What Will 2008 Bring You?

(Text in this color is new for this year.)

 

I believe that at our Soul level we consciously select our name, our time and place of birth, and our birth/adoptive families.  We also choose our life challenges and their “soulutions.”  The purpose of these choices is to allow us to combine our physical Self with our cosmic Self to become co-creator’s. with The All That Is

 

As practiced in the West, Numerology is based on a system developed by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras.  Numerology is the science of interpreting the patterns of numbers and letters as they interact with other frequencies, each other, and our realities. 

 

Cosmic Numerology, a branch I’ve added to the tree of Numerology, is a melding of the sciences of Numerology and Quantum Physics with the concepts of reincarnation and gematria (Articles.) Cosmic Numerology is the study of the patterns and frequencies associated with the numbers and letters that make up our realities.  It can identify the behavior patterns of individuals, businesses, or countries. It also identifies the challenges and soulutions associated with those patterns.  Whether it’s a name, an illness or disease, an address or various foods, chemicals, minerals, colors or cravings, they all have one thing in common; they symbolize the interrelationships of the energies and events that affect our lives.  Numbers and letters represent the codes of creation.  Cosmic Numerology views these codes as being generated by conscious choice. 

In this article, I would like to discuss the vibrations of the personal year (PY).  The PY cycle lasts nine years with each preceding year setting the tone for the following year.  The PY begins on January 1 and lasts until December 31.  

 

*       *       *       *       *       *       *

First, a little bit about last year.

2007 was a Universal 9 year (add 2+0+0+7) and the culmination of everything we’ve experienced since 1998.  For some it was an “up” year, for others it was a “down” year. For everyone, it was a watershed year; a year in which we were called upon to face our core issues (see Articles “Your Year 2007. )  

 

2008 is a Universal 1 year (2+0+0+8=10 1+0=1). 

When the universal year (1) is melded with your personal year, we get a strong clue as to what we need to focus on.  This combination can provide opportunities for new starts in specific areas.  For example, if you are in a:

 

1 PY focus on your passion . . . develop the courage and faith to do what you love

2 PY focus on timely communication and releasing emotional and sentimental attachments

3 PY focus on focusing.  Social interactions need to be emotionally honest.

4 PY focus on making it happen; no procrastination, no stubbornness

5 PY focus on being conscious of opportunities for change and new beginnings

6 PY focus on letting go of unrealistic expectations of Self and others

7 PY focus on trusting that Spirit is always present and supportive

8 PY focus on walking your talk

9 PY focus on practicing unconditional love and releasing emotional baggage

 

*       *       *       *       *       *       *

 

Every number has a challenge and “soulution.”  Regardless of what personal year an individual, business, or country is experiencing each year, the solution for everyone on the planet is universally the same.  This year the universal solution is 2.  A 2 solution calls for co-operation, timely communication, working in partnership with others, being able to compromise, and accepting the role of mediator, arbitrator, balancer.  We can work with each other, not against each other. 

 

How to Determine Your Personal Year (PY) for 2008.  Add your month and day of birth together then reduce the sum to a single digit.  Add that single digit to the current year (2+0+0+8 =  10  1+0=1). The result represents your PY. 

 

  

Follow these steps: 

  • The months of January through September are numbered one through nine.  October (10), November (11), and December (12) are double-digit months.   Next, add the double digits together to obtain a single digit.  For example, December is the 12th  month, add 1 + 2 = 3. 

 

  • Now do the same for the day you were born; reducing double-digits to a single digit.  If you were born November 18th, you would add 1 + 1 = 2 for the month (of November) and 1 + 8 = 9 for the day.  

 

  • Your month of November a 2 (11 = 1+1 = 2) and your day of birth, a 9, (1+8 = 9) added together equals 11.  By reducing 11 (1+1) to 2, we find your Achievement Number. (AN).   
  • Add your 2 AN to the current year reduced to a single digit (2+0+0+8 = 10  1+0=1). Next, add the 2 Achievement Number to the Universal Year of 1.  The sum is 3.  For everyone with a 2 AN, this is a 3 Personal Year.   

