Happy New Year! What do you think is up for you in 2009? First, let’s consider the numerology of the Universal vibration for the calendar year. For 2009, we add together 2 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 11. 1 + 1 = 2. The

Universal vibration for 2009 is 11 or 2.

The UNIVERSAL Year influences everyone. The 2 Universal vibration of 2009 indicates a general slowing down. This somewhat quiet period allows us to adjust to recent world-wide upheavals, while new possibilities germinate and emerge towards 2010. For this reason, I agree with the economic forecasts that predict that 2009 will bring a continued slowing in the marketplace as things balance out. The natural core qualities of number 2 require us to cooperate with circumstances—rather than try to advance overly fast. Two suggests that we focus on creating good relationships with others in 2009, which tend to serve as a source of support and well-being for the long-term.

Your PERSONAL Year number influences you. To find your Personal Year number, add your month plus your day of birth to 2 (the reduced total for 2009.) For example, for my birthday of January 22, I write January 22, 2009 I add 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 7. My personal year for 2009 is 7.

Personal Years run in nine-year cycles, so 2010 for me will be an 8 Personal Year and so on. After a 9 Personal Year, I will return to a 1 Personal Year again. My last 1 Personal Year was in 2003.

The Personal Year describes exactly what you have to accomplish during its course. I have suggested questions for you to ponder that may help you find your next step. By flowing with the requirements of your yearly cycles, you can accomplish everything you need to do over each nine-year period.

Action months indicate times when you may feel more restless, receive unexpected news, or make a move of home or job. Some years naturally have more action months than others.

What to Do in 2009

Personal Year 1

MAKE A NEW START. It’s time to plan, make new choices, launch, and moveforw ard. To increase success and self-confidence write down on paper the answers to these 5 questions: What new ideas do I want to develop or explore? Where do I need to speak honestly? How could I be more of a leader? What fear do I want to overcome? What skills am I willing to

improve? From past experiences, you know what you don’t want in a relationship, so now you may have strong ideals about love. However, be careful not to be too either too pushy or too needy. If the other person crowds you or is dishonest, you’ll probably move on. AVOID:

Stubbornness, missing the boat through timidity or shyness; hanging on to the past; blam e; waiting for 100% clarity; or procrastination. Action Months: April, August, and September.

Personal Year 2

FIND BALANCE AND INSIGHT. You happen to be in sync with the Universal vibration, and opportunities are more likely to meet good people, since fulfillment comes from deepening relationships and making new friends.

It’s time to slow down and enjoy what you have If you’ve been working too hard, now is the time to balance your life with love; either accept someone’s flaws and fully commit, or take steps to end an unequal partnership. Your questions this year are: What fear is holding me back?Is  this fear truly holding me back? How can I move through that fear? AVOID: Petty arguments; self-doubt; denial; becoming over-tired. Action Months: March, August, and December.

Personal Year 3

ENJOY LIFE AND DEVELOP YOUR CREATIVE SIDE. It’s time to lighten up and appreciate what this year brings your way—new social contacts, friends, or romance. Increase success by improving your appearance. Accentuate a positive attitude and be a little more open-minded. Try being more spontaneous, or learn to dance. Develop your skills in speaking, presenting, or writing. Your question this year is: How can I have more fun? AVOID: Procrastination; spending more than you earn; love triangles; working too hard with no play. Action Months: February, June, July, and November.

Personal Year 4

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE. If you’ve been waiting for your life to start, it’s time to ask yourself (and imagine) Where do I want to be in five years? What can I do now to get started? Begin now to eliminate debt, clutter, and indecision. Taking needed action gives relief and increased creativity. This is a time to set goals, fulfill deadlines, and feel good about what you have accomplished. With the Universal vibration of 2, there really is no rush to push anything now. AVOID: Letting deadlines slide; taking short cuts; unclear negotiations; deferring repairs on your car or apartment. Action Months: January, May, June, and October.

Personal Year 5

LET THE CHANGES BEGIN. It’s a year when you may feel restless or uncertain, but new opportunities are emerging in their own time due to the slow Universal 2 Year. Let things unfold, but be prepared to leap. Changes bring new energy and often, increased income. Listen to intuition and take short trips to see new things. You are likely to meet new people and come home re-energized. Your question is: What is calling me? What can I explore or try? AVOID; Staying in a rut; scattering your attention; promising more than you can fulfill; being too busy to exercise or see your mate; stubbornness. Action Months: April, May, and September.

Personal Year 6

INCREASE SECURITY. It’s a year for supporting others—with love, financial assistance, or spending time listening—especially with the Universal 2 Year vibration bringing new people into your life. Despite practical concerns you may marry, start, a family, or leave an unhappy situation. Increased attention to home, health, children, marriage, or even divorce is likely this year. Your question this year is: What can I do to increase the love, comfort, and security in my life? AVOID: Ruining your health with over-work or stress; release anxiety about what you cannot change; avoid futile arguments with mate or offspring and meddling in others’ affairs. Action Months: April and August.

Personal Year 7

REFLECT AND REJUVENATE. It’s time to use the NO word to eliminate time- wasting and stress. Take a mini-sabbatical by enjoying time in nature, walking, and restful solitude at home. Try watching less TV, listening to music, or eating better to strengthen and detoxify your system. Your questions this year are: What’s most important to me? Where can I simplify? What’s missing that I want to attract? What can I do to get back on track? You overcome tendencies for negativity by learning something new and connecting with like-minded people (even one person!) AVOID: Isolation; criticizing yourself or loved ones; letting discouragement harden your heart. Action Months: March, July, and December.

Personal Year 8

WORK SMART. This is the year to see results from efforts of the last few years. Review your finances and make logical, practical adjustments; consult with an expert to solve a problem; buy a new car; sell or expand your business by October. Ask for a raise or accept new responsibility. If unemployed, you either find a good job or think about starting a small business of your own. Your questions this year are: How can I improve my work attitude? How can I take my power back from someone who is drains me? AVOID. Regrets about past money deals; spending more than you can afford; trying to impress others; judging others unfairly. Action Months: January, February, June, October, and November.

Personal Year 9

INTEGRATE AND COMPLETE. This is the last year of your nine-year cycle, so you may be ready to let some people or situations go—especially with the people-centered Universal 2 Year vibration. Recognize when you are complete and not just giving up or running away. Get ready to expand your goals and enlarge your picture of yourself. New things are likely to come in around October, so clear the clutter in order to let new energy flow in. You might become interested in spirituality, other cultures, foreign travel, philosophy, or healing. Your questions are: How can I be of greater service? How can I let go of the need to be right? AVOID: Hanging on to the past; dwelling in regret, blame, or self-pity. Too much emotional drama. Action Months: January, May, September, and October.
