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...

Mercury represents your intellect, the way you process information, and your interest in learning, teaching and communicating. Schoolwork, reading, writing, debates, lectures and conversations all fall within Mercury's domain. If your Mercury line is...Short: Either learning and study just aren't the focus for you this year... Read more
Venus represents love, affection and partnership, the sweetness of romance and the pleasure of togetherness. If your Venus line is...Short: Love affairs won't be a priority this year.

Saturn acts as your conscience and your stern taskmaster. This planet reminds you that you'd better stop goofing off, start working hard and take care of those responsibilities. If your Saturn line is...Short: You won't feel hemmed in this year by duties or self-discipline. Instead, you've got the freedom you need to go where... Read more
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
7-10: One thing after another and no end in sight

0-3: Living on Easy Street!
7-10: Even when life gets hectic, you still know how to chill
4-6: You'll work hard and play hard too
0-3: Schedule a massage - you're going to need it!
Sun square Jupiter
Boundaries can be so tedious, and that's especially true for this upcoming year. Why eat only one piece of pizza when you could have the whole thing? Hmmm. Maybe there's a reason we have boundaries after all! It's going to be awfully tempting for you to just keep on keeping on with something, past the point of positive returns. You need to pay attention to just how much work you do actually need to do (perhaps not quite so much?). You'll want to keep everything under control, as you'll have a tendency to bite off quite a bit more than you can chew this year.All aspects of your life could suffer from this inability to know when to stop. Hard as this may be, you're going to have to listen to your loved ones. Just because you think you know everything doesn't mean you actually do, and it's very possible that they'll have some worthwhile insight into your activities. On the more positive side, you'll have loads of energy, and you'll be able to accomplish many great tasks and projects. Careerwise, as long as you don't upset your boss or coworkers with a know-it-all attitude, you could experience incredible success.
Sun square Uranus
You're in a rebellious state of mind, but rather than rebelling against society or an authority figure, you'll be rebelling against yourself. For the next 12 months you'll notice one thing after another in your life that you're going to want to change. You'll question all your motives, and you'll wonder how in the heck you managed to make it so long doing things as you have been.Be careful with this attitude. While you can benefit from these thoughts by reorganizing a cubicle or managing your finances more effectively, you may also be inclined to make a rash decision that could affect you for years to come. You may suddenly find yourself bored with a relationship or job, but just quitting is probably not the best solution. Instead, spice up the relationship by taking the two of you on an exotic adventure (safari, anyone?), and improve your work situation by taking on a new project or coming up with a unique solution to an old problem (is there a more effective form of communication than email?).Your mind is highly charged, and you'll need to come up with creative ways to keep it active. It's only when you're bored that you'll be tempted to make a drastic move.
Mercury in Capricorn
A structured and disciplined mind can accomplish a great deal, as you'll soon discover. You'll see patterns in everything you think about, which will provide an inherent organization to all of your work. Clear communications will be a snap, as others will easily understand anything you explain, and you'll find there's a certain sureness and confidence in your words. You might become a bit too traditional in your thinking, though, so you'll want to work a little harder to keep your mind open to new ideas.Cynicism could play a role in your life, this year. A little bit of skepticism will keep you on your toes and allow you a more accurate account of your world. But cynicism can hold you back. You don't want to become so mistrustful of others intentions that your mind turns into a destructive force, keeping out any new ideas or concepts. You may display formal communication styles and be a bit hesitant to share your thoughts and plans, but that doesn't mean that anyone who isn't like you has ulterior motives. Remain open to new ways of thinking, and be aware that inspiration and influential ideas can come in just about any form.