 

 

With an Achievement Number of:               2008 as a Personal Year is a:

1                                                                                                                    2

2                                                                                                                    3

3                                                          4

4                                                          5

5                                                          6

6                                                          7

7                                                          8

8                                                          9

9                                                          1

 

After the description of the potentials for each personal year (PY), I’ve given a general interpretation of the positive and negative characteristics applicable to that number.  You can use these interpretations to determine whether in relation to a specific number you’re either more positive, more negative, or balanced.

 

A "One" Year    New beginnings. 

Your own masculine energy (assertive behavior) is required to initiate your plans.  This year sets the tone for the remainder of the 8 years of this cycle.  You will begin to feel this energy by late October of the preceding year.  It is an ideal year for starting new projects.  Do not expect to start a new personal relationship as all of your energy should be directed toward birthing the project decided upon in your 7 PY (2004).  If you are in a relationship, tell your partner that you need to make your Self your first priority and will give them as much of your energy as you can.

 

Do not expect much help from others; it is time to go it alone.  If there is little outside help available, there will also be little outside hindrance to your plans.  This is not a year to end anything... it is strictly a year of beginnings.   

 

Some of your challenges this year involve letting go of emotional and sentimental attachments, speaking up in a timely manner, trusting your intuition more, and being more discerning about sharing your time with others.  Don’t be arrogant.  If necessary, be willing to compromise or accept inputs from others.  Don’t be afraid to ask from help.

 

There could still be emotional residue left over from the 9 PY throughout the first quarter.

 

Other challenges associated with a 1 PY are the need to:  have sufficient faith in your Self; have patience --- plant the seeds, they will grow; being overly analytical to the point of mental, emotional or physical paralysis; being too fearful to act.  Things (emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual) not completely released in the nine year will resurface especially during the first quarter of this year.

 

The main lesson to be learned this year is to learn to believe  in your Self . . . to walk your talk and know that Spirit is by your side.  You've thought about this since your 7 PY --- now do it!  The activities and energy put forth this year will set the tone for the next eight years of your life.  If you don’t want the next 9 years to be like the last 9 years, but more intense, then make yourself your first priority.

 

1

(Issues of the Ego–Self)

Positive

Self-directed, leader, paradigm buster, innovator, assertive, energetic, balanced, follows internal guidance, an initiator, comfortable with Self.

 

Negative

Passive, aggressive, egocentric, low self-esteem, fearful, a zealot, timid, a bully, arrogant, no sense of self

 

 

A "Two" Year     Co-operation.

Your own feminine energy (intuition /cooperation) is required for seeking, accepting, or offering help.  This is a year when the ego should be put on a shelf.  This is a year for beginning or ending relationships (social, romantic, business or with Self).   You will meet many people that will help you along your path.  Because 2 is the number for partnerships, this is a year to strengthen your relationship with Spirit by learning to trust that everything is divinely timed. 

 

When we speak of relationships, most people think about  involvement with an “other;” a soul mate.  I suggest you seriously consider taking the time this year to first establish a relationship with your Self, then establish a relationship with Spirit.  How do you establish a relationship with Spirit?  First, acknowledge you are ready to release control of your life.  Then say to Spirit “I’ve tried it my way for ___ years, and it hasn’t been working.  I surrender.  What would you like me to do? Where do you need me? Bring me guidance.

 

You can also expect to see some results from the efforts of the 1 PY.  One could also expect help during the first quarter, if the project begun in the 1 PY has not been totally completed.  You will meet many people that will help you along your path.  Learn to feel and trust your intuition.  Work on your communication skills.  Speak from your heart and in a timely manner.

 

In a 2 year or 2 month, one tends to accumulate things, a good many of which you won't remember where they came from or how you got them.  In a 2 month expect to find an extra pen . . . .  Things tend to stick to us when a 2 is around.

