The 1 personal year is the first of the entire nine year personal year cycle. Therefore, it is easy to see the importance of getting off to a good start. This is the time to get in motion the things you want to get accomplished. Clear planning and thorough goal visualization add to the likelihood of success. If you delay changes in the one year, or ignore the chance to expand, there is a tendency to take the steam out of the entire nine year cycle. It is very difficult to break an apathetic or listless habit that is established during the one year. It is a time to convert ideas, aspirations, and dreams to physical action. The 1 year often opens new opportunities in the job or business. It is a time to add to your business or expand into wholly new facets of your profession. If you see no future in your present employment, it is a time to investigate the market for other possibilities. There may be a move to a new residence. This is time for a fresh start. Take advantage of favorable opportunities that are presented at this time.

The 1 year intensifies the masculine energy patterns. Emphasis is upon individuality, aggressiveness, courage, and self-reliance. In a man's chart, the one year activates subconscious memories and conflicts related to early childhood, particularly those relating to the formation of his masculinity. Conflicts with his father, brothers, male schoolteachers, ministers, or his own masculinity that have their origin in very early years (or prenatal time) are triggered. Once set loose, they flow into the stream of daily consciousness.

For instance, a boy may have had a father who did not want children and was unable to provide his son with confidence and support at key points in the building of his male identity, i.e. the first year in school, at puberty, when competing in a sport and playing in a key game, at his first job, and so forth.

Later in his adult life, that boy (having become a businessman) is faced with an excellent opportunity to start a new business venture. Consciously he may be professionally and intellectually equipped to succeed. However, subconsciously he may want to get back at his father's lack of concern by not wanting to give his father the satisfaction of seeing his son become a success. Therefore, the son subconsciously finds reasons to delay the venture and creates critical mistakes that prevent a sure-fire business from developing. An awakened consciousness is needed to counter such an aversion to growth.

The 1 year attracts activities and situations which put pressure upon an individual to face the masculine conflicts within self. When these exist, the attitude can become hostile, overly assertive, and defensive. This can be true for a woman passing through the one year. For instance, let us say her father (perhaps both parents) did not want a girl at the time of her birth. She feels angry and rejected on an unconsciousness level. She compentsates by trying to be the little boy (later man) daddy wanted. This creates a false yang, or false animus energy.

Rather than being assertive, she is aggressive. Rather than being strong, she is intimidating. Rather than moving with confidence at the right time, she forces the issue and tries to prove herself in almost exactly the same way as a man who is insecure within himself. This is an excellent time to get in touch with your own true male energy and release the rebellion that has been going on for much of your life. The one energy out of control often results in rebellious manifestation, rather than confidence.

On the other hand, the passive traits of the 1 may come out as indifference, lethargy, and stubborn resistance to opportunities. This is the passive side of willfulness. Getting back at the parents by not doing anything to remind them of how badly they did their job. The unconscious message is that, "you failed to prepare me properly for life so now I am going to prove it by failing".

The 2 personal year is a time to nurture that which was started in the first year. This is a cycle of elaboration and development of ideas and any new endeavors that are initiated. If you resorted to negative resistance last year and did not take assertive steps with prospective opportunities, be ready for emotional trials that can take you deeper into the emotional roots of unconscious blocks and complexes. This is a time to pay attention to details and fine print. Your appearance and presentation will be particularly highlighted during this cycle. The downside is this year can be one of gossip and behind the back criticism. Remember that what you send out comes back.

This year stresses cooperation within self and with others. It is time to expand friendship and contacts in your life. This is time to be with compatible and supportive people who are on the track toward success. The spirit of sharing prevails. Diplomacy and timely pauses are characteristic of this time rather than the assertive push of last year. This time is one that encourages expansion and refinement of the things at hand. Socializing increases, and this can be an excellent time to meet important contacts in your networking activities.

