At the beginning of January I opened a topic, where I offered FREE Solar Return Reports for 2016/2017. Unfortunately due to some technical issues with LL forum, topic was lost. Some people already left your birth data and expected a SR Report which then never happened. I would like to correct that.

For a limited amount of time (and users) I will accept new requests for a free SR Report.

If you want to participate, please, leave your data:
1) exact birth date (year, month, day, hour)
2) exact place of birth (state/country, town)
3) place, where you will spend the most of the year 2016

Once I will add you to my list here, you can delete your data in your post since I already put them into my program for reading SR charts!

THE ASCENDANT IN SAGITTARIUS
Your birthday chart Ascendant this year is in Sagittarius, a sunny and spirited sign --- urging you to expand your horizons and really let your creative fires burn. If you are usually more reliant on other people, this year you are champing at the bit to march to the beat of your own drum. You would like to act as you see fit,
free of restrictions imposed by other people's expectations. Think of wild horses roaming free. Explore new fields of interest, areas that excite the spirit...travel, frequent the library, or explore the internet. This is a year of growth. What is important to your growth? What have you put off that you can longer resist? Which
areas of your life need to be unshackled?

THE MOON IN CANCER
Your birthday Moon is in the nurturing sign of Cancer indicates that you are strongly influenced by your family, especially female relatives. Someone close to you may need extra tender loving care, or you may be required to nurture a loved one through an illness or an emotional upset. You may enjoy a change of scenery by visiting a family member, or travelling with a favoured female companion. Your private life is changing as you are coming to terms with your own personal needs and those of loved ones. You may say goodbye as a child leaves home. Perhaps you will pick up your home and move, redecorate your home, invite a family member to live with you or welcome the birth of a new child.

THE MOON IN THE 7TH HOUSE
The changeable Moon is influencing the area of marriage and business partnerships this year. If you are married perhaps your spouse's situation has changed and you are now required to take a different role. Even if single, your own needs are put on hold while you take care of someone significant, or wait for them to sort their life out, and you need to take on a caretaker role. On the other hand the Moon may stir up some strong feelings when it comes to marriage and relationships, challenging you to break out of old patterns and embrace a new way of relating. You may meet someone significant who makes you realize that your life needs to change and lead you to make a rewarding, fulfilling commitment.

ASPECTS OF THE MOON
QUINCUNX THE SUN Orb 0°59' Separating
This is a memorable year. Right now your feelings are intense, threatening your peace and happiness, because you are being urged to move out of your comfort zone and accept new challenges. You need to face emotional truths and make changes or your health may suffer. Let go of unnecessary emotional burdens, particularly hurtful memories, abusive relationships and unhealthy habits. Don't let your emotions rule you but use your thoughts positively. One chapter of your life is closing and the next begins, and you will discover renewed vitality and a sense of carrying a lighter load. When you look back on this year you will view the changes in a positive light, feeling that a new episode of your life is starting, with a clean slate.

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 1ST HOUSE
Self-development is the major theme of your year. Keen to master many aspects of your own life, in particular your self-expression, you want to shine as the major player in your life. 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. If you act too selfishly then you may discover that others leave you to enjoy your own company. If you have been working on a project behind the scenes then this year you truly shine.

ASPECTS OF THE SUN
CONJUNCTION MERCURY Orb 5°59' Separating
"Change" is the key word this year. You may be restless, eager to change your life, or fretful, concerned about impending differences. You receive news of changes, or perhaps take action yourself after weighing the pros and cons. You may also talk to friends, family and colleagues about how you would like to do things different and decisions that you need to make. Go with the flow, taking action when you can and garnering as much support as possible. Young people may be of help, and any care taking role is likely to help you understand yourself and your own situation better and once again may instigate a change of heart or mind. You are likely to gain many insights this year, and alter your opinions and beliefs.

SEXTILE MARS Orb 3°27' 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 1°32' Applying
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.

SQUARE NEPTUNE Orb 1°20' 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.

CONJUNCTION THE ASCENDANT Orb 2°08' Applying
You are likely to take centre stage in your own life this year, even if you usually stay in the background, taking care of other people or organising events from behind the scenes. This year your talents are recognised, and you can enjoy the accolades. You may feel inspired to push forward with your own aspirations and plans. 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.

MERCURY IN SAGITTARIUS
The planet of communications in a fire sign this year indicates you are open to new ideas and activities. You enjoy expressing yourself freely and are quick to voice your opinions, but be careful not to be too outspoken or your popularity may wane. If you judge the mood of your listeners you are likely to inspire a positive response. You also need to learn not to take on too many projects, prioritise what matters most, or you could become overloaded and tense. If you attempt too much you are doomed to disappoint yourself and associates. You may start a new intellectual activity, such as public speaking, writing, marketing and public relations, or performing, and may also enjoy learning a new skill, or developing your talents.

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.

VENUS IN LIBRA
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 10TH HOUSE
The planet of love is closely linked to your livelihood this year, meaning someone close to your heart is also directly connected to your profession. You are likely to form a close bond with someone special who changes the course of your life. If single you may fall in love with someone in your working environment, or who works closely with you, a client, or someone associated with your career. If you are married you may form a partnership with your spouse that changes the course of your life. If not inclined towards romance, you may find pleasure in your work, enjoy planning your career or spending time with colleagues. You may also attract the attention of a prominent woman, one who helps forward your career ambitions.

MARS IN THE 10TH HOUSE
You are keen to take action to achieve your life-long goals. If you have been settling for second best in your career, now you are likely to challenge authority. If you are self-employed then you may take a different direction on your own accord. If you are an employee then you are likely to lay down your demands before your boss and seek employment elsewhere if need be. At times your career may feel a bit like a battlefield, as you vie for either your own autonomy, or top position. You may feel a bit driven this year, a kind of "now or never" feeling. But avoid making rash decisions that have long-reaching consequences. You may get married or actively seek someone suitable for marriage.

JUPITER IN THE 9TH HOUSE
Your world is opening up. This year, identify your most prominent desires, reach for your dreams and make them happen. If you have always wanted to travel to a specific destination, or always wanted to publish something special, now you can. Study a particular course you’ve wanted to. Your larger than life presence attracts attention and you may be bestowed with gifts from high places, or sponsorship from a benefactor. A project may finally get off the ground. You may meet an inspirational lover or teacher. You gain wisdom, as you learn about the world, and your role in it, and other people are the signposts. If you are afraid, then assess your fears and you can handle them by preparing yourself.

SATURN IN THE 1ST HOUSE
This is a momentous year. Something or someone is asking, or demanding, serious consideration and effort. You are about to take a crucial step towards achieving or completing a life-long ambition, where considerable commitment is required. Traits vital this year are patience, diligence, persistence and endurance. You might not have much fun, but you will be rewarded by achieving your goals. The major lesson is to ensure that you are satisfied your life is heading in the right direction. Even under heavy workload you know that you are accomplishing your objectives. If unhappy with your life direction you may have periods of feeling despondent, even ill, and if so you should seek the advice of an expert. Heed signs of physical or emotional strain and take corrective measures.

URANUS IN THE 4TH HOUSE
Quite simply and literally you may move out of one house and into another. This could be nearby or far away. Or you could also stay in your current house, and redecorate or renovate. The planet Uranus is challenging you to find a home which represents your individual self, and it doesn't matter how eccentric your domestic wishes appear. You might be quite selfish about demanding a house that suits you, not other people. (Of course, this is easier if you live on your own.) If you are hesitant to impose your wishes on those you live with you could find this year challenging. If you resist the internal changes and your need for a house that reflects them you feel restless, and may be uprooted anyway.

NEPTUNE IN THE 3RD HOUSE
You are more contemplative than usual and might prefer to be silent this year, rather than have to communicate. Your mind is pre-occupied, and you need find avenues for escape or spirituality, or to indulge your imagination. You are very impressionable, and may be easily distracted. Avoid making big decisions, unless the process began before your last birthday, as you may not have all the facts, or someone may be making promises that they have no intention of keeping. Be wary of con artists. Your dreams may be more prolific. This is a time of assimilation rather than accumulation. This is your year to create a sacred space in your daily life so that you can have a deep conversation with yourself, and your God.

PLUTO IN THE 2ND HOUSE
Money is a challenge this year. You could attract a windfall and face the challenge of how to manage your newfound wealth. But more likely, as Pluto strips away self-deceit and forces you to face the truth, you are required to learn how to manage your existing finances differently. Are you good with money, or in debt? Whatever your monetary management skills, you are being challenged to re-evaluate. Seek advice from a financial advisor, but make sure you trust that person implicitly. It is time to ensure that you are solid in your value system, that your morals are intact, that your self-worth is strong and as a result that you enjoy greater abundance. Matters of power and control are also likely to be prominent right now.

