This astrological forecast report is based on an astrological technique known as solar returns. The influences begin approximately on your birthday and last until the following birthday.

Your Solar Return Forecast Report begins on June 8, 2000.

The zodiac signs on the Ascendant and MC, and the house position of the Ascendant ruler at the time of the solar return are described below. Your social and career opportunities for the coming year are influenced by these signs and house placement.

Solar Return Ascendant Leo :

BE A LEADER
USE YOUR CREATIVE ENERGY

You will be courageous, proud and somewhat egotistical this year. You never get even with people who have done you wrong, you just write them off your guest list of life having very little to do with them.

You are an incurable romantic and dreamer, and are perfectly capable of making dreams a reality. In your career you need a position where all of that Leo energy can shine through. A job in the background would stunt your growth and creativity leaving you bored to death. You make an excellent leader and because of this you do not take direction or orders from others very well. Careers that allow your creative energy to shine, that bring forth your outstanding and dramatic abilities are what you seek.

You will be much more proud and stubborn now, finding it very difficult to break undesirable habits and behavior patterns. Your stamina can also be a wonderful asset, and you can easily inspire others to be their best. Once you are motivated, you seldom hesitate to act on it, but do have your bouts with laziness to contend with. Leo loves to buy the best, but be careful as you can go overboard in overestimating your needs. Leo is ruled by the Sun, ruler of willpower and ego, and on the negative side you can be a manipulative power monger. You are apt to be intensely self absorbed, and god forbid you should ask for assistance from others, as this is a sure sign of weakness. Generosity and warmth wins many friends, and your inspiration for others is also a plus this year. Creative abilities, art, music, entertainment and communications fields are where your efforts will be placed. Health wise, overwork, heart problems, lower back pains and complaints, anxiety and overindulgence in the good life can be expected to some degree this year, as they are the most vulnerable points in your health.

You have great respect for people who are solid like yourself and when you make friends, it isn't half way, it is all the way. People can count on your trustworthiness, sincerity and know that when the chips are down, you will be there and you expect the same from others. Although you love to "give" of yourself, you need the recognition, a pat on the back or a simple thanks for the effort.

The proud Lion would never allow anyone to see him/her suffering from misfortune or vulnerable to the world around them, but still there are those infrequent times when even the best of us get down in the dumps. You are known for your courage and strength of character, and other people recognize it and you draw them to you for their own support and source of inspiration.

Yes, you are somewhat self centered this year, and what mark you can make on the world in the name of self expression is your forte. Do the best that you can, and the world can use you as a model for their own gain and inspiration. Look to the house where the SUN is located to see where you SHINE this year.

Ascendant is in Leo, Aries Decanate

Ruled by the planet Mars, you will be very impulsive and strong willed, courageous and independent. Fortunately you will give more than you receive, which is a blessing. You will have the energy to make all of your ambitions come true, but on the negative side you must keep your temper and your aggressive nature under control.

Ruler of Ascendant in 10th house

With the Solar Ascendant Ruler in the Solar 10th house, this is where you look to create who you are in life through your career, how other people identify who you are, your status in life and the accomplishments you make this year.

Solar Return MC Taurus:

Since this is the most "visible" part of the solar chart, it represents how you are actually seen in the world by others. It represents your more outward or public face and where you are likely to encounter success, and your reputation in the world. Your goals include the ability to accomplish things with the speed of glue. This is an asset because you will never forget the fine details and finishing strokes that make projects into masterpieces. Every action you employ is well thought out, organized, filed, cross referenced and above all methodical. You can work for hours on projects that people have lost interest in.

Taurus located here this year wants to go after a career that is worthwhile through monetary gain. Careers in art (investing or painting), music, banking, investment and finance, real estate ventures, agriculture, architecture, landscaping and conservation. Since Taurus is ruled by Venus, flowers, leather, jewelry, and wood are areas of strong interest. In relationship matters, Taurus is more stable and social, and should be much more happy and fulfilled.

Once you have a project finished, I defy anyone to try to make changes in your presentation. This is where your stubborn and strong willed nature is stimulated and the symbol of the Bull emerges. Like the homing pigeon who flies home the same way every time, you do everything in your life the same way, day after day even if you hate the routine while complaining at the same time.