The 2 year relates to the feminine energy and stresses relationships with our mother, aunt, grandmother, female teachers and supervisors in our life. As you pass through this year old issues with this polarity of self will be stimulated. Where there are unresolved issues, the emotions and conflicts of the past will arise in more intensity. You will find yourself attracting relationships which act out old negative patterns related to conflicts with your mother in childhood. Very often in this year, for example, a man will enter a relationship with a woman very similar to his mother. This often results in acting out old negative patterns in a new relationship. If both parties are aware of the issues, it can be a major time of healing and recognition. Perhaps when a girl was born the father (or both parents) wanted a boy. That child may have repressed many of her best feminine assets by attempting to be more masculine and be the boy that dad wanted (thus winning his love).

The 2 year activates the intuition and trust of inner awareness. This is a time to trust those deeper promptings and develop intuitive skills. Sometimes men can be uncomfortable developing the creative intuitive side of self because in a man's world it is not macho. He fears the development of the feminine side will overwhelm his masculinity. This is often related to memories of a domineering mother.

For a woman this time stirs up many old social and family attitudes about women and their role in the house, in society and certain positions of business, politics etc. She may start to remember painful instances regarding puberty, or the discomfort of maturing into her feelings as a woman. This can be a time of active social reformation and speaking out about the injustices to women in modern society.

The number 2 is very much related to our public persona or social "image". It is a time for recognizing the image you created to survive in your dysfunctional environment. Once this is done you can cultivate a new image based upon your true identity and aligned with the inner self.

The 3 year is one of creativity, new ideas and self-expression. The masculine one and the feminine two merge into the marriage of creative manifestation. This year awakens artistic and aesthetic proclivities. It is a time of flirtation, romance and being with good friends. Your natural charm is at a peak and you radiate enthusiasm and joy. This time includes activities related to communications, media, entertainment, writing, public speaking and all forms of self expression. Home decoration, beauty work, possible travel, luxury items and gardening are a few of the activities you may pursue.

As you pass through this year you may well find yourself stimulated to develop artistic or aesthetic abilities. It is a time of inspiration and expression. Dancing, painting, writing, are some basic artistic skills that might come alive. For those in business, it might be the creation of a new marketing strategy or product. For those in science or a more technical arena this could be a time of developing a new theory or hypothesis about your field of endeavor.

This year emphasizes the trusting feelings and learning to be more honest with self and others in our relating of feelings. As this year unfolds you will most likely run a whole gauntlet of feelings and emotions from highs to lows. It is a cycle that encourages the process of differentiating between emotions and feelings. You may experience a mystical like connection of joy and love that comes from Source.

The 3 year may also find you plummeting into the depths of self loathing, deprecation and despair. Be willing now to face the dark thoughts that threaten you and get to the source of their origin and force. You may want to seek a trained or professional helper if things get to be overwhelming. A trusted and honored support group is truly valuable to have at this time.

Three is related to creativity and sexuality. Very frequently memories of past abuse surface in the three year. There can be difficult promoting a creative product or idea because of conflict regarding sex and creativity. The unconscious does not differentiate between these. When there is sexual guilt or shame it can manifest in hesitation to promote creative aspects of self because there is fear someone will discover the truth of your lurid sexual (creative) past.

This is a favorable year for the formation of long term relationships and/or marriage. The most important marriage you will ever experience is that of the inner man and inner woman within yourself. This is a most auspicious cycle to heal the wounds from the past that are associated with your dysfunctional parents. By doing just that you open the door to the possibility of integration of your anima and animus--the inner man and woman.

This is the year to roll up the sleeves and concentrate on the work at hand. Business matters, career, and life work are important now. This is the time to build a solid foundation preparing for the next move in your life plan. Put your best foot forward, and try to avoid complaining at work, as you may be under scrutiny by someone in a position to help your future. If you determine objectively that you are at a dead end, it is an excellent year to consider, a new vocational direction.

If you are unwilling to make a timely move to further yourself, fate and circumstance may force you into a change. Perhaps your company will downgrade and your position will become redundant. Circumstances may force you into considering something different, and in the end probably more to your satisfaction. Be aware that you have not gotten yourself stuck in a workaholic pattern where you are avoiding more intimate life matters by staying busy on the job.

