Individual Number Forecast for 2008
What do the numbers hold in store for you this year?
Number 1
Those born on the 1st, 10th, 19th, 28th
In general
This year is the start of a new cycle of 9 years for you. It means that there will be many opportunities and potential for creating some exciting and new things in your life starting this year. This year is the start of more positive times for you, which is especially gratifying for you, considering last year may have been a little unstable and too much of an emotional roller coaster ride for your liking. You can take it easy now, because last year was the end of the most challenging times (for a while at least).
This year is also one of learning about yourself, who you are, what makes you happy and what you need in order to grow. Take heart, be courageous and really be true to yourself and you will be amazed at the changes that start to take place for you, that will benefit you in numerous ways.
You should listen to your 'gut feelings' and trust yourself about what you need to do this year - the foundations that you lay this year will put you in good stead for the upcoming years, when your hard work will pay off by the rewards that will come your way.
This is a year of great changes in your life in every single area of your life. Do not wait for life to come to you, go out and grab it and make your presence known. Take up a new and especially untried hobby, pursuit or activity and really put all your energy into making it something you love to take part in. Be flexible and take up any new opportunities that come your way, in whatever form they appear in, no matter how unexpected they seem to be. Only time will tell how they unfold, but they will always be to your advantage.
You really need to concentrate more on you this year and not be afraid of appearing self-centred, because what you are doing is making sure that you are really happy with your life and every aspect of your life. If there is anyone who tries to control or manipulate you in any way, this year you will start to realise what they are doing (if you haven't already) and break from from them. Learn to accept yourself and you will notice that any disapproval you had from others, will simply melt away. Their criticism will soon stop once they realise they cannot press your emotional buttons any long and cannot make you react in the same way as previously. This the year of your independence.
This is a year to just expect one thing - change and unexpected events.
Love life
Single: There are decisions you need to make in regards to how you approach your love life and the way that you look for a partner. Have a close look at what you truly desire in a partner, make a mental (or real) list and think deeply if these traits are what you desire in another person in order to be happy. Is the list too long? Is the list impossible? Are you maybe over-compensating for your own lack of traits? Is the list too short? Are you settling?. You can make changes to the list and have better success in finding the right person for you. Don't be afraid to make the changes that will bring you the kind of love and intimacy from someone who truly loves you and someone you deserve.
Partnered: You also need to think about your relationship and work out if it truly is giving you everything you want. If there are areas that need some improvement, if there is anything that is making you uncomfortable, this is the time to initiate any changes. Talk to your partner, let them know why you need what you need to change and make sure they are comfortable with you too. In some cases, there may be some separations of partnerships. This will only happen if your partner cannot travel in the new direction with you. If this happens, do not falter, as a new love is within your reach and one which will understand the new person you are becoming. Always be true to yourself.
Career
This year is the time to make those changes you have always been talking about: find a new job, leave your current job, make your hobby a business idea, work from home, ask for more flexible hours at work. Do whatever it will take to make your career and worklife a more interesting place and one which you can feel more passionate about. Make sure you plan your move first, to ensure you will not be losing money, but once you have secured your future, the keyphrase is: Go for it!
Money
This year money will be less of a burden than in the last year of turmoil and unstable conditions. This year, there will be a stable financial condition which will allow you to save a little bit more, to make the house/holiday/car that you have been dreaming about finally a reality.
Number 2
Those born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th, 29th
In general
This year is a slowing down for you, in order for you to reconnect with yourself and with other people that are important to you. You will need a great deal of patience this year, as nothing will happen very quickly; all events will come about at their own pace and you will just have to sit tight and handle it. If you try to push things through, they will invariable go awry, which means you may need to start all over again. It is advisable to just let events unfold as they will and have the patience to wait.
Your attention to detail will be a focus for the year - if you already look at the minutiae of everything you are involved in, then this will be easy for you. However, anyone that is sloppy or just looks to the big picture will find that this year, they will be taken to task for anything that has not had the attention to detail it deserves. This is just a lesson that you will have to learn this year - look closely at every detail.
