**** SOLAR RETURN REPORT 2016 ****

THE ASCENDANT IN AQUARIUS
Your birthday chart Ascendant is in Aquarius, a gregarious sign of Aquarius --- emphasizing your need for creative freedom. Whether or not you are usually an independent person, this year urges you to think for yourself, to experiment with changes in your thinking and to express yourself in a new way. You seek inspiration and new ideas, and focus on planning for the future, keen to detach from past ties. This could also reflect in your appearance, as you experiment with new styles of dress, perhaps a new lifestyle. Your loved ones may wonder what happened to the person who they felt they knew. You are like a butterfly emerging from the chrysalis. One way of life may end as a new chapter of your life begins.

THE MOON

THE MOON IN LEO
This year you are in high spirits, noticeably so. Perhaps a new romance, or you may just be pleased with yourself and your life; you may have made changes that have turned out well, or may simply be feeling cheerful under adversity, making lemonade from lemons. You can't keep the smile off your face, others notice and be drawn to your fun loving nature. You need warmth, fun, laughter and company. Perhaps you find new activities and hobbies, or new creative expressions. If you are drawn to the arts artistically inclined then you are likely to increase your involvement and receive more recognition. If not, your creativity finds other outlets. If misfortune strikes, you are surrounded by loved ones and are able to feel good.

THE MOON IN THE 6TH HOUSE
It is time to focus on your health and well being, and you are motivated to change bad and work on the underlying psychological problems that have led to them. You feel good about adopting a healthier lifestyle. Some physical warning signs may have prompted you to seek medical advice, or you may already be living a healthy lifestyle and simply decide to make some adjustments. Slow down, reflect on what type of lifestyle is going to be most beneficial to your emotional well-being. What is stressful in your life? Or perhaps you have felt in a bit of a rut, and now feel motivated to change jobs, re-arrange your working environment, become more involved with your co-workers, or start a new work-training program.

ASPECTS OF THE MOON
OPPOSITION VENUS Orb 1°19' Separating
The Moon square or opposite Venus in the solar return chart can suggest a conflict between emotional security and financial considerations. Your monetary situation can be affected either positively or negatively by the lack of integration. For example, you might be ready to retire, but you still have college tuition to pay for your youngest child or debts to clear. You might be involved in a new and exciting relationship, but you partner does not handle money in a responsible manner and you are hesitant to comingle your funds. Problems can be major or they can be minor depending on your situation. Basically, your financial or relationship situation denoted by the house placement of Venus does not meet the emotional and domestic needs seen by the house placement of the Moon. The reverse is also truth. The emotional, domestic, and familial needs seen through the house placement of the Moon are not financially supported. In addition, significant others and partners can object to your plans. The best option is to compromise or create a plan that will address these issues over time. Financial stability is also affected by domestic conditions. Moving, pregnancy, birth, and education are common events that affect the amount of money earned and spent. Occasionally this aspect can show a time when you are financially dependent on others or society for support for one of the reasons mentioned above. If you are planning on pursuing an emotionally fulfilling goal, you will have to consider your financial situation before making any changes. Whether or not your goal is feasible at this time depends on how much money you have set aside. You might have to compromise your present income and take a pay cut to enter a more rewarding field. Ultimately, your salary will increase if you are successful in your new endeavors.

Your work may feel like a family, and your family may be very supportive of your work this year. Both family members and work associates care a great deal about you. You are truly blessed this year with love. Any matters dealing with real estate or relocation seem to go very smoothly. If there are changes professionally, they also seem to coincide with favorable changes in income.

THE SUN

THE SUN IN SAGITTARIUS
Your Sun is in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius indicating that you're a sunny and optimistic individual, with a love of adventure. In fact adventure plays a key role in your life, whether it be literally travelling around the globe, or metaphorically speaking exploring the world of ideas and philosophy. You're particularly enthusiastic about anything that expands your world
and helps you forget about daily chores. Religion, law, sport, philosophy, academia, and ethics are just some of the many areas which provide a gourmet of ideas for exploration. For these reasons you're also likely to be attracted to people from foreign lands, who help to give you a fresh and different perspective on life. You also enjoy setting goals, as looking forward to a new vision provides excitement.

