March 18 Birthday Horoscope

If You Were Born Today, March 18: You are an extremely intuitive person who is sometimes hard to read--and hard to reach! You seem to need more quiet time for personal reflection than most. However, when you are with others you are sociable, interested, and lively. You relate well to people from all walks of life. You have a great need for stimulation and change in your daily routines. Famous people born today: Edgar Cayce, Queen Latifah, John Updike, Vanessa Williams.

Your Birthday Year Forecast: Your birthday this year occurs shortly after a New Moon, suggesting a time of new beginnings and fresh energy. You are instinctively starting a new phase in your life. It's time to give your life a makeover and to branch out into the untried.

The Sun conjunct Mercury and Uranus in your Solar Return chart suggests a very busy period ahead, with plenty of activities, interests, and intellectual stimulation. Flashes of insight into existing problems are likely. You are making important changes this year, and leaving the past behind in some manner. At times, you may be rebellious, so it is important to listen to your heart and to take action rather than always reacting to others and situations. There may be times that you feel like the pace of your life is running ahead of you. You can be especially productive, however, in all types of communications--writing, speaking, learning, teaching, and so forth. There are bound to be some surprises in store. Your thinking is more clever and original this year, and there may be unexpected opportunities for travel (or at least "armchair" travel), as well as new and perhaps unusual friendships. You are able to come up with original solutions to existing problems and brand new ideas more readily this year. Unusual, sudden, or eye-opening connections to younger people are likely to figure. This is a good year for projects involving technology or New Age topics. You may find more opportunities to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, or metaphysics. Your intuition is strong, and insights seem to come from "out of the blue". Original, creative ideas are easy to come by this year.

With Uranus electrifying your Sun much of the year, you can expect a more liberated and interesting year than most. Changes are in store for you, and they're likely to be very positive if you recognize and honor your need for newness in your life.

Jupiter transits your Sun this year, bringing more awareness of moral issues and long-term goals, as well as a stronger than usual desire to improve and learn this year. Optimism and confidence are with you, and you are able to attract fortunate circumstances into your life as a result. Problems are easier to resolve this year. You are more sociable and might meet especially helpful people during this period. Travel opportunities are more likely. Your broader perspective on matters this year keeps you from getting lost in details or overly frustrated by everyday stresses and strains. This transit heightens your optimism and generosity, and the entire cycle, which runs until December, has the potential for being a relaxed, fortunate, and hopeful time in your life. You are greeting life with a fresh, can-do attitude. What happened in the past is not very important to you now--it's the future you're eyeing now. Events occur that help you to overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable--you have an altogether different perspective on life now, and are not inclined much to sweat the small stuff. You create a distinct first impression on others, and your likeability increases.

Mars harmonizes with Saturn and Uranus around the the time of your birthday this year, helping to ground you but also keep you open to new methods and possibilities. Much can be accomplished this year, especially if you move ahead methodically with attention on the future. Work is solid this year, and you can see results from your efforts, or at least foresee success down the road. This gives you a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. Practice or refining a technique is favored this year. The approach that seems to work best with this aspect is a step-by-step one, with modest ambitions and the appreciation of slow but steady progress.

Mercury and the Sun both oppose Saturn and trine Mars, also suggesting the potential for much productivity this year, although there are likely to be some challenges with communication or small setbacks to existing projects that need to be overcome. Some indecisiveness is likely as you struggle between clinging to the tried and true and embracing the new.
