The Year Ahead
Forecast for December 2006-December 2007
An exciting year is in your forecast. Uranus transits square your Sun and Jupiter transits conjunct your Sun for a good portion of the year (from February 2007 through to the end of the forecast period), and your life speeds up a notch. The desire to expand and explore is very strong this year. Freedom is what you seek, and how you deal with this issue is the key to how this influence will play out. If you recognize your need for changes in key areas of your life and adapt accordingly, this can be an exciting year of discovery. However, if you resist change and insist on keeping things status quo, you are bound to feel very restless, tense, and rebellious. Still, making healthy changes should be the focus--change for the sake of change is not what you should be concentrating on. Do your best to think before you leap. Situations in your life that seem to curtail your freedom could be hard to handle now. Spontaneity, not impulsiveness, is the key to success this year. Your creativity is stimulated this year, but so is your excitability and your need for freedom. You are likely to be more outspoken than usual, perhaps even rebellious. Your personality is more obviously expansive, exuberant, and enthusiastic--even bubbly. Your natural optimism and generosity are highlighted and heightened.
You are greeting life with a fresh, can-do attitude. What happened in the past is not very important to you now--it's the future you're eyeing now. Events occur that help you to overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable--you have an altogether different perspective on life this year, and are not inclined much to sweat the small stuff. You want to create a distinct first impression on others, and you tend to do just that. Furthering your personal ambitions and interests comes more easily during this cycle. At times, you may feel like the sky is the limit! You might need to guard against becoming too full of yourself or overly self-interested, however. There is also a risk of overindulgence and other forms of extreme behavior. Be careful that a carefree attitude doesn't end up a careless one. You feel considerably more free to be yourself, and others tend to accept you more readily.
You could find that your intuition is subtly enhanced this year with the Sun sextile Neptune in your Solar Return. You’re often in the right place at the right time, probably because your hunches are more likely to be correct. This aspect softens your disposition somewhat, as you tune into your imaginative and artistic side. You may often rely on your instinctual judgment. This is a good year for self-improvement programs or efforts. The need to “get away from it all” -- for some peace and quiet now and again -- will be strong. A more sensitive--even mysterious--persona is projected this year, and this can attract pleasantly unusual circumstances (and people) into your life. You will want to reserve time alone--away from the hectic pace of life--for reflection, prayer, and meditation.
A Mercury-Mars-Jupiter conjunction in your Solar Return chart suggests that you are extremely enthusiastic this year--bursting at the seams with fresh ideas and wanting to share them with others. You could enjoy business success this year, and opportunities for travel are likely to present themselves. Some people may get married or have a child under this influence. Athletes could enjoy strong results in competition. Authors should have a prolific year. Mental energy is extreme. Your ability to express yourself and to solve problems is greatly enhanced this year. Matters related to publishing, teaching, and writing are likely to figure strongly and should go especially well. You may find that you have the right information at the right time during this period. You are likely to have big ideas and plans, and your ability to act decisively should propel you to put your ideas into action. Work, especially in communications, goes well. It's possible that you may be argumentative and irritable under this influence, and particularly impatient with vagueness. However, if this energy is applied well, you may simply enjoy a more active and clear mind. This can be a good year to eliminate wasteful activities. This influence excites and over-stimulates the whole nervous system. You may be involved in frequent lectures, debates, and discussions during the year. You can convey your ideas more powerfully. You are quick to take the initiative and to put your thoughts into action. Adventuresome travel may be part of the picture. You may be more actively involved with young people.
A trine from Venus-Pluto to Saturn helps to stabilize your affections, romantic relationships, and financial affairs. Certain elements of your social and financial lives are secured and more reliable this year. You may solidify a romantic relationship under this influence, or become involved with a mature partner. Circumstances may be such that you need to handle money more carefully this year, or this may simply come naturally to you now. Passions are strong and intense, but controlled, in the year ahead. A new sense of responsibility in your social relationships comes during this period, and it's of a pleasant kind--you feel renewed, committed, and dedicated. Solid proof of commitment gives you a deep feeling of purposefulness and meaning. Relationships are imbued with a deep sense of trust, maturity, and respect. Sincerity and depth are most important to you. This is also a strong period for stabilizing your income and personal finances.
2006 is a Number One year for you. Ruled by the Sun. This is a year of action. The seeds you plant now, you will reap later. Others might find you less sociable, as you are busier than ever and you focus on your activities and your needs. Still, you are outgoing and your initiative is stronger than ever. Advice - Stand alone, take action, start fresh, express independence.
2007 is a Number Two year for you. Ruled by the Moon. This is a year of potential companionship. It is a quiet, gentle, and mostly harmonious year that is less active than other years. Instead, you are more responsive to the needs of others. If you are patient and open yourself up in a gentle manner, you will attract both things and people. This is an excellent year in which to build and develop for the future. Advice - be patient, be receptive, enjoy the peace, collect.