 

The main lesson to learned is balance and good communication will be needed in all of your relationships; don’t to be too sensitive or too insensitive to others; watch the sarcasm  Don’t be disappointed if others “let you down”; after all your expectations were probably unrealistic to begin with.

 

Challenges for the year can revolve around feelings of inadequacy that may lead to scattered energy or not following through, anxiety related to emotional intimacy, being unforgiving towards those that disappointed you, and co-dependent behavior patterns.

 

 2

(Issues Involving Others)

Positive

Sensitive, intuitive, cooperative, a mediator/arbitrator, friendly, communicates in timely fashion, detail oriented, tactful, loyal, organizer, harmonizer


Negative

Subservient, shy, overly sentimental, timid, careless about “things,” codependent, does not speak up for self, self-centered, can’t let go emotionally, blunt, insensitive or overly sensitive, has difficulty working with others – not a team player, hides emotions

 

 

A "Three" Year    Social Activity and Creativity.  

This is an ideal time to renew old friendships and form new ones.  It is a year of creativity, manifestation, and for expressing your Self socially and/or through art, music, writing, or speaking. Have fun!  Bring joy into people's lives.  It is a time when the ideas and plans implemented in the 1 PY come to fruition.  This is the best year, other than a 1 PY, to birth new ideas and projects. 

 

Your challenge is not to choke off your creativity by being stubborn, overly logical, or getting lost in minutiae.  Your “brilliant” solutions could become the problem if you are not open to input from others.  

 

Other challenges for 2008 may include: Trouble keeping you word . . . due to the number of promises you’ve made.  Don’t become frustrated or angry with those that are not as enthusiastic about your ideas as you are.  Be patient and have faith as your ideas move from the realm of thought and visualization into reality.  Maybe you need to be more persuasive in conveying the passion you feel for your new projects.  Maybe you need to compromise . . . a bit more. 

 

3

(Issues Involving Communication and Social Interactions)

Positive

Joyful, witty, artistic, charismatic, charming, creative, intelligent, optimistic, communicator, extrovert, visionary, musician, good sense of humor – likes to laugh

 

Negative

Moody/emotional, unforgiving, scattered, introvert, exaggerates, vain, feelings of inferiority or inadequacy, leaves things unfinished, sarcastic, grandiose plans, jealousy , concerned about be judged, temperamental, ill-tempered

 

 

A "Four" Year     Focus on work. Be practical.  You may feel "boxed-in" or "put-upon" or a sense of limitation.  The 4 represents the foundation.  It is time to concentrate on work and to pay attention to the details. Don’t procrastinate.  You cannot depend on others for help, they will not do the job to your satisfaction and it will take more time to educate them than it would to do the job yourself.  Put off taking a vacation until mid-August.

 

A year to focus on work.  A time to put your “nose to the grindstone and shoulder to the wheel;” no more excuses . . . make it so #1!  You may feel boxed-in or "put-upon" or a sense of limitation.  The 4 represents the foundation, it is time to concentrate on work, to pay attention to the details.  It is not a time to take a vacation as a sense of guilt may prevail (knowing how much others' are depending on you to get the job done).  You cannot depend on others for help as they will not do the job to your satisfaction and it will take more time to educate them than it would to do the job yourself.  Furthermore, they will seldom complete the job to your level of satisfaction.  To get the most out of this year, accept the limitations and demands of work lovingly and without complaint or resentment.  By August, the vibration will begin to change.  The efforts made at this time will determine the stability of the remaining five years of the cycle. 

 

A 4 year is a buying/selling time.  It is the time to buy a new house (i.e., a rental property, restoration, etc.) but not to move into a new house.  Buy land in a 4 year, build in a 6 year. (1 or 6 is moving, 9 may be good for moving, depending on your motives.)

