~first~, if reading about the progressive, dynamic energy of your 1 Essence, and your efficient, detail-oriented 4 Personal Year sounded promising for your career and other projects, you are correct. The traits of the 1 and 4 get along very well when handling practical, down-to-earth endeavors. However, other areas could be adversely affected by the combination.

Your 1 Essence directly affects your energy and state of mind. Its bold, aggressive nature will likely increase your desire to take charge, lead others, and tackle challenges. It is ambitious, independent, and courageous. You will likely find that co-workers and others in your professional life will support you. However, with its need to approach things carefully, the 4 in your Personal Year could dampen your drive.

Your Personal Year affects the external aspects of your life - events, your environment, and your circumstances. A 4 in this position demands a down-to-earth, detail-oriented approach. This could be frustrating, because you will not be in the mood to deal with particulars. Your bold 1 Essence could make you feel impatient and irritated by details you think are a waste of time and resources. During frustrating periods, it might be helpful to remember that "God is in the details," and deliberate attention to the little things will form the foundation for a favorable outcome. Discipline will be central to your success this year, and with your 1 Essence pushing for quick progress, there will be little room for procrastination.

If you are able to balance your highly motivated 1 attitude with proper organization and a persistent pursuit toward your goal, this could be one of your most successful years.

On a personal level, relationships with family, friends, and co-workers tend to be stable under this combination. Romance is less favored, as a 1 Essence can make you restless and quickly bored. If you are in a committed relationship, or interested in one, it may require extra effort and attention.
