While reading the chapters on your Essence and Personal Year cycles, ~first~, you may have surmised few number combinations are as well matched as the 4 and 8.

Your 4 Essence will lend a practical, efficient mindset that gives you a solid grip on practical matters, details, and time management. It will help you stay sharp, focused, and stable.

Your 8 Personal Year will deliver the events needed to bring out the visionary in you, with the ability to see far and aim high. This is a time of golden opportunities, but there is a caveat: even with so much going for you, to realize success you will need courage, decisiveness, and determination.

To manifest your goals, you will need to apply yourself 100 percent - not unlike a soccer player when an opening suddenly appears. If you are not prepared to jump in and give it all you've got, you will miss the opportunity at hand. This year, you have the supportive traits necessary to fulfill even a long-time goal.

As harmonious as the 4/8 combination can be for work and business, relationships may not fare as well. You may be so focused on progress and building your (material) future that you neglect the needs of those close to you. Make added effort to be available and carefully consider changes that will affect your loved ones.

Your greatest asset for work and other practical concerns will be your ability to make the pieces fit together. You should be well equipped to recognize opportunities as they come and know just how to take advantage of them.