This year you need to understand and accept your past, to enable you to live more fully in the present. If you need to do some talking with a trusted friend about the past or maybe some therapy with a professional, then go ahead and start it this year. You need to move on from the past, to forgive any hurts or pain inflicted on you and live in the now, to fully appreciate what you have and the potential for the future.
This year, you need to let out any feelings you have - do not repress them, as they will just manifest as ill health. If you feel stressed this year (and you may if you keep your feelings inside), you need to take steps to reduce it and prevent it from happening in the future. Severe and especially ongoing stress is bad for the health and it can exacerbate any health conditions you may have. Have a regular massage, partake in exercise, socialise more and find healthy outlets to release the stress before it manifest in ill health. If you need to be more expressive about your feelings, then learn how to do so in an assertive way. As the old adage states - better out than in!
If there are aggressive people in your circle of friends, you may need to take time out from them, as their negative energy may not be helpful for you at this time. You may be able to handle less of them in your life. Be respectful about why you have chosen to keep your distance; treat them as you would want to be treated. You will realise that the most likely reason for their aggressiveness is an underlying unhappiness. If, on the other hand, it is you that is aggressive, you may find that others distance themselves a little from you. You need to take care to release the negative emotions so that you can be more at peace with yourself and be calmer. You will learn more about human nature this year.
Whatever you do this year, whatever you feel, whatever happens, just take it easy and do not push yourself in any way. You will not find any benefit if you do.
Love life
Single: You may find it a little frustrating that love is not arriving on your doorstep quickly enough for your liking. Take heart, because despite your impatience, you will have opportunities to find someone special, just be honest with your feelings so that you are getting the kind of relationship you want and not one which you do not want. Really listen to other people when they tell you who they are and what they want and save yourself any heartache by rejecting any possible suitors that cannot possibly give you want you want.
Partnered: You and your partner will find the most intimacy and deep love when you are working together to make a goal or dream a reality. This will bring you closer together because you are striving for a goal or dream that is an entwined reality for you both, one which you have in common and once you reach it, expect more depth of feeling for one another as you celebrate your success. You have an opportunity to really be honest with your partner and engage in deep conversations about your dreams and who you are. This will also bring you closer.
Career
The attention to detail is very relevant in your career - it has major implications in your work. If you do not check all aspects of your work, to the finer details, you could end up looking very unprofessional and extremely sloppy, to the point that your superiors may think that your work ethic is lacking. That type of perception will not be very favourable in regards to your work (and especially promotional) prospects.
Money
You will need to keep a tight rein on your money this year and monitor where it is being outlaid - yes, every single cent! Make a budget and try to stick to it - it will help you understand what you do with the money you earn and help to make you more budget-conscious.
Number 3
Those born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th
In general
Time to get what you want, in this wonderfully simple and direct year. This year things will go a lot more smoothly and you will be able to focus on yourself and what you need for your own happiness and joy and then manifest it in your life. Just make sure that whatever feelings of sadness that may be lingering in your soul are taken care of, so that you can go on to create your own happiness. Do not take so personally all the horrible things that are going on in the world - you are not responsible for them. You can donate money to charity, protest at rallies or write letters/emails to your state senator so that you can feel that you are doing something positive and proactive, but do not let it get you down. Your soul is much too beautiful to not let it shine as brightly as it should.
This year you may be in the limelight in some way - whether actually in front of an audience, or in some way shinning at work, in your community or family and friends. Whatever the reasons for it is, you should be gracious and confident in your acceptance of the rewards and compliments you receive. Let go of your fears and tell yourself that you deserve it.
This is the year to learn to be courageous and let go of any fears that are holding you back in any way. Do not let the past prevent you from living wholly in the present and the future, just know that you have the courage to do anything, despite any fears you may be feeling. You just need to accept the fear and move past it.
You may feel disheartened at time, especially if you allow fear to prevent you from getting what you want. Take care not to get down if any hurdles present themselves to you this year. You should just go forth despite any obstacles, by working out how to get around the obstacles to your destination point, your goal. You have ample strength to do this, you just need to believe in yourself. In any case, if you experience any negative behaviour from other people, try to work out why they are behaving in this manner because then you will be able to understand how to manage them.
