endeavor or talents. Do not work entirely alone. Get advice from those in authority or people who can help you. Brains and planning will count this year! Not much will be gained with emotional outbreaks, or by scattering your forces or in lack of personal discipline when you are working towards results. Think! Most of your efforts will be worthwhile, for others as well as yourself.
With all of these requirements, this will not be an easy year. Financial matters will call for attention and are likely to force you to organize or reorganize your personal affairs as well as your business undertakings. It is important that you do not overestimate your ability, early in the year. Meditate and take the time to know what you want to do. Face all issues with a keen mind and renewed ambition. Stress or worry over money may delay your success and make things harder than they should be.
There will be many interesting happenings as part of the year's experiences, even the possibility of trips, long or short, combining business, pleasure and social activity. Love affairs may prove stimulating, and the meeting of interesting people may add to the interest and progress of the year. Be sure to choose your associates wisely. This is a year to advance your standing and position in the world. It would be a waste of time to be indiscreet or careless where morals are concerned, in your business or romantic interests. Recognize your own, preferred, way of life and standard of living as this year brings to you its challenges.
Health matters and upsets run through the year. Take good care of your digestive system and do not allow strain or over-intensity of feelings get you down. Take time out to rest and relax now and then, especially when it seems hard to make ends meet. Family matters will also call for attention. Do not be too dominant, but help others to find the way to work out their own problems as you work out your own.
As the Eight year ends, you should be well established in your work and your environment. Gradually you will realize that you have accomplished all that can be done for now, and experience the feeling that you are finished with your work, or old condition, although perhaps you are still deeply attached to the old relationship. Do not pass judgment. Keep a warm heart even in the midst of business activity and the many demands on your time and judgment. Find a cause or a purpose to work for, like the betterment of mankind, politics, worldly or spiritual. An interest or plan, having meaning for all of mankind, will call for your thoughts and endeavor. The Eight Year may bring about a temporary separation from a loved one or place, but try to look ahead to the new energies coming into being in your Number Nine year.
FOCUS: The year of completions. Sincere in promises. Pardons easily. Heals the souls of others. Kindness and unconditional love. Integrity. Faithful minister. Benevolence. Weighs matters well. Rich in love and resources. CRYSTAL: Onyx, Obsedion
The Number Nine year represents completions, endings, losses, spiritual fulfillment, manifestation of desires and unconditional love. Many of your affairs will come to a head to be resolved from January of this year to January of your Number One year, which begins a new cycle. You are now closing an era of experience that you began nine years ago. This completion is not a failure or sorrow. It is a reward, for as you pass through it you will open the door to new opportunities and new interests in life. During this year you must be ready and willing to let go of the old and undesirable in your life. Now is the time, in the Nine Year, to make way for the new and worthwhile. It is important to make a definite effort to be done with things that have no further value. If something you are trying to hold on to asks for freedom or desires to get away, be understanding and release it, for if you try to hold on, it may get away anyway with some anger and bitterness. Life could see fit to make this change for you. Be tolerant, compassionate and forgiving, and then you will find the Nine year to be one of the most wonderful years of your life. A reward of love, sympathy, understanding and fulfillment of your plans may bring to you financial rewards as well as true love, respect and appreciation.
During the early winter and spring months, affairs should improve and bring you an opportunity to do what you feel necessary. During the summer you may feel alone, held back, and unable to keep things moving forward in a steady manner. Do no try to do so! Give life a chance to help you, and keep your mind open to expansion, broader interests and larger activities which can be born now, even though not carried out fully until the new cycle opens up next year. During your Nine year you may find your interests growing away from some of your former associations and activities. You will unconsciously begin to turn your thoughts and attention to interests which have not yet been a part of your life. Try to keep these interests universal in nature and avoid small, personal and selfish desires, for these could lead to disappointments at the end of the year.
