Birthday Forecast

Sun conjunct Mercury

Think fast

Communication is about to become a major part of your life, in a very noticeable way. Who you are and how you think are one and the same, and will be for the entire year. From business affairs to matters of the heart, you'll know exactly what to say and when to say it. In fact, others may have a difficult time keeping up with you mentally -- but don't worry, they'll catch up eventually! Focus on being as clear as possible, and remember that there are other ways to communicate besides speaking. Writing a note to a special someone in your life is more than just romantic; it's an unexpected, tangible treat that will prove just how much you care. And you don't even have to 'say' a word!Writing, in general, is a great way to make the most of your year. If you ever wanted to be an author or journalist, this is your year to go for it. Keeping a diary or a scrapbook is another way to channel all your mental energy. You might consider joining a book club, as your critical faculties are highlighted. It's romantic if you're already part of a couple, and great way to meet someone new if you're single. Another great way to meet like-minded people is to take a class -- learn to speak Italian, and you just might find someone to travel with you to Italy!

Sun trine Jupiter

A year of optimism

What's better than optimism? Having your optimistic hopes and beliefs turn into reality. This will be an excellent year for your career, as everything you've been working on will finally reach the big payoff, and you'll receive the recognition you deserve for all your efforts. There's nothing like the power of positive thinking (and traditional good, hard work) to help bring about great results! You've also got a great opportunity on your hands to improve your love life. You're so generous and big-hearted that it will be hard for anyone to not fall for you, and that confidence of yours is equally sexy.In addition, you might want to take a look around at your life and try to determine if it's as absolutely great as it could be, or if there may be some things to improve. The timing couldn't be better for bringing about change than when you're in an idealistic frame of mind -- it makes letting go of the old or the negative so much easier. This is true for any aspect of your life. Meanwhile, if you're in the mood to expand your world, consider traveling. A far off place will add culture and knowledge -- as well as a bit of excitement -- to your own life. Your personal growth will inspire others.

Sun trine Saturn

Disciplined and dependable

You are what you do, and what you do is who you are. Your ego and your actions mesh exceptionally well. This will be an excellent year to take a close look at who you are and what you need to do to improve your life. You'll have all the discipline you need to do that job and do it well -- as well as whatever anyone else requests of you.So, it comes as no surprise that your job will go remarkably well for you. You can take on any project you're handed, and not only will the results be perfect, but you'll enjoy the work. You're decisive in your actions, and your grounded mentality will just add to your comfortable sense of responsibility. With such a strong focus on work, though, it may be surprising how important love is to you right now. The next 12 months will see you in a committed and dedicated frame of mind, and you'll be eager to take a more serious look at moving romance to the next level. In the midst of all of this, take some time to try to get to know yourself a bit better, too. You're on the track to self-discovery, and the timing is right for you to make some drastic changes -- if that's what you decide you want.

Sun trine Neptune

An emotional sponge

Is it possible to be too in touch with the people in your life (and in your friends' lives and on the news, etc.)? Actually, it is. Your intuition is so sharp that you'll be soaking up the emotions of others like a sponge. If this is simply a case of you responding to your lover's problem, that's fine. But when you start getting teary-eyed because the woman in the commercial doesn't like her razor, you'll know that you're feeling the side effects of this aspect.Not surprisingly, this year will be perfect for love, as everyone will be drawn to your practically psychic affections. Your abilities to see a person's inner beauty will also make you an attractive mate. So if you're already with someone, you'll find your love could blossom in the coming months. If you're single, you won't have any trouble catching the eye of whomever you are dreaming of.You may also notice that you're drawn to images of reality, such as photography, TV and movies. They make a lovely escape if your own world becomes too challenging. Don't forget to visit your imagination as well. Whatever you create now will be beautiful and perfect.

Sun sextile Pluto

A magnetic transformation

The dark side of your subconscious is normally found deep within your soul, but for the next year, the boundaries between your subconscious and conscious states will start to blur. Fortunately, you'll have such a good grasp on what's happening in your life that you'll be able to use this as an opportunity for positive transformation.You're perceptive, magnetic and mysterious, and others can't help but be drawn to you. Your relationships will be strong because of this, both romantically and in the office. In fact, most people you come across will see you as extremely powerful. In the bedroom, this will come out as an intense passion that could easily leave your partner hungry for more. While at work, your presence will be awe-inspiring, and with your drive and ambition, you'll have no trouble impressing your boss and other higher-ups. Your ability to cut to the core of a situation is strong now; don't underestimate your abilities, but also make sure you don't abuse this to take advantage of others. Your mind will be extremely creative, and all types of artistic outlets, from drawing to cooking, are strongly encouraged.

