Your Year at a Glance: what's the unique focus of your year ahead, specifically from a romantic point of view? This handy bar graph reveals your personal themes for the coming twelve months.
Each year marks a new and different phase of your life. What are your goals for this year? What would you like to learn or accomplish? What opportunities will arise for you this year, at work or in love? Your Solar Return report answers these questions more in depth, but this bar graph provides a quick view into the focus of your next year of life.
Based on that snapshot of the planets' positions at the exact moment of your Solar Return, the graph reveals the themes of your very own New Year. The more heavily featured planets in your Solar Return chart are the ones that will figure large over the next year. If Mercury makes lots of aspects with other planets, for example, this will be a big year for you in terms of communication and education. You might write a book or go back to school. If Venus makes several significant aspects, this could be a big year for you in love!
In astrology, the Sun reflects your core self, including your own sense of self as well as recognition and appreciation from others. Recognition, after all, can come from formal, outside sources, such as a raise at work or a trophy for winning the game; from more intimate outside sources, such as your friends or partner...

On your birthday, everyone wishes you a wonderful year ahead. But what's it really going to be like? It can't all be a barrel of monkeys. We've created these meters to give you that at-a-glance view you need of your year ahead.
The Stress meter measures the potential for obstacles in the coming year. Whether it's one trouble spot after another or you've got a free ticket to Easy Street, remember that every hurdle life tosses up in your path presents a lesson. That's what life is all about -- jumping through hoops, growing and learning.
The Relaxation meter measures the easy times ahead -- those days and weeks when you'll have a smile on your face and a spring in your step regardless of what's going on around you. Though you may think you want a high Relaxation score and a low Stress one, it's actually best if you come out somewhere in the middle on both meters. That way, your year will be fun, interesting and complex -- just like you!... Read more

Sun conjunct Pluto
Life is a series of steps; it's a succession of stages that you must struggle with in order to move on to the next level. You'll work your way through many of these stages this year as you break down the boundaries between your conscious and subconscious. This will be a time of great personal growth and transformation.Your darker side will come to light, and your personality will make a dramatic shift in the direction of seriousness and intensity. Nothing will be lighthearted now, nor should it be. Coming to terms with your authentic self is serious business and should not be taken lightly. You'll go through many ups and downs, many dark times and many times of rebirth. Find a creative means as your outlet for the issues you're dealing with. With ancient subconscious hidden matters bubbling to the surface, your creative abilities will be incredibly unique and powerful. Take advantage of this time, as well, to explore your deepest fears. Where there is fear, there is power. When you can come to an understanding of what frightens you and what holds you back, you'll find you have achieved a higher state of being and a higher level of empowerment over your world.
Sun trine Uranus
Authors are frequently asked just how it is they came up with the idea for their story, and more often than not, their response is that it just came to them; they have no clue how. You'll suddenly understand exactly what they mean. Each month you'll have brilliant ideas 'pop' into your head, apparently out of nowhere. Your task will be to take these flashes of inspiration and turn them into a fabulous reality.Some of these thoughts of yours may seem a bit out of this world. Follow through with them anyway. For the most part, you'll be able to keep your radical ideas from getting too whacky or hard to swallow, and what you'll present to society will simply be some incredibly progressive thinking. Through this all, you'll want to maintain your excellent sense of humor. Your out-of-the-box mentality will allow you to see the mirth in even the most mundane events. Host some parties yourself to add a little more life to your activities, and find out what brilliant thoughts others are working on. Let your guests bring whomever they'd like, and see how many new and unique people you can add to your list of friends and acquaintances.
Sun sextile Neptune
When you surround yourself with beauty, will it come from another's imagination, or will it come from your own? You're imagination is peaking and will continue to do so for the next 12 months, meaning that you'll have the resources to create some of the most beautiful and inspirational artwork (and that could be anything from painting to writing). All you need is the confidence to believe in yourself.Interestingly, you'll have no trouble believing in everyone else around you. Your intuition will also peak and you'll instinctively know what others have on their minds. It will start to seem as though you're comforting them before they realize they're upset. As such, you'll be great in a relationship, leaving anyone around you will feeling sufficiently adored. That feeling of love will be happily reciprocated.Spend some extra time devoting yourself to some sort of spiritual activity, such as visiting a place of worship or meditating. You'll find your attempts to transcend your ego are more successful during this time. You'll also appreciate volunteer work, as helping others can bring great satisfaction.
Mercury in Sagittarius
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 conjunct Mars
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
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 sextile Saturn
Persistence is a virtue. Yes, normally that saying is more appropriate with 'patience,' but in your case, the stars have made an exception. From now until your next birthday, you'll have the gumption to get the job done, no matter how much time and effort it takes. This will be made more powerful by the fact that you'll only apply yourself to projects that really are worth all that trouble.As you take on more projects and begin pestering people more to get the information you need, remember to call upon your own personal experiences for dealing with others. Consider how you respond to requests, and also offer up some advice to help with items other people are trying to cross of their lists -- your assistance will make them much more interested in helping you in return. If you find you enjoy the time you spend sharing your knowledge with those in need, you might want to consider teaching a class yourself. If that doesn't work out, try taking a class instead. Your mind will absorb and organize the new information well, and the simple transfer of knowledge is enough to make you happy now.
