2013, You’d Best Shape UP!

So far, 2013 is not impressing me. Granted, The DJ Incident™ was not the most glamourous way to start the year, but we’re on day three and I am not a happy camper. My shoulder is aching and the rest of my joints are crunchy. I’m not sleeping well. Ugh.

BUT I did come across an interesting site today via one of my Twitter buddies (of course): founderdating.com. It’s a sort of think tank for entrepreneurial types. I’m trying to apply, but I can’t see a way around their stupid LinkedIn login. I deleted my Linked In account due to constant spam. I don’t like Linked In and never have. Nonetheless, I’ve sent an email asking if I can apply without Linked In, so we’ll see.

2013 is a 6 year, so for me, that makes it an 8. This is what I found about that:
Personal Year 8. . . . Attainment and capital gains

This is a number 8 personal year for you. This is your power year, a period when you can make important strides in you life. Coming after a very slow and introspective period (the personal year 7), you may start feeling some stirrings of ambitions. This is a year of big decisions and major achievements. Activity is your keynote now, and you will find yourself very much involved and occupied. Opportunities for advancement and recognition for past and current work is likely to come about during this year. You have things going for you so long as you take advantage and act. It is easy for you to branch out and expand in a businesslike manner. If you are at all inclined, this is the time to exude self-confidence and authority, because others will tend to be receptive to your leadership and control. Your power and status potential is at a peak of the nine years personal epicycle that concludes at the end of the next year.”

Sounds pretty good for me. (These are from astrology-numerology.com, btw.)

For Nick, he’s got a not so great for finances/business number 3 year:
Personal Year 3. . . .Social expansion & creative successes

This is a number 3 personal year. This is a social, happy year, and it generally tends to exude bright and cheerful vibrations. This is a year when you will want to check up on old friends and broaden your social circle to include some new ones. Romance and love affairs may bloom. You are inclined to live life to its fullest now, even if you have to pay the consequences later on. You are likely to be more sociable and the bridle of responsibility will seem to be loosened a bit. You are inclined to scatter your energies and undertake too many things at the same time. You can safely take some time off to enjoy yourself, but resist the temptation to completely give in to having a good time; keep your goals in mind. A 3 personal year is a good time to expand personal creative talents, particularly those related to the arts and verbal skills. Recognition in this regard is likely this year.

While this can be a happy year as far as personal expression and activities are concerned, it may be a disastrous year on the business scene. A generally frivolous attitude in that environment can cause rash decisions and impractical, unfinished schemes. This is not likely to be a very good year for your finances, and it is fortunate that the next year is designed to compensate these effects.”

I’m hoping that our typical opposites balancing act will still be in effect. Otherwise, this whole year could really SUCK. I am choosing to read his as getting a great new job that recognises his skills at managing people and his creativity. :)

So, whatever you have in store 2013, we’re as ready as we’ll ever be. ::cracks neck:: Bring it.