Perhaps when you were young your father (or mother) was a workaholic and constantly absent. As a child you missed that parent very much and on an unconscious level blamed the loneliness and growing angry feelings of abandonment upon the father’s work. Now, as an adult, these repressed feelings start to surface as you work harder and harder. Suddenly you manifest behavior that is embarrassing or sabotages your future. The angry inner child is trying to get back at the neglectful parents.

Sometimes the father may be unwilling to change jobs and do something he would really like to do in order to keep a secure job that feeds the family (and specifically the unborn new child). The child in the womb senses this and begins to feel guilty for preventing the father from doing something he really wanted to do. Later in life that child will sabotage opportunities to do something they would really like as a form of self- punishment by the guilty inner child.

On a spiritual level the 4 year (especially after the 28th year) can stimulate the desire to do the Father’s work or work of the soul. Where there is residue of resentment and anger toward the earth father there is anger toward the Divine father. This is an important time for contemplation and searching to get in touch with your inner work. The soul may be excited and unsettled because it senses the approach of an important opportunity, The subconscious, however, distracts and diverts the individual from a core spiritually aligned course. With more mothers working the same pattern develops only the resentment is more focused upon lack of nurturing from the feminine side.

This is a time of loyalty and support to and from good friends. Be careful not to get in any kind of rut; emotional, mental or physical. Be willing to listen to new ways of improving your efficiency. As this year passes, you have the opportunity to elevate and expand your productivity and contribution to mankind.

This is a year of growth, change, freedom, travel and fun. Open yourself to new philosophies and ways of looking at life, mix and mingle among the many diverse cultures and subcultures of our world. This year accentuates travel near and particularly to far away places. Five is the number of the senses and of man. This time encourages exploration of your sensuality and sexuality as you may discover previously overlooked opportunity for pleasure and restoration. This would be an excellent time to further explore alternative healing methods that can improve health and tone up your body.

The desire to change the situation at work that became noticeable during the past year turns into an excellent time for change of employment. Perhaps the change is to a new department or promotion. You will find yourself more able to use diverse abilities that had become stagnant. You find yourself in a more congenial atmosphere.

Impulsiveness, impatience, and restlessness abound as you go on through the months. Time to tap that nervous energy and put it to constructive use. Time to get out of restrictive relationships and environments that no longer offer progression. The other side of that predicament is not to run prematurely from unfinished business or you will find yourself stepping right back into the type of situation.

The desire for experience can lead to dangerous participation in alcoholic, drug, or toxic sexual indulgences. It is easy during this cycle to seek escapism through these potentially addictive behavior behaviors. The 5 year accelerates lessons regarding moral, ethical, religious and social issues.

As people pass through this year it is often like reliving their teen age rebellion all over again. You may find yourself struggling to disengage from rigid beliefs forced upon you in childhood. For instance, a child raised in a strict religious environment where everything was sinful may find him/her self-interested in that activity. Set’s say dancing was a major sin in your youth. Now you find yourself starting to enjoy dancing, but at the same time having deep feelings of guilt and shame for doing something immoral (in the subconscious). This is a time to learn from experience what is your own truth.

Five is the number of man and it is the number of the divine laws of life. You can ignore the laws. You can defy the laws. Or you can live in Dharma and harmony with the laws. This is the time to know the difference and establish your imprint onto life with relish and gusto.

The focus this year is upon home, marriage, responsibility, service, sacrifice, and resolution of personal antagonisms. For the single person this can be one of the most fortuitous years for entering into a long term relationship. Your need to serve may find you volunteering for a church or charity program. You are more concerned with health issues. Perhaps you decide to initiate study of art or some other creative interest. You may find yourself called upon to render help to others with little notice.

The 6 year seems to offer little time to satisfy personal desires. Friends and neighbors come over or call for advice; the job seems bogged down; the children have more sickness and arguments that need attention. Bills get out of hand, relatives seem particularly troublesome, unexpected repairs arise, and the spouse is less than cooperative.

