Your Birthday Year Forecast:

Your birthday falls shortly after a Full Moon this year, suggesting a period ahead of communication and teaching. You may be turned to for advice more frequently, and you are very willing to offer your help. This is a strong year for publicity and any other endeavors that involve spreading the word. As well, your ability to be objective–or to see the “big picture”–can be especially pronounced and rewarding this year.

Saturn forms an opposition to your Sun until December (since April). Saturn calls upon you to identify the weaker areas of your life and to fix or strengthen them. Take the time to sort out details, improve your work, and become more efficient. Taking a slow and steady approach to life is necessary during this period. Pushing too hard will likely lead to frustration and setbacks. Take it easy and work on self-improvement. Results are not immediate, but will eventually come and bring healthy rewards. Relationships may be (or seem) more challenging than usual while Saturn opposes your Sun.

This is an excellent year in which to advance projects revolving around communications – writing, speaking, selling, and so forth. Your reputation may be enhanced through word of mouth. Making new contacts through learning and mental pursuits figures strongly as well.

You might often get frustrated if results of your actions are not instant, but it’s best to cultivate some patience when it comes to realizing your goals. As well, if you are not getting the results you crave, consider that you might be aiming too high or too wide.

Venus in hard aspect to Jupiter in your Solar Return chart brings love and romance into your life, but you could encounter problems due to overblown expectations or excessive behavior. You may overindulge and would do well to strike a balance between pleasures and the obligations of daily life.

If there are health issues this year, look for blockages or constrictions since Saturn is involved with the Node.

This can be an excellent period for opening up communications with others, as you are more sensitive than usual and more willing to listen. Getting your point across is easier — it’s not only about what specific words you choose to communicate, you intuitively express the meaning and intention behind the words. You can effectively use words to soothe, heal, and teach this year. You are also more open to new ways of looking at problems, thus it’s considerably easier to find solutions.

Idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface this year. Making connections with others from different backgrounds may figure strongly. Widening your mind through unusual or different experiences can be part of the picture. You more easily make personal sacrifices for what you believe to be the greater good this year.

You’re firming up some areas of your life until November, and this can be a period of harder work and discipline and perhaps some challenges. However, as the year advances, you’re sure to feel freer and attract more positivity into your life. Some relationships may be feisty or complicated and there can be a significant break in your social life, but improvements are possible. With work, you’re expanding your interests in satisfying ways. You can find yourself in high demand during this period.

2018 is 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 generally not as 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 what–and who–you want into your life now. This is an excellent year in which to build and develop for the future. Advice – be patient, be receptive, enjoy the peace, collect, develop, build, and attract.

2019 will be a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time when you find it natural and easy to enjoy life and other people. The focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure than you are in other years. It’s likely to be a rather lighthearted year when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a favorable year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out and connect but avoid scattering your energies.

Planets in the Signs

When a child is born, preparation of his or her horoscope gets largely impacted by the placement of planets in specific zodiac signs. As part of their eternal journey in and around the zodiac signs, their association with respect to the birth position and their calculation in ascending or descending degrees are indicative of relevant powers getting activated and their manipulation thereby on the individual’s life.

When understanding the prediction science vis-à-vis positioning of planets in the signs, moon is known to be a planet that has a short period of association with a sign thus influencing an individual’s life quite marginally. Soon after the transit of moon in a sign starts giving specific signals, it moves to another because its stay of duration is as low as twenty eight days. Subsequently, moon also takes less time in completing its cycle and reaching back to its original position in the horoscope. Weekly or monthly forecasts that we keep coming across in newspapers or TV channels are predictions based upon this fast movement of moon.

A planet’s conservative transition can be seen as its longer duration of stay in zodiacs. As a result, the impact on individual’s life can bet largely visible and persistent for a period. This conservative transition is termed as retrogression. All planets, except the sun and the moon, get into retrogression so as to show their good or bad results.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, which are closer to the Sun, are called inner planets while Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are farer to Sun and are called outer planets. Transit of these inner and outer planets in signs show varied impact on the individual’s life. Outer planets have a bigger impact with respect to their large duration of stay. Unlike inner planets, outer planets may not return their original position to show a visible impact on the individual’s behaviour, character and life. A slight alteration in the degree of existence of outer planets may drastically change the life of a being to the extent of getting an exorbitant rise, earning some recognition or meeting a fatal accident, relationship resulting in divorce.

In getting exact predictions, the birth position of a planet is crucial because it corresponds to the physical and mental aspect of the bearer. Positioning of a planet in the signs moderates or extremes their expression and also ruling, on individual life. That planet’s nature with respect to the characteristics of relevant sign and its natal position makes the horoscope reader see all the good or bad impressions it has to make.

Neptune in signs guides each individual and even whole generations towards their destiny. Extrasensory perception, illusions, fantasy, imagination and dreams all fall under the realm of Neptune. All those individuals who have a prominent Neptune in their signs will be drawn towards mysticism and other such spiritual pursuits.

