Birthday Astrology Forecast Report

Astrology Forecasts: Available with your astroSOURCE Subscription

When it comes to astrological forecasting, your birth date is more important than your Zodiac sign or daily horoscope. Where the sun and planets were positioned when you were born influences your life today and in the future. This report provides unparalleled insight.

Birthday Report

Each year, right around the time of your birthday, the Sun returns to the exact position it was in at the moment of your birth. Known as the Solar Return, this is your own personal New Year. Astrologers have found that, by studying the positioning of all the planets—their relationships to each other and their placements in the sign—at the moment of birth, they can gain insight into your upcoming year, until the Sun returns again.

As you may have noticed, most people tend to feel pretty good on their birthdays, and that's because of the positioning of the Sun. It's a time of gifts, celebrations, milestones and reuniting with old (and new) friends and family. It's a time to rejoice in all that's happened in the past and to prepare for what's to come. And the Birthday Report reading (also known as a Solar Return or Solar Resolution) can help you prepare by providing explanations and advice about the influences of the year to come.

Providing far more insight than typical astrology forecasts, the Solar Return is all about you and your place in this world. It offers a revealing look into the progression of your life and how you can make the most of the events to come. It's a great way to celebrate your future!"

Planetary Bar Graphs: Your Year at a Glance

What's the unique focus of your year ahead? 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!

What are your Stress and Relaxation Ratings?

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's 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!

Recognition and Rewards: The Sun
Sun opposition Pluto: Projecting The Negativity.

If there was ever a time to focus on individual tasks and projects, this is it. For the next year, you'll have a laser-sharp focus and your creativity will come from deep in your soul. But with this aspect, you can also expect challenging interactions on an almost daily basis, and drama will become a regular part of your life. What you need to understand, though, is that none of this is happening to you. It's of your own creation, even if you don't see that right away. When you interact with people, your negative side -- your jealousy, your possessiveness, your criticisms -- are all coming out through them. But that's just your own perception. If you react negatively, things will get worse. The first step to learning from and improving your situation will be the realization that you are in control of your actions and reactions. As you accept this, you'll learn to accept the more negative side to your personality. It's at that point that you'll finally be able to make headway and begin a positive transformation. In the meantime, try not to butt heads with anyone, and make an effort to get things done. The more you can accomplish, the better you'll feel.

Mind Expansion: Mercury
Mercury in Gemini: Outwit Everyone.

If mental gymnastics were an Olympic sport, you'd win the gold medal hands down. No one will be any match for your wits this year as you'll be able to out-think and out-talk anyone foolish enough to challenge your intelligence. Just let them try! Your mind will be race car speeding from topic to topic, never missing a beat. Your curiosity will be never ending, and you'll attempt to understand every concept you come across. Word games will be a form of entertainment for you, and you'll value the company of anyone who can keep up with your logic. Because of the speed with which you'll barrel through ideas, you may be tempted to gloss over things without getting into their full depth. Though you'll be able to get by with this approach, you won't appreciate everything you cover as fully as you might otherwise. Try to slow down from time to time and really understand a new idea. Your skills will be quite beneficial at work, and you could easily shine in any area to which you apply yourself. However, your reading and writing skills will be especially apparent during this time, so if you can focus on work that allows you to develop this, you'll find even more success.

Mercury trine Jupiter: It's Not Luck, It's Talent.

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

Mercury trine Neptune: Create Your Perfect World.

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

Mercury opposition Pluto: Avoiding The Propaganda.

There's some sort of agenda behind everything that's said -- and that includes whatever's coming out of your mouth! For the next 12 months, you'll want to be careful that you aren't being hoodwinked, but you'll want to be equally sure that you're not trying to take advantage of someone else's gullibility instead. There's such a fine line between persuasive arguments and propaganda (or even lies). You'll need to work hard this year to make sure your statements are clear and honest with no attempt to deceive. Manipulation will run rampant, and it will be up to you to rise above it. Use this as a time to get away by yourself and do a little self-reflection. Your mind will be sharp, and you'll easily get to the bottom of any problem -- if you can just escape the rest of the world for a little while. Some obsessive tendencies might creep into your life soon, and you'll want to be sure you're putting them to positive use, rather than just dwelling on something inconsequential. You might even want to consider professional counseling to help you understand everything that's going on around you.

Mercury square Saturn: Mind Over Matter.

The power of the mind is one of the most impressive powers in existence, and mind over matter will be a theme for you this year. It will be far too easy for you to slip into a negative frame of mind and suddenly discover that everything around you is bad. Your challenge will be to foster only positive thoughts to create a more pleasant world in which you can live. Pessimism, combined with the inability to stick with anything through to the end, could easily be your most dangerous foe. If you don't believe something can happen, then it probably can't. Even worse, these unpleasant thoughts could manifest themselves as your biggest fears coming to life. And yet, really, it's all in your mind. You must work to rid yourself of these negative perceptions, or they could start to affect your relationships as well. Your communications could suffer if you're not careful because you'll likely come across as cold, cross, and unfeeling. Try not to let these events get you down. There are aspects to this year that will certainly be difficult, but you must remember that this is only one year of your life. While things may seem hard for a time, you're learning valuable lessons, which could offer you solace later on.

Mercury square Uranus: A Wild And Crazy Mind.

Sometimes it's hard to keep up with the speed of life; and sometimes it's hard for the speed of life to keep up with you. For the next year, you're going to be bouncing back and forth between trying to catch up with your own mind and waiting impatiently for everyone else to catch up. It could be a frustrating year with lots of changes in plans, and you'll need to remember to be as open and flexible as possible. This will be a wild year as the rebel deep within your mind will crave action. That little demon will push you toward the outer limits of respectability and you'll challenge society's norms with your crazy notions. However, you'll have a hard time letting any of your thoughts focus onto anything beyond mere speculation, and accomplishing something concrete may require abilities that will be beyond your capacity. You'll have a lot of nervous energy keeping you up at night, and this will continue until you can learn to separate your intuition from your logical mind. Although logic will seem crucial to you, you won't really get anywhere until you can accept that sometimes you need to listen to your instincts -- even when they counter every rational thought in your body.

Love and Romance: Venus
Venus in Taurus: Heightened Senses.

Sensual is hardly a strong enough word to describe your approach to life and love in the coming months. Your five senses will be highly developed and you'll love everything in its most beautiful state, from soft fabrics to flavorful foods to enhanced colors to gentle music to the sweetest flowers. You will seek out warm and comfortably safe places and people, and you will see nothing but the best and most luxurious aspects of life. You can be a money magnet this year, helping you finance the security you desire. Still, there will be a fine line between earning enough so that you're comfortable and going to an extreme to guarantee that you have as much of a safety net as possible. This year is about living life to its fullest, and it's not a time to get too caught up in the rat race -- that will just make you miserable. Instead, enjoy all the little things around you, and realize that with a bit of diligence you can make almost any situation work out to your advantage. And of course, take some time out for love. With so much sensuality at your finger tips, you will make anyone you desire very happy.

Venus conjunct Mars: The Perfect Romance.

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 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