You are considered to be rock hard, headstrong, opinionated, solid, reliable and dependable. You are sensible and practical in all matters and your appearance is cool, calm and collected, and unemotional most of the time, which masks a great strength which is an asset to you in times of struggle. Security on the job, finances which balance in your favor and a home which is your piece of the rock are utmost important to you.

You have an enthusiastic approach to all things beautiful, whether love or art forms, and can be quite at home among nature. You have magnetic qualities which makes people feel at home with you immediately. This is the spell you weave to get others into your web. Once inside you do not give them up easily, if at all. Jealousy and possessiveness are your shortcomings.

The zodiac signs on the other house cusps affect your attitude to many areas of your life, and have a significant impact on what kinds of opportunities and challenges will present themselves in the coming year.

Virgo on 2nd cusp:

With Virgo on the second house of money and possessions, you are very particular and exacting about money and possessions. Your financial picture is determined by what you can accumulate by using your mind with a greater attention to detail. You are very careful with your finances, but you can become somewhat penny-wise and pound-foolish. You may save on small matters only to throw it all away on luxuries and expensive entertainment. Be careful money matters don't do you in through health matters, as you are apt to worry about money a lot. Look to the house containing Mercury to see where you can earn your money, most probably in service related industries.

Libra on 3rd cusp:

With Libra on the cusp of the third house of communication and learning, it shows that thoughts and ideas are expressed gracefully, and with a lot of class. Venus is the ruler of Libra, so there may be some shared artistic talent in your line of communication. Artistic and musical aspirations or interests will be very strong with this placement. You would make an excellent diplomat because you have very refined mannerisms. Family matters, dealing with neighbors, or the public are your forte, and will be approached in a friendly manner because you dislike any kind of conflict or confrontation. Look to the house where Venus is located to see where your interests can be found.

Scorpio on 4th cusp:

With Scorpio on the fourth house of the home, family, roots, real estate, property and security, you will have obsessive feelings about your home and family. Since Scorpio is such a secretive sign, whatever goes on in the home remains in the home, and you may not even tell yourself what is going on. There will be very strong protective and loyalty energies to the home and family structure. You can count on others to be there when the going gets tough, and because of this you expect loyalty and respect in return. Scorpio likes breathing room and spacious areas to wander. A home in the woods in the middle of nature would be your slice of heaven. Look to the house where Mars/Pluto is located to see where your home security can be found.

Sagittarius on 5th cusp:

You have Sagittarius on the fifth house of Children, recreation, romance, creativity, artistic abilities, hobbies, writing books (creatively), speculation and investments. You will do everything in a big way, and spoil everyone around you, this includes children. With Jupiter here, it will be hard to keep tabs on you as you jet off to some exotic location, living the good life. Gambling, speculation and investments are at the top of your list of things to do everyday. You have a good handle on young people and their needs, and would make an excellent parent or provider. You will respect their rights as individuals and earn their respect in return. Look to the house where Jupiter is located to see where you might find your recreation and romance potential.

Aquarius on 6th cusp:

You have Aquarius on the cusp of the sixth house of Work, Work environment, responsibilities, health, work and service for others, relationships with employees and co-workers, and your interest in physical fitness. You need an adventure or something totally unique in work, service and health. New age revelations, science, breakthroughs in technology, computers, music and a laid back atmosphere. You make great friends to co-workers, remaining a bit cool and detached, working your best within the structure of groups. Your nerves and nervous system are a bit fragile and need special attention. Look to the house where Uranus is located to see where you might find work or service to others.

Aquarius on 7th cusp:

Relationships, partnerships, marriage, people you have close associations with, cooperation or lack of, contracts, and legal matters are all part of the seventh house, with Aquarius located here. You will require a great deal of independence and freedom if relationships are going to work at all. The more you need to keep others in check, the more freedom is needed. In order to make relationships work, you must approach them as friends first, and emotionally you are likely to remain detached. Look to the house that contains Uranus to see how you will deal with partnerships.

Pisces on 8th cusp:

The eighth house deals with joint resources. Possessions that are not earned directly by you, but obtained through the relationship, wills, or pensions. It also has to do with money belonging to others such as taxes, corporate money, insurance, and the stock market. The eighth house also relates to the mysteries of life and sex. Pisces will have an influence on the above matters by bringing worry and concerns over finances for no real reason, but that won't stop you from worrying anyway. Material aspirations are not a strong part of your life now, and you are happy living the moment. In matters of spirituality, there will exist a strong intuition and psychic abilities. Legacies are apt to be a source of disappointment for you because of hidden obstacles and deceptions connected with it. Look to see which house Neptune is located in, to see where your joint money can be found.