Venia - Solar Return from Nov 2016 until Nov 2017

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 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 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.

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 8TH HOUSE
You have become clear about your hopes and wishes and are now ready to instigate change, and you are unlikely to brook any opposition. It may feel as if a phase of your life has ended, and you may seek counselling or advice to help with the changes. Relationships are likely to be intense. If you have been single then you may marry, if married then you may seek changes in your marriage perhaps even a divorce. You may welcome the birth of a child, or assist an older child to leave home. You may make investments this year that change your lifestyle, or benefit from past investments giving you more freedom for self-development. Your finances are likely to fluctuate during this year.

You may start a new intellectual activity, such as public speaking, writing, marketing and public relations, or performing, and may also enjoy learning a new skill, or developing your talents.

MERCURY IN THE 9TH HOUSE
This year you strive to develop your full potential by setting goals and achieving them. However if you have your mind stubbornly set on a particular path there could be arguments and opposition from others, and it is possible that your loved ones have entirely different ideas. Mercury can be a little tricky and you may have set your ideals too high, or perhaps you are not free to set off quite yet. It is time to make plans, discuss options and remain adaptable. Your lesson is diplomacy --- to negotiate your way along the path. A person or event can trigger a quest for knowledge. By the end of the year you may have achieved your goals, or at least are on the desired path.

VENUS IN CAPRICORN
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 11TH HOUSE
You are a social butterfly right now. As the result of your own plans and activities, your diary is full and so is your calendar. Superficially it may seem as if you are flitting from friend to friend, social group to social group, but you are in the process of reassessing your own social values and friendships, hopes and dreams
are changing. It is possible that your change in social contacts results from a change in relationship status, or other life change such as a move of location, birth of a child, marriage or divorce. A friendship could develop into something intimate, but it is more likely that you play the field this year, enjoying fun-filled
activities and a lighter side of life. You will probably form friendships quickly.

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.

JUPITER IN THE 7TH HOUSE
Relationships are beneficial this year, helping you to expand your monetary and spiritual resources. If you are single, this year you can attract and perhaps marry a partner who is rich in the earthly or spiritual sense, or both. 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.

SATURN IN THE 9TH HOUSE
Saturn in the 9th house may mean a voyage taken for work, working with people from other cultures, attending a conference in another land, or even a career move to a foreign country. You may decide to do business internationally. You may be better advised to stay home and reassess your beliefs and plans. If you do move (temporarily or permanently) to a foreign country, you need to thoroughly prepare. Extravagant promises may lose you the respect of your friends, family or colleagues. You are made aware that you reap what you have sown and that you plant seeds now for the future. Examine your beliefs, learn from different cultures, and ensure you are living an honourable life within reasonable limits, without pompous expectations of yourself or others.

URANUS IN THE 1ST HOUSE
It is time to disclose your true nature and break free of any restrictions. If you are already living an authentic life, true to yourself, you may go through seemingly minor adjustments such as changing your physical appearance. Or, you may want to make a bigger statement by changing jobs, moving somewhere new, or starting a training that lights your fire. 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.

NEPTUNE IN THE 12TH HOUSE
Time to surrender your spirit to be renewed. Find time to meditate, listen to inspirational music, go on a spiritual retreat. The key this year is to find some way to escape your daily responsibilities and tune out. Other people are not to be trusted this year...not necessarily evil or deceitful...they just have their own agenda and don't necessarily have your best interests at heart. You are becoming more sensitive to body language….what is left unsaid. If you feel disillusioned, wondering if you are on the right path, learn to trust your own intuition and insights. Another reason you need an escape is to lay to rest distracting ghosts of the past, forgive hurts, so you can move forward. Your capacity for compassion, love and understanding deepen.

THE ASCENDANT IN CANCER
Your birthday chart Ascendant is in Cancer, a caring and sharing sign --- nudging you to incorporate nurturing, life-giving qualities this year. Your nesting instincts are strong, even if you are usually a more extraverted and freedom-seeking individual. You reflect on your role in your relationships, in particular with those closest to you, more sensitive to the needs of loved ones. You are more likely to be concerned about your private life, turning your focus to matters of the home and hearth, rather than professional ambitions. Questions may arise such as, what does family mean to me and where is my true home and family? You may feel compelled to make your home more comfortable. This year focus on getting your house in order.

THE MOON IN TAURUS
This year the Moon sparks a need for security. Even if you are usually adventurous, you are likely feel an urge to put down roots. It may be caused by an event; you may just feel that the time is right to focus on the material; or perhaps a sensual relationship triggers your need for home and family. But you feel the need to put your financial house in order, perhaps seek new income avenues, build a sound foundation, and purchase items to make life more comfortable. You may fee keen to feel a sensual connection to your environment. As a result you may benefit from therapies such as massage, aromatherapy, and reflexology. Alternatively you may enjoy working in the garden, planting seeds and enriching the soil.

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. Acknowledge what changes you would like make and strive to live the best life that you can.

ASPECTS OF THE MOON

SEXTILE THE ASCENDANT Orb 2°34' Separating
Your emotions are a prominent part of your personality. You are sensitive and intuitive, and will find that others respond readily to your emotional nature. You will learn much about yourself through your feelings. Your mother is a positive influence in your life.

THE SUN IN LIBRA
Your Sun is in the zodiac sign of Libra indicating that you strive to live a life of peace and harmony. This need for balance can be seen in all areas of your life, but particularly in personal relationships which play such a strong part in your life. Justice and fairness in interpersonal relationships are all-important. You can always see both sides of the story and therefore often find yourself in a peace-making or mediating role. You're diplomatic, and therefore carry out these roles well. However, make sure that you don't lose sight of your own objectives in your efforts to help
others feel at ease. There can be a tendency to become so embroiled in the problems of others and in your efforts to make others feel at peace, that you forget about yourself. Artistic appreciation, and perhaps artistic talents, will feature in your life.

THE SUN IN THE 3RD HOUSE
Communication is the major theme of this year, and you will be assessing your current thoughts and beliefs in possibly several areas of your life. Your mind is particularly sharp this year, so after your analysis you may decide to express your ideas through writing or speaking. Written word from books, poetry, contracts,
journals and other sources may take prominence, as may public speaking, teaching, and counselling. You may decide to become a student yourself. Now is the time to learn to enjoy stories by listening to other people, as well as sharing your own story. You may also become more sensitive to your immediate surroundings, viewing your neighbourhood in a different light. This may lead you to plan a change of scenery.

ASPECTS OF THE SUN
CONJUNCTION MERCURY Orb 1°23' Separating
"Change" is the key word this year. You may be restless, eager to change your life, or fretful, concerned about impending differences. You receive news of changes, or perhaps take action yourself after weighing the pros and cons. You may also talk to friends, family and colleagues about how you would like to do things different and decisions that you need to make. Go with the flow, taking action when you can and garnering as much support as possible. Young people may be of help, and any care taking role is likely to help you understand yourself and your own situation better and once again may instigate a change of heart or mind. You are likely to gain many insights this year, and alter your opinions and beliefs.

QUINCUNX NEPTUNE Orb 0°08' Separating
This year allow yourself to consider changes in how you have expressed yourself. Soften any extremes in your personality, especially in artistic ideals or religious edicts. Reflect on love, faith, compassion and hope, and change any hardened or cynical side of your personality. You seek more magic in your life….romance, artistic inspiration, spiritual enlightenment or remote and beautiful holiday. If a dreamy type, you may be even more soft and creative. If a practical, analytical type, you may notice the softening and feel a little lost, lacking clarity. Slow down, contemplate, or illness may force you to. Not an auspicious time to make sound financial decisions. Fall in love, but don't commit until you have passed through this phase. Avoid drugs, alcohol, religious sects and unscrupulous business deals.

SQUARE PLUTO Orb 5°12' Applying
The message this year is: "time to change your habits", and their underlying psychological triggers. This could mean diet, alcohol, nicotine, or lack of exercise. Do a little soul-searching. You may need to face deeply entrenched fears in order to live your own authentic life. Time to find your own path. If you are not living a healthy and balanced lifestyle then an event or a person is likely to force matters. You may say farewell to someone you love because you have not faced up to your bad habits, or because they have a negative influence on your life. The theme is liberation. If you are heading in the right direction then doors open. Control the things that you can, and let go of others.