Sun opposite Uranus

The battle for freedom

A bitter battle between freedom and commitment is about to ensue -- if it hasn't already begun. Relationships could get especially troublesome and even at work you'll feel confined and restrained. As the year progresses, and you find yourself even more desirous of a 'free' life, consider your reactions carefully. There's a good chance that everything you're doing -- pushing people away, trying to escape from a current situation -- is really a defense mechanism.Freedom is a state of mind, and no one is completely free to do everything they want. It's all about give and take. What you need to do is figure out if someone or something is really taking too much from you, or if you're just making excuses to get away. Are you really trapped, or are you just bored? It's possible that you've let yourself become extremely picky and you're waiting for the perfect person or situation. Before you can come to any accurate conclusion, you're going to have to spend a lot of time getting to know yourself and understanding what it is you need from a relationship or career. That's going to have to happen before you can have success with either.

Mercury in Sagittarius

Journey of understanding

Yours is a journey of understanding. There is no map, and there is no destination. Yet you will continue on with your trip enjoying the opportunities for growth and learning that will be presented to you. You will have the ability to grasp lofty concepts and ideas, and you'll be fascinated by the history of ideas, beliefs and philosophies. It will be your intent to soak up as much information as you can these next 12 months in order to help put your own beliefs into context.Sharing your beliefs will also play a critical role in the year ahead. Explaining ideas to others around you will help you develop a deeper awareness of the world. Consider writing out and publishing your thoughts as another effort to help people (and yourself) come to terms with the many concepts floating through your head. Be sure you allow your thinking to remain flexible at all times, though, regardless of the direction your knowledge takes. Letting yourself get caught up in the fundamentals of one idea will be a waste of your mental capacities. If you get stuck, then move on to something else. There will always be time to come back later, if necessary.

Mercury retrograde

Mental Murphy's Law

No matter what your plans are, you can definitely plan on something going awry this year! Your mental style, all forms of communication, travel, and even your electronic gadgets have the potential to be more problematic than usual. Everything from learning a new language to buying a new computer will likely involve a series of unexpected obstacles you'll have to work around. Emails will get lost, meanings will be misconstrued, flights will be delayed; you can pretty much expect that nearly every aspect of your life, from romance to work, will be affected in some way by all these trials. Murphy's Laws were likely written for times like this. Basically, if something can go wrong it will. Remember, though, that careful planning, double checking, and vigilant attention will help you minimize most problems. These situations will be annoying nuisances, not life-changing upheavals. There will be times of frustration, and you may have to mop up some messes. On the bright side, you'll also find that whatever you have to deal with this year will actually help prepare you for future obstacles. This is also a good time to take up journal writing as you will be more introspective than usual.

Mercury conjunct Mars

Verbal sparring and witty repartee

Uh oh. Looks like your foot is making a beeline for your mouth. From now until your next birthday, you're going to have to work extra hard to keep both feet planted firmly where they belong. You've got something of an aggressive motor-mouth mentality that will help improve your persuasive reasoning, but it could also get you into some trouble if you're not careful.This astral climate encourages a 'speak first, think later' approach that's great for a quick and witty repartee, but it'll also bring out your argumentative side. You'll enjoy every minute of it -- you just need to make sure that the person on the receiving end of your verbal sparring is equally pleased. Remain polite at all times, regardless of the willpower that may require. You'll find that the calmer you are, the more persuasive your words, but if you let yourself get too abrasive, others will be easily turned off. Partake in word games like Scrabble from time to time in an effort to take some of the edge off. Your mind will be working in double time, so anything that requires you to focus and use that energy in a friendly manner is highly recommended.

Mercury trine Jupiter

It's not luck, it's talent

Sometimes you get lucky and you can see both the forest and the trees. Other times you get even luckier and you have entire years with this kind of clarity. This is one of those years, and if you use it to your advantage, you can create a strong future for yourself.You'll have a keen eye for noticing everything around you, making your ability to see both the big picture and the smaller details more a factor of talent than luck. Where others see you as having things just going your way, you'll actually be achieving greatness because you were able to put into action some thoughtful, well-laid plans. Note that you are the one who has to put these plans into action. You may discover a certain tendency toward laziness if you're not careful, and that could be the downfall to all these great ideas of yours.However, if you are diligent and hardworking, this could be your chance to take off with your career. You're about to turn into a problem-solving machine, and it'll be hard for people (especially your higher-ups) not to notice your incredible talents for finding positive solutions to even the most challenging conundrums.

