The Year Ahead

Forecast for November 2006-November 2007

A Full Moon in your Solar Return chart marks this as a year of great personal significance, when major new beginnings, endings, and activities occur. This period is the culmination of a stage of personal growth and development. Events at this time may bring to a head various developments in your emotional, psychological, or spiritual life over the past several years. There can be increased activity in your professional and public life, causing a conflict with your domestic and personal goals. You might find yourself in high demand. There is little moderation in your life this year. Connections are made or ended; or your job focus may change as one path fades to make way for a new direction. The year ahead is certain to be a very busy, dynamic, and significant period in your life.

Around the time of your birthday, the Sun and Mars trine Uranus, and this opens up many new possibilities to you. Exciting (not jarring) changes and new interests characterize the period ahead. It’s easier than ever to express your unique individuality, and if this involves changing careers or jobs, it’s something that takes you forward into unexplored territory. You are more willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations this year. You are able to find creative solutions to problems now. Your personality is sparkling, which is sure to attract new circumstances and people into your life. You may lose some of your fears of taking risks, and happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary. Bursts of creativity and energy that help you to further your goals, as well as the ability to spot an opportunity when you see one, make it easier than usual to break free from habits that have previously held you back from going after what you want in life. Flexibility is the key to success this year!

However, Neptune figures strongly in your Solar Return chart, and some caution with your personal finances, social relationships, and career path is in order. Most importantly, you should do your best to watch out for tendencies towards self-deception. Things might look too good to be true, simply because you want to see the best. Relationship ups and downs are possible, as romantic "mirages" are likely to present themselves. The "highs" of a relationship may be thrilling, but the accompanying "lows" can be draining. Uncertainty may characterize your love relationships this year. Be careful not to set yourself up for disappointment. The same goes for finances. You should do your best to avoid self-defeating thinking, as well as the tendency to make decisions without first verifying facts. Some confusion about where you are headed in life is quite likely. A noncommittal attitude in your personal life could leave people in your life feeling frustrated with you as you attempt to find yourself. During this time, you may be unsure where to direct your willpower. There is a reason behind this "identity crisis"--you are learning to let go of ego attachments. Your self-image is being re-worked, and you are becoming more sensitive to a greater, perhaps more spiritual, sense of purpose. Because the Sun is also in favorable aspect to Uranus, flexibility and an open mind will serve you well at the end of the day. However, do try to take off the rose-colored glasses when it comes to new financial initiatives and romance. If you don't, you could be in for some disappointment when things fail to measure up to your dreams and ideals.

Note that Venus square Neptune tends to play out either in terms of finances or romantic relationships, and only occasionally both. Uncertainty in either of these areas is the theme, but this does not necessarily point to financial or romantic losses, by all means. It might point to, for example, a variable income that goes with the territory of self-employment, or a relationship that isn't quite as settled as you'd like it to be yet.

The Sun conjuncts both Venus and Mars in your Solar Return. This configuration indicates that personal magnetism runs very high this year, and that this has the potential for being an especially creative year. For some, it can be procreative! Your love life is likely to figure prominently. You have more initiative for getting things done independently this year. The desire nature is also strong, and you may enjoy increased sexual activity and physical activity in general. Playful competitiveness is likely to figure in relationships. This combination increases your sensuality, sex appeal, and animal magnetism. Marriage, or a significant union, could occur in such a year. The urge to be with a love partner is especially compelling. If you are not currently in a relationship, you are likely to be bold and to make the first move toward someone you are attracted to. Now is also a good time to engage in creative projects and to join with others in pursuing a common goal. Any artistic or musical talent you have can make you shine brightly in the year ahead. Activities that combine action or passion with grace are favored in this period--for example, dancing, playing music, and making art or love. If you are involved in competition, you could come out a winner. Attractions to people and/or to material objects can be quite impulsive. There is a vivacious quality to your manner that gets you noticed.

A preponderance of planets in your own sign, Scorpio, at the time of your birthday this year suggests that you are likely to be presented with many opportunities to take the initiative and to express your leadership capabilities. You are bound to feel especially comfortable in your skin this year. This is a year when you can go after what you want with increased chances of success.

2006 is a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it's a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It's a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and "chance" meetings are probable. Advice - take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don't strain yourself or actively try to expand.

2007 will be a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It's generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice - take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.
