How We Can Find If Two Persons Are Twin Flames

by Christos Archos, M.Sc

This article by Christos Archos has been split into three parts.  


Part 1: Twin Flames Part 2: What are the Twin Flames? Part 3: Identifying Twin Flames


An astrologer usually has a difficulty time answering if two persons are each others twin flame because the basic instruments are not helpful. Longitudanal charts as we know them are not very helpful if we don’t know some other important techniques.

First of all, we have to understand that according to what we’ve discussed, a twin flame is the other half of the soul when is splits entering the human kingdom through geminian influences. This means our soul splits into opposites and we have to find our other half.

In astrology, we are full of opposites; the chart itself is built through opposites. Aries and Libra, Taurus and Scorpio, Gemini and Sagittarius, Cancer and Capricorn, Leo and Aquarius, Virgo and Pisces. All of these are polarities that work among themselves. It is very important when we try to find our twin soul to share opposing planets with the other person. Astrologers and people usually try to avoid opposition because medieval thought used to believe it was a bad aspect. In fact, oppositions between two charts may create some conflicts, but they are very important when you want to have a relationship that really contributes to individuals.

Planets in opposition between two charts are very important when we try to trigger the twin flame relationship. We have to be very careful because we don’t just want the planets to be in opposition but also in contra-parallel. Only when two planets are in opposition and in contra-parallel can we talk about the possibility of a twin flame relationship.

The first criterion is opposition. The other criterion is a very important concept we call “Antiscia.” The degree when the planet has equal day-time is called antiscia. For example the antiscia of a planet in 21o of Taurus is 09o of Leo.

But according to theory twin flames are not based on similarity, so antiscia is not in reality the real point we look for because a person that has a lot of planets in our antiscia points has similarities with us, not oppositions.

The point that is in opposition with Antiscia is Contra-Antiscia. So a person with his planet in 21o Taurus has his contra-antiscia point in 9o of Aquarius. So when a person has a lot of planets in our contra-antiscia points this means that he is probably a twin flame for us.
At this point, we have to combine both techniques. We have to see if any planets are in opposition and contra-parallel at the same time but also to find if there are any connections with each other’s contra-antiscia points.

Of course there are other secondary things an astrologer should look at. First of all we have to look at whether or not the person of interest has planets in the water houses (fourth, eighth and twelth). Although the fourth house sometimes can give us information about whether or not the person found his “father” or “mother” and not his twin flame, for this reason we have to be careful with the interpretation. The reverse is also very important. If we have planets in the other person’s water houses then we increase the probability of a twin flame relationship.

Secondly we have to see if there are planets of the person who form aspects with our retrograde planets, especially Venus. A lot of people with Venus retrograde have high probability to meet their twin flame. Retrograde planets may sometimes be identified with karma but in fact if the theory of twin flames exists, then every time there is an incarnation, every time our soul happens to split our karma partners may be our twin flame.

The last thing we have to look at is on the Composite chart (the chart where we combine the two persons’ natal charts) is if our twelth and first houses have lots of planets. The most important thing is if there is a spark. As we said before there has to be a spark, a light between two people, a flame of passion, love and understanding that they have never felt before. Combining the emotions of the couple and the astrological influences we can easily understand if that is a twin flame relationship or not.

While twin flame is the triumph of uniqueness with another person, having a relationship with any other person on this planet is also very fascinating and generates a big and long path of wisdom and happiness.  Don’t forget that the most important thing is not if the relationship we have is a twin flame but if it has the flame to make us different and better. Love is the ultimate weapon of spiritual alchemists, through love you can change a simple relationship to a golden union, the sacred union.

Till then let love and your inner flame drive you to happiness.

Life Purpose Tarot Spread for Earth Angels

angel messenger with trumpet

What divine message are you here to amplify with your presence?

