Stop the world in its tracks

Why do things the same old way, when you've come up with a new and improved scheme that works so much better? Well for you, the answer is 'duh, go with the new technique.' Your ideas are so unique and original, you'll have people stopping still in their tracks from shock. You may even find yourself stopping still in your own tracks, wondering, 'did that really come from me?' Go with it, though -- it'll be fun! If you have an aversion to change, however, you could face a challenging year. For a change, embrace everything new. If you suddenly find yourself in uncharted waters, try to retake control by doing something unexpected -- swim out to sea rather than back to the shore. Find people who have similar progressive interests -- join a New Age society, attend a tech trade show, anything that will encourage you to broaden your mind. This is your year to take the world by storm!What about in the bedroom? You'll want to spice things up there as well. If your partner's thrown off by the new you, take things slow -- try a new restaurant or travel someplace exotic. Even if you're single, new experiences are the best route. You never know who you might meet in a scuba diving class...

Disciplined and loving it

You've got a job to do, and you're determined to not only get it done, but to do it well. Your sense of responsibility will be strong, straight through to your next birthday, and you may be shocked by just how much you can achieve -- and so will your boss! This will be a very bright year for your career, as you'll be wowing everyone around with your incredible work ethic and abilities. It'll be hard for you to take a day off because you'll only be thinking about everything you have to do; you'd rather just keep getting stuff finished than take a break. You'll be almost as committed to any relationship as you are to your job. If you're already with someone, you'll be ready to renew your dedication to them, especially if it's slipped up in the past. If you're still looking for that perfect someone, you'll be ready to give yourself, heart and soul, to the relationship.Take advantage of this time to create some long term plans, complete with a step-by-step list to accomplish them. You can't go wrong. Just be sure to conserve your resources so you can keep going at this pace throughout the whole year.

Mercury in Taurus

Steady thoughts

You're in no hurry to make any decisions this year. All ideas should be chewed on, mulled over and slept upon. A thorough and methodical approach is best -- or at least that will be your opinion these next 12 months. Keeping everything simple and straightforward is easy and it's always worked in the past, so why would you want to change anything? Beware that you're not avoiding new trains of thought because you're stubborn or, even worse, afraid to show there's something you don't know. Sometimes listening to others can bring about better and more practical ways of doing things. Still, you'll find that your steadfastness will be something that others will come to rely on, making you a stable force in a bumpy world. You'll be equally stubborn when it comes to how you communicate with people. You'll be slow and methodical in your speech, and you'll expect the same from those around you. Flowery prose will do nothing for you. Your simple approach can be extremely effective, though, especially when you're trying to prove a point. The straightforward, simple and concise way you'll have of speaking will make it easy for others to understand you, and you'll rarely have a need to say something more than once.

Restraint is also a virtue

You are becoming a loaded gun just waiting to go off. It's almost like you're hoping a fight will come your way; and if it doesn't, you may try to go find one. Those you love will eagerly await your next birthday, hoping that this aggressiveness will finally dissipate. Their hopes will be fulfilled -- it will. But you can take action throughout the year to make this a little easier on both yourself and those around you.To start you must pay closer attention to what's going on around you and what you say. Many of your reactions will be completely unnecessary and they may come across as very brutal and harsh to their recipients. Try to base what you do and say off the nonverbal feedback of others. If your sweetheart just turns and walks away after one of your verbal lashings, then you've gone too far and need to apologize. Avoid making situations worse with careless comments or bragging. And when it comes to love, you must remember to step away from your emotions and move toward your thoughts. You'll be full of passion, but if you don't harness it properly, it could head off in the wrong direction. Feel through your emotions to find those that are positive, and only then should you allow them to your surface for your partner.

Mercury square Pluto

Crossing the line of obsession

Once you've decided something is important and worth your attention, woe to anyone who tries to change your direction or your mind. You'll become easily focused, to the point of obsession, on anything that manages to find a place in your brain. Whether this means solving a problem or convincing others to see something your way, you'll be absolutely relentless. Folks will just have to get out of your way to avoid being lost in the shuffle of that problem-solving machine you've got lodged in your head.If there has been a prickly point in your life about which you'd like to come to an understanding and possibly smooth out, this will be your year. You just won't let up until all the pieces have fallen into place -- and even then you'll still push around at them a bit to make sure nothing is loose. Through it all, the most important thing for you to remember will be to keep an open mind and remain tolerant of other people's thoughts about your actions and opinions. Just because you think it, doesn't necessarily make it so, and if you can't back down just a little, every now and then, you'll find that those you care most about will have a hard time being around you.