THE SUN IN THE 10TH HOUSE
This year you reap what you have sown, and you reassess your life direction. If you have acted with integrity, compassion and patience then you are likely to undergo an exciting change of direction; the more positive the reputation, the more that you are likely to reap rewards. If you have shirked responsibilities either to yourself or others then you are likely to spend your year re-building your reputation. You may change jobs, receive a promotion, alter your career path, stare your own benefits, or begin studies that influence your life direction. If you are single, then you may be considering the important step of marriage. If you are already married you are likely to enjoy a more public role with your spouse.

ASPECTS OF THE SUN
SEXTILE MARS Orb 2°36' Applying
You are set for adventure, ready, willing and able to set goals, and then take action. Even if you are not a risk-taker you are willing to go out on a limb to achieve your goals. It doesn't This year you have the courage to feel the fear and do it anyway. A male mentor or partner may help or inspire you to move closer to achieving your dreams. You are enterprising, able to initiate change. Be wary of being too rash…daring but not foolhardy. If you feel pent-up and aggressive, physical exercise is beneficial, and a passion for sports may be a prominent theme. You may also enjoy trips to out-of-the-way places. You are ripe for adventure, make the most of the opportunities and enjoy the ride.

CONJUNCTION SATURN Orb 6°15' Separating
This year you can work and achieve your ambitions, if you stick to your work and use your common sense. You have the strength and stamina to achieve your ambitions. Relaxation time is likely to be sparse, so use it wisely. Pay attention to detail, acquire necessary skills, seek professional advice when necessary, or gradually build up new avenues when the old ones cease to work. You may also be required to tighten the purse strings, work within a budget, or direct your funds to renovating your home or restructuring your business. Time to pay attention to the structures that uphold your life whether these are the buildings, your finances, partnerships or investments. You have the vigour and are working hard as an investment in your future happiness.

TRINE URANUS Orb 5°18' Separating
This year's message is: "expect the unexpected", and anything goes, and you are well advised to go with the flow. If you love the newest and most frightening rides at the fairground, you could have the time of your life this year. Otherwise you may feel a little fretful and out-of-kilter. Sudden events can catapult you into an entirely different life, an eccentric benefactor may offer you a range of exciting new possibilities. You may be delighted as you attract a new exciting lover, a financial windfall or an unexpected pregnancy. Try to see your life as an exciting adventure and be thankful. This is your opportunity to break out of any old restricting habits, to express your unique talents and to shine as your true self.

CONJUNCTION THE MIDHEAVEN Orb 8°33' Applying
This year you are teetering on the edge of a major life change, the direction up to you. Set aside time to reassess your career goals, your marital status and your ambitions. You can achieve your goals if you steer a steady course, make the most of the opportunities and stay focused. If typically a stay-at-home type your friends and family are likely to notice a change in your behaviour. If you are already an ambitious type then you are likely to really enjoy your time in the sun this year. Promotions, demotions, job offers, proposals of marriage and other such life changing situations all hold the promise of adventures into challenging territories. This year you are up for the challenge.

MERCURY

MERCURY IN CAPRICORN
This year you may commit to a plan of action, or make a promise to another, and you have the mental discipline to carry through. Others notice your responsible attitude and you gain their respect. Your responsibilities may increase as you are entrusted with more speaking, negotiating or writing. You know when to speak, and you choose your words carefully. Mercury in an earth sign indicates stubborn thinking so make sure that you are not too set in your thoughts, and you remain open to new ideas. You excel when common sense and logic are required, and your strength is being able to apply mental discipline. But note that human beings are not often logical, and when needed you offer calm reassurance rather than a superior rational communication.

MERCURY IN THE 11TH HOUSE
This is a busy social year, perhaps because you are pursuing a particular hobby, project or cause. Networking plays a key role. You objectively reassess social commitments, group interests, and causes. If you have been laid back, perhaps just wasting time (watching television, perhaps), boredom may set in. Your lesson: find a hobby or cause to which you can commit. You may join a club, start classes, or try a new past-time. If you are already active your commitments may change. You enjoy being part of a group or team. Perhaps work now requires you to become a team member, or your role in a group changes. The changes you experience may bring about changes in friendships. Your lesson is to remain adaptable as the cards are reshuffled.

