A lot of people couldn’t wait for 2009 to be over. It was a challenging year. The Chinese hailed it the year of the Ox; a laborer that pulls the cart, tills the field. Predominantly, the year was about work and the workplace, where perseverance, humility and tolerance were themes. You would have been dragging your feet, frustrated at the pace of things. You could have been returning to work after time off, reviewing your methods, or searching for your purpose. Many people were laid off or at a turning point in their careers.

In numerology, 2009 adds up to 11. It is considered a master number and can not be reduced. You may have come up against a wall, been in a non-negotiable situation, or hit bottom. A common theme had to do with compromise and control in 2009. Were you master or servant that year? Two ones, side by side as they are in the number 11, symbolically could be translated to mean double trouble, or passing through a gate or threshold. You may have entered a new partnership.

Two and nine are oddly matched. They don’t really have a lot in common, mathematically. If they were a couple they’d separate. And even as they are arranged in the number 2009, they look like two people dining at opposite ends of a very long table. Nine is the last of the single digits. It represents being at the peak, a pinnacle, the end of the line.

Positive change will come in 2010. It will not come delivered on a silver patter though- you’ll have to hunt a bit for it. The psychic forecast, business-wise, is for slow and steady growth, especially in Asia. It is the year of the tiger, a whole different animal compared to the ox. If you start the year off licking your wounds, within no time you’ll be on the prowl. Tiger usually takes it easy and simply lazes about. But if she’s hungry, she hunts. And if provoked, will attack. Keep a respectful distance from your enemies. Accept dynamics you can’t avoid, work with what you’ve got, take risks and keep going for your goals!

2010 reduces to the number 3, which represents fertility, stability and nurtured growth. It also symbolizes abundance and creativity. And in the tarot, it is the Archetypal Mother. 2010, to most folks, sounds like a futuristic science fiction film. Somewhere towards the end of 2010, reflect on your life and you will notice that the future you dreamed of has, in some aspect, arrived.
