A comprehensive one-year forecast including eclipses, long-term transits and your solar return chart. The primary method of astrology forecasting is using eclipses and outer planet transits. Eclipses last for six months up to the next series of eclipses. I break the transit reading up into these eclipse phases and add the planetary transits.
Pluto transits last about 18 months. Neptune transits 12 months. Uranus transit for about 10 months. Saturn transits can last from 1 to 11 months depending on whether Saturn turns retrograde or not. I list the exact dates of each transit and their influence is strongest then but these are long-term transits with sometimes gradual, background effects. Jupiter transit last 2 or 3 weeks.
Another method of forecasting I use is the solar return chart. It assumes that the chart for your birthday describes the whole year ahead. If all works well, the return chart should support themes from the eclipses and transits. However, I usually advise getting a natal reading first before the predictive readings like transits and solar returns.

You will want your workplace and your home to look and feel beautiful. This aspect is especially good for creativity in your career. Money should flow well from your career.

Solar Eclipse conjunct Midheaven focuses your attention on your professional life, your career and your goals. You should be more determined than usual to get ahead and make something of yourself. It is likely that you will be so ambitious that nothing else matters than achievement and success. Your private life, home and family will have to take a back seat while you have your moment in the Sun.
You and your achievements will be on display so be ready for more attention than usual. It is time to be judged on your past effort and receive recognition or promotion. You will have more power and influence over the direction of your life. You will also have more interaction with authority figures and powerful people.
This is a high point in your career or social standing and your reputation may be on the line. This is a time to act responsibility and work hard. It is good to be ambitious and proud of your achievement but avoid appearing arrogant or bossy because your reputation and your career may suffer.
Solar Eclipse sextile Venus creates opportunities for love and money because you energetically express love and affection through your personality. You can take the initiative in these areas and expect good reactions and support from others because of your positive attitude and loving nature.
Being proactive in relationships by simply giving love can heal any old wounds. A hug and a kiss may be all it takes to put any dramas behind you with loved ones. This is also a favorable time to get proactive on financial matters. Negotiations and business dealings should be amicable.
Sep 28, 2018 Jupiter square Midheaven (3 of 3) from September 22 to October 4 makes you want to achieve something significant in your career or with your other personal goals. Increased ambition means you will not be satisfied with business as usual. You can overcome previous limitations like self doubt and fear of success. You will be more willing to put in the extra effort needed for success.
You will likely be feeling more optimistic and self-confident but you should be aware of a tendency toward overconfidence. Also, take care not for forget about your daily responsibilities and normal routines. Too much focus on getting ahead could mean you neglect the small but important details that keep your life running smoothly.
It is also important not to overestimate your own abilities and resources. It would be better fo focus on one thing at a time and not over stretch yourself. Arrogance, pride and an inflated ego are other potential problems that can turn opportunity into disappointment. So you can be daring and aim high but also use moderation, discretion and some humility.
Oct 15, 2018 Saturn opposite Saturn (3 of 3) from September 22 to October 29 can depend a lot on what happened 14 years ago when you began a new phase of life, perhaps new projects or goals. If things went well then, you should now feel like you are on the right path.
7 years ago you went through some tests and trials to test how well you were going with your long term goals. If that did not get rid of the structures in your life not working then this period will be more of a challenge. Old failures that have not been handled properly will cause more problems now. Things that you have handled well will be more fruitful than ever.
In your career one of two things can happen. You will either reach a peak of success and take on more responsibility or you will decide it is time to call it quits. Too much resistance and drama is a sign to reevaluate your situation. Any relationships not straightened out several years ago will prove difficult now and separation may result.
Oct 19, 2018 Saturn square Pluto (3 of 3) from September 30 to November 2 activates this same natal aspect in your chart so this is a good chance to resolve some issues that have been frustrating you your whole life. It means you will have to work extra hard under challenging conditions just to get by. Powerful forces outside your control will create roadblocks in certain directions so you stay on the right path and don’t get ahead of yourself. You may have to ration your resources, cut bad habits, and make structural changes in your life. You will have to stop trying to control certain areas of your life but take more control over others.
When your goals and ambitions are tested by other people and by fate you have to make hard decisions with serious consequences. These are big issues that will affect your life’s direction. It could be an important relationship, a career choice, your home or your health. You must decide whether to hold on and fight or to let it go. Whatever happens it must involve change. If your ambition involves change to improve your life then you should fight for it. With patience, determination and persistence you can keep the dream alive. It will also help if you are flexible and ready to alter your plans according to changing circumstances. After this period of reorganization your goals will be more attainable with less effort.
If you need to make a change in your life, other people and circumstances will make it fairly obvious what needs changing or leaving behind. Stubbornly clinging to something from your past will cause increasing amounts of loss and pain. It could be an abusive relationship, a narrow-minded opinion that is hurtful to other, violent or destructive behavior, or a bad habit like smoking. Saturn square Pluto transit will make your life very difficult if you don’t at least try to change for the better. It may cost you financially and socially, leaving you broke and lonely. Obviously you will want to avoid this forced reorganization that will restrict your freedom and your choices.
The best way to handle this transit is being proactive about improving your life. Be open-minded and flexible but also patient and persistent. If you face shortages then ration your money, your food or your medicine. Be ready to let go and move away from negative people and negative environments. These limiting factors in your life are blocking your path ahead and stunting your spiritual evolution.
If something you are striving for is in your best interests, it will still carry on through this transformation. If something blocks your progress then perhaps you need more time to learn certain skills or save enough money. Don’t lose faith because of slow progress and delays. Get rid of non-essentials in your life. Free yourself of unnecessary burdens, guilt, responsibilities, costs, habits and dogmas. Physically unclog your gutters and drains as a symbol of your inner purge. Simplifying your life during this transit will allow you to focus on your destined path ahead.
Nov 03, 2018 Neptune Rx opposite Mercury (2 of 3) from September 16 to January 29 brings mental confusion and the potential for relationship problems due to miscommunication. Your perception of reality is clouded due to an inability to filter out the background noise or useless information.
You are hearing and seeing the truth but also a lot of garbage and it is nearly impossible to tell the difference. This is a bad time for making important decisions, making plans or doing any detailed mental work. Business deals should be avoided and put off signing contracts if you can. If not, then make sure you get the advise of a professional in the field or someone you really trust.
Personal relationships are also subject to this confusion and it would be better to avoid deep and meaningful conversations with a partner. If dating, you are more susceptible to being taken advantage or deceived in some way. Things that are good to do under this mystical influence include creative writing and poetry. Anything imaginative or dreamy is good like watching a romance or sci-fi movie, dancing and singing. Do not take dreams or visions too seriously and take a break if your work relies on your intuition or psychic ability.
Nov 25, 2018 Jupiter sextile Jupiter (1 of 1) from November 20 to 30 makes this a time of balance and equilibrium when everything seems to run smoothly with a minimum of effort.