The planet of love in an Air sign this year indicates that you seek stimulation in love and money matters, are open to ideas and eager to communicate, rather than. You may be interested in speculation, although perhaps not ready to make a commitment to a particular person or course of action. If you are single then you are likely to be attracted to someone who stimulates your mind, and quickly dismiss anyone who bores you. If you are attached, you are looking to create quality time for two-way communication. If your need for stimulation is not met this year, then you are likely to feel restless. Look at other aspects of your annual chart for more details on your love life and money matters.

VENUS IN THE 12TH HOUSE
Love, faith and hope are themes for you this year because you are more focused on spiritual values than material ones. The material world doesn't seem to hold much attraction right now. Perhaps you have discovered a passion for helping others, a spiritual practice or a retreat in nature. Or maybe you have lost someone dear through death, or one of you travelled far away. The loss may trigger pain and grief, but may also deepen your understanding of the deeper and unknown aspects of your world. Assess your own values, act on them and gently assert your opinions and beliefs. Avoid becoming embroiled in a friend’s ongoing problems. You enjoy stepping into the unknown and may wish to share your experience with others.

MARS

MARS IN AQUARIUS

MARS IN THE 12TH HOUSE
This year you are the servant, not the master, which may be easy or difficult to accept depending on your nature. If you cannot avoid a leadership role, then you need to tread warily or you could become the target for other people's dissatisfaction with their own lives, or with someone else in a leadership position. You would be better off avoiding responsibilities that can damage your reputation in favour of pursuing more selfless work. You may enjoy working in isolation on a creative, charitable or manual project. You may also gain satisfaction from a more contemplative lifestyle this year. If you are feeling aimless and lost, voluntary work could be beneficial, helping you gain a new sense of direction and feel like you are contributing.

Single or married you're likely to be happy and benefit through your primary partnership. It's not just
your relationship to your spouse but also any partnerships which require a legal agreement. You're likely to succeed in any project dealing with other people, and you prefer to work with others rather than on your own. Other people appreciate your ability to work happily and co-operatively in business and personal projects, so you are likely to be successful in achieving your goals in partnership with other people.

A course of study, or an examination now may later benefit your career. You may change jobs but not career paths, or take a step in a different direction within your career. Even if you do not change now, you will be prepared to do so when the time is right, having done your homework. The change might be that you relocate to seek employment.

You may experience a blinding flash of clarity about what it is that you crave to change in your life. If you have always listened to other people, you are now free to follow your own heart. You may meet someone new and exciting, who reflects the changes that you would like to make, or you may live on your own to truly discover your true nature.

THE ASCENDANT IN PISCES
Your birthday chart Ascendant is in Pisces, a sensitive sign - nudging you into areas that draw on the compassionate and caring side of your nature...your journey is focussed on spiritual matters, not mundane ones. This year you may discover your true calling in life, as you reflect on spiritual riches, rather than material ones. At times you may feel overwhelmed by practicalities, so need to make sure that you eat and sleep well, and deal with the basic requirements of life. You may be required to focus on someone else's needs, sacrificing your own, but you learn a lot about love. You may have to adapt, but you are likely to learn much about yourself and your loved ones in the process.

THE MOON

THE MOON IN LIBRA
This Moon sign indicates that a year when relationships with loved ones are highlighted. You have a strong need for harmony, peace and quiet but this is not necessarily achievable. It is likely that your patience is going to be tested by loved ones. Your powers of diplomacy may also be tested. You may find it difficult to
relate to others in a rational and logical manner because you are so intricately involved emotionally. Decide when to say "no" and when to say "yes". Distracting yourself from other people's problems may be just what you need. There may be opportunities for pleasure trips, social outings, enjoying artistic venues. A creative or artistic hobby may be soothing, and you may take up a pleasurable activity that always attracted you.

THE MOON IN THE 8TH HOUSE
The material world may take a step back this year while you focus on more subtle aspects of life. You feel that destiny is playing its hand. Perhaps you become aware of the undercurrents of life, or events may catapult you into a search for meaning. You are aware of hidden agendas, and have the opportunity to see manipulative behaviour for what it is. You may become involved in the metaphysical, or perhaps read many self-help books. Or you may start a new business, or a new relationship that challenges you to see your life differently. Dreams, coincidences and people from the past may be significant. You gain a greater understanding of society, loved ones and your own psychological motivations, and can make changes in your life.

