Age 1, 49, 97
EGO MATERIALISM
Cycle: energy/consolidation/change
Phase: ego
Phase Type: energy/consolidation/change
Year: material
Year Type: consolidation
Expression: immature possession/proud possession/philosophical possession
Astrology: At 1 you're Aries-Taurus and energizing; at 49 you're Leo-Taurus and consolidating; at 97 you're Sagittarius-Taurus and changing.
At 1, 49 and 97 your ego needs are possessive, you want tangible rewards of your worthiness and will fight like a demon if your possessions are removed or damaged. What you have -- your possessions -- are almost an extension of your ego this year. You can't bear to see others have something that you don't have, or something better than what you have.
Having experienced an awakening of our ego potential last year, we typically have an uphill battle this year trying to maintain whatever power we once possessed. You may think you are wonderful, and you truly are, but others are going to be very quick to cut you down to size -- and will do so through what you see as being yours.
You don't have the incredible ego drive that you had last year. You are like the one-year old child, who has taken the focus away from himself to attaching his ego to 'things' and like that child you will wail indignantly when a toy is taken from you. People will continue to impose their will upon you this year, and if you are not careful they will divest you of ego rewards that you may have worked very hard to attain.
It's a year when you expect a pay rise or a company car or a gold medal just for being who you are. It is all very well being a king or a queen in your own mind, but the rest of the world may not agree that you are worthy of their respect, admiration, praise and remuneration.
Your ego may extend beyond the magnificence of your being to the things you possess. You demand unstinting praise for the clever things you do, and the beautiful things you own, and you will crush anyone who dares stand between your ego and your reward. It is not a reward they are taking away from you. It is part of you. It represents an extension of your ego.
The sad thing about the year of ego materialism is that although your ego development is big enough, your material development is not. You will spend this year desperately trying to maintain power in the face of dwindling rewards. Typically, this is the year when 49-year-olds will buy a red automobile or some other flashy toy to prove to the world how magnificent they are, or they will strive for a gold medal in sport or academic achievement, or they will simply yearn for any sort of tangible reward of their existence - even if it's just the acknowledgement of being given a job.
The lesson to be learned from the year of ego materialism is that you don't need a gold medal or any other tangible reward in order to gain respect or prove your worth. You are who you are, now what you have.