There will be opportunities you really should take maximum advantage of as mentioned earlier because Jupiter is activating the same part of your chart as the lunar eclipse.
You will have a broad perspective of how everything in your life comes together and this means you can understand which steps to take in the future to succeed.

Your investments may be maturing or experiencing a growth spurt. Perhaps it will be you that initiates some positive change in your life or to help another person or group of people.
A strong urge to reform something in your life will coincide with an opportunity to do just that. Go with the flow and take full advantage of the opportunities that open up in front of you. This should be a time of great satisfaction with your achievements. Your success should be accompanied by more influence and popularity. It is also possible for your life to be transformed by a person of power and influence.

Increased sex drive and sex appeal is a good omen for new and existing relationships. Your love life will benefit from your loyalty and devotion. Your partner will find your dedication and dependability just as attractive as your lusty desires and stamina in the bedroom. This is a good time to legitimize, consecrate or formalise a partnership.
If dating you will be attracted by strong physical features, musculature and bone structure. You will also want a committed, long-term relationship with the potential for marriage and perhaps children. Your new partner may be a generation younger or older and act like your student or teacher. Lasting success and practical results can be found in business and finance deals, real estate and metals. This is a good time to start legal proceeding, a large business, the laying of foundations or a siege. Expect good relations and support from authority figures like parents, teachers, police and bosses.
Dec 14, 2018 Saturn sextile Ascendant (1 of 1) from December 5 to 23 brings self confidence and self respect. You can look back over previous years and look on your accomplishment with pride and satisfaction. This is a period of culmination in your efforts but also a stepping stone. This is a good time to think seriously about your responsibilities to others and your long term goals. Where do you see yourself in a few years from now?
You should seek advice from elders and professional to help lay strong foundations for the future. The structures you are building now must be solid because they will stay in place for many years.