Aries on 9th cusp:

The ninth house is the house of long range goals and long distance travel. Religion, philosophy and higher education are ninth house matters. With Aries ruling the ninth house, you will be optimistic in your plans goals and desires. You will be aggressive when making and following through on plans, and can easily visualize where you want to be this year. Look to the house where Mars is located to see where your interests in higher aspirations can be found.

Gemini on 11th cusp:

The eleventh house has domain over achievement of goals and objectives, and hopes and wishes. Humanitarian efforts, clubs, groups, associations, sharing ideals are also associated with the eleventh house. People that support your efforts, friends and connections to the outside world can be found in this house. With Gemini located in the eleventh house, the focus turns to personal connections with people who have the same intelligence, humor and wit as you. Making friends comes easy for you, and your sense of humor is heightened with this placement. You will happiest when you are with other people, but need constant mental stimulation to be happy. Look to the house where Mercury is located to see where you might find your friends, associations and group involvements and interests.

Leo on 12th cusp:

The twelfth house rules the subconscious mind, problems arising from unseen causes, and limitations in our lives. This house has rulership over behind the scenes activities, emotional problems, secrets, deceptions, problems to overcome, the side of ourselves away from public view, where the soul can step back and take a look at the world around us. The twelfth house also has rulership over prisons, hospitals, and other institutions that would remove you from society. Leo energy on the twelfth house indicates that you operate life from behind the scenes, the power behind the throne. It takes the dominating side of Leo, and represses it. With Leo here, you will spend a great deal of time by yourself. Look to the house where the Sun is located to find that area in which you retire from public view.

The placement of the Sun in the solar return chart is very important and affects almost every area of your life!

Sun in 10th house:

The Solar Sun is now in your 10th house. But what does the position of the Solar Sun mean to you and how will it affect your life this year? The Sun indicates where the greatest growth will take place during the Solar Year and how it can express itself through creative means, success and recognition in life, or where it can be best identified.

It's your year to shine. The spotlight is on you this year on a small or large scale. Make sure you don't have a good reason to stay out of the limelight though, we don't want any bad deeds popping up on us do we? A great deal of responsibility can come your way now and parental or family difficulties can arise. Remember to use "honesty" as your key word while the Solar Sun resides here as dishonesty will not fool people, so try to be yourself! Look at the aspects to the Solar Sun this year to see what you can accomplish.

Sun square Moon:

Pride can really get you in trouble, especially this year. You may easily offend others with what you say, so try to be more considerate of others. Disagreements will occur with everyone around you, because it's just one of those years when it cannot be avoided. Authority over you can be questioned and your reactions will be less than tolerable. Stress is caused by inner conflict that is unresolved during this year. Try to find the cause of that turbulence in your life.

A loss of confidence is possible this year and you may want to spend some time by yourself. Differing value standards can cause disagreements so find a way around obstacles rather than through them. You can expect to be somewhat irritable, upset, emotional or frustrated this year. Avoid spending for the next year because you will only buy junk you didn't need and when this is over you'll admit it to yourself. Save yourself some money and don't gamble this year.

Sun conjunction Venus:

An optimistic outlook and a desire to cooperate with others is present. Plan or take part in social activities or put your energies into creative outlets, because this is an excellent time for artistic self expression. Relationships are highlighted, but use caution because overindulgence of any kind are likely in this year. New love interests can touch you very deeply this year. Matters of money can play a very important part of your life at this time.

Clear perceptions highlight this year so buy some artwork, go take part in the pursuit of fun and good times or bring good feelings and peace to others. Play the lottery or other speculative venture, but remember that Venus represents small wins as compared to Jupiter's large wins. You are the optimist who is happy and cheerful.

Sun conjunction Mars:

Use a lot of restraint when dealing with others to avoid confrontations. The self confidence and assertion level is high so be careful not to use force as a means to an end. Games of competition, physical exertion or sports are highly favored or try a workout at the gym.

In the business sector, there can be an active influence to be number 1, but don't step on other people in the process. The danger this year is being too IMPULSIVE, getting yourself into trouble. Start new projects this year, especially if it involves a good physical work out. One of the problems with this year is working around sharp objects of any kind, or machinery because the possibility of injury is increased.