Dear Earth Angel, You came here to earth with a fully formed mission and a blueprint for your soul and body to help you accomplish this mission. It is a mission that is aligned with your soul essence and personality, as well as the Life Path you are on. It is completely unique to you and your particular gifts.
Just like the angels, you are a messenger of light and love… but in your case, it involves the use of the physical body in some way (or you wouldn’t need to incarnate!). In the Tarot, the suit of Pentacles represent your physical reality.
The Tarot can help you gain insight to what message you are here to amplify with your presence – how to bring Heaven down to Earth, in other words – as well as how to accomplish this. Knowledge about your mission has literally been coded into your blueprint with numbers and I have created a Tarot spread to help you explore two of those numbers.
For this Tarot Spread, we will focus on the two main aspects of your Birth Numerology, the date and the full name given at birth. The former renders your Life Path and the latter your Destiny/Expression number.
To find out which Life Path you are on in this incarnation, simply add the numbers of your date of birth together and reduce to a single digit. For the name (Destiny/Expression number), each letter is represented by a number value. There are online calculators you can use if you prefer. HERE is one for your Life Path and HERE is another for your name.
For the purpose of this reading we will focus only on the opportunities these numbers brings, in order to help you fulfill your potential. Think about the most positive traits of the corresponding Major – this is what you are here to express. Challenges to this expression will be represented by other cards.
Your Life Path number is like a sign post pointing you in the most fulfilling direction in terms of Life Purpose and your Destiny/Expression number shows you what skill set you were born into this life with (carried forward from past lives). You have the power to use the energy carried by these two numbers in harmony to amplify divine Light and Love on earth in a unique way and in a minute you will find out how…
For the purpose of this reading, we cover numbers 1-9, 11 and 22 and these are also the corresponding cards that will apply (22=The Fool). So go ahead and make the calculations and then find the two Major Arcana cards concerned. For some of you it will be the same card twice and then you can mark the other spot with a crystal in the spread or, if you have more than one deck, you can find the same Major in another Tarot deck.
This is the layout:

SAMPLE READING WITH THE ARCHANGEL POWER TAROT

1. Life Path: 3 The Empress / Archangel Gabriel – Creativity, fun, sensuality (Venus)
2. Expression/Destiny: 9 The Hermit / Epiphany / Archangel Raziel – Contemplation, teaching (Virgo)
3. Action Advice: Eight of Ariel (Pentacles) – Study and hone your skills. Manifest with more attention to detail.
4.  Support: Ten of Michael (Swords) – The harsher lessons are finally behind you so that you can focus on your mission.
5. Mission (read together with cards 1 and 2): 1 The Magician / Archangel Raziel (Mercury) – Communicate spiritual wisdom and teach people how to create a spiritual reality on earth.
6. Talent to develop: Queen of Gabriel / Aries – leadership, initiative, charisma
7. Avoid this: The World / Archangel Michael – anything that limits your freedom, self-limiting beliefs

Blessed Be!

How to Calculate Your Personality, Soul and Shadow Cards

There are a couple of different methods for calculating your Tarot birth cards (personality, soul and shadow) but I’ll describe the method Mary K Greer uses, and that you can read more in-depth about in the superb book Tarot for your Self.*
Let’s first take a look at you calculate your personality and soul cards. According to Mary K Greer you add the numbers of your birth date like this:
Example: 13th of April, 1975
13
4
+1975
1992
You then add each digit in the sum: 1+9+9+2=21, keeping any number from 1-22.
In this example, 21, The World, is your personality card. As this is a double digit number, you can reduce it further to a single digit number by adding 2+1=3. 3, The Empress, is your soul card.
If the sum is greater than 22, you reduce the digits until you have a smaller number. If the sum then becomes a single digit number, the personality card and the soul card are one and the same.
In one instance, a person can have more than two personality cards, and this happens when the sum is 19. Cards 1, 10 and 19 then all become both personality and soul cards.
Number 22 corresponds to 0, the Fool, with number 4, the Emperor as the soul card. According to Mary K Greer, these two cards also work more as a unit rather than as a separate soul and personality cards.
In the table below, you will find some key words for each numerological constellation, and also see which card is your Hidden Factor or Shadow Card. The term “Shadow” here is used in the Jungian sense to refer to those aspects of ourselves that we’d rather keep in the subconscious and therefore tend to project onto others.
Personality & Soul Card Patterns Hidden Factor,
Teacher/Shadow
Constellation Principle
1-1 10-1
19-10-1
10 + 19 19