Love affairs will hold your interest, others if not your own. You may feel yourself being drawn into this without your intention. If so, then be aware that there is something to do to help others in their situation. There may be something for you to do to help othersthem straighten out their affairs. The Nine year is a year of impersonal thought and feelings using the power of unconditional love. What you do for others will be rewarded.
This is not a time to start anything new. "The tide is out," as they say. Keep busy and accept opportunities as they come to you, but until September you may not see the way clearly. You will need to be making many changes and adjustments because of the energy forces of the Nine year. Do not overwork. Take a vacation in July. Your health must be kept up to par, as you have much to accomplish next year. The fall of the Number Nine year will find you marking time, going slowly, but with mutual assistance if you are cooperative and generous in your deeds, thoughts and feelings. If something goes out of your life, let it go! This is to be considered a clearing for your future happiness and well being.
This closing year of your Nine year cycle is a very interesting one. It is like the graduating year of college and brings to you the rewards of your endeavors in its own way. Under the Nine influence, universal thought and feeling should be uppermost in your mind, even though you are busy with personal interests. The "brotherhood of man" is the keynote with good will toward others. Number Nine is the number of Love and the Christ Energies. This great love is impersonal and belongs to all of us. It cannot be trapped, chained or kept for yourself alone. It must flow like a river into the ocean of life for it always belongs to the whole world. As this year passes, respond to the silent urge to do good works in order that humanity or the world in general will be happier. Do this without thought of personal gain or reward.
You too, in this Nine year, belong to those who promote civilization and work for the betterment of mankind. If you cannot consciously take part in such an endeavor, let your hear be filled with compassion, tolerance and forgiveness, even for your so-called enemies. The experiences of this year will tend to broaden and widen your scope of activity. Whatever your talent, profession, or work, be a little bigger and kinder in your thoughts and aspirations.
During this year there will be finals, endings and something to give up. It is a clearing house period to give you a new outlook and a glimpse for the future. There will be less duty, a time for relaxation and a sense of inner satisfaction and peace. While the Number Nine year clears up many old problems, it also tests your character. You may be called upon to give up a relationship, or to leave something behind, even a certain way of living, whether you wish to or not. This is not a sacrifice, it is necessary so that you may go ahead with plans for your own future life expression. In the end, this will be a great relief. Have the courage to let go. Estimate the worth of what you are giving up because it may have no further value to you. Some old situation will take care of itself if you allow it freedom now. You should feel a sense of inner power and strength when the change is finally made because you will see the need for the adjustment for both yourself and others.
There will be a slight disappointment with regard to some of the details and always uncertainty as to just how things will turn out, but this is of minor importance. The old could not continue because it does not have a place in what the future has in store for you. Love affairs run throughout the year, Some of the problems during the year may be a result of deep emotional ties and feelings regarding your relationship with a loved one. If not your own, than of others. Marriage can be a reward when the attraction has been of long duration, but in the same way, happiness may come as the result of a companionship outlived. It is said that it is never wise to marry in a Five year or a Nine year because they usually do not last, for one reason or another. Your lesson may be to let go rather than to hold on when an attraction is over. Sometimes the Nine year can bring the crossing over of an elderly parent or grandparent.
During this year you may often feel tired, not always up to your work. Find the time to rest and work out your emotions in a friendly way. Do not worry or try to do more than you should. Trust in the universe and in the right outworking of your affairs. You have had many tasks, responsibilities and problems, but they are not entirely your responsibility. Let life and others shoulder some of them.
You may feel a sense of frustration and futility at times, with a sort of "what's the use" feeling. Refuse to be morose and indulge these moods, especially during the summer. Take a vacation or a spiritual retreat in July if you can, with an interesting companion. If you find yourself alone, realize that this is a time to give thought to your inner spiritual development. Take up study, travel, and enjoy cultural and creative activities. Money should be there all year, especially when you lend a hand to others.
During the last three months of your Nine year, you will be marking time, as there is not much you can do for awhile. Take care of your health and relax, and have the patience to wait. Enjoy your everyday affairs, or join with others in the spirit of companionship.