Such new relationships may start off slow and steady but would end up being long term, dependable relationships.
Dec 16, 2018 Pluto square Venus (3 of 3) from November 6 to January 17 can have a profound effect on your love life. Power and control issues may arise in existing relationships. Simmering tension may come to the surface as some manipulative behavior like jealousy or possessiveness. At the root of such behaviors would be a deeply buried fear or insecurity about not feeling loved or valued. Of course, it may be you who is subject to such behaviors from a partner.
Threats and ultimatums are possible if either partner feels smothered or controlled. An unhealthy relationship may breakdown which would be very painful or dramatic. A well based relationship will withstand the intensity of this transit. In this case, there would still be some kind of transformation undertaken within the relationships dynamics. New love is possible now and it could seem like instant attraction. However, you must also realize that such an infatuation may lead to an abusive or even violent attachment.
Dec 17, 2018 Neptune opposite Mercury (3 of 3) continued from September 16 to January 29 brings mental confusion and the potential for relationship problems due to miscommunication. Your perception of reality is clouded due to an inability to filter out the background noise or useless information.

You will feel generous and and very maternal, wanting to protect and nurture your family and make babies.
Your home and personal life is most important now and you will want to make your home a more comfortable and positive environment. This would be a good time to invest money in your home, or buy a new home or an investment property.
You should be feeling more sociable than usual and this is a good time for entertaining in your home. Seeing old friends and family will make you realize how your past experiences make you feel happy and content now. Women in particular can be of assistance now on some maternal way. One possible drawback to this positive transit is overeating or gluttony with other things that make you feel comfortable.
Jan 03, 2019 Jupiter square Sun (1 of 1) from December 30 to January 8 does create some tests and challenges like all squares do, but because Jupiter is beneficial, relating to growth and luck, this transit might just give you the push you need to make some great progress in life. You will feel the urge to expand your horizons, try new things, bigger and better things, to have more fun and make more money. The trick here is not to spread yourself too thin, thereby wasting your energy and talents. The urge for personal or professional success should not be curbed, but channeled into fewer, and not many projects.
Jupiter tends to exaggerate and this will apply to your confidence and ego. You can get lucky and popular now, and it’s OK to be proud of your achievements, but being too proud or vain, and expecting too much of others may cause relationship problems. Jupiter also rules over morals and philosophy, so these areas may be subject of some tension with loved ones or others, especially men in your life. Excessiveness, greed or egotism shown by you or a partner may arise, which will take some higher and more spiritual thinking to resolve.

Jupiter is a fortunate planet, so this does mean that the potential tests and challenges of the square aspect are reduced somewhat. While you will have a widely encompassing view or your position at the moment, it will be important to focus on the smaller details. This is one of the drawbacks of this otherwise fortunate transit. A lack of concentration, or inability to focus, may lead to some errors of judgement or mistakes.
Mercury not only rules your thinking, but also how you communicate. You will have to pay extra attention to how you express yourself under this transit. You may get a bit too cocky and this could come across in your speech as arrogance or even bigotry. Jupiter optimism could get a little out of hand, so don’t promise too much or overestimate your abilities when making plans for the future.

Being less guarded about your feelings and private life can also be an open invitation to interfering mothers, moral crusaders and even the public. This eclipse will be more problematic if you already have difficulty with self-control or addiction. You may react to others people’s possessive or jealous behaviour by subconsciously falling into negative habits and behaviors.
It is also possible that you become emotionally upset or simple feel out of sorts.

At the more personal level, the routine and structures in your life are changing abruptly, required flexibility and a broad view to help you adapt. Old structures and routines may become outdated, as children arrive, or grown up children leave homes. Parents may need more care, or may pass away. Whatever the circumstances, you will be called ion to evolve, and evolve rapidly in order to meet the challenges presented by the disruptive transit.
The powerful forces driving the changes in your life are most likely out of your control, but how you react is not. A considered and methodical approach is best, with knee-jerk reaction not advised.

But again, caution is required because you are more suggestible to all kinds of weird and even dangerous ideas and schemes.

2018 Solar Return
Moon conjunct Ascendant (2°12′) makes you more sensitive to your own feelings and the feelings of others. Heightened emotions and intuition enrich your intimate relationships and attract new people, especially women or sensitive, caring men. They will appreciate how you share your emotions and genuinely care about their feelings and general well-being.
You will likely feel homely but will also enjoy a good public image and popularity. You can sense the mood of a group and connect with them and unify them behind a cause. People will appreciate your honesty, empathy and emotional support and return it as favors or compliments. Dealing with women in particular is very beneficial to you. There is a good chance of forming a significant new relationship this year.
Potential problems can arise by acting and reacting out of habit. Without conscious self-awareness you may regress into old habits and negative behavior patterns. There is a risk of being taken advantage of if you are too generous with your emotions. People who see your kindness as a weakness will drain your energy. Alternatively, you may become unusually moody or emotionally demanding of others.
Saturn opposite Ascendant (1°40′) can bring about a marriage or a separation. If you are with the right person then Saturn can act like relationship glue and bring long-term commitment like marriage. There will be a heavy feeling of responsibility about partnerships whether with a lover, a business partner or open enemy. You need to put in a lot of effort even if you are falling in love and enjoying yourself.
Bad relationships will get more stressful and probably reach a breaking point if the problems are too difficult to resolve. If there is conflict with competitors and enemies it would be because you are making breakthroughs in your professional life and they are feeling threatened or jealous.
You are on the way up to reach your goals. Careful work and perseverance will lead to success. You must take care of all your duties and responsibilities.