Venus in Aries

Amorous encounters

Love will become quite the fiery affair for you as you move from this birthday through to your next. Your sensuality and sexuality will practically ooze out of you, and many amorous encounters will await you. Whether you're single or part of a couple, sparks will fly between you and the object of your desire. You won't need any encouragement to go for what you want -- that will come to you quite naturally. This will be your chance to finally make romance do what you want.In fact, some people may even consider you to be a bit too pushy. In more areas than just romance will you be willing to fight to extremes to get what you want, so you'll need to make sure that you don't cross any lines when doing so. Make sure that if you're going to push hard for something, you choose something you're excited about. Anything that doesn't have a risk involved will leave you bored quickly, so don't waste your energy with anything (or anyone) that you don't think will offer enough stimulation. Instead, try to channel your creative energies into a more useful cause such as your work or, of course, your love life.

Venus trine Mars

Love works for you

Cupid has decided to work for you this year. It will be a magical time for love, passion, romance and sex. If you're already with someone, things will work out smoothly. You'll get along with each other well, and you'll be able to just go with the flow, no matter what comes up. That said, you'll also find that the relationship is full of passion, with the perfect blend of soft romance and fiery aggression. You two will certainly enjoy each other this year.Not with someone? That probably won't last long. This is a year of love for you, and you'll practically ooze romantic energy. An extremely strong magnetic force field will attach itself to you, and it will become impossible for you to not attract people. In fact, pretty much all you have to do is go stand outside and wait for someone to come up and ask you out. There's also a very good chance that someone you meet this year could turn into a very long-lasting relationship.But there's more to the coming year than just romance. Your creative skills will reach new heights, and they'll help you find unique solutions to any problem -- as long as you can keep yourself motivated and at the peak of performance. If you do start to feel lethargic, force yourself to get out and do something fun. Remaining active will be important.

Venus conjunct Neptune

Idealized love

Ah, the hopeless romantic within you has reared its beautiful, yet frustrating, head. You'll be so idealistic when it comes to romance this year that you may have a hard time meeting anyone who can fulfill your expectations. Instead, you'll over-romanticize all your relationships, seeing everything through rose-colored glasses and projecting unrealistic qualities onto your partner. For a while this will all feel wonderful, but then you won't be able to help getting upset when you discover it was all an illusion. If you're currently with someone, try not to be too hard on them -- you'll enjoy the moments where you think everything is perfectYour imagination will become strong and bright this year, filling your head with poetic images and romantic ideals -- and maybe even delusions of grandeur? More likely, though, you'll just be drawn to anything glamorous. You'll be fascinated by all the beautiful people of Hollywood, and you'll love everything to do with movies. With your imagination working as it is, you might even want to try your hand at a movie script yourself. Just try to make sure that in your attempts to lead your own glamorous lifestyle, you don't break the bank. That kind of living doesn't come cheap.

Mars in Leo

The good fight

The battle between good and evil is one that is constantly fought. You, yourself, are a bottle of vibrant and positive energy that's just itching to get out and combat any negative influences in your world. Well, have no fear: The opportunity has arrived. This will be a year rife with negative factors and you will eagerly take on every single one. By your next birthday, the warrior in you will be able to walk away, pleased with all the hard work that's been accomplished.Your direction will be strong as long as you remember to follow your heart. It is there that you'll find your biggest supporter, and you must listen to what your heart tells you at all times. If you don't stray, you will continue down the path of enjoyment. Your love life will be quite pleasurable and sex could be especially fun and steamy. You'll want to find a lover who will appreciate your animal instincts, but also know how and when to tame you. If you begin to head down a darker path led by your ego, you'll notice the effects immediately as you'll find yourself staunchly defending positions that you know you can't really justify. Allow your heart to guide you, and you can't go wrong.

Mars opposite Pluto

Conflicts and manipulations

You want so desperately to be yourself, to be an individual. Yet the harder you try to go it alone this year, the harder a time you'll have. One of the biggest lessons you'll need to learn will be that not everything is about you. You need to consider others as well, or you could end up in jealous, possessive relationships or in power struggles with nearly everyone you come across.In fact, you may find that people almost seem to be trying to goad you with their intense interactions. Look beyond what you see on the surface and into the true soul of the person with whom you're communicating. There's a good chance that what you perceive as manipulation will actually be nothing more than your own projection -- something of your own creation. If you don't realize this, you'll likely respond with anger and aggression in an attempt to feel in control -- but you'll never have control if you can't even see what's really going on.It would also be wise for you to remember that the results do not always justify the means. Though it may be difficult, you'll need to put yourself in everyone else's shoes before you make any comments. If you wouldn't like to hear what you're about to say, then you should probably just keep your mouth closed.