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 conjunct Pluto
You'll have a window to the deepest, darkest psyche of the world around you this year; it's a fascinating perspective, but knowing so much could be scary both for you and for those close to you. Your mind will be able to penetrate some of the most disturbing levels of humanity, and you'll come out the wiser for it -- but the journey will be nothing less than extremely intense!What you consider to be superficial many will consider deep. What you consider to be deep will frighten others. What you consider frightening will probably be unspeakable. Add to this your incredibly powerful way with words, and you'll quickly become a force to be reckoned with. You'll be able to dig deep into any discussion or argument to come up with the most insightful, winning statement. And your secretive nature will keep everyone guessing about what's going on inside that mind of yours. This is not really the time for romance or any type of relationship. It's more of a time for you to plunge into the depths of your mind, as well as that of everyone else, to learn what you can about yourself and the people sharing this planet with you. When you finally emerge you'll be leagues ahead of all others.
Mercury sextile Neptune
Dreams are funny things. They're encrypted messages from your subconscious to a slightly more aware state of consciousness, and then you have to take what you remember during your waking state to try to make sense of this code. Not exactly the easiest task, but nonetheless, it's your task for the upcoming year.Your dreams are your connection to your subconscious self, and when you learn to interpret them, you really learn more about who you are. This deeper understanding of you will help you function more effectively in the 'real' world. Gone will be the superficial glamour of agreeing with mass opinion. Instead, you'll see your imagination grow, and you'll truly appreciate what's right for you. Your mind will wander down memory lane and into fantasy worlds, all in an attempt to dig farther into your soul.The only challenge you'll face this year will be found in any attempts to behave rationally. That'll just be hard. However, this couldn't be better for love. With your world so rose-colored, you'll find your either more enamored with your sweetheart, or if you're single, you'll easily fall in love with someone new.
Venus in Capricorn
Love, for you, is like a mountain. A tall, towering mountain that must be climbed with great care and precision. You can see the summit and you will have a strong desire to reach it, but your way will be slowed by many obstacle and difficulties. If you are making the trek because it's what's expected of you and you believe others will think better of you for finishing, then you probably won't finish. However, if you go to all the trouble because you have such an appreciation for the beauty at the top, then the odds are on your side.You'll need to open yourself up to the true power of love this year. In the past many (and possibly even you), have gone into relationships for all the wrong reasons. Achieving status or money through romance is hardly the way to true and deep love. Instead, you must break through to the passionate and caring soul who's inside you and let it out. Even on the easiest path to deep affection, you may have problems, but at least you'll know that your own heart is true, and that will leave you much higher up that mountain than anything else you've tried so far. If possible let your partner (one you with now or one you'll meet soon) help guide you along the trail. Working together will produce great results.
Venus conjunct Mars
This could be one of your best years for love. You'll have the perfect blend of masculine and feminine energy, and therefore, the perfect blend of passion and romance. You'll be well adjusted sexually, but you'll also relate to your partner on an emotional level. If you're not involved with someone right now, you'll find you have a magnetic influence about you that will make it quite easy for you to meet someone new. All you have to do is get out on occasion and be social. It's just an all-around great time for romance!That's not to say that everything will be peaches and cream every moment of the year. You may have some anger issues you'll need to deal with. Impulsive buying could put a damper on your savings. You could find yourself falling into a defensive mode at the drop of a hat, especially about a relationship you're in. You'll also want to make sure that whoever attracts your attention is someone with depth -- looks will be important to you, but you can't base a relationship on looks alone. Find someone you connect with on a deeper level. They're out there, and if you haven't found them already, this is your year to do so.
Venus trine Jupiter
Imagine a lazy Sunday afternoon. It's sunny and warm out, so you bask in the sun for a little while. Then you come in and watch TV or read a book for a while; maybe you take a nap and then wake up in time to order some take-out dinner. Nothing great happened, but it's one of those peaceful, contented days that just make you happy. Now, imagine having that feeling for an entire year.You've got a wonderfully pleasant year ahead of you. You'll have plenty of opportunities for romance, either improving one you're already in or starting a new relationship. Although you may not experience anything that's amazingly great, you'll feel comfortable and content with where you are in life. The only downside to this will be that you could become so satisfied you tend toward laziness and are unlikely to motivate yourself to reach your full potential. Turn to your creative side for inspiration, as you'll appreciate all forms of art, both of your own creation and of others. You may also develop a predisposition for overindulgence. For the most part, you're going to enjoy the year and come out of it feeling refreshed and revitalized.
