While reading your 8 Personal Year cycle, ~first~, you may have noticed this period will focus on progress and gaining the upper hand in competitive and material endeavors. Reading your 3 Essence chapter offered a very different picture. The 3 imparts a creative mind, but it is neither goal-oriented nor focused, which could greatly affect your ability to achieve success in business and financial matters.

Consequently, although the events and circumstances presented to you by the 8 have the potential to greatly benefit your professional life and finances, focus, discipline, and efficiency will be required to make them manifest.

What the 3 does bring to the table is greatly enhanced creativity, resourcefulness, originality, and the ability to think outside the box. It also heightens communication skills. If you are able to avoid the pitfalls of procrastination, lack of discipline, and difficulty sticking with the task at hand, this could be one of your most successful and prosperous years to date.

The 3 and 8 combination is favorable for romance and other relationships. People will be drawn to your optimistic, confident attitude. It should also increase your tolerance and desire to forgive. Be aware, though, that you may tend to be more demanding and authoritative than usual. Although these can be positive attributes at work, they have no place in loving relationships.
