After reading your 2 Essence and 9 Personal year texts, ~first~, you may have surmised the potential for turbulence in emotions and relationships this year. Your 2 Essence is concerned with feelings (yours and those of others), however your 9 Personal Year can be somewhat aloof and ready to move on.

These conflicting influences can produce discord or bring relationships to a close. Relationships that are on shaky ground but have a genuine connection usually mend, even strengthen, during this period. However, relationships that are irreparably damaged (due to betrayal or abandonment, for instance) tend to end.

Having a 9 as your Personal Year number suggests this will be a period of completion and getting rid of excess baggage. Your 2 Essence will bring the focus to relationship issues - both personal and work related - so the 9's need to tie up loose ends will very likely affect your relationships, as well as other areas of your life.

Depending on your career the 9 and 2 can be beneficial, or not. If you work with people in healing or education (nurse, psychologist, social worker, teacher, etc.) it tends to be quite favorable. Work that centers around negotiation (retail, real estate, politics, law, law enforcement) are not as well supported. While the 2 is generally a good negotiator, the indifferent, aloof 9 can undermine this quality.

Finance is usually affected positively. The enhanced intuition of the 2 and material detachment of the 9 tend to work well together in this area. Another positive aspect of the 9 is its potential to deliver "luck and good fortune," especially where money is concerned. (This is different from the 8, for example, which is required to work for material gain.) 

This period asks you to let go and finalize past issues. Consequently, there will be less support for romance, long-term commitments, and extended contracts. The best approach for meeting the year's challenges will be to focus time and attention on your relationships, and work to clear unproductive habits, possessions, and circumstances.
