The Year Ahead Forecast for March 2007 to March 2008 The Sun trine Moon in your Solar Return chart is a fortunate aspect. It suggests that domestic and career needs don't compete with one another this year. Your inner needs tend to be mirrored by external events, and vice versa. This aspect is very powerful and rewarding. It suggests that you will be on top of your game this year for the most part, and positive connections with others can be made rather easily. A comfortable level of personal popularity helps to keep conflict to a minimum. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there will be less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you. The Sun forms challenging aspects to Mars and Neptune, however. You feel a great need for action, but if you don't know where you're headed, you might take the wrong turn. As long as you channel the excess energy constructively, instead of wasting your time arguing or getting yourself into conflicts with others, you can accomplish much. In terms of major life objectives, you need to be aware of a tendency to be attracted to impractical ventures. You may find that is too easy to waste your time and energy, perhaps due to a lack of drive or of feeling directionless. You may also experience passive-aggressiveness in others, which impacts your life in frustrating ways, or you could find relationships with others confusing and hard to define. Although you may enjoy an increase in your intuitive capabilities, you may also be too open to influence so that fears or delusions impact your ability to see your life clearly. This could also be a year in which you discover a tremendous drive to express yourself creatively. Mars conjuncts Neptune and opposes Saturn. Saturn and Neptune's influences are contradictory. While a part of you is attempting to see things for what they are, another part is hanging onto dreams and ideals. Some disillusionments and reality shifts are bound to be a part of your life this year. However, creative outcomes of this struggle between ideals and reality are likely with Jupiter sextile Mars. A promotion, salary raise, or an opportunity to advance in your career may present itself this year. Venus forms creative angles to Jupiter, Uranus, and the North Node in your Solar Return chart, suggesting that you may enjoy increased social opportunities as well as a boost in your personal popularity and magnetism this year. You are more friendly, optimistic, and willing to take emotional risks than usual. A cheerful and hopeful outlook increases your chances of gaining cooperation from others. Financial benefits may come your way, and meeting new friends or lovers is likely. Some people fall in love under this influence. However, a Venus-Pluto angle adds intensity to the mix, as well as some suspiciousness and emotional drama! Venus-Pluto can be erotic and intense, but the extreme passions it arouses can also express themselves in jealousies and possessiveness. With Pluto, jealousies are directly related to the fear of losing someone. Something tiny can trigger all sorts of buried emotions, and this can be very revealing! If you find yourself dredging up old hurts, examine the emotional "slush" you've been carrying around with you. Avoid taking it out on your partner or on yourself. This aspect can also suggest making a large purchase or payment and having to adjust your spending as a result. Mercury's pleasing interplay with Venus and Pluto adds charm as well as effectiveness to the way you present your ideas this year, certainly helping to smooth over differences in your personal relationships. This influence also helps you to express yourself more creatively. This offers you increased insight, psychological understanding and awareness, and focused attention. You are inclined to do a lot of “digging�? researching, analyzing, investigating, and getting to the bottom of things. Increased psychological awareness of yourself and others can benefit you greatly, and employing strategy in your decision making is easier than usual this year. Relationships with younger people may be especially rewarding and meaningful. The year ahead is a sociable, busy, and rewarding one. You are able to act on instinct, not impulse, and enjoying yourself is a given. Still, you are likely to deal with some disillusionments regarding your life's objectives. At the end of this process, however, you are on much more solid ground in terms of who you are and what you want to do. 2007 is a Number Four year for you. Ruled by Saturn.
