September 16 Birthday

The Year Ahead

Forecast for September 2006-September 2007

The Sun sextile 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 a rewarding one. It indicates 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.

Even so, the year ahead is one of changes and adjustments as you rearrange your overall focus and your social life. The Sun squares Pluto around the time of your birthday, as it did last year. You are experiencing a long-term trend in which your life path is undergoing changes. You are likely to experience events that highlight the necessity to share and trust. This year, events and circumstances are such that you learn about your own personal strength. You may have to deal with willfulness and issues of power and competition this year--in others and in yourself. There are likely to be times when you feel on edge, volatile, or even threatened. You may slowly uncover a new direction in your career--one that reflects more of the “true you”. You may also experience tangles in your close personal relationships, perhaps more so with males. Watch for jealousies and manipulative behavior. Things will not go in your favor if you resort to tactics to get what you want. If you have been feeling somewhat of a victim in your relationships or job position, for example, then this will be a year when you feel it more acutely and feel the need to do something about it.

Venus opposes Uranus around the time of your birthday. Some disruptions in your friendships and attachments are possible this year. Unusual attractions (to people and things) can have you acting on a whim. You may deal with freedom versus closeness issues in your relationships. It may be that you experience sudden changes or breakups with a friend or lover. However, the chance of a sudden new friendship is just as likely. At the root of this is a stronger "taste" for the unusual. What is familiar is less exciting to you than what is new and different. If a relationship seems to threaten your sense of freedom, you may have an easy time separating from it. Some fireworks in both your social and financial lives are to be expected, keeping things fresh and exciting. The best way to handle this energy is to open yourself up to the need for change in your love life or with regards to how you spend and make money--or both. Get in touch with this need for new experiences and/or attitudes and make some changes so that changes are not forced upon you.

With the Sun in positive aspect to Neptune, you could find that your intuition is subtly enhanced this year. You’re often in the right place at the right time, probably because your hunches are more likely to be correct. This aspect softens your disposition somewhat, as you tune into your imaginative and artistic side. You may often rely on your instinctual judgment. This is a good year for self-improvement programs or efforts. The need to “get away from it all” -- for some peace and quiet now and again -- will be strong. A more sensitive--even mysterious--persona is projected this year, and this can attract pleasantly unusual circumstances (and people) into your life. You will want to reserve time alone--away from the hectic pace of life--for reflection, prayer, and meditation.

Mercury conjuncts Mars around the time of your birthday this year, which is a good energy for debate or energetic mental work. It's possible that you may be argumentative and irritable under this influence, and particularly impatient with vagueness. However, if this energy is applied well, you may simply enjoy a more active and clear mind. This can be a good year to eliminate wasteful activities. This influence excites and over-stimulates the whole nervous system. Be careful to avoid cutting words and aggressive driving. You may be involved in frequent lectures, debates, and discussions during the year. You can convey your ideas more powerfully. You are quick to take the initiative and to put your thoughts into action. Adventuresome travel may be part of the picture. You may be more actively involved with young people.

Both Mercury and Mars form a hard aspect to Saturn, however. Although much energy is brought to your communications this year, you must be conscious of the tendency to be overly critical, sarcastic, or forceful with what you say and how you say it. You are more likely to come to very clear, definite decisions at this time and to let others know exactly what you want, and you have no qualms about stirring up controversy in defense of your ideas or plans! Your comments may be particularly loaded, and discussions could easily escalate into arguments.

A trine between Mercury-Mars and Chiron in your Solar Return suggests that getting your point across is easier, as it's not only about what specific words you choose to communicate, you intuitively express the meaning and intention behind the words. You are also more open to new ways of looking at problems, thus it's considerably easier to find solutions and to creatively use your energy.

2006 is a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment. It is a time when love is the easiest to attract, and partnerships formed under this vibration have a better chance for longevity. You are able to attract others, and material things as well, this year. This is a good year for establishing harmony in the family and in the home. Advice - develop existing relationships, be positive and receptive because these kinds of energies help you to attract what you desire.

2007 will be a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it's a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It's a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and "chance" meetings are probable. Advice - take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don't strain yourself or actively try to expand.