 

The challenges associated with a 4 PY are:  procrastination, a judgmental attitude toward those whom you think is not pulling their weight; a sense that "it's not fair" that you have to do all of the work.  From a health standpoint, be aware of growths, difficulties with teeth, and challenges with circulation.  If you quit you job because of boredom or frustration, it's quite possible that your work life for the remainder of the nine year cycle will be unstable.

 

In a 4 and 5 year, there is a potential for a 10% weight gain.  If exercise is used to lose weight, it will lead to increased hunger and possibly more eating.  To take it off and keep it off, do more physical labor.

 

The major challenges this year are not staying focused on the task at hand and not paying enough attention to the details.  Flexibility is important; don’t be afraid of changes to your plans or ideas. 

 

If you maintain your confidence this can be a year of breakthroughs in many areas. . . a time for bringing your dreams and visions into concrete form.

 

4

(Issues Involving “Getting It Done”)

Positive

Organized, architect, builder, systematic, logical, dependable, practical, manager, ability to totally focus on a task, a logician

 

Negative

Prejudicial, a reactionary, a procrastinator, unimaginative, gets lost in minutiae, stubborn, goes by their “book”, confrontational, dull, hides in logic, can be hateful.

 

 

 

A "Five" Year     A year of change and a second chance for a new beginning. 

You’re halfway through the nine year cycle. This is a year of freedom and change.  Opportunities for new beginnings will present themselves.  You can change your job, indulge the physical senses (within moderation), enjoy a flirtation.  Personal freedom will be at its peak, take advantage of it. Travel, whether as many short trips or a long journey, will be high on your agenda this year.

 

The challenges are not to use concern for others as an excuse for not moving forward, and letting go of unrealistic expectations for your Self and others.

 

This is a year for changes.  Halfway through the nine year cycle, you now have the opportunity to "start again."  You can change your job, travel, indulge the physical senses (within moderation), enjoy a flirtation, seek a change in employment.  Personal freedom will be at its peak, take advantage of it, it will not be hard to find. Travel, whether as short trips or a long journey, will be high on the agenda this year.  Mostly anything started in a 5 PY will not be of a lasting nature (18 months) if the decision was made in the head and not the heart.  Experiment with new clothing colors or styles.  Do not try to maintain a tight schedule but try to "go with the flow."

 

 In a 4 and 5 year, there is a potential for a 10% weight gain.  If exercise is used to lose weight, it will lead to increased hunger and possibly more eating.  To take it off and keep it off, do more physical labor.

 

The challenges associated with a 5 PY are:  a tendency to gain weight due to impulsive eating habits and/or not being able to burn off excess energy; a tendency to drive a little faster than you normally do --- watch out for radar traps; challenges with being too self indulgent; not being flexible enough; being sensually immoderate by not knowing "when to say when," being nervous and high-strung. 

 

During a 5 year one can:  become more impulsive, make hasty decisions, allow boredom to get them into mischief.  If you gamble, even if it’s just for fun, do it consciously . . . moderation is the key word.

 

The main lessons to be learned this year are to practice moderation in all things, to take a chance on the unknown and not fear spontaneity, don't make workday obligations your primary concern, and let go of perceived emotional burdens.  Don’t fight or struggle against the forces bringing change into your life.  Every change is a new opportunity.   You are being given a second chance (1 PY was also new beginnings).   

 

The primary challenge for 2008 is to face and overcome any fears or feelings of unworthiness associated with success and abundance.   Also, don’t become frustrated if things are not moving as quickly as you like.  Be patient.  Remember, you made a deal with Spirit to follow its lead, not your agenda.

 

If you have learned to make your Self your first priority, you won’t make decisions based on lust or physical attraction. (Being screwed in more ways than one.)  This is a great year for making transitions, don’t let abandonment or separation issues prevent you from moving forward.  It will be 5 more years before you’ll be able to focus on your Self again.  Take full advantage of your opportunities. 

