~first~, having a 6 Essence during a 4 Personal Year is fortunate in a number of ways. Both are even numbers (making them realistic and practical) which can help business, career, and projects thrive. This well-matched team helps improve negotiating skills, time management, and efficiency. It also lends support for your personal and work-related relationships.

Your 4 Personal Year affects the events and circumstances around you. Its focus is on steady progress and getting things done. With its eye for detail, it is positive for legal matters and finances as well.

Your Essence number influences your feelings and state of mind during this period. The practical, realistic mindset of the 6 will be welcome support for the disciplined 4. It also lends a warm, caring demeanor to balance the 4's detail-oriented focus.

The 4 and 6 team make this a good year for home improvement projects, lifestyle changes - you should find it easier to be more disciplined - and managing health issues.

A drawback of having both cycles ruled by practical numbers is their tendency to be rigid. This can inhibit your creativity, making you less inclined to think outside the box or view problems from a fresh perspective. Still, it has the potential to produce considerable progress in many areas of your life.

There are a few things to watch out for. Although you relationships will generally fare well, you might be more sensitive than usual during this period. This could lead to being overly dramatic, and possibly prone to jealousy or gossip.
