Take a deep breath, because this 9 year cycle is now coming to a close. Those in a Year 9 may feel compelled to spend equal amounts of time reflecting back and planning forward. I often think of these 12 months as a period of decluttering and deep cleaning. This could be quite literal if you’ve been hanging onto objects that have run their course, but more likely it will entail cleaning up the greater parts of life i.e mindsets, relationships, patterns, and ways of being in the world.

Because your next personal year will be a Year 1, you must be absolutely critical in what you allow to come forward. That toxic relationship? Say goodbye. The habits or mentalities that are bringing you down? Make peace and part ways. I recognize that the ridding of things is not as simple as a wave and a walk-in another direction. This process of removal will take getting really honest, being really clear, and making some potentially difficult decisions.