Mercury trine Saturn

Success is in the details

Organized, efficient, detail-oriented. One might almost begin to think that your goal for the year is to satisfy as many qualifications on a job posting as possible. Well, there are certainly worse goals out there than trying to do well at work, and with the way things are lining up for you above, it looks like this could be a banner year for your career.Your communication skills are well developed and you'll be able to process just about any piece of information that crosses your path. Supervisors and coworkers alike will be thrilled with your focused attention on all the little things that really make a project come together; no detail will be too small for your keen eyes. Use this time to prove just how effective you truly are, and don't be surprised if your industrious attitude helps you move up that ladder.Romantically, this could be a good year as well. Your attention to detail will make anyone feel special, and whether you direct this toward a current lover or someone new, you can bet they'll be eager to pursue the relationship further. In fact, if you're not already married, this is an ideal time to consider a more serious relationship than one you've had in the past.

Mercury trine Neptune

Create your perfect world

Whenever you close your eyes this year, you'll suddenly be surrounded by a whole new world; it's one of your own creation and one where everything is perfect. The best part though, is that when you open your eyes, that perfect world will still be there. You've got the intuition to find only the best aspects of life, as well as the best people. Words will become your best friends. You'll know what, how and when to say exactly what someone else needs to hear. When you turn this talent toward a creative field such as poetry, literature or music, you'll find your skills exceed anything you could have imagined possible. You'll also notice that artistic images seem to flow through your mind, one after another: keep a sketchbook and pencil handy for any visions that seem especially perfect for paper. When it comes to love, these same talents couldn't be more ideal. It all boils down to you having an almost psychic sense of the world around you, and a lover will be pleased to have you instinctively know what they need. So if you're in a relationship, you'll be able to take it to the next level by knowing exactly what your partner wants. Or, if you're single and looking, you'll have no trouble finding just the right words to make a romantic interest fall for you instantly.

Mercury sextile Pluto

A detective for the soul

Mystery surrounds you at every turn, no matter what stage of your life you're in, but far too frequently, it's easier to just ignore the unknown and notice only what's familiar. That's all about to change. From now until your next birthday, you'll get strangely bored by the familiar, and find you prefer uncovering and solving mysteries and puzzles.Your mind will be in top form and only the deepest of topics will interest you this year. That goes double for problems that take a great deal of mental strength to solve. Anything difficult will interest you, from uncovering the secrets of the universe, to understanding the innermost thoughts of a lover or friend. You won't be satisfied with partial answers; you'll dig deep to find the absolute truth to every question and proposal brought to your attention.As such, this has the potential to be a very good year for your career and love life. You'll be so focused on knowing exactly what's going on and getting everything done perfectly that your boss can't help but reward you. Those same traits will be ideal for making the special someone in your life feel incredibly loved. If you're single, you'll find your ability to penetrate deep into another's soul will make you a fascinating partner to anyone lucky enough to find you.

Mercury opposite Uranus

Struggling for the right words

You're walking along thinking about an old coworker you haven't seen in a year, and all of a sudden, there they are rounding the corner in front of you and heading your way. You stop and ask them how their new job is, and they explain that they just got fired last week. Ah, and that's about the direction your whole year will take -- lots of unexpected, coincidental events filled with you trying to keep your foot out of your mouth.Whenever possible just sit and listen for a while before speaking, and even then, try to keep your speech as mild and inoffensive as possible. Your mind will be absolutely brilliant, but you won't be on quite the same plane of thought as everyone else. On the one hand, you'll have plenty of radical, out-of-the-box ideas, but on the other hand, your year will be filled with miscommunication and missed opportunities because of it. When it comes to your love life, you'll want to try to pay close attention to the needs of whomever the object of your desire is, as you'll have a special tendency to say the wrong thing at just the wrong moment if you're not careful. You'll face similar challenges with your job; have someone check your work as often as possible to make sure you didn't overlook anything.