Moon opposite Saturn (3°53′) has the potential to make you feel sad, bored or lonely. Difficulty in sharing your emotions can lead to distance in relationships. Conscious awareness of this depressing influence will help you avoid longer term serious consequences such a separation simply because of a bad mood.
A morbid outlook on life is possible and you are likely to see the worst in other people and situations. You may need to work hard to avoid your negative feelings manifesting as depression, loss or disappointment. However, Moon sextile Uranus which I will mention shortly will stop this aspect being so challenging.
Relationships, especially with women, are most often affected. You could feel burdened or guilty about responsibilities for someone much older or younger than you, like a child or grandchild, parent or grandparent. You will probably be feeling sorry for yourself but the worst thing to do right now is bring others down by guilt tripping or moping around them. You are not that much fun to be around so it may be better to stay in your room and accept that periodic melancholia is a natural part of life.
Moon rising opposite Saturn setting makes your intimate relationships the major theme of the year ahead. I expect you will be very receptive to a man much older or younger than yourself and perhaps in your career. A long term relationship of a serious nature is most likely and a formal commitment is possible within the year

Instant attraction is possible and new relationships will take off quickly, You will meet people vastly different from those you normally meet, more eccentric and unorthodox. You should remain open minded this year and let new people show you a new way of living, less structured than you are used to.
The tempo of your life will increase to a level you may find uncomfortable or unstable. Old friends may begin to bore you. They will probably think you are being weird and think your new friends or groups are nuts. You will also want to assert your individuality more in relationships. It is better to loosen up and go with your instinct on this because if you restrain yourself this electric energy will burst out in uncontrolled ways.
Moon sextile Uranus (4°11′) brings stimulating personal encounters and exciting events. You will feel more open to change in your life and may actively seek it out. This is a good yearfor trying something new in your domestic routine or personal life. Your stronger than normal intuition can guide you in making quick decisions on which way to go. Follow your instincts and make the most of any opportunities that come your way. This is a good time to find original ways of doing things because of your inquisitive and inventive nature. You might receive flashes of insight to solve lingering problems in an instant.
Chance encounters can also provide valuable bits of information and you are more likely to stumble upon some critical piece of information while surfing the net. Chance encounters may also lead to instant attraction and new friendships. Women in particular will be a source of inspiration and new opportunities.
Your mood may be changeable and some of your behaviors will seem odd to others. However, you should feel comfortable expressing a unique side of your personality. The lowering of your inhibitions will overcome the restrictive influence of Saturn and facilitate change and excitement in your life. This is also a good year to break old habits and replace them with something new.
Sun opposite Neptune (2°48′) makes you more susceptible to confusion and deception which can lead to insecurity and discouragement. If you can avoid ego conflicts and retreat to a safe place then this is a good time for developing your creative, spiritual and charitable nature. If you cannot avoid dealing with the harsh realities of life then you need to take some precautions to avoid loss and disappointment. You are likely to feel scared of competition or dealing with assertive people.
Your weakened defenses can attract sneaky people who try to take advantage of your kindness and compassion. Then there are the tricksters, charlatans and others trying to sell you things that you do not need or that do not exist.
If it sounds too good to be true then it is. Learn to say no and walk away. Agree to nothing and do not sign anything. Be wary about starting new relationships or at least delay any commitments. Most importantly, be very clear to yourself and others about your intentions. There can be no gray areas, only yes or no. Any deception, underhand tactics or lying on your part will be like digging a bigger hole for yourself.
If you do face disappointment and discouragement then it will be tempting to escape the harsh realities of life through mind altering substances. Just remember you are more susceptible to addiction and overdose, as well as being ripped off.
Mercury sextile Venus (1°17′) is a fun-loving and friendly influence making it so much easier to share your feelings. Socializing should be more enjoyable now because of less stress and more harmony in your relationships. You will have a greater ability to express your love and affection meaning your intimate relationships can benefit from closer bonding.
Extra charm and social skills make this an ideal year for asking for favors. Doing business is also favored because of a good head for numbers and ability to find win-win situations. This is a great influence to help you resolve conflict or break down any barriers to progress.

