Personal Year 1        New Directions: Establish Goals for next 9-Year Cycle

Personal Month 6      Highlights: Marriage, divorce, children, duties and responsibilities; improving health

Last week's pleasures may seem a thing of the past as you toil with a somewhat heavier workload. If working you may be sitting through tedious meetings. In work or personal life you may be dealing cumbersome rules, restrictions, or obstacles now. If looking for work, you may be thinking seriously about looking for temporary or part-time job—especially if unemployment benefits are shrinking. Despite having to come up with some creative solutions, the next few weeks promise stability; in even dire situations, you will be amazed at how all your needs are met. Family life and even the most mundane tasks give a feeling of connection and satisfaction. However, don't be surprised if family duties take more time (and money) than you expected. Despite daily chores and routine, find a patch of time to read a magazine, or catch up on your personal interests. In many ways each choice you make now is planting seeds for further joy and success. If at all possible, spend time in nature; even if you have little or no room for a proper garden, plant a couple of pots with herbs or succulents. Singles: This week is an excellent time for engagements, moving in together, marriage, or starting a family. AVOID: Saying yes to things you don’t have time for. FOCUS: On making progress in at least one small area.

Personal Year 2           Relationships, Partnerships, Joining Like-minded Groups are Sources of Satisfaction and a Feeling of Progress

Personal Month 7         Time to reconsider what you want; reflection, rejuvenation, synchronicity, desire for simpler living or nature

This is one of those week that tend to be somewhat frustrating for one reason or another. Generally, you are in a bit of a “time-out” for a few weeks, so relax when you can. Since your attention may wander at times, be very careful when driving in bad weather or generally moving ab out. This is a good time for inner development or enjoying activities such as writing, researching, and learning. Unemployed people benefit from doing background research on developments in your field—or a field that is up and coming. Contacting an expert could revitalize an idea or present a new angle. Relationships tend to mellow out now, but that might be because you are in different parts of the house working on your own thing. If single, don’t get discouraged! This is a weekend for a movie, a long walk, or a beer with a friend. Married people may be traveling to meet relatives. Try to see the other person's point of view, if and when conflicts arise. Delays, while frustrating, may give time for new ideas to emerge. AVOID: Too much isolation. FOCUS: Contemplation; re-organizing your closet,

Personal Year 3          Self-expression, Exploring Ideas, Going in a New Direction; Good Fortune, Good Timing, Optimism, Happiness

Personal Month 8         Power struggles could resolve easier if you are flexible; good time for business success, increasing financial flow, and removing obstacles; tendency to splurge

Past efforts are definitely starting to pay off. This could be a very satisfying week for finances, sales, investments, real estate transaction, credit settlements, or job promotions. Any contract problems could be near resolution; you find the right people to help. Some people are starting a new job, buying property, dealing with school authorities, or making tough personal decisions. You may decide to delay recreation or vacation until you have things more under control. Despite whatever may be going on financially in your world, you know you are going to handle it. AVOID: Buying things on credit. FOCUS: Save money whenever you can; avoid a tendency to splurge.

Personal Year 4         Practicality; Think About Building a Foundation for the Future

Personal Month 9       Wrap up outstanding issues; envision a step toward a worthy goal (like losing weight, saving more money, adopting a child, getting more education)

While this is definitely a transition period, you may be feeling a little bit cautious this week. An obstacle could cause you to get a lot more creative and resourceful. Travel is possible, but is in the interest of taking care of a problem. Job-seekers may feel poised to find or start a job. At this point, you could be looking at position for which you are over-qualified, but about which you feel there is potential. Since this is a period with a potential for feelings of discouragement or over-optimism, focus on what you want. Stay aware of your inner drives, some of which are not that healthy. Right now, you are prone to see problems where none exist. For example, a good friend or mate could tax your patience, even though they mean well and are trying to tell you that. The lesson? Step back from heavy judgments and take people as they are. Also, remember that judging yourself sucks away creative energy and is not helpful. Some will make a big decision this week and may decide to move on. AVOID: Procrastination or complicated explanations about why a problem exists. FOCUS: Completion; balance; organization.

Personal Year 5        A Year for Diversifying; Desire for Freedom; Benefits from Exploring New Avenues; Ability to Adapt to New Circumstances

Personal Month 1       Beginnings, new directions; time to make a personal choice that empowers; facing a situation squarely gives a feeling of power

A major shift occurs when you instinctively choose a new challenge. During this month you will be planning, revising, or getting a new project started. This week makes clear where your best efforts are needed. If sometimes you feel confused about what you want, remember that you are in exactly the place you need to be. Job-searchers are sure to see results soon. Whatever you are doing in life, notice the new winds of change that are blowing. For example, just when you thought your personal life is settling down, you might get some surprising news. Be confident and ready to handle whatever comes now. Allow yourself to think differently about who you are and what you can do when challenged. AVOID: Either procrastinating or pushing too fast. FOCUS: What do you really want?

