Opportunities (First
two paragraphs)
This year always follows a year of high energy and change.
It is a time to realign, rebalance, reassess energy levels
and find a new order of give and take, input and output
in your life.
You are likely, as you move through this year, to find
yourself with a deep desire for more balance and harmony
in your life. It may be that the changes of the past
year have left you tired and in need of restoration of
your physical energy. It may be that there are things
in your home or office that need to be adjusted for optimal
functioning and support of your work and personal life.
It may be that there are fundamental adjustments needed
in significant relationships in order for them to reflect
the changes you have been through in recent times.

Challenges (First
three paragraphs)
Some people come into this year seriously depleted.
If you have neglected the feeding and support of your
own energy, you are likely to find yourself confronting
the consequences at this time. One of the gifts this
year offers is to illuminate for you where you are overextended.
If this is a relatively minor issue in your life, you
are still likely to find yourself awakening to areas
where more balance, or rebalancing is in order. Some
people get out of balance through too much analytical
thinking and not enough heart in their daily lives. Some
work too much and need to carve out regular time for
recreation and restoration. Some give too much to the
other people in their lives and neglect their own self-care.
Whatever the specifics of the challenges you face this
year, they are there as a gift, to illuminate and help
you bring to consciousness where greater harmony and
balance will support every aspect of your life.

Honest Assessment
You can get a jump-start on the opportunities and challenges
of this year by taking an honest assessment of where
you feel you stand relative to energy output/input. See
if you can get a clear sense of your level of energy
and fatigue so the balance, or lack thereof, can be something
you face squarely. The more clearly you can take a look
at your stress level, at how and where you may be overextended,
the more effectively you will be able to set about making
the necessary adjustments.