Jupiter in Gemini

Expansive mind

Mind expansion can be a wonderful thing. The more you know and the more you let your mind grow, the more success you'll have in this life. Your mind will be eager to expand itself to its capacity and beyond these next 12 months. The problem with this expansion will be a lack of depth. You'll be eager to cover as many topics as possible without getting far enough into them to have a full grasp of their importance. Nonetheless, educating yourself will be your prime motivator, so gear yourself up for some impressive mental skills by the time your next birthday comes around.Anything that will get you thinking and growing will easily grab your attention, so head over to a local college and sign up for a course or two. If you've ever wanted to learn a foreign language or brush up on one you already speak, this will be an ideal time. Travel will also be great for you. Whether you become a world traveler or just get to know the flavors of some nearby towns, you'll love the new people, cultures and ideas you'll be exposed to. If you can't get away at all, then at least pick up a book and start reading; even if you're not normally a reader, you'll find you're easily immersed in colorful narratives during the next few months.

Jupiter square Saturn

Progressive or traditional?

Do you want to work towards a progressive future, or do you want to use more traditional methods to keep your life flowing smoothly? Those are the two directions you'll be torn between as you move through the coming months. This may not seem like much of a difficulty right away, but don't underestimate the trouble that can be wrought when trying to decide between progressive and conservative -- one need only to look at the political dramas occurring all over the world to see how much of an impact these beliefs can have.In fact, you may begin to feel like there's a political battle raging within you. You'll start to feel as if you've become two people, as part of you tries to engage your intuition and vision, and the other half works to apply practical and tangible methods to any problems you face. What makes life hard will be a lack of communication between these two sides. You'll only start to experience an improvement to this situation when you learn to find the middle ground of these two opposing forces. In the meantime, you'll need to accept that you're going to be something of an inconsistent mess of mood swings, which could leave those closest to you feeling dizzy. Just remember that it's more important to have a consistent philosophy than a consistent technique.

Jupiter square Neptune

Unrealistic dreams

Reality is almost never the way you imagine it to be. For example, you're working on a project and you know you're doing your best work. So you start imagine how your supervisor will react. They're going to give you a promotion -- and a raise! You start to think about what you're going to do with the extra money (it will be a lot, of course). And then your computer freezes up and you lose all of your work because you forgot to back it up. Does that sound like a familiar scenario? Something along those lines has happened to everyone at some point, but this could practically become a theme for your year.So how do you work around such delusions? Hard as it may be, about all you can do will be to buckle down and really focus on the project at hand. Your imagination will clearly be working in overtime, so try to channel that energy into something successful -- put all of your daydreams into a journal, and you may have some exciting, publishable stories by the end of the year. Process everything in your life carefully, and do what you can to leap over any emotional or psychological barriers that might hold you back. You certainly have the mental capacity for achievement, but it will all depend on how successfully your can focus yourself.

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 sextile Pluto

Increased inner strength

The power and ability to withstand just about anything is at your fingertips. Regardless of what the world throws at you in the coming year, you'll have the focus and determination to turn it into a positive growth experience. You will not let fear stand in your way; in fact, you'll use it as an excuse to build up your courage and conquer any challenges that attempt to block your path. This will be a year full of inner strength and achievement.Look around you whenever you have a moment, and see what needs to be done. That could include everything from doing the dishes to fixing a problem at work to volunteering to help someone who's been misused by their government. Once you know where your efforts will be most useful, put together a plan of action, figure out who else can be of service (if necessary), and get to work both with your own duties and managing anyone else who may be involved. These will be your strongest skills this year, as you'll be proficient at both delegating and dealing with the painstaking details by yourself. You'll be able to use these abilities to get far with your career and the rest of your life.

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.

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.

Neptune in Aries

Crusade of understanding

If you find yourself on a crusade to bring your understanding to the people, remember that not everyone wants or needs to know about your beliefs. In fact, what's more likely to be going on will be that you get your own search for enlightenment confused with your desire to help others. The end result will be something of your own little holy war, in which you try desperately to bring your beliefs to the masses. Realize that if you get to that state, you have put yourself on a path moving in the wrong direction.True enlightenment will come from within, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. They must come to terms with their beliefs on their own. If you must help others, offer yourself as a guide to help them find and follow their true path. However, keeping your faith out of their actions could be difficult and you may find that you're really better off just focusing on your own journey. You'll have plenty of enthusiasm and drive to take you along down the road to a higher spiritual level of being, and once you apply yourself, there will be no going halfway -- you have what it takes to reach the spiritual realms you seek.

Neptune sextile Pluto

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!