You will find that you will not be able to pretend to be anything other than who you truly are this year. You can forget about trying to keep up an appearance just to hold onto any false pride, because this year the facade will crumble away as people confront you with the truth. This may be a rude awakening for some 3 people, but it needs to happen. You cannot be anything other than truthful this year. If you try, the results will not be pleasant for you, in an otherwise lovely and peaceful year. Remember, you do not need to have other people's approval to be happy with yourself.
You may also realise this year that you have outgrown certain people and relationships, that maybe you do not have much in common any more and try as you may, to bring your relationship to the same level as before, it will not work. You will have to reconcile yourself to the facts - some friends will no longer be in your social circle any more. The same holds true if you try to be a matchmaker and bring other people together - this is not the year to try it.
This year will provide many opportunities - you need to keep your mind clear to take advantage of them and make them work for you.
Love life
Single: While you may find possible suitors this year, you are not inclined to become too attached to anyone this year, in which your need to be independent becomes more pronounced. Try to ensure that you are honest about your needs in any relationship, letting the other person know exactly what you are prepared to give them emotionally and of your time and energy.
Partnered: You will also be feeling the need for independence, but not necessarily to live independently and separately from your partner. While some independence may be scary for some people, it doesn't need to be. This just means that you will be taking some classes or going out with your friends more or joining a social group, to give you some independence and confidence (of which the latter, you may be lacking a little anyway).
Career
Try not to get involved in other people's dramas at work because you will only get burnt if you do and also try to not get involved in any politics at work as it will not turn out well for you either. Let other people take care of the dramas and politics at work. Just study people and try to understand them a little, to work out their psyche so that you can get along well with them and have a harmonious work environment.
Money
If you are provided with any lucrative and worthwhile financial investments, this may be the time to go forward with the investment, but just make sure you trust your gut feelings, which will lead you to the right answer. You could make some extra money out of sensible financial investments.
Number 4
Those born on the 4rd, 13th, 22nd, 31st
In general
Welcome to a hard-working year, where you will need to use all your tenacity, perseverance and make even more of an effort to pursue all your goals. Whatever you want, will only come with a lot of hard work, but you are up to the task and will definitely appreciate not only the rewards of your labour, but the journey that takes you there too. If ever you feel that journey becomes harder or confusing this year, take it as a sign that you have veered off the correct path and re-group to determine how best to proceed.
This is a practical year, which may be a little difficult at times (especially compared to last year), but as long as you accept the hard work that it will entail. While you are used to hard work, it may get a little more rougher this year than you are used to. You will need to accept this and learn from it so that you can evolve.
This year is serious and needs you to be serious about your life. It will work best to your advantage if you work towards a goal this year - whether it be saving money for a particular purchase, or moving house, or even starting a new business, is irrelevant, it is the striving, the planning and the methodical strategising that is necessary and required in order to reach your goal. You will be able to use your sense of purpose (reaching your goal) to enable you to put all plans in motion to achieve it. The only caution for the year is to accept and plan around any restrictions or limitations that will inevitably occur. This will provide you with the best means to reach your goal and to succeed.
This year you are allowed to break free from any situation, person, or circumstance that is restricting you in any way. If you blame other people (or even life itself) for the situation you are in, this will keep you in victim mode and you will not grow as a person. The trick this year is to take responsibility for yourself and your actions and realise that you are free to extract yourself from any situation that restricts or limits you in any way. It is up to you to make the change to free yourself. You can move past anything that is holding you back and let yourself be free. Interestingly, most of the limitations in your life are of your own making, so you are the one who has the key to your prison cell and you can release yourself from your restrictions. You have the power and the will to be able to do it, so why not change your life and be happy about where you are at?
There is no point in trying to be emotionally in denial this year, as you will be forced, by circumstances to face how you feel and express it. The energy of this year will not allow you to continue to deny your feelings any longer and the sooner you realise this, the easier life will be for you this coming year.
