Your Astro-Forecast begins on the next page. If the time period for an interpretation is, for example, given as "July 1, 2000 (June 15, 2000 to July 15, 2000)", then it starts in mid-June, reaches greatest intensity around July 1, and ends in mid-July. The first date listed is the time when the influence has reached maximum strength; we can call this date the "peak date". The influence starts on the beginning date, gradually increases in strength until the peak date is reached, and then it gradually fades out until the ending date is reached. An influence may last for as little as a few days to as long as half a year or so.

You may also notice that the same interpretation shows up periodically during the year; this is not unusual. In some cases the beginning and ending dates of the 2 influences are the same; the only difference between the 2 interpretations is the peak date. This means that this particular influence has two peak dates instead of one. It is even possible for there to be three or more peak dates for the same astrological influence. To eliminate redundant interpretations, you may be informed that the astrological influence also occurred earlier and that you should refer back to the previous occurrence of this interpretation.

You may be wondering what the abbreviations after the dates are. For example, you may see "Sat Conj Plu", "Ura Trine Nep", etc. These abbreviations are given for the benefit of astrologers and they show the astrological factor that is in effect.

We hope you enjoy your Astro-Forecast. For the benefit of astrologers, some technical details are given below.

Feb 25, 2000 (Jan 28, 2000 to Apr 2, 2000) Nep Conj Moon/Nep

You can be in an extremely sensitive state right now, open, vulnerable, without barriers to protect you. It can be a good time to get away from it all, to be quiet and get some rest. Even your physical strength could be reduced if you remain too open to the world around you. In spite of your compassion for others, you need to take care of yourself first. You can be imaginative, even inspired, if you give yourself the freedom to focus on your dreams.

Feb 26, 2000 (Feb 15, 2000 to Mar 7, 2000) Jup/Plu Oppos Ura

You are not about to put up with any opposition now. You can be adamant in your beliefs and highly resistant to anyone who tries to disagree with you. This is a time when you learn more about your needs to be free and your capacity to express yourself as a unique individual. But freedom has its price so be prepared to factor that into your plans.

Feb 27, 2000 (Feb 22, 2000 to Mar 3, 2000) Jup Conj Moon/Ven

You can feel especially attractive now, comfortable with yourself and the impact that you have on others. People respond to you favorably, treating you gently and with kindness. Your people skills can be functioning very well now so that you always make the right moves. It is a good time to receive gifts. If no one gives you one, buy yourself something nice.

Mar 1, 2000 (Feb 29, 2000 to Mar 2, 2000) Mars Trine MC

You can make your influence felt at this time and any efforts you make to advance your career or other important long-range goals will be very effective. Independent action, self-reliance, or taking on more of a leadership position are favored now. You have the green light!

Mar 2, 2000 (Feb 13, 2000 to Mar 21, 2000) Ura Trine Sun

This is an upbeat time, with increased enthusiasm and creativity. There is little resistance to your creative, spontaneous inclinations. This is a wonderful time for creative work and expression of any kind. Dance, music, artistic creativity, and scientific work are all benefited. Originality is highlighted and you are able to compose, design, and create things with fresh insight and originality.

You feel less constrained and hemmed in by circumstances and are able to enjoy activities with greater zest and spirit than usual. You can develop greater agility and fluency at this time. Dancers and musicians, for example, often develop more free-flowing, graceful styles and techniques during this period.

You are less resistant to change than usual now. You find it easier to accept new ideas and explore innovative areas. This is particularly helpful if you are normally conservative and rigid in your approach to life. Take advantage of this time to loosen up, develop greater enthusiasm, creativity, and gracefulness, and explore progressive, innovative ideas and activities.

Mar 2, 2000 (Feb 26, 2000 to Mar 7, 2000) Jup Conj Ven

If there is something that you have always wanted but felt that you could not afford, then your wait is over. You will buy it now, whether you can afford it or not! The urge to splurge is irresistible now, and your desires for good things can turn into cravings under this astrological influence. If you are dieting, it is likely that you will need to ease up a little. Of course, you should try to avoid unhealthful indulgence but asceticism is not in order either. This is a time to enjoy yourself.

You are in a fun-loving mood. Parties and other social occasions, especially of a festive nature, are likely to turn out better than expected. If there isn't a good party to go to, you may decide to throw one yourself - and be glad you did, because it will be fun.

You almost certainly will spend more money than you should, but you may also receive a bonus or gift. You have a lucky streak now that can bring you unexpected benefits - but don't use that as an excuse to throw it away at the races!

Mar 4, 2000 (Feb 20, 2000 to Mar 15, 2000) Sat Oppos Mars/Jup

You can take advantage of your organizational skills to help you choose the best strategies for achieving your goals. It is important for you to be patient as rushing things now could get you in trouble. If you keep your vision and plan carefully, you can succeed in your ventures. However, you could also experience the doubts, fears and delays of others which can inhibit the progress of your projects. Stay cool, stay on course, and take your time.

