December 18 Birthday Horoscope

The Year Ahead

Forecast for December 2006-December 2007

A strong configuration in your birthday chart this year suggests a year of steady, solid progress and important, but manageable, changes. With the Sun conjunct Pluto and trine Saturn in your Solar Return chart, work you have done begins to pay off this year. You may be recognized or rewarded in some way for the efforts you put forth. Because you project a more responsible and credible “you”, people in authority tend to be more inclined to appreciate you and recognize your work. This is a year when you put your life in order in some significant manner. Improved concentration and focus, a more realistic outlook, and a practical awareness of the limits of time all help you to make steady progress, particularly in your career. Your concern for your future this year is stronger than usual, and you may find that projects you start, or investments you make, this year will benefit you for years to come. The key to success this year is adopting a realistic, practical, disciplined, and orderly approach to your life. This is a year when dedication and commitment to your goals runs high. You are more productive in a reliable and consistent way. You derive satisfaction from a job well done, especially if you can readily attach meaning to it. You are able to see yourself, and your purpose, very clearly. This is an excellent year in which to cultivate patience as well as to weed out the unnecessary in order to focus on what really matters. Others are bound to recognize your leadership skills and talents, or, at the very least, your potential. You might find that you become more goal-oriented, as superficial goals no longer satisfy you. You want your life path and your objectives to reflect what you’re really about, and you are likely to rid yourself of unsatisfying goals this year. You benefit from being more decisive than usual, and your ability to concentrate and focus help you to achieve what you set out to do. A new project or goal begun this year has a good chance of being successful and long-lasting.

At the time of your birthday this year, the Moon is in its Balsamic phase, which marks the end of an important cycle, or stage of growth, in your life. You take more "down time" than normal, and this is natural--even good for you.

Mercury and Mars square Uranus around the time of you birthday this year, however. So, while your goals are becoming clearer and more reliable, your mind is very active, and perhaps quite restless. In fact, your mind is working at top speed this year. This means you can get a whole lot done, but it also suggests that you may not be paying attention to important details. Your senses are stimulated, and you could have sudden flashes of insight or fresh new ideas. Learning new things is your passion this year--not recycling old ideas or performing repetitive processes. Relationships with younger people could change--new ones may be formed or existing ones revitalized. Surprising news may be part of the picture. This can be a year when bursts of restlessness, rebellion, and impatience figure prominently. There may be changes in work schedules, or life's circumstances could challenge you in such a way that you need to change your goals or actions. This can also be a time when you tend to resist others and challenge them if they are trying to hold you back. If you aren't too rash or impulsive, you might be able to free yourself from restrictive circumstances. You could also have more courage than usual to do things that break the routine, and confrontations engaged in this year could clear the air and help you to move forward. With Mars conjunct Jupiter, you possess a wealth of enthusiastic energy this year. You more readily take chances. Your sense of timing is often excellent; and you feel strong, positive, adventurous, and energetic. Your goal is to expand. You are competitive in a mostly friendly manner and readily rise to a challenge.

Venus-Uranus is a favorable influence for social meetings and events, and for situations that call for treating others with equality and respect. This could be a good year for financial undertakings involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and the arts, as well as group activities. You have a taste for the offbeat this year, and this energy can bring sudden or unexpected romance into your life, perhaps a scenario that feels like love at first sight. Childbirth is sometimes associated with this aspect. With Venus in a tense aspect to Saturn in your Solar Return, getting serious about love or money (or both) will be a theme this year. Money may be tight, or the need to buckle down with your finances may be necessary. This does not necessarily signify financial losses or hardship, but you are likely to have an increased awareness of your limits. The responsibilities of partnership are magnified this year. You are likely to be more earnest on a romantic level. An existing relationship may become more serious, or you may form a new partnership with a serious or older person. You are likely to work hard this year, and this could interfere with pleasure time. Opportunities to socialize may be reduced, and this could be the result of increased responsibilities or it could stem from your own reticence on a social level this year.

2006 has been a Number Two year for you. Ruled by the Moon. This is a year of potential companionship. It is a quiet, gentle, and mostly harmonious year that is less active than other years. Instead, you are more responsive to the needs of others. If you are patient and open yourself up in a gentle manner, you will attract both things and people. This is an excellent year in which to build and develop for the future. Advice - be patient, be receptive, enjoy the peace, collect.

2007 is a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time, when it is easy to enjoy life and other people. Focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure. It is likely to be a rather lighthearted year, when opportunities for "play" time are greater than usual. It's also a good year for expressing your creativity. Advice - reach out, but avoid scattering your energies.