One of the unfortunate definitions of this influence is being "The Bully", so tone yourself down! Courage is a very positive attribute here in the face of danger to see you through it and you will not be afraid of anything. On the negative side you must be careful not to lose control, lose your temper or get into arguments that CAN lead to violence. The sex drive is strong as well as the pursuit of "lust" disguised as "romance" is in high gear.

Sun trine Uranus:

The wheel of fortune can easily bring possibilities for advancement, or a desire to learn something new. This is a great year for a second honeymoon and this year favors buying or playing with some new electronic gadgets or toys. Wonderful creative insights can fill your head this year, so try and use them for your own advantage. Social activities increase and whatever you tackle should work out very well.

This is a wonderful influence for a family gathering and the grasping of new ideas will be very easy for you this year. A time of increased popularity has found you and exciting adventures can be experienced. Some mild speculations can be rewarding as well.

Romantic encounters or relationships that start this year are guaranteed to be ELECTRIC in nature. Some sort of sudden turn in your life can easily occur that will have you looking at things in totally new ways. You may suddenly decide to move or change your vocation. Creativity is blessed with new concepts, ideas and form.

Sun semisextile MC:

You are positive and energized, ready to make positive changes. Career goals are right on track, so don't mess it up! Try doing some decorating around the home or office to give it a warmer appearance. Goals are active and determined. Pay careful attention to details because your impulsive nature may miss a key element. Be a leader this year, the time is right!

The placement of the Moon in the solar return chart affects emotions, moods, domestic affairs and relationships with women during the coming year.

Solar Return Moon in 1st house:

The Solar Moon is now in your 1st house. The Solar Moon rules your emotional needs and the specific houses show where your needs will lie and be met for the next 12 months. The Moon shows where significant changes will take place during the year, and where relationships are formed.

There is a greater sensitivity to your immediate surroundings this year. Feelings are rather fragile and you can be easily hurt. Remarks made by others whether intended or not can leave permanent scars on our delicate emotions. The down side of this placement is that there is a tendency to get lost in the world of our own feelings and take things much more personally than at other times. It is the same old story, what do we do when we are emotionally upset? One of three things. We go on buying sprees, lose our tempers or we eat, of course!

Avoid making any decisions on impulse alone wait until this phase passes and then reevaluate your thinking. If we look deep inside to our sensitivity, we might be able to see the needs that others have as well. If the Solar Moon faces stressful aspects while in the 1st house, there can be some ego confrontations with others or family problems can arise.

Moon sextile Mercury:

If you have to sign any papers, this year is the time to do so. Enhanced mental faculties exist this year and a good grasp of all situations and sound judgment is present. Dexterity will come easily in oral or written forms as well. Expect to be active, perceptive, more compassionate and sympathetic, protective and thoughtful to people in your environment. Be ready to receive pleasant messages and news and consider this an excellent year for being alone to meditate. Opportunities will arise during this year for you to express yourself or commit yourself to situations.

Moon square Venus:

You are in the mood for loving this year, but don't ruin the moment by being possessive. There is a strong need to share your feelings with another and moodiness, overindulgence in food, drink and the finer luxuries in life are the only dangers.

Moon square Pluto:

Emotional issues will be charged creating some very negative conditions. Do not become involved in the jealous reactions of others or those feelings within yourself. People around you will appear unresponsive to your advances, and distant emotionally. You will be much more independent and rebellious to others in your environment, and separations, alienations and withdrawing from society can occur. Health wise you may experience an increase in nervousness, emotional stress and compulsive behavior.

Moon semisquare Node:

Emotional problems can interfere with professional and domestic matters this year and this is an UNFAVORABLE time for real estate transactions, domestic or business purchases and for professional or family dealings that involve women or the public.

Moon trine MC:

Meeting new women in your environment can have a very positive effect on you this year and success will be found dealing with the public. You have the ability to make changes in your life at this time, should you have the desire to do so.

The placement of Mercury in the solar return chart affects communication, and your ability to learn and express yourself during the coming year.

Solar Return Mercury in 11th house:

Mercury is in your 11th house, and indicates areas of interests in your life this year, as well as health matters or where your thoughts are likely to be focused. Because Mercury "is" communication of every form, it shows where transactions, business deals, service to others, writing and communication will be focused.

