May 6 Birthday Horoscope

The Year Ahead

Forecast for May 2008 to May 2009

Your birthday this year occurs just 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 in creative aspect with Mars in your Solar Return chart assists you with additional energy to draw upon in the year ahead. Self-confidence and action are highlighted. You tend to instinctively know the right course of action to take in most situations. Your desire nature is strong, and increased physical activity, including sexual, is likely. Independent work is favored. Competitive activities may also thrive this year.

Mercury squares Saturn, and some difficulties and delays with communications are likely. Your thoughts are quite sober at times, and you should do your best to avoid negative thinking. It's a strong year for recognizing flaws and errors. As long as you don't forget the "big picture", you could find you are motivated to channel your mental energy into tasks that require structured and organized thought, tackling projects that you may have found too mundane or downright boring in other years. It's a strong year for polishing your skills and formal learning.

Venus harmonizes with Neptune and Saturn, and forms a tense aspect with Uranus in your Solar Return chart. Certain elements of your social and financial life are stabilized, secured, and more reliable this year. You may solidify a romantic relationship under this influence, or become involved with a mature partner. You handle money more carefully this year. However, there will be distinct periods when these matters feel insecure, largely due to an inner restlessness. Unusual attractions (to people and things) can have you acting on a whim. You may deal with freedom versus closeness issues in your relationships.

A harmonious aspect between Jupiter and Uranus suggests this could be a "lucky" year, although the luck is likely to come from a positive attitude and an enterprising spirit. It should be a strong year when sudden opportunities for advancement in different areas of your life appear. At the heart of this is your ability to recognize and capitalize upon opportunities and potentials. You are more open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes under this influence. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of your willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. This aspect favors group activities, financial endeavors associated with groups or organizational efforts, educational pursuits, writing, publishing, speaking, and humanitarian efforts. A positive and optimistic outlook serves you especially well this year.

Opportunities to advance in your career come with a positive attitude and enterprising spirit. An instinct for the right course of action assists you in many of your endeavors. The year ahead is one filled with new beginnings and fresh starts. Love and relationships have their ups and downs, but satisfy overall. It's a strong year in which to stabilize and manage your finances.

2008 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.

2009 will be a Number Four year for you. Ruled by Uranus. This is a year of work and development. It's "nose to the grindstone" time. It's a time to deal with practical matters, and it's not a time to be lazy or especially gregarious. Sometimes, it can be a year that feels hard, monotonous and routine, and/or lonely. Positive new relationships are generally not formed in a Four personal year. Advice - get yourself organized, work to build your resources, keep busy.