5

(Issues Involving Change And Movement)

Positive

Flexible, freedom loving, physical, enjoys life, loves innovation and change, curious, can be a moderate, balanced

 

Negative

Rigid, impulsive, self-indulgent, inconsistent, promiscuous, physical excesses, too yielding, unbalanced

 

                                  

A "Six" Year     A year of service and responsibility.

Like a 2 PY, it is also an excellent year for beginning or ending personal relationships or strengthening your relationship with Spirit.  Beginning this year and lasting through the 9 PY, learn to put the needs of other's ahead of your own. It is also a good time to deal with real estate in any form --- buying, selling, renting out a property or fixing one up.  Be charitable, tolerant, and forgiving.  Emit love . . . do not go to bed angry. 

 

This is a year of service and responsibilities.  Beginning this year and lasting until the end of this nine year cycle, the obligation is to put the needs of other's ahead of your own.  Like the 2 PY it is also a good year for beginning or ending relationships.  It is also a good time to deal with real estate in any form --- buying, selling, renting out a property or fixing one up.  It is a time to be of service to your family and/or your community. Community could include work relationships.  It is a year to deal with collecting and paying out monies owed.  It is a year for taking care of your health, after the pleasures of the 5 PY.  Be charitable, tolerant, and forgiving.  Emit love . . . do not go to bed angry. 

 

The challenges associated with a 6 PY are:  water damage (burst pipe, leaky faucet, mold/mildew, insufficient fluids in the car, an open window during a rain), failure to act on the behalf of others, digestive difficulties, weight gain due to an overactive sweet-tooth.  Other challenges include being to "scattered," that is, trying to do for everyone and not having sufficient time for anyone.  Or maybe you make promises that you cannot keep.

 

The challenges are to remain optimistic, not become a pincushion for other people’s emotions, and become aware of your abandonment issues. Over involvement in the affairs of others will bring frustration. Don’t be the martyr, become the mentor.

 

The primary challenges for 2008 are:  you could easily fall into a pattern of doing for others but only if allowed to do “things” on your terms.  If you are not given the power you seek, you may become a non-participant.  You don’t want to be blamed for the screw-ups of others; you feel your way is the most logical and can therefore become stubborn. 

 

The main lessons to learn this year are to be flexible not rigid or caught in perfectionist tendencies.  Remember the 5 PY and the need for flexibility when dealing with others.  Love everyone equally and lovingly offer your assistance to others. 

6

(Issues Involving Family, Community, Relationships)

Positive

Responsible, advisor/counselor, protector, nurturer, humanitarian, service oriented, domestic, compassionate,  mentor

 

Negative

Perfectionist, a martyr, nosey, overly protective, difficulty making commitments, co-dependent, irresponsible, avoids obligations, commitments, relationships, or responsibility.  A giver of unsought advice.

 

 

A "Seven" Year     A year of self-analysis as well as learning to surrender.  What is decided upon now and developed throughout the 8 PY and 9 PY, determines your spiritual direction and your level of conscious satisfaction during the next nine year cycle.   The 7 PY is the time Spirit gives you to figure out who you are and where you are going.  By September 25th of the 7 PY, you must decide where you want to go, what you want to be, and how you are going to get there. (You can modify your decisions during the fourth quarter, but for now it is imperative that you place your order with the Universe verbally or in writing.)  These decisions will begin being activated in your 1 PY.

 

Business and financial opportunities will present themselves this year, but for them to materialize you’ll have to learn how to allow them to unfold and not “try” to make them happen.

 

The challenges are to let go of the ego’s illusions of being in control and being “abandoned” (whether by Spirit or humans).  Other issues involve frustration that things are not moving quickly enough along with concerns over money, finances, or employment.  Have the courage to know that you are totally supported by Spirit and only need to ask for what you desire and then be patient until it arrives.

 

This is a year of self-analysis and for telling the universe what you wish to accomplish in your next 9 year cycle, which begins in 2009.  This can be a year of gaining spiritual clarity.  This can also be the hardest year of the 9 year cycle.  The entire year will revolve events that will call for you to leap into nothingness and know that you will either sprout wings and fly or a solid path will rise to meet your feet.