You will earn respect and praise because of your loyalty and dependability. You may seek out older mentors for guidance. You can also be a teacher and may have responsibility for the upbringing or education of young ones.

All of your senses are stimulated and your intuition should be strong and correct. Flashes of insight are possible when awake, or asleep through vivid dreaming. Any psychic abilities will be enhanced. In fact, this would be an excellent year to start studying astrology or another occult subject.

New friendship made now would certainly be stimulating but may not last too long.
Venus square Mars (2°24′) is another indicator of relationship tension which reinforces a similar theme in your transits from April 2019. But is also suggests a lot of action in this area. It can cause relationship difficulties if there is already some underlying sexual or competitive tension.
In a healthy relationship where both partners have equally strong egos, this solar return aspect can indicate a period of more exhilarating sexual activity. If single, then the increased sexual desire will be matched by a more attractive aura.
Venus opposite Uranus (5°33′) usually signals a change in your love life. If you already have a partner, then an unexpected event may cause a lot of upset tension. It may be that your need for a change or excitement in the bedroom is rejected. Even flirting may lead to some drama in the relationship. A healthy relationships would endure such transgressions and a permanent separation would be unlikely. An affair this year would more likely lead to a rapid separation.
If single there are many options. If dating then a new romance now would certainly be exciting. It is most likely, however, that it would turn out to be a short-lived relationship. But if you are the unorthodox type and need your freedom, a new relationships with a similar person could even lead to marriage. Plus this is a weak influence because of the wide orb and Saturn setting in your solar return chart does point to long term commitment. As Uranus rules the internet, you could fulfill your need for a change through internet dating or other stuff.
Whatever your situation, if love is not an option then change and excitement can manifest in another area of life. Financial windfalls are possible but you should be extra careful with money. There is a tendency to risk it all on suspect schemes or gamble it all away. You could easily find stimulation some other way such as gaming or another form of entertainment.

You cannot restrain this erratic energy so must express your crazy, creative or inventive side in a safe environment. If you have a structured, hierarchical workplace then you should find a creative outlet socially, sexually or through a hobby.
Your need to be different and make your own mistakes needs to be nurtured this year. Better to do this in private with an open-minded partner than in public through a rash action and the resulting ridicule and ostracism. Your goal is to get your kinky or dangerous desires out of your system in a safe way without upsetting others. An original outlook may lead to works of creative brilliance or scientific breakthroughs but you should avoid impulsive actions and taking dangerous risks. Lack of attention and concentration can lead to accidents, especially as when driving or working with electricity or technology. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Because of your enthusiasm, others may congregate around you for a common cause. Some people feel a strong creative urge and find an outlet for their enthusiasm through music, art, dance or drama. You can also follow your dreams for success without needing to sacrifice your ego or material possessions. Wealth, fame and glamour may come but above you should feel happy and content. This solar return aspect adds romance to Moon rising opposite Saturn setting

You can have a powerful influence over the direction of your life and over the lives of other people.

Work presentations in front of a group or in public will go well because you can make them feel like you are one of them. You should feel comfortable being on show and promoting yourself. It would not feel out-of-place for you to reveal more than the usual amount of personal information.
Sun opposite Midheaven (5°51′) requires you to attend to domestic affairs and family matters. At times you may need to withdraw into yourself and think things over. This is the year for personal development, not so much to make a great surge into the outside world. This aspect supports the focus on your intimate relationships found with Moon rising opposite Saturn. But other aspects like Moon trine Midheaven just mention, means your career certainly will not suffer this year.
You may feel demoralized if you get involved with matters that are not related to your real inner needs and concerns. During this year it is best to have more alone time or be with your closest loved ones in your own personal world. You should do this to decide what your real needs are and how you should satisfy them. There will also be very rewarding and satisfying experiences closer to home that help prepare you for when you are focusing on the external world of your profession and the public.
Saturn sextile Midheaven (3°56′) brings professional advancement with respect and recognition. You should expect assistance and favors from superiors. It is important not to feel too duty-bound and thereby deny yourself better opportunities elsewhere. For example you may feel obligated to a boss who showed faith and gave you a start or promoted you. You may feel a responsibility for a parent and miss an opportunity for career advancement in another city.
This is a year of cautious action. If your life is running well then you may not want to risk upsetting things. But again, think about your own future and not what other people expect of you. You do want success and to leave your mark. You can accomplish a lot now through determination and hard work, patience and persistence.
