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!

Watch for aggression

Oh, have you got an aggressive temperament! And from this birthday to your next, you're going to want to do everything you can to keep that under control. Your energy levels are sky-high, but that means they're pushing your impatience factor off the charts. You'll find you have difficulties connecting with and truly understanding yourself, which will make it even more challenging for you to connect with those around you. Everyone from employers to loved ones could make you feel as though you're under attack, but you'll need to remember that this is just a phase and no one is really out to get you. One of the greatest advantages of this time will be your strength of character. If can you realize what's happening -- why you're losing your temper because your sweetie was two minutes late, or why your boss seems more demanding than usual -- then you can channel that energy toward improving the situation and calming yourself down. Focus this same energy on solitary projects and exercise, as well, since the more outlets you develop for yourself, the more successfully you'll get through these challenges.

Compromising true individuality

To function in society, you sometimes have to compromise total individuality, at least a little. This is not the end of the world. In fact, it's the start to an entirely new, fresh world. Everyone out there has given up (or hidden) some little aspect of themselves in order to live a more full, enjoyable life, and there's certainly nothing wrong with you doing the same. The coming year will be a time of self-assessment. Have no fear, however, for if you do have any qualities that could use a makeover, it will be easy to do. None of this will require much effort, nor will it be in any way painful. It will simply be a matter of doing it. However, if you don't take the time to evaluate who you are, you'll find that all your efforts -- to do just about anything -- are stifled. Since you'll also find yourself with some rather perfectionist tendencies, you'll become easily frustrated if thing aren't going as planned. Take the easy road; get to know yourself a bit better and make whatever minor adjustments you think will help you adapt to life outside your home. You'll be glad you did.

Mercury in Libra

The scales of justice

The scales of justice weigh heavily on your mind, but in a pleasing manner, similar to the way a new love interest might take up much of your thoughts. In fact, there's a very good chance that when you're not contemplating both sides to every issue, you will be thinking of a current or potential partner. You'll seek out harmony in every situation and you'll happily consider every option in an effort to find the one that will help the most people. Conflict will hold no place in your life, and you'll go out of your way to avoid it.You will make an excellent peacekeeper or arbitrator in legal or difficult situations, but beware of the circumstances that require you to make a decision. You'll be so obsessed with seeing every angle, that you'll have a hard time choosing one particular direction. If you absolutely must make a choice, try not to think too much about it. Accept all the information you have, and then follow whatever is intuitively in your heart. Your first instinct is likely your best move, so feel free and confident to go with it, even if the decision seems fast. Understand too that although you abhor conflict, you must deal with it on occasion. Stick with only the most worthy battles though, in an effort to protect your sanity.

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 square Mars

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.

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.

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 trine Saturn

Stable, long-lasting love

In a world of constant changes and unreliable people, you're becoming a rock. You'll be one of those dependable, loyal people that everyone loves to have around this year. You won't be particularly social, but you'll accept anyone who comes to you. Relationships will begin easily, mainly because you won't feel like dealing with anyone who doesn't connect well with you. These same relationships will also be much more likely to last longer because you'll just naturally have a stronger connection to people who are reliable. So romantically, you could find yourself with a strong, stable partner.Though you won't be overly social, you will find yourself concerned with appearances. You'll be very much aware of the public image of those with whom you associate yourself, as well as what others think of you. Try not to let this go to your head; let your grounded nature override any shallow tendencies. Help someone (or many someones) in need this year. Simple things like making soup for a sick friend or volunteering at a homeless shelter will go a long way toward helping another and feeling good about yourself. On the financial side of things, if you have a bit of extra money, this year will be a good time to invest as you'll be likely to see a pleasing return.

Mars in Cancer

Emotional understanding

How you assert yourself and your emotions will play a key role in your associations and relationships in the coming months. You'll have an abundance of sensitive and caring energy building up inside of you, but if you don't know what to do with it, you may be frightened by it and try to deflect attention onto others. The result could be a passive-aggressive attack on someone, and you'll intuitively know just how to hurt them. In the end though, you could end up just as miserable.Instead of going on the attack, try to develop a deeper understanding of your own feelings. Your deepest desires will be for an emotional connection, but that will only successfully occur when you are in touch with your own instincts. Even sexually, you'll really only be aroused by someone with whom you feel an especially close connection. Consider working from home whenever possible, as you'll feel safe there, and therefore, more likely to work more successfully on your projects. Home, in fact, will be a place of solace for you, so you might want to expend some energy fixing it up, or gardening, or any type of home improvement where you take the lead. The work will make you feel both relaxed and revived at the same time.

Mars trine Saturn

Energized at work

Someone has to do the grunt work, and there's no reason it can't be you. You may not be able to offer up the most glamorous talents this year, but you will be able to dedicate yourself to your work in an honest and energetic manner that will prove to your coworkers and employers just how dedicated you are. The enthusiasm you exude will motivate others to work their best as well, prompting a successful and encouraging work atmosphere. This will open doors for you, and you could find yourself in the role of leader, if you're not there already.On the relationship front, you'll probably be looking for something more serious and long term. If you're already part of a couple, you may want to try to take things to the next level (moving in together or even marriage?). If you still haven't found that someone special, you'll probably start looking for someone else who's as serious-minded about love as you will be. Keep in mind, though, that this is all assuming you can drag yourself away from your work long enough to remember that romance exists. But love will be worth the effort, so do what you can to make some extra time for a few romantic nights.

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 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.

Northnode in Aries

Your true individuality

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

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 Pisces

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.

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.

Pluto in Capricorn

Societal transformation

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!