 

Imagine God coming over to you and putting his arm around you.  She calls you by name and says, “Listen to me.  Look over there; do you see those bountiful fruit trees?  All their fruit is yours.  It is the most delicious fruit you will ever eat.  If you are thirsty, drink from the stream of milk and honey that flows next to you.  There are two stipulations for you to enjoy this garden.  First, IF IT DOESN’T ROLL WITHIN YOUR GRASP OR FALL INTO YOUR LAP, IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE YOURS, release it.  Second, if what you desire does not fall into your lap or roll within your grasp, ask me for it.  But remember, I’m running a Universe so be patient and have faith that you have been heard.  And trust that however your life unfolds you chose your experiences to help you remember your divinity.”

 

To me, this is the most important year in the nine year cycle. What is decided upon now and developed throughout the 8 PY and 9 PY, determines the spiritual direction and level of conscious satisfaction for the next nine year cycle.   The 7 PY is the time Spirit gives you to figure out who you are and where you are going.  By September 25th of the 7 PY, you must decide where you want to go, what you want to be, and how you are going to get there.  It’s like being in a restaurant, order what you want and expect it to arrive.  This is a Cosmic restaurant so order everything on the menu.  You’re ordering for the coming 9 year cycle (beginning in 2009).  The 8 and 9 PYs will give you the time to research, practice, and refine your decisions.  The 7 PY causes you to withdraw socially, to feel "tired," to want to be near water (whether it's a bathtub, a stream, the ocean, or a home fountain).  The last quarter of the year will bring powerful and enlightening dreams and visions.   This is not a time to look outward, to feed the ego, to ignore intuitive feelings, or to push your agenda.

 

Being in a 7 PY, you have an 8 Achievement Number.  This is also an 8 Universal Year.  Put as simply as possible if you don’t learn to surrender to the will of the Universe, if you don’t learn to allow things to “happen,” if you still try to “make” it happen, you could face some serious health issues this year.  The health issues could emanate from the heart/chest area or the brain/head area.

 

Don’t try to put square pegs in round holes for their own good.  This could be coming from a need to be validated for your intelligence.  If validated, it is acknowledged that you are wise and therefore need to be kept in the group.  (It’s an abandonment/separation issue.)

 

The challenges associated with a 7 PY are:  anytime you push your agenda, it will cost you --- either in time, money, frustration or physical health.  If you spend too much time in the "outside" world, one way or the other Spirit will guide you inward.  If you ignore the gentle guiding, you could be incapacitated in some way either through illness or loss of mobility by July or August (nothing major, could be 3 – 7 days.)  Slow down, pay attention to the details, and build a solid foundation.  Don’t be overly analytical or afraid to be alone. 

 

The main lesson of the 7 PY is to surrender, and practice patience and faith.  Lock this in because in the 8 PY where the pursuit of material success is primary, one tends to forget their spirituality.  This could lead to backsliding.  The other main lessons are letting go of control issues and learning to surrender to the flow of the universe.  It is the ideal time to deal with vulnerability issues.

 

The primary challenges for 2008 are to overcome any tendencies to become frustrated because “things” are not moving as fast as you want them to move.  Your financial concerns are baseless, you will be given what you need, not what you want. 

 

7

(Issues Involving Trust, Skepticism, and Control)

 

Positive: Trusting, spiritual, analytical, psychic, introspective, empathetic, objective, open, vulnerable, a seeker of knowledge, patient, insightful, analytical, can see all sides of an issue.

 

Negative: Controlling, fearful, distrustful, impatient, a need to be needed, emotionally closed, mental or emotional paralysis from being overly analytical, totally disconnected emotionally, zealot, martyr, messianic feelings, co-dependent.