MERCURY IN LIBRA
The ideas are flowing fast this year, and you are mentally sharp, with Mercury in an Air sign. Gatherings provide plenty of stimulation, and you may take a real interest in other people's news, as well as news of the world at large. You may even delight in juggling many activities. Your challenge is to avoid being too
distracted by social events and chatty people, or you may have difficulty concentrating. If your path in life demands results, make sure you apply yourself to the tasks at hand and follow through when you give your word. Ask help if needed, delegate where possible. Don't try to talk your way out of trouble, or lash out with a sharp tongue. A good time for networking and improved communications.

MERCURY IN THE 3RD HOUSE
This is a busy year. You are easily bored, happiest when occupied, benefiting by making plans and decisions. Practice mind over matter --- or mind over emotions. Take the focus off feelings and on to mental health. Concentrate on people, events and projects that promote peace of mind, not worry and stress. You quickly react to any news, but you must think before you speak. Learn to improve your levels of communication. Your open mind and thirst for knowledge benefit from reading, writing and learning, or you could use that mental energy to teach or in public speaking. Avoid chaos and catch up on your correspondence and bills. Your business acumen may also be sharp, as you make new connections, excel at marketing or sign contracts.

VENUS IN LEO
The planet of love is in a Fire sign this year indicating that you are more adventurous in love and money matters this year. You are more willing to take risks when it comes to love and money. Even if you usually enjoy security, you are prepared to venture out of your comfort zone seeking companionship, and perhaps even social influence. If you are single you are likely to be attracted to outgoing, artistic or adventurous types. If you are attached, your partnership is likely to feature more prominently in your life. You may be tempted to "show-off" your beloved a little more, or to pursue more social activities with your partner. You may even enjoy more creative pursuits, or a little social climbing and pomp and circumstance.

VENUS IN THE 1ST HOUSE
During the this year you are likely to attract warm and loving friends. If you are single you may meet someone significant and fall in love, or perhaps enjoy a more fulfilling social life and attract a choice of lovers. If you are married your spouse features more prominently in your life, the romance and excitement rekindled. But there may also be challenges about how you relate...is it real, or a façade that protects you from being hurt, and if the latter are you comfortable with your image or is it time for a makeover? 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.

MARS IN THE 2ND HOUSE
Mars in the house of money and possessions can indicate disputes over money. It is time to change the relationship between money and you. If you have always been frugal you may be challenged to lighten up, to give more generously. Re-evaluate your finances, decide what you value most. If you have been a spendthrift then you need to tighten your purse strings. Either way an event or a person changes your financial direction. A monetary gift may give you financial confidence; a financial adviser may assist you in handling your resources. You are more willing to take financial risks this year, and also willing to go bargain hunting for the best deals. Be careful not to be overly acquisitive, or to bite the hand that feeds you.

JUPITER IN THE 2ND HOUSE
Finances take on an increasingly noticeable role in your life this year as money is coming in or going out very fast. Perhaps you have mounting bills, or perhaps you are reaping the benefits of a pay rise or past financial decisions. This is an ideal time to focus on abundance. But try to moderate your spending habits, avoid wasting resources, so that you can make the most of the money that you have. You may be very lucky with money, receive unexpected gifts, finding a little bit more tucked away when most needed or achieve a promotion that boosts your income. It is a good time to try new moneymaking ideas, or apply for a job with larger income.

SATURN IN THE 4TH HOUSE
"Get your house in order" this year. This applies to whether you live alone or share a big household; dwell in a tent or a mansion. Look at where you live, facing that something has to happen. You may move, or stay and renovate. If you have been ignoring maintenance issues, or any household chores, you need to fix each problem. You may need to tighten your budget and channel funds into your home. The lesson is: undergo short term discomfort for long term benefits of a solid foundation. You also must make decisions regarding your family situation, perhaps moving into a smaller, bigger or different house, so start house hunting. Clear out cupboards, clean surfaces, rearrange furniture, landscape your garden. You may set up a home office.

URANUS IN THE 9TH HOUSE
This is an exciting, possibly unsettling year as your routine is prone to interruptions. You may not be aware of what is disrupting your usual routine, but the sense of unease is because your belief system is changing. You have the opportunity, and possibly the obligation, to challenge your set of beliefs to make sure that they still hold true, and if they don’t, to question what edicts can be discarded, and what new ones can be adopted. You are keen to push your boundaries of intellectual understanding. You may start or end a study course, travel unexpectedly, re-locate, even break away from fundamental beliefs and become fascinated with an unorthodox group. Think of yourself as an adventurer and enjoy the exhilaration of the journey into the unknown.

NEPTUNE IN THE 8TH HOUSE
This year you awaken to an understanding that the world is more meets the eyes. You are sensitive to undercurrents in human relationships, aware of both light and dark. A change in your financial resources or business dealings may awaken awareness of the intransient nature of physical resources, and the sometimes fickle nature of human beings. You may also be pondering matters linked to trust, and the meaning of deeply intimate connections with a partner. You may also be tuned into the threat to the natural environment and the pulse of the rhythms of life. Your challenge is to create a sacred space, so that you can assimilate your experiences, and feel cleansed and uplifted, aware of the seasons of life.

PLUTO IN THE 6TH HOUSE
Pluto influences your daily life, and the way that you structure your days is likely to change. There could be a job change (not career), a decision to work part-time or work more, or to start a diet or exercise program. Distribution of labour becomes an issue. If you are co-parenting you may need to reassess how jobs and
responsibilities are shared. If you have been undermining yourself (or others), or if you are being dishonest at work, Pluto will expose the truth and you will have to deal with it. Entrenched habits can annoy others. Face the truth, challenge any bad habits or obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and respect the boundaries of those who share your daily space. You could also acquire a pet which effects how you live.

Julz87 - Solar Return for Oct 2016 until Oct 2017

THE ASCENDANT IN SCORPIO
Your birthday chart Ascendant is in Scorpio, an intense sign --- urging you to discover your own emotional truth. You are sharply aware of the role that emotions play in people's interactions and decisions, and seek to discover emotional truths. Others may only be partly aware of the insights that you are gaining. Buried truths are likely to surface during this year. Perhaps you trusted someone, and discover all was not as it seemed. You are ready to changing the course of your own life, and perhaps profoundly affecting the lives of others, but may have to step into murky waters, shine light on the darker corners of your past and present to gain greater understanding and forgive before real healing and cleansing can take place.

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 12TH HOUSE
It is time to slow down and spend some time reflecting on your life, and recharge your batteries. If you don't willingly take stock of your life then an event, or illness, may force you into a more contemplative mode. It is a time to write a book, go on a spiritual retreat, take that long holiday that you have been promising
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. If you must take on more work then try to ensure it has a philanthropic motivation.

ASPECTS OF THE MOON

CONJUNCTION THE SUN Orb 5°26' Applying
This is a memorable year marked by new beginnings, where your intuition and self-confidence combine to help you move into a new chapter of your life. Your home and family are likely to be involved. This is your year for a healthy makeover emotionally and physically. Welcome new and exciting lifestyle changes. Listen to your own heart, use your thoughts positively and build your strength. You see your life in a different light. Your enthusiasm may be infectious inspiring others. You can find the emotional strength to rely on your own resources. As you move forward you discover renewed vitality, a sense of carrying a lighter load and a wondrous feeling that a whole new episode of your life is about to start with a clean slate.

THE SUN IN LIBRA
Your Sun is in the zodiac sign of Libra indicating that you strive to live a life of peace and harmony. This need for balance can be seen in all areas of your life, but particularly in personal relationships which play such a strong part in your life. Justice and fairness in interpersonal relationships are all-important. You can always see both sides of the story and therefore often find yourself in a peace-making or mediating role. You're diplomatic, and therefore carry out these roles well. However, make sure that you don't lose sight of your own objectives in your efforts to help
others feel at ease. There can be a tendency to become so embroiled in the problems of others and in your efforts to make others feel at peace, that you forget about yourself. Artistic appreciation, and perhaps artistic talents, will feature in your life.

THE SUN IN THE 12TH HOUSE
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.

ASPECTS OF THE SUN

SQUARE MARS Orb 5°40' Separating
You are all set for an adventure, but first consider other factors or people. Even if you are not a risk-taker 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. 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.

CONJUNCTION JUPITER Orb 3°14' Separating
Jupiter here indicates that you can enjoy a year of growth and success. You are able to see your own life in terms of the big picture. You are likely to feel like a super hero, optimistic, gladly trying out new activities and ventures. Others notice your enthusiasm and may make you a magnet to draw to you for a beneficial mentor, teacher, or benefactor. This is one of those years when doors open almost as soon as you state your request. You are free to explore new options and able to take great strides towards your goals. Beware of becoming greedy, or arrogant. An attitude of gratitude can help you on your journey. This is also your year to become a benefactor, teacher or mentor.