You are likely to gain many insights this year, and alter your opinions and beliefs.

TRINE NEPTUNE Orb 3°05' Applying
The message this year is: "time to follow your dreams". You are seeking more magic in your life….a romantic liaison, artistic inspiration, spiritual enlightenment or remote and beautiful holiday. If you are a dreamy type, you may be even more soft and creative. If an ambitious, practical and analytical type, you may notice the softening effect and at first you may feel a little lost, lacking your usual clarity. Slow down, contemplate, or illness may force you to. Follow your dreams in a way that does not burn bridges. Not an auspicious time to make sound financial decisions. Explore the spiritual, explore your artistic talents. Fall in love , but don't commit until you have passed through this phase. Avoid drugs, alcohol, religious sects and unscrupulous business deals.

TRINE THE ASCENDANT Orb 0°10' Separating

This is your year to focus on yourself, to assert your own needs and to shine in areas of your choice. You may discover that you are in the right place at the right time, on more than one occasion. Make an honest appraisal of your own gifts, and then make the most of the opportunities that come your way. Don't hide your light under a bushel.

The major theme of this year is confinement, either self-imposed or imposed by circumstances and is full of opportunities for quiet contemplation, to work behind the scenes and to support other people. While you may be restrained in a physical sense, your spirit is likely to be uplifted. The more that you can transcend restrictions the more you find this year rewarding. It is the ideal time for spiritual retreat and renewal, for being of service, or for working behind the scenes. In a woman's chart this can indicate pregnancy. It is an excellent year during which to lay the groundwork for a future project. This year go with the flow, act with integrity and understand that your experiences are leading to an awakening.

The message this year is: "time to follow your dreams". You are seeking more magic in your life….a romantic liaison, artistic inspiration, spiritual enlightenment or remote and beautiful holiday. If you are a dreamy type, you may be even more soft and creative. If an ambitious, practical and analytical type, you may notice the softening effect and at first you may feel a little lost, lacking your usual clarity. Slow down, contemplate, or illness may force you to. Follow your dreams in a way that does not burn bridges. Not an auspicious time to make sound financial decisions. Explore the spiritual, explore your artistic talents. Fall in love , but don't commit until you have passed through this phase. Avoid drugs, alcohol, religious sects and unscrupulous business deals.

If you decide that your lover is asking too much then you are able to attract someone new. Make sure you’re following your heart, and not avoiding intimacy.

THE ASCENDANT IN AQUARIUS
Your birthday chart Ascendant is in Aquarius, a gregarious sign of Aquarius --- emphasizing your need for creative freedom. Whether or not you are usually an independent person, this year urges you to think for yourself, to experiment with changes in your thinking and to express yourself in a new way. You seek inspiration and new ideas, and focus on planning for the future, keen to detach from past ties. This could also reflect in your appearance, as you experiment with new styles of dress, perhaps a new lifestyle. Your loved ones may wonder what happened to the person who they felt they knew. You are like a butterfly emerging from the chrysalis. One way of life may end as a new chapter of your life begins.

THE MOON

THE MOON IN SCORPIO
Your Moon in the sign of Scorpio this year indicates that your feelings are not only more sensitive, but also more intense. Something or someone is triggering powerful emotions, likely someone close to your heart. A woman is likely to be at the bottom of things, either directly or indirectly. Honesty about your true feelings is
imperative even if this means moving out of your comfort zone. You are likely to face some deep-seated fears with a view to letting go of the past and moving forward with more emotional integrity. Expose any darker feelings within you. Don’t keep secrets from loved ones as will be exposed, and so will any secrets of theirs. It’s ok to seek support from others instead of dealing with things on your own.

THE MOON IN THE 10TH HOUSE
If you are heading in the right direction your life is unlikely to undergo major changes, but this year ask yourself what is the best life that you can have and make adjustments if necessary. A new job, promotion, marriage, change in parenthood, or more prominent role in public office are possible. Changes that occur are most likely in your career, but you can be noticed in public in other ways as well. If you are feeling lost and confused about how to change your life direction, someone significant will cross your path to teach you a significant lesson to help you live your life more productively.

