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. This can be a year in which you experience important turning points, or you could begin new projects or goals that have a long-term impact on your life.

You tend to throw yourself into your passions this year. Romantic relationships and attractions can be intense. This could be a year when you fall in love, and this could be with a person, an activity, or a cause! Meeting someone who transforms your life, and more specifically your values and attitude towards love, is possible under this influence, and/or existing relationships are likely to grow and transform in rewarding ways, as you are more open than usual to intensity and passion. Your finances could also improve dramatically this year, although there is some tendency to go overboard with spending or pleasures.

Your creative impulses are potent. This can be a particularly good time for such pursuits as dancing, swimming, photography, arts, and entertainment. If you are an artist, this could be an especially inspired, imaginative, and productive year. Finding outlets for tension can be a strong focus and very rewarding.

Your ambition is stimulated now, and you are determined to meet or exceed your goals. You can bring great discipline and meaning to your life this year. You might totally revise an important project or area of your life, or you could be bent on getting rid of something in your life so that you can move forward. The tendency to be too willful this year should probably be avoided. You should also watch for overdoing to the point of exhaustion. This can be a compulsive time when power struggles are more likely. On the other hand, it can be a time when you enjoy a strong sense of purposefulness, focus, and determination.

The year ahead can be an ambitious time and a supportive period for reaching your goals. You might solve a long-standing problem, or capitalize upon a resource that was previously hidden.

You might experience some difficulties and delays in communications in the period ahead. 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.

There can be a sense that you’re beginning a new chapter of your life in the year ahead. The period ahead is one for both satisfying work and play. Your creativity and personal appeal blossom. This can be a wonderful year for meeting new people or more thoroughly enjoying your current friendships. It’s a powerful year for relationships and excellent for making lifestyle changes.

2018 is a Number Five year for you. Ruled by Mercury. This is a year of discovery and freedom. It’s a time when exploration and reaching out to others brings opportunities. It’s a good time to advertise, promote, and sell. Surprises are in store, and the routine is broken for the better. This is a year when exciting relationships can be formed; or, if you are already in a partnership, new life is breathed into the relationship. Advice – explore, look for adventure, keep your eyes open for opportunities, diversify, mingle.

2019 will be a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment. It’s a time when love is the easiest to attract, and partnerships formed under this vibration have a better chance for longevity. You are especially 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.

I was suppose to make an announcement yesterday about this subject and I completely forgot. Lynette is absent-minded, I guess I have been around her too long. That’s not the announcement as I am sure you can guess. The announcement has to do with the WOTC’S store, Magickal Necessities.

I know Lord Myst announced it would be closing April 16th and it didn’t.. As you know I bound him from all our property and we haven’t seen him since. Really hurts my feelings. Lady Abyss had intentions of closing the store on April 27th. She was very serious about this and doesn’t want you to thing she was just trying to pry money out of you. That is the furthest from the truth. Since circumstances has changed and with your pleas to keep it open, the store will remain open. We had no idea at the time Lady A was going to fall out in the floor dead and need two steins put in. I don’t know if you are familiar with the cost of heart medicine or not but it is expensive. Due to this added expense, we have decided to keep Magickal Necessities open. It will help offset some of the cost of her medicine and hopefully pay for itself to operate.

People who do not run or have ever operated a store, it cost money. In fact, quite a bit. But you wanted the store to stay and we are glad to keep it open for you. We hope it will be successful, offset some of Lady A’s medical expenses and pay for itself. I apologize for all the confusion with the store closing on this date or that date. Lord M had no business or authority to even speak for any of our operations we have  He tried to seize the moment and got bit in return.

I will add the store is under new management. The front page has been redesigned and I know merchandise is being added daily. As Lady A stated before we will now have more time to spend over here. You lucky people.

I wanted to give you that quick up-date on the store. We don’t like to leave people hanging in limbo. Please accept our sincere apologizes in regards to this matter.

Gator Blessings,

Eleanor

I forgot to mention we were trying to raise money to pay our property taxes. We were success in doing just that, thanks to everyone you. Something I will never forget. Thank You!