SEXTILE SATURN Orb 3°48' Applying
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.

QUINCUNX NEPTUNE Orb 2°07' Applying
This year allow yourself to consider changes in how you have expressed yourself. Soften any extremes in your personality, especially in artistic ideals or religious edicts. Reflect on love, faith, compassion and hope, and change any hardened or cynical side of your personality. You seek more magic in your life….romance, artistic inspiration, spiritual enlightenment or remote and beautiful holiday. If a dreamy type, you may be even more soft and creative. If a practical, analytical type, you may notice the softening and feel a little lost, lacking clarity. Slow down, contemplate, or illness may force you to. Not an auspicious time to make sound financial decisions. Fall in love, but don't commit until you have passed through this phase. Avoid drugs, alcohol, religious sects and unscrupulous business deals.

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 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.

VENUS IN SCORPIO
The planet of love in a Water sign this year indicates that you seek sensitivity and understanding in love, and are more likely to be focused on caring and sharing than material matters. Feelings are important right now. If you are single, you yearn for someone who is simpatico, sharing or supporting your passions. You are well advised to avoid anyone who expresses harsh words. If attached, you enjoy relaxing with your loved one in beautiful natural surroundings, at artistic or inspirational events, or perhaps even on a spiritual retreat. The key is for you to feel emotionally safe and in tune with your partner. Look at other aspects of your annual chart for more details on your love life and money matters.

VENUS IN THE 1ST HOUSE
During the this year you are likely to attract warm and loving friends. If you are single you may meet someone significant and fall in love, or perhaps enjoy a more fulfilling social life and attract a choice of lovers. If you are married your spouse features more prominently in your life, the romance and excitement rekindled. But there may also be challenges about how you relate...is it real, or a façade that protects you from being hurt, and if the latter are you comfortable with your image or is it time for a makeover? 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.

MARS IN THE 3RD HOUSE
Your mind is busy, and quite stressed. Perhaps it’s because you concentrating on too many projects. Possibly you are changing your plans, and must finish off tasks you had committed to, but are eager to embrace new ideas and start new plans. You need to communicate your thoughts and feelings before you can move ahead. However, you have difficulty knowing which project to focus on first. You know where you are heading, aware that there is a bridge to cross, but you are also aware of the obstacles
ahead. You have the drive to succeed, are determined to complete your tasks. Find a method of switching off the myriad thoughts bombarding you. Focus on the positive, speak your mind clearly and calmly, avoid words spoken in anger.

JUPITER IN THE 12TH HOUSE
The more you support others this year, the better you will be. Even if embroiled in some tricky situations, you have the uncanny ability to make gold from any situation as long as you honour others and yourself. Situations this year are likely to have ramifications for years to come. You're more wise to work behind the
scenes rather than taking on a public role, for if you step into the public arena you may seem undeserving. Anything other than humility can backfire. Your good works won't go unnoticed. You may spend time working or volunteering in an institution such as a hospital museum. If actively in public you benefit greatly from extended periods of seclusion. You may profit from ancient spiritual teachings, or from a metaphysical reading.

SATURN IN THE 2ND HOUSE
This year requires sound financial budgeting as you are likely to have less cash to spend. Positively you may be planning an exciting change in your life that requires altering your spending habits. Alternatively you may have had a spending spree and now reap the consequences. If lack of money is causing concern, seek the advice of a trusted friend or financial expert. You may feel a little despondent. Your lesson is to face facts without judging yourself or others harshly, be disciplined in earning and spending your money, and set limits. Reassess your income earning potential, and accept your limitations, or incorporate ways to boost your income. Perhaps it is time to apply for another line of work, or take on a sideline job.

URANUS IN THE 6TH HOUSE
It is time to re-evaluate your level of job satisfaction. Your workplace may change, colleagues may come and go, your salary may vary, and duties alter. If you happy at work then you are likely to be fine with any changes that occur. If you are dissatisfied then the time has come to make a move. If unsure of what changes to make, explore your options, and perhaps seek expert advice. If you resist the winds of change then you are likely to be forced into making a decision anyway. A new diet, exercise program and quitting any bad habits can really help you into a happier lifestyle. You may also seek an alternative lifestyle this year, something a little bit out of the ordinary.

NEPTUNE IN THE 5TH HOUSE
This is a very creative year when you are likely to be attracted to artists, lovers, and children. Subconsciously you are seeking inspiration, fun and a greater connection to the creative forces of the world, and are gradually gaining awareness of the obstacles that block you from experiencing joy. Enter the imaginative world of children and delight in their company. Believe a little in ‘magic’ like they do. Honour, respect, protect and cherish romantic love. Pursue any latent artistic talents. You can indulge in some fantasies about what or who is your passion. This year you can let your imagination flow and deal with the practicalities later, as long as you are not gambling your life savings, or risking your health and wellbeing.

THE ASCENDANT IN CAPRICORN
Your birthday chart Ascendant this year is in Capricorn, a conservative sign --- emphasizing your need to build foundations in your life this year. You are more introspective and security conscious, less likely to take risks, focusing on a thorough appraisal of your material assets and an ntrospective stock take of your personal traits and those of your loved ones. Your focus is gaining self-respect, concentrating on your own ambitions, shouldering responsibilities, and gaining a new sense of purpose. Control may become a catchphrase this year, but avoid trying to control the behaviour of other people. Perhaps you are building a reputation, concentrating on a rather large workload, starting a new business, or working to pay off your debts at a faster pace.

THE MOON IN VIRGO
The Moon indicates that this is the year in which you take charge of your own life. You need to get practical about personal matters, tackle responsibilities and take control. This may involve some re-organisation, sacrifice of immediate emotional needs, and hard work. It is a busy year during which you can achieve much if you manage your life, use common sense, plan your schedule and keep your nose to the grindstone. You can make decisions and make plans based on sound analysis of a situation rather than emotion. You are practical, methodical, self-disciplined and ready to exchange bad habits. You need to eat more healthily and improve your diet. If you don't then you visit the doctor or health professionals more often than you would like.

THE MOON IN THE 9TH HOUSE
This is your year for living dangerously. Perhaps you learn to break out of familiar patterns and learn to speak up for yourself and what you believe in. Maybe you long to study a particular course at university or in a spiritual college, you long to live and work in a foreign country. Follow your feelings and take steps towards reaching for your dreams. You may be drawn to people from other walks of life or from foreign countries who can help you better understand your personal beliefs and needs. Take stock of your personal beliefs, change those that are outdated and step out into the unknown. Explore what excites you, and open a new chapter in the story of your own life.

THE SUN IN LIBRA
Your Sun is in the zodiac sign of Libra indicating that you strive to live a life of peace and harmony. This need for balance can be seen in all areas of your life, but particularly in personal relationships which play such a strong part in your life. Justice and fairness in interpersonal relationships are all-important. You can always see both sides of the story and therefore often find yourself in a peace-making or mediating role. You're diplomatic, and therefore carry out these roles well. However, make sure that you don't lose sight of your own objectives in your efforts to help

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

OPPOSITION URANUS Orb 1°13' Applying
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. If you have heard of the saying, "careful what you wish for", then it is a little too late because wishes that you have made in the past may suddenly come true. 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.

SQUARE PLUTO Orb 4°17' Separating
The message this year is: "time to change your habits", and their underlying psychological triggers. This could mean diet, alcohol, nicotine, or lack of exercise. Do a little soul-searching. You may need to face deeply entrenched fears in order to live your own authentic life. Time to find your own path. If you are not living a healthy and balanced lifestyle then an event or a person is likely to force matters. You may say farewell to someone you love because you have not faced up to your bad habits, or because they have a negative influence on your life. The theme is liberation. If you are heading in the right direction then doors open. Control the things that you can, and let go of others.

SQUARE THE ASCENDANT Orb 3°05' Separating
Success is within your grasp this year, but you may have a few challenges along the road to accomplishment. Progress is one of the themes right now, as you reassess your ideas about yourself, your life and your aspirations. However, you are also aware of the factors that are needed to help you along the way. A little patience and persistence and you are likely to enjoy your time in the sun. Your success is not necessarily a public achievement. It could be a very private goal that you have been pursuing. Other factors in your annual chart can shed light on the major theme of this year.