Mercury square Neptune
Is it possible to spend an entire year lost in a state of confusion? Well, yes. And this particular planetary alignment will make it especially hard for you to remain focused or think logically. Your world will be filled with miscommunications, which will lead you to become as flakey as ever. You'll also tend to be more forgetful than usual, which will just add to the flakiness. You might just want to warn everyone right from the start that they need to be prepared for this, so they don't get too frustrated. It would also be wise for you to get a calendar that you'll look at frequently and write all of your plans in only that one calendar.Your dream world will also be a cause of confusion for you. You'll find you have a hard time connecting to your dreams, and both remembering and understanding them will be a challenge. At the same time, it'll be easy for you to get lost in your daydreams and you could have difficulties finding your way back to reality. This chaos of the mind might tempt you to consider alternative forms of escape. If that includes watching a movie or reading a fictional story, then go for it -- these will enhance your imagination and give you a respite from reality. Just be sure to avoid turning to drugs or alcohol, as they'll only make the situation worse.
Venus in Sagittarius
Who could possibly want to be tied down when there are so many options out there to explore? If you don't feel that way yet, you will soon. This will be a year of constant change and new experiences for you, and you won't want to waste your time on anything that remains the same for too long. While this may not be an ideal situation for serious relationships, you can bet you'll have a lot of fun. In fact, if possible, you should probably try to avoid commitment all together -- it just won't be your thing. You'll be much more interested in going out with as many people as possible and moving around frequently.Travel will certainly be high on your list of things to do, and the more places you can visit, the happier you'll be. You might even want to consider a foreign romance. If you can't get to a foreign country, then go out with someone who's visiting your town. A little taste of something different will be quite satisfying. Keep an eye on how you deal with money throughout your escapades, though. You'll be awfully tempted to just throw it around, but don't let yourself go overboard. Something like Las Vegas is a lot of fun, but it's not a dependable way to improve your financial situation.
Venus square Neptune
Do you remember those lectures and shows in school about not giving in to peer pressure? If so, good -- if not, you might want to dig up some of those old memories. Your self-image could suffer some setbacks as this year progresses, and you'll be awfully tempted to turn to others for support. However, if you do that, you run the risk of being told how to improve yourself based on someone else's opinion, and not on what's actually right for you. You may also find yourself tempted by social situations involving alcohol and drugs. Do not go down that path! It will only lead you to more problems. Romance will also be a struggle for you. In addition to your difficulties with grasping who you are, you'll also have a hard time seeing your partner or anyone you date as they really are. Your ideals will be sky-high and you'll be extremely disappointed when you realize that the person you've fallen for is not really who you thought they were. At the same time, you'll be easily influenced by people, and you could find your values go through a time of fluctuation. Try to remain as true to yourself as possible throughout, so you don't find yourself making decisions that you'll regret later.
Mars in Capricorn
A controlled and determined energy will course through your life and your work. You will be able to assert yourself without becoming agitated or blowing a fuse. You will be the epitome of calm, while making everything work out in your favor. This will turn into a regular pattern of responsibility in all aspects of your life. To a certain extent you will be a master of self-defense, always helping others to see things your way. In fact, martial arts would be a perfect channel for your energies and will help you move your abilities to a higher level of spirituality.This year will also be a good time to work on developing your stamina in your body and in your work. Creations that last will give you plenty to focus on in an effort to take some of the sting out of your powerful sexual drive. Your drive, like everything else, will be controlled, but focusing the energies elsewhere is still a good idea. Plus, you'll tend to be more aroused or open to arousal when you've achieved some measure of success. Once you have your sights set on a goal, you can pull from all of your energy resources. You'll have the determination and the eagle-eye focus to make sure the job gets done and done well.
Mars trine Jupiter
Sometimes you just feel so lucky about everything going on in your life. But is it really luck? Or is it your ability to see both the big and small pictures, and then use that to your advantage? Well from this birthday until your next, it will most certainly be the latter. You'll be rife with creative energy and positivity, and you'll eagerly see the good in everything that comes your way.Whatever you put your mind toward finishing will be completed in record time and probably with a bit of pizzazz and flair. Everything from romance to work will keep you well energized and feeling good, and you'll be able to use your successes to motivate you further, while you'll hardly even notice any failures (if they occur at all, which is unlikely). Want to make this year even better? Take some of your excess energy and take up a new sport or exercise routine. That will jazz you up even more and you'll be in great shape by the time these 12 months are up. Remember that, though you feel this good, you're not completely invincible, and you'll be able to round out the year with good health, true love and a successful career. Don't ever let yourself forget that this has nothing to do with luck; it's all about your perspective.