Be aware that progress will be slow this year.
Love life
Single: This year is full of obstacles, delays and hurdles, so you may have a bumpy ride with any new person you meet. Try to temper any frustrations with the knowledge that it is not really the person who is purposely creating them, rather the universe trying to show you that you may not be totally right for each other. If you do meet someone and your relationship moves more smoothly, take this as a very positive sign for your possible future together.
Partnered: You may feel very frustrated with your partner and try to force any issues you have so that they are out in the open. While being open and working though any issues is a great idea, forcing them out in the open and trying to resolve them in this manner is a bad idea. You will need to trust that the right moment will arise when you can be as open and honest as you need to be, which will lead to a better relationship which is more loving and intimate on all levels.
Career
As with other parts of your life, your career may be quite challenging at times this year. This is not a year to have frivolous conversations, too many personal calls or to spend too much time on emails of a personal nature or surfing the web. You will need to work extra hard to achieve any progress at work this year and there may be many stumbling blocks, hurdles and other blockages that may threaten your success. You will just need to find a way around them, that is a viable solution for all parties in any projects you are involved in. This is not the best year to try to shine at work, you will have your hands full with the resolutions to the many obstacles that you will need to implement all year long.
Money
You must take a good look at your finances and assets to ensure that they are in a viable position to get you through this year's many bumps. The months of April and May will bring your monetary situation to your immediate attention. If you start early enough in the year, you may be able to prevent any problematic times.
You should be saving more money this year to create a bigger nest egg for any potential business investments (either in yourself or others), which will occur next year (2009).
Number 5
Those born on the 5th, 14th, 23rd
In general
This year's theme is freedom: the attaining and loss of it. You will need to work out how you can have freedom in all areas of your life, in a way that does not compromise you, especially when you may be urged to curb your freedom by some quarters.
This year you have the potential for travel, learning about other cultures and opening up your eyes and your life to different aspects of life, from all around the world.
This year is exciting and totally unpredictable, which suits you just fine! You will be exposed to many, new and different experiences, that will set your soul on fire. You will be loving the vibrant energy that this year will bring. Make sure you do not flit on the surface, as normal, but try to seek a deeper meaning from that which you experience this year, so that you can enrich your life on a deeper level too. Your enriched experiences will allow you to develop a new understanding about life.
The energy of this year will enable you to better understand the events of the past few years, which in turn will give you a better perspective on the potential of the next few years. You will know that you have the ability to to make a complete change of direction in your life if you really need to (if the path you are on does not seem like it will take you to your path as best as possible) and feel safe in the knowledge that you will not be delayed by this change and in fact it could bring you closer to what you want more quickly than you realise.
You need to recognise any potential opportunities for what they are this year, so that you can quickly take advantage of them and turn them into something that pays off for you. You will be presented with a lot of interesting opportunities, just take care to only take advantage of those that are not going to cost something you hold dear later on. Be selective in what you choose to go ahead with. In addition to this, it will simply not be possible to take advantage of every single opportunity that presents itself to you this year - you wont have enough time to get through them all and if you try, you will only scatter your energy in to many directions and find it all too confusing. Not a good way to exert your energy.
You will need to be very flexible this year, probably more flexible than you normally are, when life presents you with sudden, unexpected or totally unforeseen circumstances on whatever path you are taking. Just take it all in your stride and move on as best as you know how. The new path could just be more interesting than the one you were on anyway and it could lead you to your goals more quickly too! Let any mistakes you make be the basis of your new life experience.
The energy of this year is very fast-paced, so take care not to burn yourself out with too much socialising together with you workload. Make sure do not over-indulge in anything - sex, food, alcohol, drugs, gambling. While you may perceive that this indulgence is freedom, it is not, you are showing an addiction to a vice that has control of you. This year's theme of freedom suggests that if you have any addictions, this is the time to release their hold on you.