MERCURY IN LIBRA
The ideas are flowing fast this year, and you are mentally sharp, with Mercury in an Air sign. Gatherings provide plenty of stimulation, and you may take a real interest in other people's news, as well as news of the world at large. You may even delight in juggling many activities. Your challenge is to avoid being too
distracted by social events and chatty people, or you may have difficulty concentrating. If your path in life demands results, make sure you apply yourself to the tasks at hand and follow through when you give your word. Ask help if needed, delegate where possible. Don't try to talk your way out of trouble, or lash out with a sharp tongue. A good time for networking and improved communications.

MERCURY IN THE 10TH HOUSE
Decisions that you make now are likely to change the course of your life. You are able to see your future if you stay on your existing path, and know what needs changed. You are keen to change your status while maintaining, or improving, your reputation and are aware of consequences, so your actions are likely to be well-considered. You may consult experts for advice. The respect of your superiors, peers and family is important. Communications, negotiations, and networking are now. Your decisions may take effect immediately prompting a change of career, marriage or public status, or perhaps plans made now take effect in the future. If you are in a position of authority then you are mindful of your responsibilities, and the necessity to make sensible choices.

VENUS IN VIRGO
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 9TH HOUSE
This is a year when your passions to achieve your dreams are highlighted. You may reach a crossroads and question which path to take on life's journey...stay on your current path with occasional adjustments or veer off on a different course. Either way, time to take note of the signposts. These can be internal signals (are you following your heart’s desires?) or external sources triggering opportunities to learn and change. Assess your own actions with love, not judgment. Time to decipher the code signals of your true self, rather than listen to social obligations. The more you tune into this symbolic language, and focus on your dreams the more that you are likely to benefit as doors open on new opportunities. Socializing with other cultures, travelling, studies benefit you.

MARS IN THE 9TH HOUSE
It is time to have the courage of your own convictions, overcome obstacles and follow your true path. Your first step may be to ascertain the truth about your beliefs, and discard those that no longer hold true. It is most likely your religious or philosophical beliefs that come under the microscope, perhaps prompted by an event or a prominent person challenging values that you have always held true. On the other hand your faith may be tested. This is your year to embrace your spiritual values, and if necessary to break with conventions and live true to yourself. Your urge for adventure is strong so follow your instincts, rather than suppressing urges. Plan that faraway trip, apply for that academic course, or train for the sport.

JUPITER IN THE 9TH HOUSE
Your world is opening up. This year, identify your most prominent desires, reach for your dreams and make them happen. If you have always wanted to travel to a specific destination, or always wanted to publish something special, now you can. Study a particular course you’ve wanted to. Your larger than life presence attracts attention and you may be bestowed with gifts from high places, or sponsorship from a benefactor. A project may finally get off the ground. You may meet an inspirational lover or teacher. You gain wisdom, as you learn about the world, and your role in it, and other people are the signposts. If you are afraid, then assess your fears and you can handle them by preparing yourself.

SATURN IN THE 11TH HOUSE
This year your social circle is shifting. This could be due to change at work, parental leave or marriage/divorce, but it is also likely to result from changes in your own heart and mind. This year you are likely to discover your true friends who last when your life changes. Eventually you find time to reflect on the difference in your friendships, social calendar and local network, and reassess your standing in the community, the ebb and flow of your social life and the true value of friendship. Your lesson is to interact with friends, social circles, community groups and work colleagues with integrity. You may also be the keeper of your friend's secrets. Remain steadfast, true to your own self and to your friend.

URANUS IN THE 4TH HOUSE
Quite simply and literally you may move out of one house and into another. This could be nearby or far away. Or you could also stay in your current house, and redecorate or renovate. The planet Uranus is challenging you to find a home which represents your individual self, and it doesn't matter how eccentric your domestic wishes appear. You might be quite selfish about demanding a house that suits you, not other people. (Of course, this is easier if you live on your own.) If you are hesitant to impose your wishes on those you live with you could find this year challenging. If you resist the internal changes and your need for a house that reflects them you feel restless, and may be uprooted anyway.

NEPTUNE IN THE 3RD HOUSE
You are more contemplative than usual and might prefer to be silent this year, rather than have to communicate. Your mind is pre-occupied, and you need find avenues for escape or spirituality, or to indulge your imagination. You are very impressionable, and may be easily distracted. Avoid making big decisions, unless the process began before your last birthday, as you may not have all the facts, or someone may be making promises that they have no intention of keeping. Be wary of con artists. Your dreams may be more prolific. This is a time of assimilation rather than accumulation. This is your year to create a sacred space in your daily life so that you can have a deep conversation with yourself, and your God.

PLUTO IN THE 12TH HOUSE
This year you are challenged to work behind the scenes. Pay attention to the subtle ebb and flow of your life rather than strive towards your own ambitions. Serving others will teach you more and serve you better in the long run. Perhaps circumstances in your life challenge you to take time to reflect and heal. If you do take on a prominent position, realize that the planet of power is in a subversive section of your chart indicating everything is not as it seems, and forces (and maybe people) working to undermine you...you are likely to struggle, ambitions thwarted. Better to seek ways in which you can support another in authority. If you find yourself embroiled in other people's battles, step away rather than take sides.

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 IN CAPRICORN
This Moon sign indicates that this is a year of analytical assessment in your personal life. You may be reassessing your personal needs, your closest friendships, relationships with relatives, or your marital status. You are able be pragmatic and methodically implement changes. It is time for you to reconcile the many demands in your life, such as time spent at work compared to the time spent at home and loved ones. If these areas are well-balanced you now reap the benefits, but if you squandered opportunities in the past, you may now have to pay your debts. There may be some isolation from home and family while you put your life in order. It is time to knuckle down, work hard and face facts.

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. Acknowledge what changes you would like make and strive to live the best life that you can.

THE SUN IN LIBRA
Your Sun is in the zodiac sign of Libra indicating that you strive to live a life of peace and harmony. This need for balance can be seen in all areas of your life, but particularly in personal relationships which play such a strong part in your life. Justice and fairness in interpersonal relationships are all-important. You can always see both sides of the story and therefore often find yourself in a peace-making or mediating role. You're diplomatic, and therefore carry out these roles well. However, make sure that you don't lose sight of your own objectives in your efforts to help
others feel at ease. There can be a tendency to become so embroiled in the problems of others and in your efforts to make others feel at peace, that you forget about yourself. Artistic appreciation, and perhaps artistic talents, will feature in your life.

THE SUN IN THE 7TH HOUSE
Marriage and commitment are the major theme of this year. If single you are likely to meet a potentially life-changing partner, someone with whom you would like to share your life. If already in a relationship you are likely to focus more on your partner, or perhaps make a more serious commitment. The focus may be on entering into a relationship with a business partner. While a serious relationship may end, it is more likely that your focus is on co-operation and union. You are keen to make plans and share experiences with a partner. You enjoy intertwining your life with key people, teamwork provides many blessings for you. But make sure to pay special attention to anything that is legally binding.

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. If you have heard of the saying, "careful what you wish for", then it is a little too late because wishes that you have made in the past may suddenly come true. 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.

SQUARE PLUTO Orb 2°21' Separating

You may need to face deeply entrenched fears in order to live your own authentic life. Time to find your own path. If you are not living a healthy and balanced lifestyle then an event or a person is likely to force matters. You may say farewell to someone you love because you have not faced up to your bad habits, or because they have a negative influence on your life. The theme is liberation. If you are heading in the right direction then doors open. Control the things that you can, and let go of others.

MERCURY IN LIBRA
The ideas are flowing fast this year, and you are mentally sharp, with Mercury in an Air sign. Gatherings provide plenty of stimulation, and you may take a real interest in other people's news, as well as news of the world at large. You may even delight in juggling many activities. Your challenge is to avoid being too
distracted by social events and chatty people, or you may have difficulty concentrating. If your path in life demands results, make sure you apply yourself to the tasks at hand and follow through when you give your word. Ask help if needed, delegate where possible. Don't try to talk your way out of trouble, or lash out with a sharp tongue. A good time for networking and improved communications.

MERCURY IN THE 7TH HOUSE
Love and all that is connected to love is highlighted right now as you learn about yourself, your relationship and your partner. If you are single you may meet new and intellectually stimulating people. Before getting more deeply involved, make sure you also feel an emotional bond or it may not last. An imminent wedding ceremony may be the focus of many discussions and plans. If married, discussions are likely to be intense on subjects such as whether or not to have children, or plans for your life together. You two may spend many hours discussing renovation plans or family holidays. Your lesson is to keep conversing and remain flexible. If you and your partner don't see eye to eye take time out and negotiate a compromise.