Mars sextile Saturn
An example of a day in your life this year: You plan out your day carefully on your calendar. You execute every last detail at exactly the time indicated. As you check off your last item, you smile, knowing you'll be going home fulfilled. If that sounds silly, just wait until it comes true. It's been said that the cure for depression is industry, and this year, you'll be quite happy.Your energies will be directed toward responsibility and a dedication to your work. Nothing will be finished until it's been done to the best of your ability, and you will be holding everything you do to the highest of standards. While that may sound tedious to some, it will be ideal for you. You really couldn't be happier than when you've just completed something as planned, if not better. And fortunately for you, your superiors will feel the same way. Though this may not be the greatest year for you when it comes to relationships (don't worry; it won't be bad, but rather neutral), you will shine with flying colors in whatever it is you do for a living. Take advantage of this time to move your career as far forward as possible.
Jupiter in Taurus
The world around you can offer up plenty of learning opportunities that you can use to improve your life. It will simply be up to you to uncover these and use them to your advantage these next 12 months. Nature, especially, can provide a wealth of knowledge. From the growth of the plants to the communication between animals, there's a lot for you to learn. One of the most valuable lessons you can learn this year will be to take pleasure in all the small things around you.It's time to unravel any cynical attitudes that may have been holding you back. Your life does not need to be any more complicated than you make it, and only you have the capabilities to make things easier for yourself. If possible, take responsibility for holding down the fort. If you're smart with your investments, you could create some extra time for yourself. Plus, notwithstanding your tendencies to go to excess with food and sex, you'll have a good grasp of the essentials of life, and your love and understanding of security will make you a solid rock that those close to you can build upon. Share your wisdom of creating this ideal life with others -- they may not heed your advice immediately, but you'll have at least planted the seed of knowledge.
Jupiter sextile Saturn
Basically, your whole life is about personal growth. It's about taking what you've learned and expanding on that to make things better for the future. If ever there was a time for you to dive right in and get started on the plan to improve yourself and your future, this year is it. Theoretically, you should try identify every growth opportunity that comes before you, but in reality, every single experience is just that opportunity. Use this knowledge and it will help you bring a positive influence to any and all aspects of your life.It will be up to you to motivate yourself to open the doors that will bring you a better future, and fortunately, you'll have the skills to do just that. You'll have a grasp of the details you'll need to work through in order turn your dreams into reality. Your strong understanding of your place in society will be a major component in just how far you can go -- which will be quite far, if you put your mind to it. You will have the creative ability to imagine the best life possible, and you will be able to accept the responsibility of seeing that come to life. Ultimately, your power to see everything to completion will be your greatest strength and ally.
Jupiter square Pluto
Struggling to work effectively with people in power will start to feel second nature to you. You'll have a strong drive to succeed and to reach high levels of power yourself, but it will begin to feel like others are purposely trying to hold you back. That may or may not be true, but what your true focus should be on is your own personal growth. If someone blocks one path, then you must decide whether to defend yourself or find another path. You may be tempted to choose the former, but look carefully at the situation before making a decision. Either this person is really out to get you, or they're stopping you for a reason, and in either case, you may want to step aside and let them have their way.That could be the hardest lesson for you to learn this year. Your own desire for power and your tendency to overreact will make it extremely difficult for you to just step back from your plans because someone else said so. Avoid becoming too obsessed about a particular plan or goal, and try to remain open to change. Your challenge will be to find a common source between your goals and those of others. When you've achieved that, you'll know you've accomplished what the stars had in mind for you this year, and that could result in some unplanned successes.
Saturn in Pisces
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.
Northnode in Aries
The desire to discovering your true individuality will hold a strong power over you this year. You'll be looking to develop a freer, more accurate way to express yourself as a distinct entity, separate and unrelated to those around you. This may sound an awful lot like a teenager struggling to find themselves, and it is similar, but your actions and reactions in trying to find yourself will go much deeper than just understanding your place in society. You will attempt to walk away with a truer idea of who you are and where you're going by the time your next birthday rolls around.You are already familiar with your place in in society and in your more personal relationships. The path to your future will start when you step beyond that and attempt to familiarize yourself with who you are as an individual. You will seek out challenges in an effort to fulfill the independent energy within. This could include anything from pulling away from a comfortable partnership to heading off on your own with your career. You don't want to alienate others in your search for your identity, but you will need to head out on your own if you're going to succeed in following your life path this year.
Uranus in Taurus
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.
Neptune in Pisces
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.
Neptune sextile Pluto
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.
Pluto in Capricorn
Your mission for the year will be a total overhaul of all the outmoded forms of society that can no longer measure up or function as they're supposed to. Sound like a big job? It is. But you can start by just focusing on the structure of your own life and trying to transform that before you even attempt to tackle societal issues. One of the key areas you might want to look at improving, though, will be your social status. The higher you can raise your social standing, the more freedom you'll have to make more necessary changes later on.In fact, if you can increase your social status, you'll actually be on the path to breaking up some of society's most useless structures, which involve placing power in a small minority. Your goal is to work your way into that minority and try to break it up from the inside. Again, this is by no means a small task, and you should only focus on your own life this year. Maybe a promotion at work can help you reset some of your corporate structures, giving you practice for a bigger job later on. If you want to jump right in to freeing society from the power of the social elites, then see what kind of luck you can have in your own town. Volunteer for an elected official or get your own name on the ballot for the next election.
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!
