Having a 6 Essence during a 6 Personal Year is usually demanding, but it can be quite rewarding as well. ~first~, after reading your Essence and Personal Year chapters, it may have felt like you were viewing the same cycle twice. However, although their traits are similar, they affect you in different ways (depending on the area of your life they influence).

Your Personal Year cycle mainly affects the world around you, your circumstances and the events that will come your way. Your Essence affects the inner you, your mindset and the way you feel about the things you encounter. The fact that these cycles are ruled by the same number is a double-edged sword, creating both favorable and unfavorable effects.

On one hand, the double 6 team has the potential to cause considerable emotional turbulence. It often draws a continuous barrage of friends and loved ones soliciting advice, comfort, and time. Your heart will be easily and strongly affected by the emotions of others this year, very likely causing your own needs to take a backseat.

On the other hand, the love and gratitude you receive in return will compensate for much of your effort and loss of time. Still, you will probably experience emotional highs and lows - highs when you realize you have been able to uplift or comfort someone close to you, and lows if you feel giving has become a one-way street. It may feel like everyone is leaning on your shoulders, but they don't have the time or inclination to reciprocate. This combination stands out as a time of mental, emotional, and physical anxiety, but also a period of emotional healing for you and those you touch.

In addition, you may see increased responsibilities and added duties in your professional or productive life; this could lead to a promotion and/or an increase in income.

The double 6 makes your mind and body particularly responsive to the way you treat yourself. It is always important to make smart choices and demonstrate discipline in your diet and lifestyle, but never more than when a number combination affects you this strongly. This cycle centers on love and healing.
