Root number 9

For root number 9, energetic and hard-working, the year is a fortunate one; both people and luck will be on your side. You have closed a full nine-year cycle and come back round to the first house, which belongs to the Sun. The Sun does not leave anyone standing at the back. Whatever you begin this year in your own name and on your own decision will take root deeply, and you will be living off that root for the next eight years. A door opens within the first four months. Let that window pass in hesitation and you will wait a long time for the next one.

Work & study

New responsibility, a promotion, or something entirely your own. Your name will be spoken separately this year, and for anyone who has been stuck in one place for years, a transfer or a change is strongly indicated.

Money

A new source of income opens up, but it comes from your own initiative and not from anyone's favour. Before committing to a large investment, write the figures down and look at them once more.

Love & family

A new chapter begins. For the unmarried there are introductions and proposals; in older relationships the coldness that had settled in finally lifts.

Health

Your energy holds. Keep an eye on the eyes, blood pressure and heart, because in a Sun year the workload crosses its limits before you notice.