 

 

An "Eight" Year     A year of money and finance.  Having developed faith, patience, and self-awareness in your 7 PY, it is time to "strut your stuff."   If you cooperated in your 2 PY, kept you nose to the grindstone in the 4 PY, and were of service in your 6 PY, then you will be rewarded either materially or financially (or both) this year; if not, this will be a very difficult year . . . one of financial hardships or karmic paybacks.

 

The challenge is to stop doing things to be loved or to maintain control and to start appreciating and using your innate wisdom, knowledge, and expertise.  Love your Self.

 

This year is all about money, finance, power and recognition.  Having developed faith, patience, and self-awareness in your 7 PY, it is time to "strut your stuff."  It will be hard to remember the spiritual lessons of the 7 PY, but those lessons are imperative for your success in the 8 PY.  If you cooperated in your 2 PY, kept you nose to the grindstone in the 4 PY, and were of service in your 6 PY, then you will be rewarded either materially or financially (or both) this year; if not, this will be a very difficult year . . . one of financial hardships, some type of legal proceeding (possibly contractual) or karmic paybacks.

 

When we are in an 8 year we become much more materialistic than we might usually be.   The last half of an 8 year (July – December) is when the larger expense's (bills?) begin to befall us.  Seriously consider thinking about buying what you think you are going to need or feel you will need for the remainder of the cycle (i.e., from the 8 through the 9).  All of this must be done prior to July 1 of the 8 year.  After July 1 sit back and be prepared to make decisions concerning repairing, replacing, or maintaining (for the next 18 months).  For the first 6 months one has the option to repair or replace.  Once one enters the 9 year, "things" that cost money to replace or repair should be released . . . discarded.  NEVER SPEND MONEY TO REPAIR OR REPLACE ANYTHING IN A 9 YEAR...the reason is that "its time was up".  One was meant to live without it.  If this is ignored, whatever is bought will not last!!!  THE PURCHASE WILL BE VERY MUCH REGRETTED!!!!!!!!!!!! 

 

The first six months of the 8 PY are especially good for initiating plans and projects.  Buy nothing new after July 1 as the cycle is coming to a close.  Have it repaired.  New purchases should be delayed until the beginning of the new nine year cycle (18 months away).

 

In an 8 year, one will be a witness to physical violence in some way.  One will be attracted to it . . . even the news stories one is attracted to will be about some type of violence. (This can also apply to countries in an 8 PY. 

 

The challenges associated with an 8 PY are:  anger directed at authority (whether at home, at work, or on the road), impulsive and inflexible behavior, failure to carry through on your plans, overspending, faulty logic, and having grandiose ideas but not taking the time to thoroughly prepare and organize for their success.

 

A major challenge this year is the possibility that you will not maximize your opportunities for success if apprehension about success leads you to use “doing” for others as an excuse for not doing for your Self.

8

(Issues Involving Power, Money, Control, or Status)

 

Positive: Initiates/delegates/orchestrates, logical, likes to be in charge, a leader, makes it happen, good at politics or business and commerce or leading institutions or organizations. Walks their talk.

 

Negative: Easily frustrated, temper, extravagant/cheap, dictatorial, stubborn, materialistic, demands recognition, mean, a bully, fearful of using personal power, can be disloyal if they feel slighted or ignored.

 

 

A " Nine" Year  This is a year of endings and letting go.  A time to travel, especially long distances.  This year is the "final exam."  All that you have learned throughout the current cycle you will be called upon to use this year.  Start nothing new that you wish to continue.  This is an excellent year to end associations or dealings with those that are getting you down.  Minimize the ego's reactions to losses and emotional disappointments by realizing that you are preparing your Self for the new beginnings of your 1 PY.  

 

The challenge is not to fight the coming changes but to embrace them.  If you don’t want the next 9 years to be a repeat of the last 9 (only more intense), learn to allow things to happen instead of trying to make them happen.  Let go of the need to be validated . . . validate your Self.

 

9

(Issues Involving Selflessness)