If attached, you enjoy relaxing with your loved one in beautiful natural surroundings, at artistic or inspirational events, or perhaps even on a spiritual retreat. The key is for you to feel emotionally safe and in tune with your partner. Look at other aspects of your annual chart for more details on your love life and money matters.

VENUS IN THE 8TH HOUSE
Hidden forces affect your love life as you are about to come face to face with strong feelings about an intimate relationship. If single there may be a magnetic attraction to someone who represents your hidden desires. This may cause you to seriously question your own needs and desires when it comes to marriage and commitment, perhaps facing a fear of intimacy. If married, perhaps there is a change of direction based on your own or your partner’s desires, and tension may arise as you both tackle previously suppressed feelings. Questions surrounding finances and sharing of material resources are also likely to arise. You may receive an expected monetary gift. Seasons have a profound effect on you as you seek pleasure and comfort warmer or cooler climates.

MARS IN THE 10TH HOUSE
You are keen to take action to achieve your life-long goals. If you have been settling for second best in your career, now you are likely to challenge authority. If you are self-employed then you may take a different direction on your own accord. If you are an employee then you are likely to lay down your demands before your boss and seek employment elsewhere if need be. At times your career may feel a bit like a battlefield, as you vie for either your own autonomy, or top position. You may feel a bit driven this year, a kind of "now or never" feeling. But avoid making rash decisions that have long-reaching consequences. You may get married or actively seek someone suitable for marriage.

Relationships are beneficial this year, helping you to expand your monetary and spiritual resources. If you are single, this year you can attract and perhaps marry a partner who is rich in the earthly or spiritual sense, or both. 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.

SATURN IN THE 9TH HOUSE
Saturn in the 9th house may mean a voyage taken for work, working with people from other cultures, attending a conference in another land, or even a career move to a foreign country. You may decide to do business internationally. You may be better advised to stay home and reassess your beliefs and plans. If you do move (temporarily or permanently) to a foreign country, you need to thoroughly prepare. Extravagant promises may lose you the respect of your friends, family or colleagues. You are made aware that you reap what you have sown and that you plant seeds now for the future. Examine your beliefs, learn from different cultures, and ensure you are living an honourable life within reasonable limits, without pompous expectations of yourself or others.

URANUS IN THE 1ST HOUSE
It is time to disclose your true nature and break free of any restrictions. If you are already living an authentic life, true to yourself, you may go through seemingly minor adjustments such as changing your physical appearance. Or, you may want to make a bigger statement by changing jobs, moving somewhere new, or starting a training that lights your fire. 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.

NEPTUNE IN THE 12TH HOUSE
Time to surrender your spirit to be renewed. Find time to meditate, listen to inspirational music, go on a spiritual retreat. The key this year is to find some way to escape your daily responsibilities and tune out. Other people are not to be trusted this year...not necessarily evil or deceitful...they just have their own agenda and don't necessarily have your best interests at heart. You are becoming more sensitive to body language….what is left unsaid. If you feel disillusioned, wondering if you are on the right path, learn to trust your own intuition and insights. Another reason you need an escape is to lay to rest distracting ghosts of the past, forgive hurts, so you can move forward. Your capacity for compassion, love and understanding deepen.

THE ASCENDANT IN SCORPIO
Your birthday chart Ascendant is in Scorpio, an intense sign --- urging you to discover your own emotional truth. You are sharply aware of the role that emotions play in people's interactions and decisions, and seek to discover emotional truths. Others may only be partly aware of the insights that you are gaining. Buried truths are likely to surface during this year. Perhaps you trusted someone, and discover all was not as it seemed.

THE MOON IN GEMINI
This Moon indicates a year when your feelings may feel somewhat out of kilter. Communication and listening are key. If you feel strong emotions, count to ten before you speak, or you may regret your words. It is a good time to reflect on your own emotional needs, what is important and what can be changed, but you may feel too busy to take time out make adjustments that should be made. You may feel irritable and argumentative with loved ones, stressed by disruptions. You need to take a cheerful approach, change what you can, and let go of the need to control what you can’t control. Events may trigger changes in your home life, neighbourhood issues may occupy your attention, appliances or your car may need repair.

You approach life in a methodical manner preferring the tried and true pathways of familiar territory. In fact the adventures of unexplored territories fill you with feelings of foreboding and you can be quite stubborn in your refusal to leave your secure surroundings. Much of your energy is spent on making your world secure. For this reason you're appreciated for your reliability and ability to provide a safe haven for others. Tradition appeals to you, and therefore you're often seen as a stalwart in society, taking on the more conventional roles. Your down-to-earth nature also means that you literally enjoy the fruits of the earth. You also enjoy the sensation of textures and tastes, often indulging yourself in the comforts and delights of the sensual side of life.

THE SUN IN THE 6TH HOUSE
It is time to focus on your lifestyle….change habits, start a new health regime, improve your organization skills, begin a new job, or even completely change scenery. Investigate any signals your body may be giving you, and have a health check-up. Time to focus on life’s details, the minutiae rather than the big picture. Does your car need service, does the faucet need a new washer, do your pets need vaccinations? If you have been putting off renovations then you may need to do some right now. Your role at work may change, become more demanding, perhaps you need to delegate tasks. You may change work places or employers, or become self-employed. Small animals may be a focus. Daily life is likely to be busier this year.

Nevertheless the time is right for you to be liberated from any negativity, and to find renewed purpose.

If single you may meet someone who challenges your single status which could lead you either to commit to staying alone, or commit to a serious relationship. If married then you may be more focussed on your partner's needs than your own. Any changes in your partner's life, are likely to affect your lifestyle. Joint decisions are likely to feature more largely. You may put some of your own plans on hold, or consider them in the light of your beloved's needs. Of course, this may challenge you to reassess the validity of your bond. The focus remains on the partnership and its effects on your life.

It's time for a change of scenery, or to alter your lifestyle. Daily habits come under the microscope. If you have a healthy and happy lifestyle then you only need make minor adjustments, but if you've formed bad habits you need to adopt healthy new ones, such as changing your diet, exercising or cutting back on work hours for more rest and relaxation. You may need to change jobs to work in a healthier environment. Your calendar is likely to fill with commitments, and you may need to start practicing the word "no". Pay attention to your anatomy, seek advice on any minor health problems, look for ways to de-stress such as yoga, meditation, tai chi or walking in nature. You may also enjoy working with small animals.

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 1ST HOUSE
During the this year you are likely to attract warm and loving friends. If you are single you may meet someone significant and fall in love, or perhaps enjoy a more fulfilling social life and attract a choice of lovers. If you are married your spouse features more prominently in your life, the romance and excitement rekindled. But there may also be challenges about how you relate...is it real, or a façade that protects you from being hurt, and if the latter are you comfortable with your image or is it time for a makeover? 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.

MARS IN THE 11TH HOUSE
This year strife is rife in groups, so you may wish to put more energy into work than social life. You may be impatient with friends or group/committee processes, or someone else may be causing trouble. You are torn between promoting your own goals, and helping others achieve theirs. Be wary of interfering with or asserting your will on others. Your intentions may be good, but they are your intentions, not necessarily those of friends or of the group, so avoid alienating friends and colleagues. You may feel that an obstacle stands in your path every time you try to join a group. You may take on a prominent organization or leadership role, or shine in any role that requires strong marketing, networking, advocacy, or public relations skills.

Your world is opening up. This year, identify your most prominent desires, reach for your dreams and make them happen.

SATURN IN THE 12TH HOUSE
This is a year of selflessness, a time where your needs come second to a person who is experiencing hardships. If you have a strong value system, you are likely to handle this year’s demands with aplomb. You may need to look after loved one, or maybe work with the downtrodden. For some it can be a loss, of employment, or a loved one. Memories and deep past emotions get triggered. If you had a poverty-stricken or traumatic childhood, you may do battle with grief, guilt, and perhaps trepidation. Avoid adopting a victim-mentality. Come to terms with the demons of your past, realize you are not powerless as when you were a child, and learn to develop emotional fortitude. Success this year comes as a moral victory.

URANUS IN THE 4TH HOUSE
Quite simply and literally you may move out of one house and into another. This could be nearby or far away. Or you could also stay in your current house, and redecorate or renovate. The planet Uranus is challenging you to find a home which represents your individual self, and it doesn't matter how eccentric your domestic wishes appear. You might be quite selfish about demanding a house that suits you, not other people. (Of course, this is easier if you live on your own.) If you are hesitant to impose your wishes on those you live with you could find this year challenging. If you resist the internal changes and your need for a house that reflects them you feel restless, and may be uprooted anyway.