Venus in Scorpio

Deep love

Still waters can run extremely deep. When those waters are your love life, you can add the colorful swirls of gasoline reflecting off the surface, but just waiting to be ignited. Oh, and you might want to throw a hidden whirlpool in at the bottom, too. Your romantic life, which is usually complex enough on its own, is about to get many layers of mystery, depth and passion thrown in as well. You'll be a sexual magnet these next 12 months, and yet so much of you will remain hidden.There will be a dark side to your love and you could become very possessive and jealous. Your passions will be valuable to you and to those with whom you come in contact, and you'll do whatever you can to protect them. But if you become obsessive, overly sensitive or jealous, you'll know your efforts have been displaced. The intensity of your love and your creativity could be intimidating to some, but it's through these outlets that you'll reach a higher level of being. Your transformation this year to a much deeper soul will lead to an oddly empowering willingness to surrender your desires to the one you love most. Let the waters with in you boil up, and learn from the experiences they create.

Mars in Sagittarius

Expansive understanding

Expansive knowledge is within your grasp. Your energies will be dedicated toward developing your intellect, and while that's always a good thing, you might want to ask yourself what your motivations are. Your potential for self-righteous behavior is high, and you may be inclined to expand your knowledge in an effort to be better than others, rather than for the simple sake of learning. That could prevent you from reaching your full potential, so you should try to make sure your motives are pure.You'll fight hard for your values, which is fine, but you should remember that everyone else is allowed the same privilege. More important than being right is the ability to be flexible. Many situations will come up that will test your sense of right and wrong, and being able to admit to a change of position will be a sign that you're on track to developing a healthy belief system, one in which you can assert your opinion without anyone else feeling threatened. Look for the big picture, as it will help you understand the opinions and perspectives of others without getting bogged down in the details.

Jupiter in Cancer

The big, big picture

Your instincts will be in top form this year, and you can pretty much guarantee that if you follow your gut when making a decision that you'll head off in the right direction. This will be true whether you're picking the toppings for a pizza or figuring out what the next step in your career should be. When considering the bigger pictures, like your career, keep in mind that this year, you'll be able to understand that bigger picture in the largest possible context, and to understand the implications for the future to you, your family, and all who move in your sphere of influence.Your decision making process should be just that -- a process. Ask yourself how you feel about whatever you're considering for change (How do I feel about this job? How do I feel about this relationship?). And then think about what you would do or what would happen if you followed through with the change (What job would I want if I tried a new one? Am I prepared to face life without the person I'm currently with?). If you're not ready to follow through with anything just yet, by the time your next birthday comes around, you'll have prepared yourself for an incredible transformation.

Jupiter retrograde

Open Your Mind

For hundreds of years, people believed the world was flat. And then, in what was comparatively a blink of the eye, they were forced to change their views and accept that the earth was round. Don't be surprised if your beliefs go through a similarly drastic about-face, this year. You'll need to remain completely open-minded when it comes to the values of others because you never know when you might be completely stunned to discover that they could actually be right. This doesn't mean that you'll have to disregard the beliefs and faith you've worked so hard to develop over the years, but it does mean that there may be more to life than just what you understand at the beginning of the year. Travel as much as possible to open yourself up to new ways of thinking, and then share what you've learned. Talk with people you come across, and maybe even think of becoming a teacher. This will be one of those times where you may not even realize change is happening until much later. Just remember that, regardless of what you think or feel about the events and values around you, it's important to remain open to them -- they may just change your life!

Jupiter trine Saturn

Realizing life goals

Life goals can be kind of funny. They're almost always in a state of flux as we consider what we really can and can't accomplish. These next few months may be a bit different for you, though, as you will begin to realize that you have the ability to initiate and achieve any goal you set for yourself. Your eyes will be a big as saucers taking in every option, but your mind will be sharp as a nail picking through every detail and making anything you set your sights on a possibility.The only real problem you'll face will be your tendency to just accept things as they are. Why bother fixing what ain't broke, right? Maybe. Or maybe there's something even better out there for you and its rewards will far exceed the effort you put into getting there. You have the potential to bring to life any reality you desire, especially when it comes to work and finances, so make sure you don't let a bit of laziness here and there prevent you from reaching a higher level of success. When you are able to motivate yourself, you'll see the results flow over into the rest of your society. So, be receptive to new ideas and new areas of development, and above all, don't settle for less than you truly want.