(Fool, Death, Emperor)
Life Force and Realisation of Power
5-5 14-5 14 * Hierophant
(Temperance, Hierophant)
Teaching and Learning
6-6 15-6 15 * Lovers
(Devil, Lovers)
Relatedness and Choice
7-7 16-7 16 * Chariot
(Tower, Chariot)
Mastery through Change
8-8 17-8 17 * Strength
(Star, Strength)
Courage and Self-Esteem
9-9 18-9 18* Hermit
(Moon, Hermit)
Introspection and Personal Integrity
The Personality Card tells you how you tend to respond to others based on past experience, as well as how others perceive you (roughly corresponding to your Zodiac Rising Sign). The Soul Card describes your inner drive and motivation, roughly corresponding to the Soul urge in a Numerology reading.
Do a reading with your Birth cards to find out what lessons they are currently bringing into your life.
Calculate your Tarot Year card.
Blessings,
Lisa

How to Calculate Your Tarot Year Card

Using the same method as you did for your Personality Card, you add the number of the day and the month you were born to the year you want to check your card for.


Example: You were born on the 3rd of April, and want to know your card for 2007
3
4
+2007
2014
You then add each digit in the sum: 2+0+1+4=7, keeping any number from 1-22, with the Fool having the assigned numerlogical value of 22 in any Tarot Numerology operations.
In this example, 7, The Chariot, is your Year Card.

In Tarot for Your Self, there are graphs that you can copy and use to show your year cards from age 0-21. There’s also a table that makes it quick and easy to figure out the card for each year.
It is interesting looking at the graph and trying to figure out what main events may have been influenced by the energies of the Year Cards. It also adds a lot of depth doing this in combination with an astrology reading.

Let me know how you are getting on in the comments below if you already use this method, or are beginning to experiment with it. How does it match or contradict your astrological birth chart? I look forward to hearing from you!

Check the table below for astrological correspondences:

0 The Fool (22) The Element of Air (Uranus)
1 The Magician Mercury
2 The High Priestess The Moon
3 The Empress Venus
4 The Emperor Aries
5 The Hierophant Taurus
6 The Lovers Gemini
7 The Chariot Cancer
8 Strength Leo
9 The Hermit Virgo
10 The Wheel of Fortune Jupiter
11 Justice Libra
12 The Hanged Man The Element of Water (Neptune)
13 Death Scorpio
14 Temperance Sagittarius
15 The Devil Capricorn
16 The Tower Mars
17 The Star Aquarius
18 The Moon Pisces
19 The Sun The Sun
20 Judgment The Element of Fire (Pluto)
21 The World The Element of Earth (Saturn)

Are You Twin Flame Material?

Twin Flame love symbol image

There is a lot of confusion about what a Twin Flame really is and also about the true purpose of a Twin Flame union on earth. So let me begin by clarifying some of the truths and myths about Twin Flames:

A Twin Flame is…

  • literally your other half
  • someone who will unite with you on earth when you are both ready to form a divine vessel for grace and unconditional love to flow out into the world
  • always with you in spirit, even when not physically close
  • someone who embodies the divine feminine/masculine in a way that is complementary to you
A Twin Flame is not…
  • a romantic partner in the traditional, third dimensional sense
  • something that we all get to experience physically in our current incarnation
  • necessarily the same age
  • someone who walks up to you out of the blue and tells you they are your Twin Flame (inner knowing, not words!)
The most common reason for forming Twin Flame relationships here on earth is because old souls are ready to come together to serve in this capacity. These two souls will have a contract to meet up.
However, free will still comes into play and the readiness of each Flame will be tested. The Flame who has spent more time in meditation and done more work in terms of personal/spiritual development will be quicker to remember.
It can be really painful to meet up with your twin flame before they are ready; It is one of the biggest tests of our trust in the ultimate goodness of the Divine that we can encounter here on earth. Please do not despair if this has happened to you. All will be well.
It could be said that Twin Flame love is the most elevated form of divine service, as it becomes physical evidence of unconditional love and divine union which transcends polarity.
Again, the whole purpose of the Twin Flame relationship is service in the form of full embodiment of the I AM presence here on earth.
This does not mean that you and your Flame are some kind of “spiritual upper class,” it simply means that you have reached this stage of your journey by the grace of God.
Some of the signs that you are ready for Twin Flame love are:
  • a deep, abiding desire to be a reflection of God’s love and light in the world
  • an inner knowing that your Twin Flame is also on the earth plane
  • a deep, abiding trust in your own inner knowing
  • an awareness that you are here to usher in fifth dimensional living
  • a knowing since childhood that there is only One soul that you can unite with in perfection (not to be confused with the Hollywood ideal of the perfect romance!)
  • trust that all is well and will be well, always
I have created a Tarot spread  for Lightworkers who want to explore their own readiness for a Twin Flame relationship.
twin-flame-tarot-spread
1. Your Readiness to Serve in Twin Flame Capacity
2. Soul’s Purpose Check-Up (you)
3. Soul’s Purpose Check-Up (your Twin Flame)
4. Karmic issue/challenge (you)
5. Karmic issue/challenge (your Twin Flame)
6. How you are already connected (tune into your inner knowing and allow the card image to take you on a journey until you feel a ‘click’ and recognise the connection)
7. Divine guidance about the synchronicities that will bring you together (timing may be indicated here if you are indeed about to be united)
8. Outcome – Shows the most likely outcome in terms of serving together with your Twin Flame in this incarnation.
Use a Tarot deck dedicated to lightwork for this reading, such as the Angel Tarot Cards by Doreen Virtue or the Sirian Starseed Tarot by Patricia Cori.

