~first~, after reading your 1 Essence and 5 Personal Year you probably noticed the influences are well aligned and compatible. However, the combination can also be challenging, because both numbers carry a great deal of energy. Consequently, although there is real potential for progress and success, this could be a physically and mentally demanding period.

Both the 1 and 5 are dynamic numbers, but while your 1 Essence state of mind brings out a steady, focused push toward your goals, your Yearly cycle (ruled by the chaotic 5), will likely cause your circumstances and environment to change in unpredictable ways. It will be important for you to stay focused, especially when you are forced to react quickly and without much warning. By the end of the year, chances are you will look back to see very little went according to plan or expectation. Yet, you will likely find most things worked out just fine, perhaps even better than you had hoped.

The 1 and 5 combination can be particularly positive if you are flexible and adapt quickly. It will help you recognize and take advantage of opportunities you may not otherwise have noticed.

Relationships could be a little challenging this year. Some events will take place so quickly you will feel you have little control. Romance, however, is favorable. This is due to the heightened charisma and sense of humor brought by both influences.

All numbers have a negative side as well. Your challenges will revolve around self-discipline, inefficiency, and procrastination. Success this year will require extra effort to remain focused in these areas.