Jupiter trine Neptune

A functional imagination

Have you ever met those people who claim to have no creative abilities, and then, over and over, they stumble onto the most brilliant solutions? Well, guess what -- you're just like that. That fact will impress itself upon you as you progress through the year. You may or may not think of yourself as creative as this birthday rolls around, but what you'll discover is that some of your talents are so ingrained in you that you never noticed them previously.Your dreams will be especially strong for you, and they'll play a pertinent role in developing your future. You'll be an example of just how well imagination can function in the world, if used properly -- it's quite possible that you can turn anything you dream up into a reality. Just don't let yourself take anything, especially yourself, for granted. You may be tempted to let things slide because it seems easier at the time, but a little bit of effort will go a long way toward improving your future. You're about to become a visionary. You'll easily see the big picture, and you'll realize what needs to be done to improve the future. Take advantage of that skill and help both yourself and others to create a better life.

Jupiter opposite Pluto

Your hidden truths

Yes, you could use your truth-seeking powers in an effort to understand people so that you can control them. But you'll be better off if you use these same abilities to broaden your understanding of yourself. You've got some hidden truths deep within, but if they never surface, you'll never be able to achieve the great power you so strongly desire. That's right -- you can actually reach a higher level of power if you understand yourself than if you try to control others.You could develop a ruthless desire to get ahead, but again you must remember that hurting or controlling others really won't help you in the end -- rather, it's more likely to harm you, since it puts you on the fast track to making enemies. Also beware of any fanatical tendencies that you may develop this year. It's great to have strong beliefs, but don't take them too far. Most people will not appreciate you shoving your values down their throats, especially when there's a very good chance that you aren't following them very well either. Your personal development will be entirely dependent on your ability to learn to see things as they truly are. So take some time to step back and see what's really going on, and do so with yourself as much as anyone else.

Jupiter sextile Uranus

Expanding for the future

You won't be satisfied to just accept your life as it is during the coming year. You'll develop a great desire for self-improvement and growth, and acting on this desire is the only way you'll be able to end the year feeling pleased with yourself. This will lead toward positive changes and transformations in your world, but it could also create a greater level of impatience within you. It will be your challenge to try to find a workable balance between being eager to get ahead and accepting that this will take time.If some of the greater changes don't seem to be happening fast enough, satisfy your inner drive by making small changes, maybe around the home or at work. Buy some books about latest technologies so your mind will feel fulfilled, or sign up for a class that interests you just for the fun of learning (and not necessarily because you think it will provide future opportunities). If others, especially those close to you, don't understand your actions, give them time. They'll come around eventually. However, this will not be the time for your to compromise. This is your future you'll be working toward, so feel free to move full speed ahead.

Saturn in Pisces

Faith in the unknown

So much out there is unexplained, intangible and just not understood. And yet you'll be asked to put your faith in it, anyway. Scary? Yes. But doable? Probably. Your fears may hold you back for a while. The unknown is always a scary place to visit, but you'll be asked to live there this year. Irrational thoughts will rule your world, and you'll feel like you don't have enough control over the chaotic circumstances that take hold of your life. Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith and trust that things will work themselves out in the end.In response to this, you may have problems with drugs or other addictions. You could also develop relationship issues, and you may not feel comfortable devoting yourself to someone else or relating to others with true compassion. However, once you can accept that you have these fears and faults, you can work on improving them. At that point you will begin to build up faith again, and you'll be more likely to be able to develop a compassionate and unconditional love, as well as a more matured trust in the intangibles of life, such as the mystical and spiritual aspects.

Saturn retrograde

Back to the Drawing Board

The drawing board is where it's at this year, and that's where you should try to spend most of your time. You could turn into a planning machine if you give yourself half a chance. And these won't be what-to-do-on-Friday-night plans, but rather, what-to-do-with-the-rest-of-your-life plans. Keep in mind though, that the year is about plans, not so much about taking action. You'll have the rest of your life to figure out how to turn your ideas into reality, so, for the time being, you should just focus on coming up with those ideas.One of the problems you'll face -- and this would be especially true if you were to try to go big with your plans -- is that you'll feel inhibited by some sort of authority figures or societal rules. Whether your boss isn't in the mood to listen to your proposal, or you can't get a permit to open a store in your neighborhood, you'll start to feel like you're being blocked every step of the way. So relax a bit and follow the rules for now. The time will come soon enough when you'll know that your planning needs to turn into action.