Astrology Spread

This is a very simple spread to use.  You can put one card in each of the positions around the circle and it gives you an overview of the next 12 months. The first month is the current month or if you are very close to the end of the month, month one can be the following month.
You can then place a card in the centre of the circle, which sets the tone for the whole of the year. 
You can go around again, adding a new card to each of the months.
As you have 78 cards in a tarot deck, you can go around 6 complete times (using 72 of the cards).
You can add a 13th card to the other one in the centre of the circle with each round of cards if you wish. In that way, you will use up all of the cards in the deck.
You will have 6 cards for each month or for each house and that will give you quite a lot of information.
Place the cards side by side, going outwards from each card, as you go around each time, so you will end up with 6 cards beside each other for each month. You can read each month from right to left going outwards.
You can go around the circle as few or as many times as you wish. It is entirely up to you and there is no right or wrong. Use as many cards as you feel comfortable with.
This is a good spread if a person would like a general overview of their life.  You can then use other spreads to add more detail in particular areas or to ask more detailed questions about certain areas of your life.
12 months astrology spread with the rider wiate tarot deck and amanda goldston

This spread can also be used to represent the 12 houses of a person’s life in Astrology. This is useful to gain more information into a particular area. Again you can add more cards to each house for more detail.

The 12 houses in Astrology are as follows;

1) Personality, environment, how others see the querant*, the Self (Aries).

2) Money, possessions, earning power and financial values (Taurus).
3) Travel and Communication, day to day activities (Gemini).
4)  Home Life, siblings, family, parents (Cancer).

5) Pleasure, romance, love affairs, holidays, self expression, creativity (Leo).

6) Work and Health (emotional and physical) (Virgo).
7) Partnerships (professional and personal) and Marriage, legal matters (Libra).
8) Inheritance, death, sex, other people’s money, endings and beginnings (Scorpio).
9) Philosophy, education, dreams, travel and long distance journeys (Sagittarius).
10)  Career, profession, fame, reputation (Capricorn).
11)  Friends, organisations, hopes and wishes (Aquarius).
12) Burdens, restrictions, secret fears, enemies, dangers, subconscious (Pisces).
* The Querant is the person seeking a reading.

If, as you are going around, you get Major Arcana Cards, these represent important influences in your life. These may be people or they may be beliefs or character traits that are impacting you in a positive way or a challenging way. Major Arcana cards can also be very significant events or situations in your life.
If you draw a lot of people cards from either the Major Arcana or the Court Cards of the Minor Arcana, they may be certain personalities or types of people who are having a big impact on your life, either in that month (if you are doing a 12 month spread) or in that area of your life (if you are using the Astrology Houses).
If the personalities of the people don't mean anything to you or you can't relate to those type of people, than the court cards can also represent aspects of your own personality that may be useful to you, (if the cards are upright) and you need to develop more of, or may be hindering to you (if the cards are reversed) and you need to be careful that those aspects do not get in your way.

Combination of the two types of Astrology Spread

You can, if you wish, combine both uses of the spread. It can be very useful to lay the cards on the first time round as an overall 12 month spread and then on the second and subsequent times, use the houses.
This is very good for answering questions such as "What will my finances be like over the next 12 months?", you can look at the cards against the 2nd house or "What will my health be like over the next 12 months?" you can look at the cards you have down in the 6th house.
This can be very general for each area of your life and you may then want to do other spreads with more specific questions to look at each area in more detail.
However you use the spread, it is important to decide in advance what the positrons are going to mean for you. When you do that, make your intentions clear to your cards and you will find that the cards will fall correctly for you.
Once you decide what the positions are going to mean for you, stick with that. Don't change your mind part way through the reading.