NEPTUNE IN THE 3RD HOUSE
You are more contemplative than usual and might prefer to be silent this year, rather than have to communicate. Your mind is pre-occupied, and you need find avenues for escape or spirituality, or to indulge your imagination. You are very impressionable, and may be easily distracted. Avoid making big decisions, unless the process began before your last birthday, as you may not have all the facts, or someone may be making promises that they have no intention of keeping. Be wary of con artists. Your dreams may be more prolific. This is a time of assimilation rather than accumulation. This is your year to create a sacred space in your daily life so that you can have a deep conversation with yourself, and your God.

THE ASCENDANT IN ARIES
Your birthday chart Ascendant this year is in Aries, a sign of self-assertion and independence --- you have more of these qualities in your life this year. If you are usually more reliant on other people, this year you are champing at the bit to march to the beat of your own drum. You would like to act as you see fit, free of restrictions. You are self-motivated, more of a leader than a follower, ready to formulate new plans. Patience is in short supply this year, you are unlikely to wait for others, you want action. You may start new projects, a new relationship, or move into a new area.

THE MOON IN GEMINI
This Moon indicates a year when your feelings may feel somewhat out of kilter. Communication and listening are key. If you feel strong emotions, count to ten before you speak, or you may regret your words. It is a good time to reflect on your own emotional needs, what is important and what can be changed, but you may feel too busy to take time out make adjustments that should be made. You may feel irritable and argumentative with loved ones, stressed by disruptions. You need to take a cheerful approach, change what you can, and let go of the need to control what you can’t control. Events may trigger changes in your home life, neighbourhood issues may occupy your attention, appliances or your car may need repair.

THE MOON IN THE 3RD HOUSE
Communication is vital for you this year and you are likely to make your need for communication known. This an emotionally charged need - to connect to your siblings, loved ones and other like-minded individuals. You need those closest to you to listen and respond appropriately to your needs, and may turn your attention to loved ones who have not been communicative. Find an outlet for your pent-up emotions and your thoughts, an avenue to express your feelings, as this is important for your own mental health. If you are normally a quiet person then your need to interact may surprise others. You may express your feelings through writing, art or other forms of expression. Your intuition is strong. Neighborhood issues may stir your emotions.

You need to face emotional truths and make changes or your health may suffer. Let go of unnecessary emotional burdens, particularly hurtful memories, abusive relationships and unhealthy habits. Don't let your emotions rule you but use your thoughts positively. One chapter of your life is closing and the next begins, and you will discover renewed vitality and a sense of carrying a lighter load. When you look back on this year you will view the changes in a positive light, feeling that a new episode of your life is starting, with a clean slate.

A new chapter of study, such as astrology, religion or philosophy may open up new vistas. People in high places may encourage, or even sponsor, you to pursue your talents in foreign lands.

ASPECTS OF THE SUN
CONJUNCTION THE MIDHEAVEN Orb 4°58' Separating
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 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 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 10TH HOUSE
Decisions that you make now are likely to change the course of your life. You are able to see your future if you stay on your existing path, and know what needs changed. You are keen to change your status while maintaining, or improving, your reputation and are aware of consequences, so your actions are likely to be well-considered. You may consult experts for advice. The respect of your superiors, peers and family is important. Communications, negotiations, and networking are now. Your decisions may take effect immediately prompting a change of career, marriage or public status, or perhaps plans made now take effect in the future. If you are in a position of authority then you are mindful of your responsibilities, and the necessity to make sensible choices.

VENUS IN SCORPIO
The planet of love in a Water sign this year indicates that you seek sensitivity and understanding in love, and are more likely to be focused on caring and sharing than material matters. Feelings are important right now. If you are single, you yearn for someone who is simpatico, sharing or supporting your passions. You are well advised to avoid anyone who expresses harsh words. If attached, you enjoy relaxing with your loved one in beautiful natural surroundings, at artistic or inspirational events, or perhaps even on a spiritual retreat. The key is for you to feel emotionally safe and in tune with your partner. Look at other aspects of your annual chart for more details on your love life and money matters.

VENUS IN THE 8TH HOUSE
Hidden forces affect your love life as you are about to come face to face with strong feelings about an intimate relationship. If single there may be a magnetic attraction to someone who represents your hidden desires. This may cause you to seriously question your own needs and desires when it comes to marriage and commitment, perhaps facing a fear of intimacy. If married, perhaps there is a change of direction based on your own or your partner’s desires, and tension may arise as you both tackle previously suppressed feelings. Questions surrounding finances and sharing of material resources are also likely to arise. You may receive an expected monetary gift. Seasons have a profound effect on you as you seek pleasure and comfort warmer or cooler climates.

MARS IN THE 7TH HOUSE
The sparks are flying in your partnerships this year, with excitement, sexual tension, and energetic co-operation in business and personal affiliations. 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.

JUPITER IN THE 6TH HOUSE
This is a very busy year and you can achieve a lot. Just be wary of overloading your system. As long as you maintain excellent health you will tackle many household tasks, work-related chores and perhaps big projects. You are on a roll. If you feel tired then you have taken on too much, or you need to reassess your workload. An opportunity to be working in a job that you really enjoy arrives. If you are not enjoying your role you are likely to successfully apply for a different position. Enjoyment in your daily life is the key factor. Your colleagues are likely to note your enthusiasm and application and your reputation improves. You may receive a pay-rise, promotion, or some other recognition of your good work.

SATURN IN THE 8TH HOUSE
Money and sex are likely to be key factors this year. Analyse your income and expenditure, particularly shared finances. Household budgets, family investments, joint income, business ventures and inheritances need scrutinized. Go through your bills and paperwork and put your books in order. Seek advice on consolidating your debts. If you haven't paid your tax, then do so now or legal action is likely. If you have been financially diligent you may be rewarded, and need to consider what to do with your hard-earned money. On a personal level you are ready to face the truths within any of your intimate relationships. If you are satisfied you may pool resources, but if dissatisfied then you are likely to change, and perhaps dissolve a personal or business partnership.

URANUS IN THE 1ST HOUSE
It is time to disclose your true nature and break free of any restrictions. If you are already living an authentic life, true to yourself, you may go through seemingly minor adjustments such as changing your physical appearance. Or, you may want to make a bigger statement by changing jobs, moving somewhere new, or starting a training that lights your fire. 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.

NEPTUNE IN THE 12TH HOUSE
Time to surrender your spirit to be renewed. Find time to meditate, listen to inspirational music, go on a spiritual retreat. The key this year is to find some way to escape your daily responsibilities and tune out. Other people are not to be trusted this year...not necessarily evil or deceitful...they just have their own agenda and don't necessarily have your best interests at heart. You are becoming more sensitive to body language….what is left unsaid. If you feel disillusioned, wondering if you are on the right path, learn to trust your own intuition and insights. Another reason you need an escape is to lay to rest distracting ghosts of the past, forgive hurts, so you can move forward. Your capacity for compassion, love and understanding deepen.

THE ASCENDANT IN SAGITTARIUS

If you are usually more reliant on other people, this year you are champing at the bit to march to the beat of your own drum. You would like to act as you see fit, free of restrictions imposed by other people's expectations. Think of wild horses roaming free. Explore new fields of interest, areas that excite the spirit...travel, frequent the library, or explore the internet. This is a year of growth. What is important to your growth? What have you put off that you can longer resist? Which areas of your life need to be unshackled?

It is time for you to reconcile the many demands in your life, such as time spent at work compared to the time spent at home and loved ones. If these areas are well-balanced you now reap the benefits, but if you squandered opportunities in the past, you may now have to pay your debts. There may be some isolation from home and family while you put your life in order. It is time to knuckle down, work hard and face facts.

THE MOON IN THE 1ST HOUSE
You are in for a bit of a roller coaster ride as far as your feelings this year. Past hurts can be healed as you assess the role of your feelings in your own life, as well as on other people. Objectivity may be difficult as feelings are close to the surface. You may be somewhat self-centred, focused how you feel about yourself
rather than the welfare of others. You may reassess how you deal with the needs of your loved ones versus your own needs, and what support they give you. Embrace your feelings as the surface and find outlets to express them. Soothing activities can really help bolster your self-esteem and give you a new sense of vitality and renewal.

MERCURY IN THE 9TH HOUSE
This year you strive to develop your full potential by setting goals and achieving them. However if you have your mind stubbornly set on a particular path there could be arguments and opposition from others, and it is possible that your loved ones have entirely different ideas. Mercury can be a little tricky and you may have set your ideals too high, or perhaps you are not free to set off quite yet. It is time to make plans, discuss options and remain adaptable. Your lesson is diplomacy --- to negotiate your way along the path. A person or event can trigger a quest for knowledge. By the end of the year you may have achieved your goals, or at least are on the desired path.

