Personal Year 1: Fresh Beginnings

A Personal Year 1 opens a new nine-year cycle, and symbolically it is a season for planting seeds. You may feel a pull to start something, change direction or reclaim a part of yourself that was set aside during the previous chapter. Energy for independent action often runs higher, and decisions made now can feel like first steps on a longer road.

Things tend to go well when you act on your own initiative rather than waiting for ideal conditions. What needs tending is impatience, along with a habit of going it alone when support would help. Not every seed will sprout quickly, and that is fine. One practical suggestion: write down three intentions for the cycle ahead and keep the page somewhere you will see it each month.