Communications increase with friends and groups of people as well as younger people or ones with different view points. Short trips increase and you may gain some sudden new insights. If Mercury receives stressful aspects while in the 11th house, there can be ideas initiated that are unpractical or you may receive some very bad advice.

Mercury SemiSquare Jupiter:

Meet others' half way and form a compromise with all of the people you come into contact with this year. You may be prone to daydreaming which fouls up a job or project and communications or business with people at a distance will be disappointing.

This is an adverse year for any business transactions, so protect all money transactions to avoid losses. Realism and thrift can help the tendency to overbuy needles items that will be regretted later. THEFTS are possible, you need to be on guard, this includes mistakes at the cash register in the stores favor, leaving you on the short end. Don't make any promises you cannot keep no matter how sincere they are.

A time of confusion and exaggerations surrounds your life and you may receive misinformation about something or little white lies disguised as truths. Confirmed appointments can be cancelled or postponed and meetings and communications should be left alone. If you have to travel remember your mind isn't on what is going on, so see if you can make that trip at a more favorable time.

Mercury Quincunx Pluto:

A danger of this year is forcing your point of views on others, or just coming on too strong with your opinions. If you handle it diplomatically however, you can enlighten people around you with your views that shed light on an issue. Compulsive thinking this year can cause confusion and a serious frame of mind. This is a difficult time for business and no contracts or agreements should be formulated.

Conditions are right for fraudulent misrepresentations and the possibility for THEFTS or misunderstandings is very high. This is a good time to avoid people trying to sell you anything over the phone. News concerning the death or end of a project, business or financial agreement or arrangement can occur.

The placement of Venus in the solar return chart affects romance and friendship over the coming year.

Solar Return Venus in 10th house:

Venus is in your 10th house this year. Venus is the Goddess of love and where you might find it and money matters and how you will handle it or what you might spend money on. Venus shows where you are likely to find compatibility with love or money, or where favors can be found from others.

Business matters, your profession and career are highlighted. Redecorate the office, buy artwork, or new love relations with older people can be found at the workplace. Success is highlighted with the opposite sex and people who are in authority will be very receptive to your ideas and can be beneficial in rendering support to your cause. The boss might be looking pretty good right now and a little love adventure is possible. If Venus makes a harsh aspect while in the 10th house, you might be tempted to use your status to gain favors both materially and sexually from others.

Venus trine Uranus:

New and interesting acquaintances can suddenly arise, and someone may charm the pants off you, or perhaps there will be some renewed soul contacts from the past. Your intuition is activated this year and will prove to be right on target.

Short lived relationships can arrive that will prove to be quite amazing, but they are likely to be physical attractions rather than intellectual ones. Gains can come from unseen sources, and is favorable for buying, making changes in your life, beautifying or just splurging on a favorite hobby, pleasure or shopping trip.

Improvements and corrections can take place in your life that can send you off in totally new directions. Use new and unusual methods in your life rather than the old and traditional ones for best results. Creativity that surfaces should be quite exciting for you. Remember that when one door closes in your life, another opens.

Venus Semisextile MC:

This is not a year to be alone, so go to the park and introduce yourself to someone new. Be with friends and loved ones if you can, you will both enjoy and grow from the experience.

The placement of Mars in the solar return chart affects your drive, ambition, and vitality during the coming year.

Solar Return Mars in 10th house:

Mars is in your 10th house this year. Mars is the planet of intense activity and the house it occupies by placement shows where that activity will take place. Mars is aggressive and can be quite selfish in its needs and desires, so be careful how you utilize this tremendous energy. Mars also indicates where new ventures or projects can begin, where you will be highly motivated, where you can expect to be much more competitive, but also quarrels if aspected poorly.

This is the year to be your own boss or authority but be aware that parents, employers, bosses or government interference can stop your efforts if harshly aspected. You are anxious to be a somebody now and admiration and recognition can feed the flames of this fiery planet. Conflicts can be encountered with coworkers. New careers can be started because of your aggressive nature, but if Mars makes any difficult aspects while in the 10th house, you can adopt a demanding attitude in the career environment or cause conflicts to arise in business, career or profession.

Mars Semisextile Jupiter:

A strong attraction to all things that are beautiful exists this year. Take someone out to a candlelight dinner, or if you are an artist or compose or play music, this can be a very creative and inspiring time for you. Long distance journeys and dealing with people at a distance is highly favored and the ideals of people around you will be easier to understand. The sharing of philosophies of others is favored.