Love life
Single: So many potential romances, so little time! Life is going to present you with a smorgasbord of people who will ignite your interest (and you theirs). Again, while this may be an ego boost of the highest order, you are cautioned against taking up everyone that shows interest in you. At the best, you could end up double-booking yourself on dates with two people in one night and scattering your energies trying to have too much fun. At the worst, you could end up hurting someone (or more than one person) who may have strong feelings for you that you are not prepared to return. Tread a little more wisely with your choices.
Partnered: Your partner may feel a little overwhelmed if they are the shy type, because you will be socialising on an extreme level this year. You may get rather flirty when you are at parties or other social events and this could cause some jealousy and frustration for your partner. Just be more aware of their feelings, otherwise the arguments you have may put a dampener on this year's gaiety.
Career
Some great opportunities are bound to come your way this year, with so many unexpected events that happen to you, in a positive manner, your exposure to your superiors will be in a beneficial manner. Take those moments to really shine - show them how valuable an employee you are and how valuable you are to the company. There are opportunities for career advancement that will come through very suddenly and for many, totally unexpectedly.
Money
Your financial situation will be more fortunate than ever. You will find that no matter how much money you spend this year, it will be replaced as soon as you spend it (almost magically). While you will have no issues with money, it would still be prudent to put some money aside and curb some of your spendthrift ways - at the least, it will put your partner's mind at ease (for those with partners).
Number 6
Those born on the 6th, 15th, 24th
In general
This is a year or balance and looking for balance and harmony in every area of your life. With this comes a sense of duty and obligation. You will have many responsibilities this year, but you will come to learn that you need to relinquish some of them, as they are not your duty any longer (and they probably never were - you are not responsible for other people's happiness, they are). You will that just as you relinquish some responsibilities, other new ones will present themselves to you, so the net effect is one of equilibrium - you will have the same levels of responsibilities, only now the types of responsibility will have changed, will have shifted to different (and new) areas.
Whatever your responsibilities are this year, your main and most important obligation is to yourself. Do not stop looking after your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs. Take really good care of yourself, as you are so important to so many people, who need you, but most of all, you need to be strong and resilient for yourself. This will help you become more secure in yourself and your abilities and provide you with so much more confidence. A trait that is well worth your time to develop.
This year, matters of the heart - whether they are love from a romantic partner, from family and friends or even for healing your heart of any pain and sorrow - are another prime focus for you. Make love the motivation for everything you do this year and the results will be phenomenal. Leave guilt and fear by the wayside, as these negative emotions will make you a slave to the approval and acceptance of other people and will cause you many problems. You have to live your life for yourself and know that you are totally good enough. Be strong and engage with your heart. Love and appreciate yourself more so that you can love and appreciate others too.
Make no promises that you cannot keep, no matter how well-intentioned you are. Take time to be realistic and work out what is feasible for you to do and what you simply cannot take on. Learn to say no, politely and while some people may not like this assertive you, they will soon get used to it.
You will not be able to control or manipulate people or situations this year. Any time that you do, you will find that events go awry and you are left struggling on how to deal with the outcome. This is a time to let go. Let events unfold as they will, try not to control every aspect and just wait for the end result, which shall be more positive than you expect. Let others take control of their respective roles in any event and let go of your strong need to control and manipulate. You will be truly surprised at the results.
Another focus for the year is health and healing, both your own and others too. You have the capacity to ensure your health is at an optimum and should advise others on their health if you have some knowledge about it. Healing can only come about when you understand what is hurting you and how the pain came about. You are so good at understanding other people's pain and knowing what they need to heal, but you balk at healing yourself. This year it is time to face up to that which is still hurting you and do whatever you can to start healing it. One of the best ways is through guided imagery, either through a CD by a healing expert or by visiting a healer. In order to let the light inside you shine brightly you need to heal and you should do this at the start of the year, so that the rest of the year goes much more smoothly and easily.
Your charm and sensitivity is a beacon for your friends and family, who will flock to you to help them with their problems. You can help people, but learn when to say no and do not let (or encourage) anyone to become too dependent on you for solving all their problems. You do not have enough time or energy to do this, plus it is not a healthy behaviour for you or the other person to become too dependent on one another.