The Horoscope Spread

This article was written by Llewellyn

The horoscope spread is a favorite among astrologers. Because the horoscope is a mandala symbolizing the entire life of the individual, the horoscope spread is excellent for a general reading. Starting with the first house of the horoscope, lay the cards in a circle, placing one card in each of the twelve houses. Many readers place a final thirteenth card in the center of the wheel as an overall indicator or summation of the entire spread. On the other hand, some readers prefer to start with a central card signifying the core question and then lay out twelve cards in the twelve houses of the horoscope surrounding the central card.
Here is a schematic diagram of the horoscope spread:

horoscopespread
 
Each card symbolizes matters specific to the house in which it lies. The following list briefly describes the matters each house signifies:

 
House Significance
First House Physical body, Self, sense of identity, personal needs, appearance, health, vitality, the start of an enterprise, mother’s father, father’s mother.
Second HouseMoney, income, finances, wealth, values, possessions, movable goods, resources.

12 Houses Zodiac Tarot Spread

The 12 Houses Zodiac Tarot Spread also works really well together with your Tarot Year Card. Once you know your Tarot card for the Year ahead, you can either look for numerologically significant cards in your reading, or even place the year card in the centre of the Wheel. If you choose to do the latter, the 13th card you pull will represent the main challenge to the energy of your Year card. You can also choose to pull an Oracle card as your theme card, either on its own or read in conjunction with your theme card for the year.
If you are not familiar with the Signs/Houses of the Zodiac, the learning curve may be a bit steep for this Tarot spread but it will be well worth your while to persevere.
Before we delve into positional meanings for each of the 13 cards, I would like to make sure we proceed with a holistic view of the Zodiac Wheel. It is greater than the sum of its parts and there are many aspects and groupings to consider…
For instance, the angular houses (Cardinal signs) – first, fourth, seventh and 10th – contain the most active energy. The succedent houses (Fixed signs) – second, fifth, eighth and 11th – show you how security is challenged or enhanced. The cadent houses (Mutable signs) – third, sixth, ninth and 12th – have a focus on learning experiences.
Then we have the elemental groupings. In the Fire houses (1,5,9) you can discern clues about your identity and zest for/attitude toward life. In the Earth houses (2,6,10) you find out about your physicality, material needs/values, and abundance. In the Air houses (3,7,11) you learn about sharing of concepts and relating. In the Water houses (4,8,12), aka ‘the psychic trinity’ you learn about matters of the soul, emotional yearnings/obsessions and the past.
12 Houses Zodiac Tarot Spread

