The Year Ahead
Forecast for May 2009 to May 2010
The Sun and Mercury align in your Solar Return chart this year, suggesting a busy period in your life. Both bodies square Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron, which is an inspired combination but it does point to some excess–inflated expectations that can interfere with your mood, producing highs and lows. The trick is to use this energy for creative envisioning and problem-solving. The desire to expand your experiences and faith, and widen your mind, is great. Saturn trine your Sun can help ground you, but after its pass in September, you might be tempted to throw practical considerations out the window, which could be costly if taken too far. You are hungry for a more idealistic life, and more willing to make personal sacrifices in order to achieve it. Some disappointment, restlessness, and faulty thinking should be watched for. Routine seems to be particularly unsatisfying now. This is a time when you can easily take a detour from a practical path. It can also be a time when you are disillusioned by something (or someone). You might also find that you are easily led astray. Spiritual inspiration is a potential, and there is much to learn about yourself, your dreams and ideals, and others this year.
Uranus sextile the Sun and Mercury are very helpful aspects. Interesting and mostly pleasant changes and new interests figure in your year ahead. Its easier than ever to express your unique individuality, and if this involves changing careers or jobs, a new love affair, or an entirely new hobby, it’s something that takes you forward into unexplored territory. You are more willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations this year. It’s a good time to join organizations and groups and to attend meetings or social events. You are able to find creative solutions to problems now. Flexibility is the key to success under this influence. Your personality is sparkling this year, which is sure to attract new circumstances and people into your life. You are also able to find new insight into old problems, and your thinking processes during this period are likely to be especially original. This is a good year for projects involving technology or New Age topics. You may find more opportunities to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, or metaphysics. Unexpected gains may be realized through such mediums. Your intuition is strong, and insights seem to come from “out of the blue”. Original, creative ideas are easy to come by this year. A creative aspect from Pluto to the Sun and Mercury helps to give you some focus and determination. You are certainly more creative this year, and likely branching into totally new endeavors that suit your personality well.
Venus is aligned with Mars in your Solar Return chart, and romantic and creative passions figure strongly this year. New beginnings on the romantic front are likely. If you are not currently in a relationship, you are more likely to make the first move and go after what or who you want. Your affections are strongly stimulated, and you are more acutely aware of your powers of attraction. Romance, love, and sexuality occupy your mind more than usual. You can enjoy an increase in personal magnetism (as well as libido!), but be wary of competitiveness or tension in existing love relationships, as this aspect ignites your passions in general, whether theyre feelings of love or anger! Now is also a good time to engage in creative projects and to join with others in pursuing a common goal. If you are involved in competition, you could come out a winner. Venus and Mars in Aries suggests some impulsiveness in love (and with money), and it also implies new beginnings. Venus in awkward aspect to Saturn suggests some interference with your pursuit of pleasure, perhaps due to increased responsibilities.
Romantic and creative passions are big themes in the year ahead. Exploring your feelings, and a spirited approach to relating, figure strongly. You are likely feeling restless and have a tendency to misplace your faith in projects (and possibly people!) that require more attention to facts. Keeping concern for the future in mind and realistic expectations in most areas of your life should keep you on solid footing. Trying out new ways of expressing your creativity also figures strongly.
2009 is a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it’s a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It’s a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and “chance” meetings are probable. Advice – take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don’t strain yourself or actively try to expand.
2010 will be a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It’s generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice – take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.