Anything new and original will appeal, particularly if it goes against convention. You like to test ideas that have never been thought of before. At best this can be a exciting quest into unexplored territories. It can, however, be an indiscriminate rebellion against tradition. Not that you will mind, for you're a strong believer in people having the freedom of individual expression and not being oppressed by society's expectations. A regular livewire, you've an electric quality about your personality, which makes it difficult for you to sit still for long and also makes you attractive to people from all
walks of life. In fact you prefer to mingle with groups of people, often adopting the adage 'the more the merrier'. You may also enjoy working in a group which fights a particular cause.

Circumstances may force you to face facts, but you are also eager to embrace a new sense of self, expending a lot of time and energy on pursuits that promote your own well being. Others may feel a little neglected, as you feel that you don't need other's co-operation, but be aware of the consequences of your actions right now.

Mercury in an earth sign indicates stubborn thinking so make sure that you are not too set in your thoughts, and you remain open to new ideas. You excel when common sense and logic are required, and your strength is being able to apply mental discipline. But note that human beings are not often logical, and when needed you offer calm reassurance rather than a superior rational communication.

The loss may trigger pain and grief, but may also deepen your understanding of the deeper and unknown aspects of your world.

Even if you do not change now, you will be prepared to do so when the time is right, having done your homework. The change might be that you relocate to seek employment.

Try to see yourself with love, and make adjustments to ensure that your life is fulfilled. Have you have fallen into lazy habits, taking the easy way out? You need to be open to possibilities and choose the most positive course of action. It isn’t easy but it helps you grow. You may need to improve your physical self, perhaps with diet or exercise, and then look beyond to improving your spiritual self. Honour yourself, stare down fears, and follow your own dreams.

The ability to focus on one's own goals to the exclusion of others is a healthy trait, but like all things a balance is needed, and you must make sure that you take the time to include others' points of views and modus operandi.

You objectively reassess social commitments, group interests, and causes. If you have been laid back, perhaps just wasting time (watching television, perhaps), boredom may set in. Your lesson: find a hobby or cause to which you can commit. You may join a club, start classes, or try a new past-time. If you are already active your commitments may change. You enjoy being part of a group or team. Perhaps work now requires you to become a team member, or your role in a group changes. The changes you experience may bring about changes in friendships.

activities and a lighter side of life. You will probably form friendships quickly.

Most likely you will put professional ambitions on hold while you focus on an enjoyable hobby, a passionate belief, or a new lifestyle. You may join group or club, spend time with friends or seek a change of scenery. Opportunities for change are likely to come about through friends, colleagues and acquaintances. You may renew acquaintances with old friends. It is important that you reach out to other people and enjoy life.

This year's message is: "expect the unexpected", and anything goes, and you are well advised to go with the flow. If you love the newest and most frightening rides at the fairground, you could have the time of your life this year. Otherwise you may feel a little fretful and out-of-kilter. Sudden events can catapult you into an entirely different life, an eccentric benefactor may offer you a range of exciting new possibilities. You may be delighted as you attract a new exciting lover, a financial windfall or an unexpected pregnancy. Try to see your life as an exciting adventure and be thankful. This is your opportunity to break out of any old restricting habits, to express your unique talents and to shine as your true self.

MERCURY

MERCURY IN VIRGO
This year you may commit to a plan of action, or make a promise to another, and you have the mental discipline to carry through. Others notice your responsible attitude and you gain their respect. Your responsibilities may increase as you are entrusted with more speaking, negotiating or writing. You know when to speak, and you choose your words carefully. Mercury in an earth sign indicates stubborn thinking so make sure that you are not too set in your thoughts, and you remain open to new ideas. You excel when common sense and logic are required, and your strength is being able to apply mental discipline. But note that human beings are not often logical, and when needed you offer calm reassurance rather than a superior rational communication.