Neptune in Aquarius

The most predominant prediction made at the time of entrance of Neptune in Aquarius is emergence of a spiritual love, with too many people getting romanticized with each other and standing united, not only those who know each other but as strangers too.

Neptune in Aquarius

The most predominant prediction made at the time of entrance of Neptune in Aquarius is emergence of a spiritual love, with too many people getting romanticized with each other and standing united, not only those who know each other but as strangers too. This planet-zodiac union symbolizes love for humanity as a whole and this feeling of oneness is more telepathic nature and at the same time, prompts an inclination towards accepting the existence of groups frankly. This inclination gets extended to a liking for respect for others’ viewpoints, feelings and in creating a win-win situation for everyone by sharing an open space. Even further, every individual’s contribution in the group gets equally valued as if the entire group is working for one purpose & it cannot be achieved unless everybody’s contribution counts!

Neptune in Aquarius provokes more of an eccentric approach of individuals towards love and it is also more liberal. As a result, the spirituality getting prompted sideways comes into picture as an essential element for the support of those into a real bond of love or friendship. Period of Stay of Neptune in Aquarius is the period when people meet other people who are friends, lovers or relatives of their previous lives and in this period, they also know that we are involved in not one, but numerous types of love with different people. With new loves getting born, old myths about love getting broken and need felt for a more broad-minded outlook about them, there is an indication that it was time we invented fresh perspectives about all this.

A combination rarest of its kind, Neptune in Aquarius indicates world’s strong inclination towards environment consciousness, naturopathic healing, spiritualism, awareness towards inner happiness, and the awakening within. Thus, this period of high romanticism is free from envies and is based more upon aligning, acceptance and sympathy. You should not be surprised if newer mysteries related to mind and spirit unfold in front of your eyes as a result of scientific advancements. Closeness with religion and belief in God gets noticed in this period of Neptune in Aquarius and this gets visibly seen in the form of love and empathy for each other.

For the most part, you are on top of your game this year, and positive connections with others can be made fairly easily. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there is less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you!

Saturn forms an opposition to your Sun until September (since January). Saturn calls upon you to identify the weaker areas of your life and to fix or strengthen them.

Relationships may be (or seem) more challenging than usual while Saturn opposes your Sun.

You have Uranus transiting in harmony to your Sun from April forward helping you along, and exciting (not jarring) changes and new interests are likely. It’s easier than usual to express your unique individuality, and if this involves changing careers or jobs, a new love affair, or an entirely new hobby, it’s something that takes you forward into unexplored territory. You are more willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations during this period. It’s a good time to join organizations and groups and to attend meetings or social events. You are able to find creative solutions to problems now. Flexibility is the key to success under this influence.

You can enjoy an increase in personal magnetism, but be wary of competitiveness or tension in existing love relationships, as your passions are ignited in general, whether they’re feelings of love or anger! Incompatibilities are emphasized in relationships this year, and this can be stimulating on the one hand, and tense on the other. Watch also for impulse buys during this period.

You might often get frustrated if results of your actions are not instant, but it’s best to cultivate some patience when it comes to realizing your goals. As well, if you are not getting the results you crave, consider that you might be aiming too high or too wide.

Advice – explore, look for adventure, keep your eyes open for opportunities, diversify, mingle.

The Witches Guide to Sunday

Ruler: Sun

Colors: Gold or yellow

Power Hours: Sunrise and sunset.

Key Words: Love, happiness, health, wealth

It is easy to spot the ruler of this day by its name. Sunday is the day of the sun. Community work, volunteer services, exercise, outdoor sports, buying, selling, speculating, meeting people, anything involving groups, running fairs and raffles, growing crops and taking care of all health matters fall under the influence of the Sun. With all this activity and the brightness of the sun, it’s easy to see why the child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

Michael is the primary angel of Sunday but each hour of this day also has it’s secondary angel. These angels are Michael (first hour), Anael (second hour), Raphael (third hour), Gabril (fourth hour), Cassiel (fifth hour), Sachiel (sixth hour), Samael (seventh hour), Michael (eighth hour), Anael (ninth hour), Raphael (tenth hour), Gabriel (eleventh hour), and Cassiel twelfth hour). Notice some of the angels do double duty this day.

On Sundays, (unless you are invoking a specific angelic energy) the hour of sunrise will be the most powerful time to work, especially if you want to infuse energy into your work. Sunset is the second best time and is favored when you need to calm down a situation. Check the local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac to determine your local sunrise.

The Magickal Days of the Week — Sunday

In many traditions of Paganism, days of the week are very important aspects of effective spellcasting. For example, spells to do with abundance or prosperity could be done on Thursday, because it is associated with riches and desire. When casting a spell concerning business or communication, one might prefer to work on a Wednesday due to its associations.

While not all traditions follow this rule, when you’re doing any sort of magical working, always be sure to document the day of the week you’re performing the spell.

You might be surprised later on to see some connections!
