A 9 Essence during a 5 Personal Year can make this somewhat hectic year a little difficult to manage ~first~. This is one of the few number combinations that work very well in one direction, but not as favorably in the other. The 5 is an excellent support to the 9, but the 9 does very little to reciprocate.

During a 5 Year, your circumstances can change without warning, leaving you with limited control. These changes will often, although not always, be in your favor ï¿½ especially if you respond and adapt quickly.

Your 9 Essence, however, will produce a more deliberate, cautious, sometimes hesitant state of mind. During a different Personal Year cycle this might be a smart approach, but it doesn't accommodate the quick thinking and fast action required this year. Do your best to stay alert and ready to seize opportunities; don't lose out due to an excess of caution.

Interestingly, when the 9 takes the lead, the 5 is even freer to move ahead. A main characteristic of the 9 is its need to remove excess baggage, and free you from outdated methods and unnecessary burdens. The 5 supports this ambition easily, as it is always ready for change. Consequently, your desire to rearrange and reorganize your priorities should pose no problems for a year that is already in flux.