You will have a lot more magnetism this year and will be able to attract anything you want into your life. Just make sure you focus on positive items because if you focus on anything negative, that is exactly what you will attract into your life. So whatever you want - better health, a new partner, more love, a new job, more money - think about it and try to imagine how it can come into your life. Imagine it in great detail and ask the universe to bring it to you. Ask and you shall receive this year.
Love life
Single: This year will present quite a few opportunities to find a special person, you just need to let go of your fears of abandonment and loosen the control. Unless you do this, people will sense your desperation and will simply walk away from you. You are such a loving, wonderful person - let that shine through and forget about your fears, you will attract much better people to your sphere when you let go. The benefits of letting go are that you can find someone totally wonderful and may even find your soul mate who could propose marriage. Yes, this is the year for marriages, engagements and children.
Partnered: Take care not to suffocate your partner with your neediness, so much so that you try to control and manipulate them on every level. You also need to let go of your fears of being abandoned, cheated on and used. You cannot control other people's behaviour, you will only alienate them and make them run away, thus further perpetuating your fears they will leave you! If you work on healing this aspect of yourself, you will feel strong, alive and wonderful and your partner wont be able to help but to want to be around you. It will be their choice to want to be with you and that is the best gift anyone can give you. Love yourself, let go of your need to control and manipulate and you will increase the love bond and intimacy between yourself and your partner. Enjoy the love fest, which could produce children (either your first or more).
Career
You could be interested in furthering your career with some work-related educational endeavours. If there are any courses, short or long, that you wish to attend, ask your manager how you can achieve this. You will enjoy being in class and furthering your education, interacting with other people and engaging in stimulating conversation.
If on the other hand, your job has become boring, or burdensome, it could be a time to look for a different job, just make sure you know what you want and manifest it into your life.
Money
You have lucky money energy this year. You can attract a lot of money to you this year.
Number 7
Those born on the 7th, 16th, 25th
In general
This is a year of privacy, solitude and spending time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This year you will find that you need to be alone, to figure out all the answers to the questions that are going through your head. Solitude is good for the introspection you seem to want to go through this year, but take care not to get so introspective and take on too much solitude that you feel down and lonely from being alone so much. Take up some of the social offers you will undoubtedly receive this year, do not give into the temptation to stay alone for too long, as this could put a major dampener on your mood.
The energy of the 1 year for you will be to expose you to the parts of your life that you are not entirely satisfied with. You will be forced to come face to face with those elements of your life that are not working out as well as you know they could be and that which you have conveniently been ignoring, hoping that they magically change all by themselves. Nothing is going to change unless you take steps to initiate change. The discomfort you feel when you are exposed to those areas in your life that are not making you happy needs to be the catalyst that urges you to take a good long look at your life, at all the aspects that could be improved, think about what action you should take to make make the changes necessary for your own personal happiness. The energy of this year is to let you know that you should not get disheartened by any negative situations, but instead take it as an opportunity to determine what you need to do to make it better. That is where the reflection comes in this year - you need the time to think about how you are going to initiate the changes and when is the right time to actually make the changes.
The good thing about this year, is that you will soon realise that simply trudging on in life, leaving the path of your life to the whims of coincidence and other people, is not right for you (or anyone else for that matter). You will soon realise that in order to have the life you really want, you need to act to make the changes necessary to get it.
While you need to make the changes, this year is a planning and thinking year. Even if you feel immensely inspired to rush out and make some immediate changes after a particularly amazing epiphany or after a truly great opportunity, you need to hold yourself back and wait. The epiphany will become even clearer as the year progresses, as will the actions you need to take and you are not yet ready for any opportunities you might receive. Anything you do this year will be far too premature to produce any amazing results, so wait.
You must also ensure that if your introspection brings out some strong emotions you do not deny them, but do so in a safe and healthy way. It is really important to feel your feelings, because this is the only way you will understand yourself better and know what you need to make you happy. If you deny your feelings, you are bound to make the same mistakes again and again.