12 Houses Zodiac Tarot Spread – Positional Meanings

1 – First House (Aries): This card tells you how others will perceive you and what persona you project into the world in the year ahead. Confidence levels are reflected here, as are vitality levels. The corresponding Archangel is Camael.
2 – Second House (Taurus): Here you see what you will value and what makes you feel secure (or how you are challenged in feeling secure) in the next 12 months. Financial windfalls can show here too. The corresponding Archangel is Anael.
3 – Third House (Gemini): A mentally active house, this shows what my may think about, explore and communicate about with others in the year ahead. It can also show relationships with siblings and short journeys. The corresponding Archangel is Raphael.
4 – Fourth House (Cancer): This card shows home/family life for the year ahead. A potential house move would show here. The corresponding Archangel is Gabriel.
5 – Fifth House (Leo): This house deals with playfulness, hobbies, celebrations and our ability/willingness to take centre stage. Creative pursuits are shown here, as are possible pregnancies or relationships with children. The corresponding Archangel is Michael.
6 – Sixth House (Virgo): Here you can find out about your physical health and wellbeing, as well as work in the sense of the daily grind (career issues belong more in the 10th house). Exercise, nutrition and any suggestions about self-care would show in this card. The corresponding Archangel is Raphael.
7 – Seventh House (Libra): Your closest relationships, both loving and ones with enemies. Possible new love, engagement and marriage would show here. The corresponding Archangel is Anael.
8 – Eighth House (Scorpio): Endings, death, taxes and other people’s money show in this house. On a soul level, it can show deep emotional transformation and spiritually, you could see an initiation in this house. The corresponding Archangel is Azrael.
9 – Ninth House (Sagittarius): This card will reveal if you are destined for any form long distance travel, higher learning or getting published. Your beliefs in general are also reflected here. The corresponding Archangel is Sachiel.
10 – 10th House (Capricorn): Your status/reputation in society and any major career/life purpose changes will show in this card. This is where we can really make a difference in the lives of others with the work we do (if we have the required clarity of vision that can be gained in the preceding house). The corresponding Archangel is Cassiel.
11 – 11th House (Aquarius): This is the house of friendships, large groups of people and any humanitarian pursuits. Interaction with groups of people (or challenge to the same) is shown here. The corresponding Archangel is Uriel.
12 – 12th House (Pisces): Here lurk all the things we’d rather sweep under the carpet… the stuff that comes out in dreams and nightmares. Possible addictions or other self-destructive behaviour can be seen here. This house traditionally relates to institutions like prisons, insane asylums and hospitals. However, on a more positive note, massive leaps in psychic ability would typically show here too. The corresponding Archangel is Asariel.
13. Theme card: Shows the main lesson in the year ahead.
You can either pull a 13th Tarot card off the top of the deck you are working with for the 12 houses, or you can choose a separate deck (allowing for repetition). If two of the same cards show, you need to pay extra attention to the house where the theme card is mirrored in the year ahead. As mentioned above, you may also choose to place your Tarot Year Card (from a separate deck, allowing for repetition) in this position, and either leave it as is or pull one more card for the main challenge.
If you do NOT place your year card in the centre of the spread, any house where it shows up is also heavily emphasised. A third possibility is to choose an oracle card from your favourite Angel deck for a blessing for the year ahead. I know this softer approach will suit many of my HSP readers and I’m seriously thinking of doing just this as I have a XIII Death personal year in 2016.
Read all other cards in light of the theme card. Really take your time with this spread and go over the two different groupings mentioned above as well. There is SO much information to be had from a spread like this, and if you do it properly, you will have some massively helpful heads up on the highlighted areas.
Blessed Be!

Your Personal Year Number

personal year number

2017 holds the vibration of new beginnings and fresh starts. In numerology, 2017 is a number 1 year and the start of a new 9 year cycle.

As we enter the start of this new cycle, we are all going to be given opportunities to plant seeds and manifest what energies we want to play and work with. This is a magical time and also a powerful time that will allow us to set the stage of what we want to manifest.

2017 is the perfect time to make goals, set new boundaries and to do things differently. It is also the time to embrace the new and to finally do away with the old, outdated beliefs and attitudes that we have been processing.

Doing things differently will be a theme for this year and perhaps you will be guided to approach your life from a whole new perspective. 2017 will also encourage us to start new things and perhaps pick up new hobbies or find new skills that we didn’t know we had.

If you have wanted to try something, experiment with something or test out something, 2017 would also be the perfect energy to do this under. This is the perfect time to dream big and to really start laying down a foundation and groundwork for what you want.

Even though 2017 holds this bigger picture number 1 energy, on a personal level we are all going through our own soul journeys and energy.

According to numerology, you can determine your personal year number and discover what energy you will be working with in 2017 on an individual level.

Working out Your Personal Year Number

Birthdate Example: December 29
Reduce the numbers down to single digits by adding the numbers together
12 (month) becomes: 1+2=3
29 (day) becomes: 2+9=11 and 1+1=2
Then add these two numbers together to get:
3+2=5
You then want to add this number to 1 (as 2017 is a number 1 year)
5+1=6
(Reduce your number down if you get double digits)
This gives you a personal number of 6
Basically, you are breaking down your month and day of birth into single digits and then adding it to 1 in order to get your personal number for 2017.

Got your personal year number for 2017? Here is what it means-

Personal Year Number 1 
This is going to be a big year of new beginnings for you! All of the energy of “new beginnings” is going to be amplified for you and you are definitely going to be called to reinvent your life in some way. You may start a new job, move or do something new and exciting that you have always wanted to do.

This is definitely going to be a year of self discovery, so embrace yourself and don’t be afraid to travel deeper into your soul in order to work out who you really are and what your purpose is.
New beginnings can take some time to get used to, but know that you are just at the start of your journey. There are going to be a lot of opportunities unfolding for you this year, so be open to receiving all of your many blessings.