If a marriage is struggling, it will often come to an end during the six year. Most couples act out their parent’s unconscious patterns. Aware couples are learning to separate from old unconscious family patterns. Six is the archetypal number for codependency and as you pass through this year the tests of codependents will reoccur frequently if you have not begun to face and work through those issues. this might be a good time to seek marriage counseling or professional help. This cycle encourages the establishment and maintenance of a healthy relationship.

This phase in consciousness acts as a test of altruism. You accomplish most by putting others first at this time and resolving the immediate crisis. It is an easy time for false martyrdom. "Oh, look at all I've done for others with no appreciation", is the oft-spoken plea during the six year. Forget the drama and face the demands. It is time to serve unselfishly. Be careful, however, lest others take advantage of your desire to be of assistance.

That is the flip side of the lesson. Being altruistic also means honoring yourself. The 6 year takes us through the lessons regarding boundaries. It is easy to get so involved in someone else’s problems so that we can lose yourself and our identity in the process of serving another person. Unselfish includes a little of benign selfishness. That is, the need to be as good about caring for ourselves as we are about caring for others. Then, when the call for help comes, we are clear of our own mess and able to serve totally and willingly when it is appropriate.

The 7 year is a time of meditation, introspection, study, and self-examination. The year encourages philosophical searching and intellectual delving into the nature of universe, man and self. Your search for self discovery may lead you to deeper investigation of psychology, scientific research, religious, or metaphysical studies. Whatever the path you choose, it leads to the understanding of life’s great mysteries. It is a time of calm after the activity and upheaval of the past two years.

This can be a lonely year in many respects. As long as it is lonely, you might as well learn to be comfortable with yourself. You seek quiet, tending to shun noise and raucous social gatherings. To others you may appear to be detached, aloof or indifferent. Therefore, you might want to make a little extra effort not to ignore others sentiments.

You find time now to elevate your consciousness. Those who have been working many years to expand awareness may be blessed this year with illumination from within. You may find clues to put your destiny into perspective, and provide cosmic clues as to the purpose of existence. You may experience revelation and unfoldment of your inner gifts of spirit. At a minimum you may get to hear a whisper of the small still voice within.

For those who seem unable to slow down and take a look at life, the fickle finger of fate may throw you for a loop. On occasion the evasive person may find themself involved in an accident or illness which puts them in bed and forces them to be quiet. By knowing the cycles you can work in harmony and make mishaps a less likely probability.

Many adults use intellectuality as a means of avoiding feelings and inner emotional turmoil. They are not "there" in the day to day home activities even though they are present. If you were a child in such a home, you may find yourself becoming depressed and angry as the seven year progresses. The loneliness and pain of being intellectually abandoned comes to the surface. The good news is that now you can do something about it.

Each time we expand upward in awareness, we also delve deeper into the recesses of our subconscious motivation. Some of the residue and debris stirred up the last few years may surface at this time. You may find yourself moribund, cynical and skeptical of anything promising a better life. Do not let repression or confusion disturb your ability to find inner peace. A tempestuous sea may rage around you; however, your keel is set, and the inner rudder should be firm enough to conquer the threatening currents of mass skepticism, doubt, and discouragement.

This year places emphasis upon themes of advancement, social status, finances, executive ability, power, authority, and business interests. If you spent time in the seven year working on self integration, you should find yourself ready to reenter the social environment with greater confidence and inner strength. It is time to live fully the newly found Truth and wisdom that was acquired during the past year.

This year the world will recognize your potential and skills. It brings promotions, advancement, and recognition for your achievements.. Go slowly and cautiously with this newly acquired power and authority. Very often an eight feels he has deserved attention or promotion for a long time. The inner hostility and resentment from injured pride has been simmering. Finally, when the recognition comes, the pride and ego needs dictate some vengeful, or rash behavior. Avoid the evils of false pride in this year, and enhance your natural ability to inspire and lead.

