You have a 9 Essence in a 2 Personal Year, ~first~, which offers some wonderful opportunities, as well as a few challenges.

Your 9 Essence cycle suggests you are at a time in life when you have a desire to simplify things. You may be tiring of situations or relationships that you recognize are holding you back. Your Essence influences your state of mind, your feelings, and the approach you will take to the situations you encounter this year. You will likely be seeking more time to yourself and less responsibility. Additionally, the 9 can make you feel a little distant from others and disinterested in emotional drama.

This is where the main challenge of this cycle enters. Your 2 Year will be busy delivering events that revolve around other people's needs at a time you may feel less able or interested in dealing with them. This attitude stems from your need to focus on your own issues, not from a lack of concern. Nevertheless, it might feel like the more effort you make to distance yourself from these situations, the more they appear. This could be the case in both your personal and professional life.

Although it won't always come easily, your best approach this year will be to move past any reluctance you have to be a support for others. Reach out and sacrifice part of your time even when you would prefer to walk away. In a 2 Year relationships very often contribute to - or are responsible for - the opportunities, improvements, and positive changes that are possible during this period.

This combination supports simplifying your life and minimizing your involvement in areas that no longer interest you; however, there is one important caveat. If your decisions affect other people, especially your loved ones and particularly where emotions are involved, examine your course of action carefully.

This period will require you to walk a fine line between streamlining your personal and professional life (discarding unproductive methods and unhealthy relationships) and nurturing the relationships you value.