Personal Year Number 2
The time has come for you to think about laying some solid foundations and boundaries. You have worked very hard and this year, life is going to be opening a lot of doors for you.

This is going to be a year of abundance for you, not just financially but in all areas of your life. Whatever you are attracting into your life may be amplified, so really work on lifting your vibration and creating a positive inner and outer world.

You may also be drawn to create boundaries with people this year and to clear unnecessary stress and clutter from your life. It is also going to be important for you to stand you ground and to do things that you truly believe in.

Personal Year Number 3
This is a year of self expression for you. The time has come for you to express yourself and your truth authentically. The time has come for you to stand up about how you really feel and learn how to assert yourself in a conscious way.

The Universe may also present opportunities for you this year to work on your feelings of self esteem. If you have low self esteem or low self confidence, this would be the year to take proactive steps towards loving yourself and raising your vibration.

Writing, journalling and singing are all going to be great practices for you this year and may help to fuel your creative fire.

Personal Year Number 4
 
Family is going to be a theme for you this year. Perhaps you will be starting your own family or your feelings of wanting to be around family may grow stronger. Family is whatever it means to you, so you may also be reworking your idea about family this year as well.

Your home and feelings of being “home” may also arise for you this year, and you may feel drawn to move or create a new space for yourself.

Surrounding your home with loving, positive vibes maybe important to you this year and you may even feel drawn to radically change your decor in order to reflect your inner state.

This is also going to be a year of self reflection for you. Perhaps you may enjoy spending time at home, or perhaps you will feel drawn to taking a quieter and more relaxed approach to your life.

Personal Year Number 5
This year is going to be filled with creative energy and you are going to be feeling driven to go after your dreams and goals. Whatever you have been working on in the last few years may suddenly melt away or rise up to be everything you have every dreamed of.

Goals and dreams may be up for evaluation or you may even find that you need to readdress or rework how you have been approaching your life.

If you are single, this would also be a year of fun loving romance! Definitely circulate and get yourself out there because you are likely to meet someone that opens your heart.

Personal Year Number 6
This is a year of health and well being for you. If you have neglected your physical body or diet this year is going to be the time to get back on track. Essentially, this is a year for you to really practice learning how to love yourself and how to put yourself before others.

Picking up a new workout regime or trying a new diet that resonates with your soul may be beneficial for you this year. You may also have to practice setting healthy boundaries and learning how to say No to things that drain your energy.

Getting adequate sleep is also going to be important for you this year as is adopting a good spiritual hygiene routine. Protecting your energy, your mind and your body are going to be focuses for you this year.

Personal Year Number 7
This is a powerful year for you and it is likely you may experience many life changes. You may get married, start a new job, buy a house or perhaps take on a new level of responsibility in your life. In many ways, this is a year for you to step up and take more control back in your life in whatever way feels right to you.

This is also a year of great spiritual development and awakening. If you have wanted to delve into your spiritual side or learn more about healing, energy or all things metaphysical, this would be the perfect year to start.

You may also feel drawn to expand your social circle or network with a new crowd of people. In terms of your career, networking may bring many benefits.

Personal Year Number 8 
This is a year of transformation for you. You will feel called to change and almost reinvent yourself from the inside out. Perhaps old emotions will bubble to the surface in order to be cleared and cleansed. You may also feel called to look at things differently or to view your life through a different lens.

Through this transformative process, your energy will be extremely magnetic and sensitive. You may start feeling energies and your ability to manifest will also be high. This is in fact a very lucky time for you, if you can learn how to master your energy and the energy around you.
Your highest dreams and wishes may be changing this year, but you also have the creative power to manifest whatever it is that you desire to help you forward.

Personal Year Number 9
Nine is a powerful number that holds the vibration of endings. You may have already felt this energy brewing in 2016, and now you are going to be able to take it to a deeper level. While there will be opportunities for new beginnings as well, this year is going to be about clearing the old for the new.
Keeping an open mind will help and will guide you to understanding what needs to be released and what needs to stay in order to reach your highest potential.

You may also feel the desire to travel this year, or to discover yourself on a deeper level through learning, reading or taking a new class.

This is going to be a powerful year for you, but all of your hard work is definitely going to pay off and will help you shift into bigger, brighter and better things.