Personal Year 6        Responsibility, Domestic Concerns, Creating Stability and Safety for Self and Others

Personal Month 2      Patience, intuition, ability to truly listen, diplomacy, tactfulness; getting the facts right; advocating, mediating, negotiating

May could have had you feeling a little sluggish; in some cases you might have a brief illness or feel discouraged. This week, your attention tends to wander, so be careful when driving or walking in busy areas. In some cases you might be waiting on the decisions of others. At work, for instance, you could be in the thick of complicated negotiations, meetings, or planning. Whatever is happening, you'll be tempted to email, text, or call people to get their opinion. Job-searchers: You could meet an encouraging person who gives a promising lead. If dating someone and feeling ready to go the distance—pop the question! During this period of favoring domestic ties, you could realize that, more than ever, you'd like to have romance in your life. It's even possible that your mother is pushing you to get married! If married already, others demand your time (your mother-in-law wants you to fix the faucet.) Aren’t relationships great? Polish the apple but avoid trying to please everyone now. AVOID: Denying how you really feel. FOCUS: Strengthen connections with friends or associates.

Personal Year 7        Review, Reflection, Rejuvenation, Simplification, Coming Home to True Self, Discovery

Personal Month 3      Self-expression, happiness, play, good luck, vacation

If you have recently been laid off, you could be fighting for money owed you this week. If working you could be feeling more than ready for a break. However, duties prevent you this week from leaving early or getting away. You could, however, spend a few minutes looking on-line for weekend activities, cruise specials, or spiritual seminar opportunities! This week's upbeat influences tends to give job-seekers an advantage. Try to get to the head of the line. A friendly call or email might do the trick. Because of the creative (read fertile) aspects of this period, love bugs might get pregnant this week! If single and looking, try to upgrade your look; invite someone out to the movies or a local event. If you are feeling that you are missing out on life, talk it out with someone whose wisdom you trust. AVOID: Getting into negative ruts and thinking. Practice eliminating negative comments for one whole day, then continue for the rest of the week. FOCUS: Think outside the box. If you want a new “something” in your life, make a list of every crazy suggestion you come up with in a ten-minute period. Set the timer. Go. In each idea, there lies a nugget. Do this with a friend!

Personal Year 8       Empowering Decisions; Financial Improvements; Success

Personal Month 4      Perseverance; working through obstacles; practical decisions; a feeling of progress; tendency to be stubborn, especially with authority figures or older people

Talk about biting off more than you can chew! This is one of those weeks where you dig in and handle details, deadlines, and drama. You may not see it, but you are definitely making progress and someone is taking note. This is the time to remember that everything happens for a purpose. Whatever is going on right now is strengthening you, although all you want to do is to fall into bed at night. This week helps show you that you can handle whatever comes. Even love feels a little bit like work this week, but hang in there for the pay-off. Finances tend to be the issue between couples now, so sit down with a cup of tea and examine the facts. A professional could help you handle the sticky parts or clarify a workable solution. It's very important not to push away problems now, and stay organized . Knowing that you are taking care of business gives you peace of mind at the end of the day. AVOID: Buying on credit. FOCUS: In a word—practicality.

Personal Year 9      Completion; Expanding Your World; Compassion, Release; Serving The Greater Good; Philosophical Understanding; Sacrifice

Personal Month 5     Unexpected shifts and changes; spontaneous travel; more free time

Confused? Restless? Tempted? Yes, you are right. This period is bringing a major transition in your life. Things tend to loom large to get your attention—both for the good and the not-so-good. For example, this week could bring a promotion, a new line of products, exciting new ideas—or a big let down. On the other hand, you might get up the courage to walk away from a long-standing uncomfortable situation. Surprisingly, the moment you truly feel “done,”something new emerges that could be much better than what you left behind. Whatever is going on, or not going on, you need a mini-break. If working, perhaps you can leave early on Friday. Job-seekers are likely to be considering more than one offer, or even starting their own small business. With change in the air, your love life could be taking a new turn. Couples could be re-thinking the future. On the one hand, you want to run away, but on the other hand, you know you have too much invested to make a decision in a hurry. Go with the flow; enjoy this freedom, and take advantage of the moment. AVOID: Making long-term commitments just yet. FOCUS: Stay open and practical.
