Your Astro-Forecast begins on the next page. If the time period for an interpretation is, for example, given as "July 1, 1993 (June 15, 1993 to July 15, 1993)", 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 week 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 funny 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.

The Sun has now entered your 1st house. But what does the monthly position of the Sun mean to you and how will it effect your life at this time?
This month the emphasis will be on recharging your body and getting ready for a new 12 month cycle.

Any social activities and sporting events are happy and joyous occasions during this transit and there is an increased enjoyment of intimate moments with your spouse or lover as well. All of the joys that can be experienced through "love" with another person are favored now, and foreigners or people at a distance will be drawn to you. Perhaps people of a sad heart who know they can call you to be cheered up at a moment of desperation in their own lives will call. People involved in "Psychic Hotline" type work will find a popularity among men/women who are having troubles of their own and your heart can go out to them as well. Expect to hear from friends from the past or recent past who you had forgotten about who now would like to be a lot more in your life in the romantic department.
A marriage of souls can take place during this transit, or a physical marriage can occur, bringing an extra blessing to the event. I, the author of this material was suddenly and blissfully married under the Jupiter conjunct Venus transit (exact) and it was a most memorable occasion.
You may feel a need to adopt some new philosophies or religious beliefs including more humanitarian efforts for the "masses" versus the individual kind now and people may be surprised to see your polite attitude when around them and your manners will take a turn for the better as well.
Happiness is bound to arise now and consideration and compassion for others in your surroundings will be very strong. This is an excellent trend for music, artistic endeavors or a romantic evening for two. Schedules move along well and spending sprees can be a source of joy, at least until the money runs out! Last minute rescues from potentially sticky situations can arrive in the nick of time and lady luck may have some surprises in store for you that can put a smile on your face.
You will be feeling great and ready for the good times ahead. A gift of some sort can find you when you least expect it and this transit attracts money, friends and very pleasant experiences. People may show up at your front door without warning, but you are pleasantly surprised, especially around 4AM, needing some very special tender loving care. Business trips and pleasure trips are favored and you may meet someone quite foreign to yourself and a relationship can begin.
The only really negative side to all of this wonderful energy is an increase in sexuality and desires for sugar, sweets, SODA and sweet juices such as orange juice, even if you are not a big juice drinker. The desire can even turn into obsessions as you can't seem to quench the thirst for all of the wrong things. That increased sexuality and desire for sweets can have some very adverse effects on the body through kidney problems, weight gain and gout.

Practical considerations can go right out the window as you make some large scale errors in judgment. Never count on anything until you have it firmly in your hand especially under this transit, as what you hoped for can turn suddenly elusive and disappear from sight.
This is not the time to bank on any kind of sure thing, no matter how "sure" it is. Avoid going overboard financially or in business, as you can easily spend a lot more than you intended to on ANY items purchased. This is not the time for any kind of expansion, so you would be better off waiting until this aspect is over. This can be a great time to diet because you can lose weight.