MERCURY IN THE 1ST HOUSE
Your skills are on show this year --- opportunities to present your talents, particularly organization, communication and professionalism. You need to seek information and data about the world around you as you are likely to be faced with many choices. Lessons now: keep an open mind, remain flexible, have a little fun, remain as calm as possible and don’t worry about the options. Your mind is very active, so to steer away from worrying thoughts and stay focused on positive subjects. If you are bored and restless take action to get yourself out of any dull routine. Seek out new projects, explore as many options as you can. Try to find the humour in situations, re-ignite your youthful merriment and spin your own captivating story.

The planet of love is in an Earth sign this year indicating that you are more security conscious, and not willing to take risks, when it comes to your finances and love life. This year you are looking for stability, and are less willing to step out of your comfort zone. If you are single, then you are likely to be attracted to a
solid and dependable type of person, someone to whom you can ultimately commit. If you are attached, then you want seek reliability and predictability. For this reason this year may be one during which you make a commitment, either of your own volition or as a result of your partner's request. Sensuality may also play a key role in your love life this year.

VENUS IN THE 12TH HOUSE
Love, faith and hope are themes for you this year because you are more focused on spiritual values than material ones. The material world doesn't seem to hold much attraction right now. Perhaps you have discovered a passion for helping others, a spiritual practice or a retreat in nature. Or maybe you have lost someone dear through death, or one of you travelled far away. The loss may trigger pain and grief, but may also deepen your understanding of the deeper and unknown aspects of your world. Assess your own values, act on them and gently assert your opinions and beliefs. Avoid becoming embroiled in a friend’s ongoing problems. You enjoy stepping into the unknown and may wish to share your experience with others.

But it is not just your financial investments that require re-evaluation, but also how you invest your time. If your money is jointly invested, or if you are involved in a business enterprise then your joint resources are likely to change. If your money is not tied up with anyone else, then it is your own investments that are affected. Consolidate debts or debt collectors and bankruptcy may be just around the corner. Invest surplus funds wisely. Your psychic skills are finely honed. Face any residual fears about your unconventional talents, and put yourself to the test. You may discover just how gifted you are.

You can ask the higher powers to heal your body. As you change to healthier daily habits, you either start to feel refreshed and nobler in your job, or you realise that your work detracts from your wellbeing.

yourself, or landscape your garden. The material world is unlikely to hold many rewards for you right now. You are being asked to dig deeper. If you let ambition rule you this year then you are likely to upset some people, who may plot against you behind the scenes.

The major theme for this year is creativity and fun.

Last year you sought knowledge, this year your imagination can reign. You may choose to study or teach a course in something
that inspires your creative genius. This is a year to take risks. Risk believing in yourself and your own abilities; perhaps even something exciting like sky diving. Read, research and take off in your mind or on a plane. If married you are likely to seek more romance from your spouse; if single then a new romance may enter your life. Children may also play a role this year.

A male mentor or partner may help or inspire you to move closer to achieving your dreams. You are enterprising, able to initiate change. But you may not realize how selfish and pushy you are being. Be wary of being too rash…daring but not foolhardy. Avoid conflict where possible. Act with integrity not aggression. If you feel pent-up and aggressive, physical exercise is beneficial, and sports may be a prominent theme. You may also enjoy trips to out-of-the-way places. You are ripe for adventure, make the most of the opportunities and enjoy the ride.

You may enjoy learning a new artistic skill, perhaps learning a musical instrument. Your creativity is not limited to the arts, you may express original thoughts in any field.
Children draw your attention. If a parent or teacher you will be busy with the chidren’s activities. If not you are still likely to spend time with young people. Either way this is a hectic schedule and you need to be flexible. See this as the ideal opportunity to reclaim your own child-like innocence and sense of fun. Public
speaking opportunities may arise this year.

If you are single you may meet someone who really lights your fires. If you are married then you are keen to involve your spouse in your activities. You may have plenty of energy and drive, but perhaps you are too pushy, compelling your partner to follow your lead, causing a battle of wills. You are keen to share sensual experiences, and may become disgruntled if the feelings are not shared, an extra-marital affair tempting. On the other hand if you have been quite co-operative but the battle escalates or is showing signs of violence, you may decide that the time has come to move on.

If married, perhaps your partner's career prospects are unclear, and are affecting you in your own work role, or making career decisions. Slow down and really reflect on your life direction.