You are in a very content state of mind, and favors business, finance, foreign investments, medicine and law. Legal matters decided this year will work out quite well and new friendships can be stimulating and wonderful. Rest and recuperate rather than work if you can, as this is a rather lazy time.

Mars Semisextile Saturn:

Pending deals can this year be finalized with profits this year and you will be more cautious than usual in your dealings with others. Benefits can come through older people and in your daily routine, use old business standards rather than employing new ones. Progress in financial dealings is an important outcome of this time period.

New love relationships started will be with someone much younger or older than yourself and you will be more willing to make sacrifices for the sake of others as well and you will take your duties and responsibilities to others very seriously.

A positive side of this energy is the ability to purchase items from a standpoint of only what you need and let the luxuries of life wait until another time. Balance the books and budget your funds to keep your life in check. You are able to be more controlled in your affections, putting your emotions on hold.

Mars Semisextile Node:

The emphasis is on love and artistic pursuits and your physical attraction level is high. There is a sense of harmony and a very positive outlook on life. Love unions are probable as well as a love of humanity. Your associations will be with people who are out of the norm or somewhat bohemian in nature. Relationships that are formed can be quite obsessive, and relationships that are going along well this year can become obsessive as well.

The placement of Jupiter in the solar return chart determines in what areas of your life you are likely to have opportunities for growth and expansion during the coming year.

Solar Return Jupiter in 10th house:

Jupiter is in your 10th house this year. Jupiter tends to expand your efforts and brings good fortune and positive change to the house it occupies. Jupiter shows where favor will be found from others, education, spiritual matters, learning and teaching.

The emphasis is on profession, career, status, reputation and getting ahead in life this year, just be careful of being overbearing and arrogant with an overinflated ego that can become deflated at the most inopportune time. Promotions or public recognition is possible, confidence increases, change of working environment, seek favors from people in authority. This placement is beneficial to business and travel, law, politics, foreigners and teaching.

If Jupiter forms a difficult aspect while in the 10th house, you may abuse your position and use power for your own personal use, but please be advised that this is temporary and you can fall from your prominent position in disgrace because of your actions.

Jupiter conjunction Saturn:

Keep an eye on which way the wind blows in all matters and act accordingly and use caution. Utilize patience in all matters for the greatest rewards, as changes in status is possible in both profession and personal areas. There is a possibility that a change of residence may be coming this year or products that were purchased because you believed they were reliable can break down. Avoid any added constraints on your time and money and you may have strong feelings that you are unappreciated by others.

Duty and obligation to others can prove to be limiting and frustrating, and there can be an overwhelming desire to break free from any circumstances that can no longer be tolerated. When you make any commitment in written or spoken form, make sure you make and especially sign a contract. Use your common sense in everything that you do, and expect to be very serious minded in all areas of life. This year favors business and professional as well as new beginnings in any or all areas of life and any traveling done may be done for business purposes rather than pleasure.

Jupiter square Uranus:

YOU CAN SUDDENLY MAKE A CHANGE IN YOUR JOB OR DIRECTION IN LIFES WORK, WITHOUT ANY WARNING this year. Challenges will occur to money, difficulties arriving out of the blue and quite unexpectedly.

The need for change for the sake of change alone will be high. Risks will remain risks this year and are to be considered ones that will fail. You may have to take sudden and difficult long distance trips and find that dealing with foreigners or customs and modes of transportation will be extremely difficult. Be careful not to be rude with others because this can be a direct result of your own inner restlessness.

There will be a great need for sudden and new freedom in your relationships and dealings with others. You will not listen to the opinions of others very well either under this influence. Heated words with people in your environment and accidents is possible, and this is an unfavorable time for finding the money needed for that new project.

Adventures, changes in occupation, separations, divorce, moving and losses of money can accompany this influence. Business ventures are likely to fail as well.

Jupiter sextile Node:

There will be a noticeable increase in social contacts with friends and you will both look forward to and enjoy their company. Harmony in traditional educational, religious and social beliefs exists.

Jupiter square Asc.:

You can be somewhat GULLIBLE this year, accepting the words of others at face value. You will be unable to accurately read the intentions of people even though they "appear" to be well meaning. There will be a GREAT INCREASE IN YOUR SOCIAL life, as well as an attraction to alcohol and drugs. Any news that you hear about someone can be the result of "GOSSIP" and should be taken lightly until it can be verified, and not repeated anyway.

