~first~, having a 5 Essence during a 6 Personal Year can create conflict. However, you can help mitigate their discordant traits (and even turn them to your benefit) if you understand each number's characteristics, and the way they affect each area of your life.

Your 5 Essence could put you in a restless, at times even frantic state of mind. It indicates frustration and impatience with your current circumstances and a desire for change,

At the same time, your practical 6 Year (which influences the events and circumstances you encounter) will ask you to commit, stay the course and follow the rules. It could feel a little like being stuck in traffic when you've had way too much caffeine.

You can make this period less frustrating by slowing down and planning your moves carefully instead of letting the restless, unfocused energy of the 5 control you. For these opposing influences to work well in the practical areas of your life (career, finance, routine demands) you will need to be disciplined and focused.

On the upside, your 6 Year has the potential to draw support and strengthen your relationships. This influence draws people to you, offering advice and resources without you having to ask.

Relationships are favored this year. If there are issues, it should be easier than usual to forgive, accept, and heal conflicts. The loving, compassionate nature of the 6 is largely responsible for this, but the flexibility and tolerance of the 5 will contribute as well.
