~first~, after reading your 6 Essence and 1 Personal Year chapters, you may be wondering how these very different numbers will affect you. Although they differ in other ways each of them is quite practical, so they should work well together in both your professional and personal life. Your 1 Personal Year inspires (and requires) increased drive and effort toward your goals, and your 6 Essence will help you accept more responsibility and expand your range of influence (in all areas of your life).

As you transition from last year's 9 to your current 1 Personal Year, you should begin to feel a change in yourself and your circumstances. The start of a new cycle can feel unstable while things are in flux, but your energy level and confidence should increase as you find the direction you want to pursue.

To use an analogy, last year was a time for letting go of excess baggage, like a balloonist tossing ballast to gain altitude. This year you have the opportunity to use the wind behind you to move quickly forward. Your best approach for this period is to carefully consider your priorities and schedule your time and resources shrewdly. Streamline your life as much as possible, and don't waste time on minor issues. Fortunately, this combination usually finds it fairly easy to garner the support and cooperation of others.

This is also a great team for making healthy lifestyle changes. If there is room for improvement, consider increasing your commitment to an exercise regime or nutrition program. In a way, you are beginning a new chapter in your life; the more speed you gain now, the farther it will take you.