Saturn conjunct Neptune

A blurred reality

Two forces are about to go to work pulling you in different directions; on the one side, you have your rational mind, and on the other, you have your dreams and subconscious. The line between reality and your subconscious state will begin to blur over the next 12 months and you'll have a hard time differentiating between what's real and what's in your head. This could be a difficult year, as you'll be challenged by anything that requires decision-making or strict focus.So how do you deal with this dichotomy? To start, simply understanding that this is happening will be a big help. Realize that almost everything will be a bit more difficult than usual and plan accordingly. You'll also want to be as open as possible to change. The decisions you make won't always be the right ones, and you'll just have to be prepared to take a different route on occasion. Your energy levels will be low and you could have a tendency toward depression. If necessary, find escape in fabricated worlds, such as those in books, movies and TV -- the false realities of someone else's creation can help take you away from any difficulties you may face from time to time.

Saturn sextile Uranus

A grand restructuring

An interesting balance will exist between your traditional methods of doing things and your desire for more progressive experiences. New ideas that could have a strong bearing on all of society will flow freely, and you'll be at the center of something of an evolution. The stage will be set for you to come up with positive ways of restructuring the world around you. This will be an exciting year rife with big changes and fresh approaches.You'll enjoy everything from science and technology to astrology, and anything a little shocking will grab your attention in a pleasing way. In fact, you may be the one who likes to shock others just for the fun of it. You will face some challenges, but as you overcome each of them, you'll grow in strength and character. Wherever you happen to work could face restructuring and layoffs, but you should come out of it unscathed -- more likely you'll end up with extra work and an opportunity to prove just how impressive your mind and work ethic are. You'll send a bolt of electricity through any group you're working with, and the results will be incredible and creative. Enjoy this time for the great experiences and your influence on society.

Northnode in Pisces

The world of imagination

Normal physical reality is only one part of your world. The other part is made up of your imagination and your subconscious. As you progress from this birthday to your next, you'll find yourself moving into a more complete union with your imaginative side. To continue on the path to your destiny, you'll need to break away from practical, tangible ways of living and learn to become comfortable with the mysterious, spiritual and mystical sides of life. However, enabling yourself to turn your dreams into reality will be crucial to keeping yourself grounded in the physical world.You'll need to develop a higher level of understanding about the unconscious aspects of your mind and emotions. Realize that your daydreams are just as symbolic as your sleeping dreams. It will be important for you to learn how to take your flights of fancy and use them as jumping off points for a stronger belief system. You will also need to understand the difference between transcendence and escapism -- the first takes you to a higher level of being, while the second merely takes you away from reality. Live by your emotions and your intuition, and let them act as indicators to what your next move should be.

Uranus in Taurus

Secure changes

You are heading into a unique situation in which you will have the power to make major change, but you'll be able to do so in a grounded and safe way. Progressive action can be scary and unpredictable, but you will manage to create a smooth balance between the radical ideas flowing through your mind and the processes needed to turn these ideas into reality. You will certainly see some major transformations occur in many aspects of your life, and possibly in aspects of the rest of the world as well.There is much wisdom to be gained from this world, both from nature and from history. Unlocking these secrets will be the key to keeping your originality and growth moving forward in a stable manner. Two of your major weaknesses this year could, ironically, be a fear of change and an impatience about upcoming transitions. Mixed in with your forward-thinking ways will be a stubborn steak, a part of you that just wants everything to remain the same. At the same time, you'll be giddy waiting for your plans to go into effect. If possible, try to find a happy medium. Your mental powers will be strong and stabling this year, so don't forget to use them on your own psyche as well.

Uranus trine Pluto

Adaptable to change

Wow, who could have guessed there was so much out there to learn? You knew there was a lot, but as this year progresses, you'll slowly begin to fathom just how broad our collective knowledge really is. And with your mind as open as it will be, you will jump on the bandwagon to learn as much as humanly possible while you can. Philosophy will also come to you in a new light. Where you once saw a jumbled mess of thoughts, you will now see enlightenment. You'll develop a new appreciation for what's been called the 'higher science.'A new understanding of your own consciousness will also blow you away. It will feel like there was an attic to your soul and the door was always locked, but somehow, this year, you found the key. And the effect will be jaw-dropping. There's so much about yourself that you probably didn't really understand or know about, but now you'll be ready to take your new insight and use it to improve your world. Change will become a necessity to you as you discover which of your traits and current choices could use a makeover. You will try to initiate it yourself, rather than waiting for someone or some event to come along that will force you to change. Fortunately, you'll adapt easily to any new development that comes your way.