You may reach a crossroads and question which path to take on life's journey...stay on your current path with occasional adjustments or veer off on a different course. Either way, time to take note of the signposts. These can be internal signals (are you following your heart’s desires?) or external sources triggering opportunities to learn and change.

Logic rather than emotion plays a part in your own decisions.

relationships. You demand an intimacy and honesty in your life that can be challenging to others. In fact you're an excellent counsellor as you're insightful and not frightened of tackling the minefield of emotions which surround subjects such as death, sexuality and metaphysical experiences.

You may end a current relationship, or fall much more deeply in love with your partner. Ultimately this is your year to discover the meaning of love, whether this is through love and partnership, or as a result of a stronger union with God, or your higher self, depending on your beliefs.

Social interactions might not be much fun. You are likely to be restricted, even lonely, while you concentrate on learning your lessons, and your tasks.

Enter the imaginative world of children and delight in their company. Believe a little in ‘magic’ like they do. Honour, respect, protect and cherish romantic love. Pursue any latent artistic talents. You can indulge in some fantasies about what or who is your passion. This year you can let your imagination flow and deal with the practicalities later, as long as you are not gambling your life savings, or risking your health and wellbeing.

THE ASCENDANT IN VIRGO
Your birthday chart Ascendant this year is in Virgo, an intellectual sign --- emphasizing your need to have a more logical approach during this year. Logic rather than emotion plays a part in your own decisions. It is time for you to embrace a healthier lifestyle, take better care of yourself, so that you have a good balance of mental and physical health. You may change your diet, exercise regime or give up a bad habit. Even if you are a highly disorganized individual, this year sees you get your act together. Cleanliness, hygiene, tidiness and orderliness are within your reach. You may also find that your powers of concentration are heightened and you learn new skills, make important plans and decisions for the future.

THE MOON IN TAURUS
This year the Moon sparks a need for security. Even if you are usually adventurous, you are likely feel an urge to put down roots. It may be caused by an event; you may just feel that the time is right to focus on the material; or perhaps a sensual relationship triggers your need for home and family. But you feel the need to put your financial house in order, perhaps seek new income avenues, build a sound foundation, and purchase items to make life more comfortable. You may fee keen to feel a sensual connection to your environment. As a result you may benefit from therapies such as massage, aromatherapy, and reflexology. Alternatively you may enjoy working in the garden, planting seeds and enriching the soil.

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.

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 4TH HOUSE
This year the Sun is in the fourth house of your Solar Return chart indicating that your home and family are the major themes, and it is your year to discover a true sense of belonging. You are being challenged to recognize who are your true loved ones, those relatives, friends or associates who are truly part of your family. You are also likely to reassess your home base --- is this the neighbourhood, town, country where you belong? Changes in your home environment to make it more suited to your current lifestyle, or moving somewhere better, are likely. You will probably spend more time at home. Perhaps you need to make room for an extra member of the family, a visitor, boarder or new baby.

ASPECTS OF THE SUN
SQUARE THE ASCENDANT Orb 2°10' Applying
Success is within your grasp this year, but you may have a few challenges along the road to accomplishment. Progress is one of the themes right now, as you reassess your ideas about yourself, your life and your aspirations. However, you are also aware of the factors that are needed to help you along the way. A little patience and persistence and you are likely to enjoy your time in the sun. Your success is not necessarily a public achievement. It could be a very private goal that you have been pursuing. Other factors in your annual chart can shed light on the major theme of this year.

OPPOSITION THE MIDHEAVEN Orb 2°37' Applying
This year the focus is more on your private life rather than career…the spotlight right now is on your home and family. If you live a solitary lifestyle, time to get your house in order….. clean, re-decorate, landscape, or renovate, or perhaps move to another location. If living in a family or communal situation, living arrangements are likely to change. You may need to make changes in your physical surroundings, and may also be required to focus on the needs of family members rather than on your own. The more that you can attend to the needs of your home and family the more that you are likely to be creating an environment in which you can shine further on your life journey.

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 4TH HOUSE
You recognize that it is time for changes to occur in your home life, time to alter the structure of your household. If young perhaps it is time to leave the family nest and go out into the world. For a mature adult you might move from a crowded shared household to living on your own, or from a quiet family unit to a busy one. The focus is on domesticity, living conditions and what they mean to you. Time to learn the importance of family and foundations in your life. If work and home are out of kilter, you may need to juggle your commitments. You could experience family members coming and going, babies born or older children leaving home. Good news may spark family celebrations.

VENUS IN SCORPIO
The planet of love in a Water sign this year indicates that you seek sensitivity and understanding in love, and are more likely to be focused on caring and sharing than material matters. Feelings are important right now. If you are single, you yearn for someone who is simpatico, sharing or supporting your passions. You are well advised to avoid anyone who expresses harsh words. If attached, you enjoy relaxing with your loved one in beautiful natural surroundings, at artistic or inspirational events, or perhaps even on a spiritual retreat. The key is for you to feel emotionally safe and in tune with your partner. Look at other aspects of your annual chart for more details on your love life and money matters.

VENUS IN THE 2ND HOUSE
This year you are able to attract just what you need...money to buy what you value, or gifts of things that you need. Someone close to you may support you financially while you follow your heart's desire. Your values around money and possessions may be changing and if you have less than usual you don’t mind (unless other chart factors add stress.) You trust that you have enough resources and are happy to spend less as you have gained something that boosts your self-esteem, or have more time to do what you love. This year you can balance your budget and still spend on pleasurable things. It is an ideal year to put money aside for something or someone truly valuable.

MARS IN THE 1ST HOUSE
This year you grow in independence, strength, and vitality, readily try new things, eager to meet life head on. You know if you are heading in the right direction if you are happy and healthy, making forward thinking decisions and achieving your personal goals. You confidentally take on the challenges of new opportunities which require initiative and a little risk. If you feel angry, undermined, and resentful, perhaps feel that someone is blocking your path, then you have gotten yourself in a holding pattern, reluctant to let go of security, either going about things in the wrong way or expecting co-operation from unrealistic quarters. Selfish actions backfire. You are responsible for your actions, so make changes if needed, particularly if they improve your health and happiness.

JUPITER IN THE 12TH HOUSE
The more you support others this year, the better you will be. Even if embroiled in some tricky situations, you have the uncanny ability to make gold from any situation as long as you honour others and yourself. Situations this year are likely to have ramifications for years to come. You're more wise to work behind the
scenes rather than taking on a public role, for if you step into the public arena you may seem undeserving. Anything other than humility can backfire. Your good works won't go unnoticed. You may spend time working or volunteering in an institution such as a hospital museum. If actively in public you benefit greatly from extended periods of seclusion. You may profit from ancient spiritual teachings, or from a metaphysical reading.

SATURN IN THE 3RD HOUSE
You are more likely to concentrate on work than pleasure this year. A project may demand concentrated effort, or you may have significant decisions to make. Perhaps you realize the consequences of past verbal or written interactions. You learn that sometime silence is golden and others times detrimental. You may feel overburdened by too many tasks and suffer mental fatigue. Time to learn from past mistakes, learn new skills. Honour current commitments which will gain you the respect of others. Social interactions might not be much fun. You are likely to be restricted, even lonely, while you concentrate on learning your lessons, and your tasks. Perhaps you are considering making an important promise to someone, or perhaps you are deciding to end an association. Keep your own counsel.

URANUS IN THE 7TH HOUSE
This year you discover new ways of relating. Whether you are single, in a conventional marriage or an unusual partnership, it is time to change how you relate. This is your opportunity to break free of outmoded relationship patterns and roles. If you live alone you enjoy your freedom. You may meet someone exceptional, but either you or your lover prefers no commitment. If in a committed partnership, your roles may be reversed or upset this year, and one or both of you is likely to experience a change that keep you guessing. If you instigate the variations you need to assert your desire for difference, but have patience with your partner. If the change originated with your partner, go with the flow, don’t try to control things.

NEPTUNE IN THE 6TH HOUSE
The time has come to sanctify your body. The best way of being of service to others is to have a healthy body and mind. Reflect on your daily habits with a view to cleaning up your act, slow down and rest, eat healthier food. Dream of your ideal exercise, be it swimming, the gym, dancing or bushwalking. You may also want to introduce new spiritual practises such as daily meditation. Any illness experienced tells you that you need to offload more toxins, whether physical ones, or emotional. 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.