While you need time to be alone, you must also connect with your friends, family and loved ones too. You need to communicate with people, so that you do not feel completely isolated and lonely. Even though you need your space right now, it does not mean you can simply be incommunicado from everyone in you life. It will do you a world of good to get a different perspective in any case.
Love life
Single: There will be a few opportunities to meet new romantic interests this year, but they will not be many, due to you isolating yourself from the world and not getting out much. You could meet someone nice at a special event or one of the special interest groups you belong to. Just make sure you let them know, honestly and kindly, where you are emotionally at this time, so they can understand what to expect from being with you.
Partnered: Take care not to isolate yourself too much from your partner, as this could result in separation. It may be difficult for your partner to get through to you this year, even threats of separation may not be enough for some 7's to get you back to the reality of your relationship. Take care to ensure there is always love and intimacy between yourself and your partner, to ensure your love continues to grow.
Career
You need to give in to your earnestness to succeed and do not feel any guilt that you may have a better career than some of your friends or loved ones. If you can release the guilt you feel, you could reach such heights of success, that you have only dreamed of.
Since you will be feeling more introspective this year and will unlikely be feeling as social as normal, take this as a good opportunity to work even harder in your job. Your hard work will pay off when you superiors notice how diligent and earnest you are and you could receive a promotion, mid to later in the year.
Money
Again, do not let guilt stop you from making those well-deserved purchases you want to have. It is your right to purchase whatever you want, no matter how expensive it is, especially as you can easily afford it right now. Just be mindful of not rubbing your delight at your new additions in your less financially well-off friends faces and everyone will win. Of course your friends will know you have more money they them, but they will not begrudge you what you can afford, even if they cannot. Allow them to rejoice in your happiness.

In general
This is a year to get exactly what you want. Just ensure that what you want is realistic and within reach and that you know what you want, otherwise you may not get it.
This year you start to realise that you need to increase your own personal empowerment, as you start to understand how little power or control anyone has in the world, except over themselves. You are the only thing you can control in this life and if you want to realise your dreams you need to make sure you are as empowered as you can be to enable that to occur. You need to develop your self-awareness this year, to help you on your path to discovering what you want so you can effectively get it.
The goals you reach this year, are only the beginning of everything that you can achieve over the next few years. Trust what your gut instinct and your heart's desire is telling you about where to go next and what choices you need to take up. You will know what feels right and that will be the correct path or opportunity to take up.
All areas of your life are up for review this year, including: geographical location, relationship, finances, status and health. Take this year as an opportunity to find out what your goal is in any of these areas and take action to reach it. The beneficial energy of this year is such that you will find a lot of support (both emotional and material/financial) from your friends and loved ones. It will feel so validating to have the support of those who love you.
While you may get what you want this year, there may be times when it feels very calculating and some people may appear to be criticising you or working against you. You will have to work even harder to overcome some people's objections and negativity, to prove how wrong they are, not just to them, but also to yourself. With all this hard work you will be doing, make sure you take time out, take breaks and just breath, to ensure you do not get over-worked and burned out. You do not want to become an empty shell with no soul once you reach you goals, thus ensuring you wont enjoy the spoils of your labour. Take it easier once in a while and make time for relaxing and enjoying yourself.
The major theme of this year is: power. You will be exposed to other people's power as well as the increase of your own. You will really see clearly how the abuse of power only results in unhappiness and bitterness, with the ultimate downfall as the end result. When you meet people who inspire you with their constructive and positive use of their power, take notes and learn from them, so you can emulate their use of their power.
Love life
Single: You will notice that as your power, wealth and status increases this year, there will be a flurry of interest from potential suitors. It is up to you to sort through them and determine who is honest and loyal and who just wants to be with you for your money and status. If you want to have a fling or two, you should be honest about it, so that the other person knows that this is all you want and will not be hurt when the affair ultimately ends. You could also meet someone who is your equal on all levels this year. If you do meet such a person, don't be afraid to get serious with them if your compatibility is high. Their support could take you even further in life.