On the dark side of the same vein, the year can also bring frustration with authority.

Perhaps your parents held strong moral, political, ethical, or social bias, which were unjustly or abusively administrated. The unconsciousness still retains resentment and anger toward the misused authority. You may find yourself constantly thwarted by coworkers, spouse, friends, or relatives. These people help bring to your attention the underlying issues which can be released. They will challenge your word on everything from how to fry an egg, to celestial cosmology. Watch your reaction to confrontation. Herein is the clue to your growth opportunity.

If you attempt to win every argument, refuse to listen, nod politely, and later criticize or quote endless sources as support to your thesis, something is awry. It is time to flex a little and be willing to learn from others. It is time to let go of institutional domination, social pressure, family dictates, and subconscious tyranny. See them for what they are, and relax.

This is the year to recognize and live by the dictates of higher authority. Power should be balanced with compassion and consideration of others. This does not justify breaking the laws of society. It may require an active participation in restoring Divine Law to man's affairs.

You may become critical of church, political, or civil authority. Supervisors or leaders in your department or business will receive the wrath of your opinions. This year is a reminder that the misuse of power and authority you see in others that troubles you so much, is simply seeing yourself. It is very likely that in a previous life or lives you have committed those very transgressions..

Dealing with money is particularly important this year. A proper perspective should be encouraged that recognizes the rightful energy exchange involved with monetary transactions. You can increase your earnings and cash flow this year. So concentrate on your sense of dollar worth. Many students of the Light have an aversion to earning money, especially when associated with spiritual work. There can be old vows in the unconscious when spiritual people had to take the vow of poverty. Now you are afraid if you have money you will not grow spiritually.

This is a good time to study the laws of prosperity and work through poverty consciousness. As long as we live in a monetary society it will take money to sponsor the institutions and businesses of light. Money earned through greed and unethical practices may slip through your fingers. Money acquired through the application of divine principles can yield rich rewards to be used for the building of a better world. This is a most favorable time to reap the rewards of abundance.

This year brings a nine year cycle to its finale and closes one way of living while offering prospect of a renewed and revised style of living ahead. Nine is all-inclusive, containing all of the previous vibrations. Therefore this year will bring a variety of life events. This is a finishing cycle. With few exceptions, it is not the time to enter new business, marriage, new jobs, or partnerships. These changes are more likely to prove successful after September of a 9 year if you feel that you want to initiate the new commitment.

Often overlooked in numerical interpretation is the importance of the reality that nine is also the number of our deepest wishes and dreams come true. If we have been doing our cleansing and following the cycles of personal growth in a healthy manner, the 9 year can bring culmination of great fulfillment and contentment. If you have truly balanced the karmic ledger and gotten your "stuff" together, this can be a year to enter a dreamed of relationship or marvelous business venture. The key to knowing is through the settled heart and inspired brain.

This is an excellent time to sort through the psychological framework and get rid of remnants of your growth and breakthroughs of earlier years in this cycle. By this I mean recognize immature emotions, negative thinking, and other restrictive behavior patterns. This can be one of the easiest times for release of the negative if you cooperate with the cycle. In therapeutic terms we say this is a good time to get rid of old "stuff".

Those who tenaciously cling to the past may have some heavy going this year. The 9 year can be one of depression, illness and constant frustration when nothing works. It is time to let go. That which should be eliminated now becomes burden if carried over into the new cycle next year. The 9 year is full of mood swings and unexpected happenings. Friendships, marriages, and partnerships that have been floundering will face a point of reckoning during this cycle. Loss of a loved one can open old wounds and inner searching. Be willing to let go of relationships that are no longer in touch with the changes taking place in your life. Let new contacts and acquaintances enter your life to infuse new vigor into the life stream.

This year is one of letting go of selfish needs and giving birth to the altruistic inspiration within your heart and soul. The year can bring greatly increased intuition and artistic inspiration. Psychic sensitivity grows stronger. Open your heart to the possibility of having your fondest dreams come true. Balance the ledger and be ready for the new cycle ahead.
