In this 9 year you will have to finish up and leave behind as many as possible of the areas that have acted as obstacles to you.  Many of your affairs will be brought to a head.  Let go of the negative.  Those relationships you have that no longer have meaning should be let go.  Some experiences or people may go out of your life and leave a deep feeling of loss.  In reality this is a reward because it opens the way for new opportunities and new interests in life.  If something you are trying to hold onto asks for freedom or are showing signs of ending, don't fight it, because if you try to hold onto it, it may get away anyway, instead just work to reach a constructive conclusion.  Be tolerant, compassionate and forgiving and you may find this to be a better year than you had first thought.
          Take with you only those things that show promise of positive development.  Think about the areas that you can develop for the new 1 year coming up in 2000.  Don't, however, start anything new this year, especially something major like marriage or a new business.  This is because activities started in a 9 Personal Year often end prematurely.  The tide of life is out right now.  Although beginnings may be made during the closing months of this year but only after you start feeling the vibration of the incoming 1 year.
          Be prepared to experience a lot of drama and emotional upsets.  Try to express love and compassion, though you may get little back for your efforts.  You may have some artistic or creative endeavors this year.  Check on health matters when necessary this year because you have a lot to do next year and you will need to be healthy and strong for next year.  This year important changes are likely.  Changes may be initiated by you or by someone else's efforts.
          This Summer you may be feeling alone, held back and unable to keep things moving forward.  Don't push it, give life a chance to help you out.  This year in general you may have found yourself growing away from some of your former friends, associates and activities.  You may unconsciously be turning your thoughts and attention to things that have not been a part of your life before.  Try to make these interests of a universal nature, avoid being small, personal or selfish, for this will only lead to disappointment in the end.
          Love interests with hold your attention, others if not your own.  You may find you are involved in these without your desire.  There is something for you to do to help others straighten out their affairs because this is a year of impersonal thought and feeling.  What you do for others, your reward is given.
          Keep busy and accept opportunities that will come to you.  You may not see your way clearly until September and you will need to make changes and adjustments that this closing force will bring to you.  Try not to overwork.  July is a great time to take a vacation.  In the Fall things will be going slowly, you may find yourself marking time.  You will have mutual assistance, if you are cooperative and generous in your thoughts and feelings.
         REMEMBER:  Tolerance, compassion and forgiveness will be rewarded with love, sympathy, understanding and the fulfillment of your plans.  Pray that you have the power to let go of those chains that bind you.