Mar 9, 2000 (Feb 20, 2000 to Mar 30, 2000) Ura Oppos Mars

Courageous and undaunted, you step boldly forth, assert yourself, and charge ahead. If you are normally shy and receding, you will burst out of your shell now. If you are a strong and aggressive person, then you will try to take full command of every aspect of your life and force weaker personalities to submit to you and support you.

Impatient and dynamic, you work feverishly to bring projects that have been ongoing for some time to a rapid completion. You take on Herculean tasks and expect to accomplish them almost overnight. You feel tired of waiting for the things you want, and you charge forth to claim them. Find a task to do and do it! This is one of the worst times to take a relaxing vacation because you won't be able to relax; you have too much that you want to do right now. If you do vacation, activities like sky diving or white water rafting suit your taste now.

This can be a volatile and explosive time. If you have a bad temper, then you will need to do everything possible to stay in control of yourself at this time. Pent up anger and hostility surfaces, and relatively minor things can cause you to become upset and angry. You are particularly prone to arguments, disagreements, and power struggles with others. You are inclined to not realize how pushy you are, and others may rebel against you. Make bold steps forward now and work hard, but try not to be inconsiderate of others in the process. Energetic physical activity is almost a must and will make you feel better and accomplish more.

Also, you may attract domineering people to yourself, and you may need to assert yourself. This problem is particularly likely if you try to repress and deny the powerful energies that you are dealing with now. Be forthright and direct (that should be easy) but also try to be tactful too (which is not so easy).

Your daredevil attitude may cause you to try dangerous activities or take risks that you normally would not consider. Do be reasonable, however, as your impatience and boldness makes you more accident-prone than usual.

Business decisions and career decisions now tend to be too risky and also warped by your impatient need to accomplish everything in an unrealistically short amount of time.

Mar 9, 2000 (Feb 20, 2000 to Mar 31, 2000) Ura Conj Asc

During this time period, you cast off some of your old roles and adopt new ones. You take a fresh approach to life and your personality undergoes major changes. Your role and position in life now strikes you as limiting, and you experiment with new life styles. For example, you may decide to dress differently, change your hair style, or act in a more spontaneous, less conventional manner. You will find yourself tired of being "Bill the businessman", "George the hippie", "Sally the mother and housewife", or "Jane the quiet, intelligent one". Whatever image and role you play in life is likely to be shattered at this time. George the Hippie cuts his hair and Sally the mother takes a vacation to have time for herself.

Now is the time to break out of some of the molds that you have become accustomed to. Even if your role and position in life is natural and fulfilling to you, there is still the need to explore new attitudes, approaches, and styles now. Don't hold back this impulse; if you try to refrain from making changes, you will find yourself becoming very restless and dissatisfied with your current situation.

This time period is an unstable one, and you may encounter some unexpected changes. It is possible that your life will not change dramatically, but the possibility of unexpected changes in career or family life often occur during this astrological influence. Be prepared for unexpected major changes if they arise.

Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate.

Mar 11, 2000 (Feb 10, 2000 to Aug 15, 2000) Nep Qucnx Plu

Deep forces in the collective are at work, which you may experience as a subtle dissolution or disintegration of beliefs, attitudes, and attachments. These changes are profound, yet rather gradual. Nevertheless, adjustments and resistance to relinquishing the old can be stressful. Spiritual renewal through inner exploration, service, and a concern for external values is the most positive possibility at this time. If you are not so inclined, however, this can be a distressing period during which a subtle, chronic unease or disease plagues you.

Mar 11, 2000 (Mar 4, 2000 to Mar 17, 2000) Jup/Sat Oppos Nep

You can commit yourself to a dream right now. You may have the perspective, the optimism and the practicality to turn ideals into reality. Along the way, of course, you may have to let go of old fantasies which are no longer appropriate. Your careful planning and management of your dream can be a real contribution to humanity.

Mar 15, 2000 (Jan 31, 2000 to June 30, 2000)Nep/Plu Oppos Merc

Communications can become a bit muddled at this time if you are not careful. Perhaps you are not getting your ideas across clearly. Or it could simply be that others are withholding information from you. In either case, it may be worth your time to go over details more than once. Be aware of the consequences of what you say as others may misinterpret you and overreact. This requires much subtle thinking and sensitivity on your part.

Mar 21, 2000 (Feb 18, 2000 to Aug 4, 2000) Nep Conj Ven/Nep

One part of this cycle indicates a very high degree of romantic feelings and romantic needs. You may want to escape ordinary reality and can have less interest in the practical side of relationships. Your sensitivity and compassion can be wide open now, your feeling for beauty at its peak. Enjoy the magic of the moment but try to keep reasonably grounded in dealing with money and investments of the heart.