Review your present relationship, chances are you have taken it for granted and modifications need to be made. Don't make promises this year because they will be very difficult to keep for one reason or another, no matter how sincere your intentions are. Excessive debts and expenses can pop up on you and tie you down, and in the area of religion, education and cultural matters, you may find people at odds with your thoughts or beliefs.

You have taken on way to much work this year, how are you going to do it all? Are you the type of person who has 10 jobs started and is going to finish them all but never does? Be careful of friends whose only purpose is to use you for their own benefit and dump you afterwards. Hey, I never said it was going to be fair! You will meet people on a daily basis who will be in opposition to your great ideas. The problem is that you are trying to be someone special at a time when a more humble approach should be adhered to.

The placement of Saturn in the solar return chart determines where you will encounter obstacles, difficult lessons, and where discipline will be needed in your life during the coming year.

Solar Return Saturn in 10th house:

Saturn is in your 10th house this year. The purpose of the planet Saturn is to teach us and help us to mature in the houses associated with Saturn. The stronger we resist these changes, the stronger the effects will be felt until we submit to a more structured way of life. Saturn brings with it obligation, commitment, responsibility and a more serious demeanor. An increase in work, self control and discipline, as well as disappointment and delays, matters from the past returning, people in authority or government agencies.

If you have always wanted to be a leader somehow, this year is an auspicious time to take charge but remember it can also be a time for disasters. Sudden changes should be expected in status and reputation and promotions and recognition as well as increased responsibilities can occur. You will be working with older people, groups or business contacts rather than new age types. If Saturn makes a difficult aspect while in the 10th house, then difficulties with authority figures, governmental agencies, parents and employers can be encountered.

Saturn square Uranus:

There will be an inability to hear the opinions of other people and you may act in a rude manner because of your extreme restlessness. Delays that you experience this year are caused by circumstances that you cannot control and there will be frustrations with people whose ideas or viewpoints differ from yours, or you will notice that friends who are normally reliable will become somewhat indifferent and you will be aware of odd reactions to your current circumstances.

Relationships that are strong will pass the test before it now, however relationships that are experiencing problems will either undergo change, or end.

Heavy obligations will be imposed on you now and tensions can cause an explosive nature. The urge for freedom will not only rock your boat, but unnerve those around you whether on the domestic or career levels. Reversals of fortune is also possible with this influence.

This is not a favorable time to be involved with any groups or organizations and difficulties will be found in money, legal matters, taxes, insurance and wills. In health matters the teeth may need some attention as sudden eruptions can occur.

Saturn sextile Node:

This is an auspicious time to find the support that you need from others. Permanent alliances can be formed with others bringing positive influences to you. This is a wonderful time to turn over a new leaf and become a more positive person.

Any new relationships that begin this year will have a very strong "soul connection" quality to it and this is a very favorable time for making permanent connections and plans for the future together.

Security may be a very important social issue for you at this time, or you may be involved in security systems or fads that are popular.

Saturn square Asc.:

Being around people and social situations will make you very uneasy now and you will prefer your own privacy to feel secure. You can easily be disappointed by others this year or suffer some arthritic conditions, problems with the knees and find that your teeth are more sensitive, fragile and can break quite easily.

Heavy burdens may plague you during this time and this is a period of fleeting depression because of responsibilities that have taken their toll. This is a difficult time to connect with others in a friendly and gracious way because it will seem that the universe has put a "block" between you and the rest of the world.

Relationships can undergo tests that will either make it stronger, or break it. Work and personal demands can prove taxing and frustrating, and walls can form between two people. Cold and unsympathetic attitudes to and from people in your surroundings can occur. Negative people seem to find you making your attitude negative and your energy and vitality are on the low side, so schedule time for some much needed rest.

Responsibilities may be laid on you to take care of others or lawsuits and legal difficulties can arise and have to be attended to this year.

Saturn conjunction MC:

A time of increased responsibility and paying attention to your duties has arrived. Your ambition for status and security will be high and fame and recognition can come for work done both positive and negative.

New starts in your career can take place this year, and avoid taking the shortcut in anything that you do.

The placement of the 3 outer planets in the solar return chart indicates areas in your life that are likely to take surprising twists and turns, where idealism and illusion may enter your life, or where compulsive or extreme situations may arise in your life during the coming year.

