3 Wood People are in their 2 Earth Year
Your creative nature may find 2021 quite frustrating until you realise it’s quite alright to do one thing at a time and see it through to the end.

You will attract allies, finances, help and advice, and clear out all the clutter, all that paperwork, old clothes, even the old commitments that have blocked up your creativity.

It is time to learn how to work with other people on an equal footing, to develop a more grounded practical approach to work and relationships, where you feel part of a team and feel you can rely upon them. You have the opportunity to learn how to focus on a single project through a step by step process, to ground your creativity and turn your spacious and chaotic energy into something that will benefit others.

Otherwise, your confidence and self-esteem will begin to suffer. Simple Zen meditation will help you to ground your creative nature, as well as chanting mantras and using sound and purification practices.
Success in small things is your motto for this year, as you get to grips with developing plans and working hard towards your next goal.

4 Wood People are in their 3 Wood Year
After the slow-moving quality of the last two years the brash new and exciting world of a 3 Wood Year will make for a welcome shake-up in your life, as you experience new ideas, enthusiasm and an unstructured, unfamiliar, approach to life. Whatever you do in 2021 you will not be able to resist this opportunity to bring some totally new energy into your life.

This strength can be developed through a Zen meditation approach to grounding your creativity, bringing under control your tendency to quickly move on from experience to experience without truly tasting the benefits of what is right in front of you.
You are also going to need all of your awareness and judgement to keep track of when you need to take a break, otherwise, the risk of burnout is all too possible if you run wildly after every new idea. Make sure you take planned holidays and work off any stress with exercise. Meditation involving movement such as Tai Chi will help, and to take your spacious nature to a deeper spiritual level you should seek out a teacher to help you cultivate your inner strength and develop your magnetizing qualities.

5 Earth People are in their 4 Wood Year
2021 brings maturity to your approach to life, where you start to see the results of your hard work and you feel more at ease with yourself. There will be a big increase in your sense of curiosity about the world and you will feel the need to communicate more and to help others achieve their goals. You will also experience a new found intimacy to your interactions with people and an enhanced sense of humour and charm.
It is the nature of a 4 Wood year to change direction before completing the task at hand, to feel the need to explore life without making any commitment to a single goal. Likewise in the same way that a gentle breeze can suddenly switch to a blustery wind, events also have the potential to change in unpredictable ways, triggering your 5 Earth tendency to lose focus and judgment of what is good for you. So in order to capitalise on the changes and developments that have taken place these last three years, it is crucial that you do not head off in a completely new direction. Otherwise, you will lose out on all the benefits that the long term consistent growth of your current projects will have for you.

6 Metal People are in their 5 Earth Year
The course of 2021 depends a lot on the choices and judgements you have made in the past, and on how well you have managed your life over the last nine years.

You will also be glad to hear that you are now in a position to consolidate the plans you have been working on these last few years and that major opportunities are coming your way. But this is not a year for action or making radical lifestyle changes and if the opportunity to travel for more than two weeks does arise resist the urge.
As 6 Metal people have strong psychic abilities, intuitive awareness and a sense of moral and social responsibility, they can become too ungrounded and lose connection to the world around them. While the other extreme is for you to become too dogmatic, too material and to see everything in black and white. That balance will now be challenged as you learn how to be in the world but not of it. But you also now have the chance to find your center and a renewed life that balances intuition with a connection with society, allowing you to work towards both material and spiritual goals.
A part of this process of renewal is that much of the stress you experience this year will be due to unsupportive situations and people leaving your life. Let them go and instead be mindful and reflective as you make plans for the next nine years. Focus on deciding on what you want to do next and as any new project you take on will be at the center of your life for many years to come, make sure you get good advice before taking any big decision
You will find being in nature and appreciating the connectedness of life will help you develop the resilience you now need, especially as you will be feeling uncomfortable with emotional upheavals. Do your best not to wriggle out of uncomfortable situations and face your responsibilities, otherwise, you will miss out on the chance to remake your life.
7 Metal people are in their 6 Earth Year
After the unpredictable chaos of last year, in 2021 you get to see the results of your plans and hard work over the last few years come to fruition. This could be in the form of a pay rise, a raise in status or taking on more responsibility. Whatever you have been working on to improve your life will now manifest, but rather than allowing a new found pride to go to your head, try to remain modest about these achievements, even though the signs will be all around you.
There will also be a tendency for you to become more judgemental, whereas you would be better off spending your time helping others to achieve their potential. And as you will find it easier to be organised this year and to manage other people, you will also be called upon to broaden your experience of what it means to look after the interests of others. This means stepping up and taking responsibility, judging fairly and impartially the situations that come to merit your attention.
Avoid the temptation to see things in black and white and instead remain flexible in your relations with others. This means giving people what they really want rather than you giving them what you think they want. Especially as 7 Metal people tend to be attracted to temporary surface appearances, taking for granted their material comfort, instead of looking beneath addictive appearances to discover their hidden depths.
You can do this by making some quiet personal time and space for yourself, where you can settle your mind and through breathing and healing meditations, calm your body and mind. Then your life experiences will be seen more and more for what they really are: as a source of joy that was previously hidden and a deeper meaning to life revealed.
As this year's events will feel somewhat preordained and you will find there is less creativity in your life, do your best to look after yourself and keep up a good social life, while maintaining family ties and close relationships with loved ones.
8 Earth people are in their 7 Metal Year
While the constraints of last year now fall away and are now replaced by a sense of ease, you get to reflect on the hard work you have put in over the years.

As 8 Earth people need to work on understanding the nature of the world around them and how it works, your stillness and consistency can now create a peaceful and deep spiritual life which will lighten your load, as you learn to engage in natural processes rather than individual details. Creating a clean orderly environment and a shrine to focus your respect for earthly forces will help in this process.
As the benefits of your past efforts now bring their reward, you will find your creativity naturally expressing itself in your life, so there is no need to start new projects as you can rely on your past experience to stand you in good stead. To make the most of this year it is advisable to try and find a balance between the more indulgent aspect of a 7 Metal Year and the need to maintain some sobriety, otherwise, you might appear to some as being spoiled by your good luck and not as caring as you can be about people.
9 Fire People are in their 8 Earth Year
The revolutionary nature of an 8 Earth Year can bring about a move to a new home, changing jobs, a new relationship and other major changes in lifestyle, and as long as you remain focused on your goals they will come about in their own time. This year it may at times feel as though your light has been hidden at the back of a cave but you now are in the process of refueling that light with its source material: the essential knowledge that comes from knowing what is real about your life.
From within this a cave you now have the chance to look within and discover previously uncharted aspects of yourself. You can discover the knowledge you need to complete your goals and develop the ability to pass that onto others. As your 9 Fire nature can be a light both for yourself and others, this invaluable knowledge will also power your discriminating awareness which enables you to distinguish what is true and not true for you.
During this year you may feel at times as though nothing at all is happening in your life. But the change you desire is now dependent on you looking within and being realistic about where you are. So take advantage of the time that is presented to you and resist the urge to get pushy, as that will only cause resentment and antagonism in others. Instead, you can avoid getting caught up in your emotions by allowing your mind to settle in meditation.
As you will be working hard this year do your best to remain active in your social life, as there will be a tendency this year for you to withdraw to the cave and isolate yourself. Be clear in your communication and try not to take what others say to heart, as you now appear to them to be more solid and resilient than you really are.