Venus trine Uranus
You crave freedom. And you crave a long-lasting relationship. Somehow you've managed to meld the two together so that in the coming months, you'll be able to have both at the same time. The key will be meeting up with people who have the same need for space that you do, or helping your current significant other understand that even though you need some time away, you still care just as much as ever. Because you're so comfortable with who you are, you'll find a way to make this work.Your tastes will have a progressive bent, and so will your creativity. Only the most intelligent and unique people will have a chance of interesting you, and you'll find that even with them, you tend to be ten steps ahead. Your one weakness will be the ease with which your attention will turn to a new activity. You may get easily bored, no matter what you're working on, and want to move on to the next thing that piques your interest rather than finishing the original project. If you need mental stimulation, take a break, find some gadget that will amuse you, meet up with someone who's your intellectual equal -- but try to finish what you start.
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 conjunct Pluto
Your anger could reach new depths in the coming months, and there's a very good chance that it'll be unwarranted. Your job will be keeping the rage that's building up inside of you under control. Difficult as this may be, you'll need to come up with creative and positive outlets for these emotions. Political activism could be beneficial as long as your activities only involve people who share your views -- your opponent's allies could strike a violent nerve with you if you let them. But any activity that takes your mind off of your anger (or helps you understand it) will be good, and you can be sure that you'll have an incessant drive to keep going until you've achieved the ultimate goal.Solitary activities and projects might also be a smart route to take. There will be a power struggle in every one of your relationships, and probably in just about every interaction you have. This year will be hard on your significant other as you fly from jealous rages to attempts at domination. If you're single, you might want to consider staying that way for a while. It just won't be an easy year for romance. Again, your best bet will be to simply find some sort of project that you can focus on, and finish it. A sense of accomplishment will help tremendously.
Mars trine Uranus
Talk, talk, talk. You'll have some brilliant ideas, but you're going to need to do more than just talk about them if you want them to become a reality this year. Fortunately, you'll also have a pretty good supply of energy, so if you want to take action you can. It will simply be a matter of convincing yourself that an idea or belief is actually worth getting out of the chair and doing something about. You will have enormous intellectual power and when you apply that to your 'simple' tasks, you'll come through with great success.In fact, your intellect will quite exceed that of most others, so what you consider simple tasks will likely be incredibly complex. Others may try to throw what they consider challenges your way, but they'll be no match for your skill. You will easily win at everything you do, especially since you'll be something of a master at convincing people to do things your way -- without them even realizing it! Try not to take too much advantage of this skill. The only thing that will stand in your way will be your own complacency. You have the capabilities to go off in search of adventure and return a hero, but you may have a hard time convincing yourself to follow through with things. Make that your goal, and see just how much you can accomplish.
Mars sextile Neptune
Is it possible to be assertive and compassionate? Yes, as you will soon find out. As you progress into the months following your birthday, you will discover that you're capable of sticking up for yourself, while at the same time showing a deep understanding and sympathy for whomever you interact with. This is an uncanny talent that will help you learn quite a bit about other people and humanity in general. You'll be so sympathetic to the human plight that others may try to take advantage of you, but you'll have such a strong understanding of what's going on -- and such a strong disposition -- that you won't let that happen. You won't easily be taken for a ride, and you'll intuitively know who is genuinely in need of your assistance. Put these talents to work with a charity or some sort of volunteer organization. Or maybe even organize your own group to help the needy. It will be easy for you to connect with everyone around you, and your imaginative spirit will immediately help you put yourself in their shoes, whether they're those you are helping or those assisting you. Your natural leadership and your creative attitude toward the world will help you do good while improving your own life.
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.
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!