Solar Return Uranus in 6th house:

Uranus is in your 6th house this year. Uranus is the planet that causes us to make changes of the sudden and electric kind in our lives with very little regard as to whether we want to or not. Where matters are apt to be unpredictable, where we separate ourselves from our environment as well as attractions to the new and untried. Original ideas, awakening to new concepts and unconventional behavior highlight Uranus in the houses.

Changes can arise in areas of employment and health, or the job may become intolerable or be changed by new technological methods and strain can occur by added responsibilities. If Uranus makes a difficult aspect while in the 6th house, you can suffer from an illness, lose your job, become uncooperative, become very nervous, or have a work related accident.

Uranus square MC:

You will feel the need to rebel against people to make sure they understand that you want to be left alone. You need more freedom and because of this it will be very difficult to make commitments to others.

You will experience clashes of wills with people in authority, in business relationships and political associations. Unpredictable business, professional and domestic occurrences can arise and your relationship with friends can change as they become annoying to you, whether they are your family or associates. Unexpected conflicts are sure to arise that not only affect your working environment, but your domestic one as well.

Rather than a voluntary change of residence, here is an involuntary change of residence, whether through your job, some kind of disaster or loss of lease. On the other hand, people may suddenly move into your home this year, which was not in the game plan.

Each persons circumstances will be different with this year, but your need for "freedom" from domestic or working conditions will be challenged to some degree, especially in the retrograde. Has it always been easy for you to walk out of situations in the past? Well then this challenge may be in the form of working out circumstances in your life rather than turning and walking away from them one more time.

Solar Return Neptune in 6th house:

Neptune is in your 6th house this year. Neptune is the Grand Master of illusion, deception, imagination and inspiration, perhaps all at the same time. Psychic and intuitive aspects can emerge from our personalities either consciously or subconsciously and new concepts that are somewhat poetic, compassionate and humanitarian can easily arise. As long as we remain realistic in our approach to life, we shouldn't encounter too many lessons though. Expect Neptune to put you through many changes of perceptions and your views or reality will be altered several times as well. Neptune is where you are vulnerable, gullible, and where mis-information, false hopes but spiritual enlightenment can be found.

Be careful on the work front as toxins can build up in the body causing illnesses and don't expect your labors to be appreciated by others. It is best to do for others rather than expect something in return and let that be your reward. Work and health matters are stimulated this year as well. If Neptune makes a difficult aspect while in the 6th house, you may be unemployed or work at a job that is displeasing to you. Illnesses will be difficult to diagnose and there will be a sensitivity to medications. The body will react rather adversely to any drugs or alcoholic abuse.

Solar Return Pluto in 4th house:

Pluto is in your 4th house this year. Pluto is the master of digging down beneath the surface of who you are and bring some very powerful yet subtle changes into your life. Pluto is where your OBSESSIONS can be found this year, where your personal "power" can be found, major changes in life, and changes in life with regard to groups of people.

Making repairs on your home are favored this year, so get rid of old thought patterns that keep you from growing. Changes on the domestic front can be expected and you may even decide to move this year. If Pluto makes a difficult aspect while in the 4th house, then there can be disrupted or become subject to upsets in the home that are out of your control.

Pluto Sesquiquadrate Node:

Do not use this time for planning retaliations against people who have wronged you, even though it will be strong, so resist the temptation. Be careful of USING people for your own purposes as well.

Associations can become very burdensome this year and tension and intolerance for others can lead to unwise choices. Aspirations for power can lead to problems or frustrations.

Midpoints are an astrological technique that became popular among astrologers in the latter half of the 20th century. They are very important in the solar return chart.

Natal 7th on solar Asc:

With your Natal 7th house on the Solar Ascendant, making compromises to others, and overlooking differences for the sake of relationships can come into focus. Any difficulties in love and relationships are likely to surface to be dealt with. You are more than likely to be the initiator of relationships now. Matters of marriage and divorce or litigation are all part of this energy, and are sure to be an essential part of what is going on in some way.

Natal Asc in solar 6th house:

With your natal Ascendant now in the Solar 6th house, the things that you must do on a day-to-day basis, and matters of health will be very important. The 6th house represents the job you do, or daily occupations and things that you do to be of use and service for others. Most importantly, it is where you as an individual fit this year.