Uranus sextile Neptune

Spiritual technology

Ever notice how so many of the greatest artists and writers got no credit for their work when it first came out? That's because they were too far ahead of their times -- sort of like you in the coming months. The exception being that you won't have quite as hard a time getting your ideas out (though it will still be a challenge). You'll have a wonderful openness to new thoughts and concepts, and you'll develop a clear style of communication that will help others see and understand your point of view. They may not agree at first, but they'll come around eventually.You will develop a lovely balance between science and spirituality this year. Technology will motivate you to turn to your spiritual side in an effort to understand all that's going on and why it's here. You might want to turn to less orthodox realms such as astrology, tarot or the occult to satisfy the unusual side of you. It will be your goal to push the boundaries of human knowledge farther out, and if anything can raise some eyebrows it will be going out of the mainstream for religious or spiritual beliefs. You, if no one else, will certainly develop a highly evolved understanding of the dynamics of human experience.

Altruistic motives

The truest compassion is not something that comes and goes depending on your moods or the circumstances, but rather, it's a state of being. It should be given out as unconditional love for all creatures, good and bad. The most real feelings of brotherhood and sisterhood will come to you this year when you are able to develop a genuine empathy for all creatures on earth. You will feel something of a craving to get out and help those in need as much as possible, and that's one craving you should certainly give in to. Volunteer at homeless shelters, children's organizations, hospitals, etc. -- anything that will leave you satisfied with the work you've done.Your spiritual connection will also become much stronger, and you'll feel an overwhelming desire to transcend the rational world and move more fully into your belief system. Again, feel free to give in to the desire. Let your dream world and your imagination guide you along the path to enlightenment. Just be sure you don't fall astray into the world of escapism. Though you might enjoy yourself there, you will not fully complete yourself until you leave the physical realm behind your entirely.

The cycle of life

The cycle of life says that something must die in order for more life to go on. This could be something traumatic like a mother dying in childbirth, but that's extremely rare compared to all the other little things that occur by the millions every day. A piece of rotten fruit in a field provides nutrients to animals passing by or the soil below it. A caterpillar turns into a butterfly. Even you getting rid of old clothes to make room for new ones falls under this category. Change and transformation are simply processes of life, and ones that we deal with every day.This year, however, you'll be more sensitive to the transformations that occur, and they'll become a part of who you are. It will likely be a very spiritual time for you, as you will begin to question all that goes on around you. Just what is the reason for our cyclical behavior? How can one concept apply to every aspect of life (e.g. for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction)? These questions and many others will plague you as you make a transition from simply accepting the world around you, to really seeing its complexities and wondering if a powerful being is in charge, or if everything just fell into place somehow, like a well-oiled machine.

I hope you have enjoyed the valuable insight, wisdom and guidance of this astrology report. You might be a little curious about astrology and perhaps wondering how an astrologer can know so much about you!

Astrology is a mathematical system. It's all about applying meaning to numbers, or more specifically, finding meaning in the movements of the planets around the Sun, as viewed from our perspective here on earth. These planetary movements are easily captured and recorded with measurements, calculations, angles and so on.

That's why astrology works so well with computers, whose programs are also based on numbers and formulas. In 'the old days' -- thousands of years ago, when astrology was first recorded -- those early astrologers had to painstakingly observe the heavens and catalog their observations for the next generation of astrologers to build upon. Thank goodness for the computer age! Now we can simply use computers to make those calculations quickly and pull just the applicable pieces of information. Now, astrology is instant, based upon thousands of years of observations obtained through careful methodology.

Interpretations of planetary positions are based in part on ancient Greek and Roman mythology, but your astrological report is unique, describing you and you only. Even in the case of twin siblings, their birth charts differ from each other's in at least a few ways. And besides, no one amounts to just a simple interpretation of their birth chart; everyone's personality is complex. Your astrological report leaves plenty of room for variations based on your free will, personal growth and transformation over a lifetime.

Just like you, your astrological report is unique. It’s generated online in seconds and provides you with instant insight at your fingertips. Whether you have a pressing question about your future or you just want some guidance and direction, now you can have it all -- in a fast, focused, all-about-you format.

You can choose from several different types to find the report that's right for you and your needs. Your natal report is all about you -- your unique characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, potential and so on. Compatibility reports analyze the connections between two different people, to see how well and in what ways they get along. And a forecast is based on where the planets are today and how they're affecting you, uniquely. Be sure to try a free sample of another report to find out more about you!