Partnered: While your partner will be happy with the extra income you bring in this year, as well as the extra status and the social invitations that come along with this, they may not be so happy with the extra time you spend at the office. Make sure you take time out to show your partner how much you love and appreciate them, so that when you do have to work longer hours, you can do so with your partner's blessings. Also be careful about any power struggles in your relationship, especially if your partner is also a high-flying professional, you may have some struggles to overcome when you both insist that your career or job is more important. You need to realise (and convince your partner of the same) that you both have important jobs, but your relationships is more important and should have higher priority for you both. This line of thinking will have you both back to being loving again.
Career
Expect career advancement this year. As long as you know where you want to be in your career and as long as it is attainable, you will get it. Make sure that you are ready for the career highlights that will abound this year, brush up on your public speaking and communication skills especially as they will hold you in good stead this year. Just make sure that you understand, to the most minute detail, all information that you receive, as it could help you even further with your career. Conversely, if you take the wrong message from this information, it could damage your career, so listen carefully.
Money
Expect your finances to increase this year, as you put into place all those plans to make yourself more money. In addition to this, any investments that you have, will likely flourish and grow quite exponentially this year.
This is a good year to maximise your material assets and personal wealth by investing in wise ventures and making sure your money is working at the maximum for you. Ensure that you receive the best advice from the most reliable sources possible - taking advice from an unreliable person will cost you money.

In general
Congratulations. This year is the end of a 9-year cycle. This is a year for you to complete any unfinished business and resolving any outstanding issues. This is to ensure that as you start you new cycle, you are not left with any unfinished business to sort through.
This year there are many opportunities that will come you way that you need to realise are much better than the ones that have just closed. You need to accept the past and present so that you can move to the wonderful future that is just at your feet, waiting to be discovered. If there are any aspects of yourself or you life that you know are holding you back or limiting you in some way, this is the time to release them.
This year expect a major transformation in all areas of your life, even though you may not see the changes straight away, rest assured that they are happening. By the end of the year you will be a completely different person than you were at the start of the year, in many positive ways.
If you feel at all numb or stagnant at any time this year, take it as a sign that you need to release your emotions that you are holding inside. It is not healthy to repress feelings and keep them locked away as they will just weigh you down. All emotions need to be released so that you can be cleansed of them. Unless you release your emotions and learn from the experience, the same patterns will continue to happen in your life. You need to understand the positive expression of your emotions is both healing and validating and it is the only way you can move on from the past and ensure that your emotional needs are being respected in the present and future.
This is a year of endings and finalisation of many parts of your life, especially any part that was holding you back in anyway or was not to you advantage or benefit. You need to release your hold on the past and know that it has served its purpose and now it is time to move on to a better life, full of promise and wonderment. The reason you need to let go of the past is because the new and wonderful that is yours, cannot proceed until the past has been dealt with and is now completely finished.
Allow old memories to come to you, don't try to repress them, especially if they were once very painful, think about what you learnt about the experience as this is how you can get over the past and not allow it to affect you any longer. Do not be afraid of your past, or your past feelings as they no longer have any power over you. Really. If you find that you feel a bit down due to this perusal of your past feelings, take this as a sign that you need to work on them some more so that you can finally be free of their hold on you. Why would you want to be held emotionally hostage to the past and especially your feelings of the past? Of course, once you release these feelings in a healthy and positive way, you will find a whole new world of opportunity opening up for you. Welcome it with wide open arms.
Love life
Single: You will that people will be very attracted to you and will want to be around you this year. Many people will be asking you out on dates. You will feel very popular and much adored. Have fun.
Partnered: A loving time for you and your partner where you will reach higher levels of intimacy and connection. Just be sure not to let any past hurts or disappointments (with either your current partner or past ones) taint you with any bitter feelings if similar conditions present themselves to you. Have love for yourself.
Career
Your career is on an upward swing. You can now consolidate all the hard work you put in last year and watch your career star rise and rise. You will be offered promotions (most likely more than one) and you will also have the opportunity to find a new and even more higher powered (or at least more financially rewarding) job.
Money
Finances are set to improve, especially from around May and onwards. Expect to find new opportunities to increase your monetary and material assets this year.
