Four Miles From Boring

Bring On A New Year!!

If Today is Your Birthday:

A Sun-Mars-Uranus configuration in your Solar Return chart suggests a whole lot of energy in need of direction! The potential for making impulsive decisions and taking premature action are high this year, as you lose fear of taking risks. This can be constructive or destructive, depending on how you handle it. You are especially dynamic this year, and less patient than usual. Your energy comes in bursts or spurts with erratic Uranus involved. You may be especially successful in sports or any area that requires fast reflexes and spontaneity this year. You are more courageous than usual, but be careful to not go to such extremes that you are foolhardy, as you may fully understand the expression "haste makes waste" during this period. You feel a great need for action, but if you don't know where you're headed, you might take the wrong turn. Unexpected changes in plans or events can test your patience, but they can also stimulate you to make positive changes to your life and to try new approaches, and they certainly act to cut boredom.

The Sun is also trine Neptune around the time of your birthday this year. You could find that your intuition is subtly enhanced with this influence. 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, and does help with the configuration mentioned in the previous paragraph. 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.

With Mercury in trine to Jupiter, your ability to express yourself and to solve problems is enhanced this year. You may have opportunities to travel this year, and matters related to publishing, teaching, and writing should go especially well. You may find that you have the right information at the right time. You could also have big ideas and plans. Work, especially in communications, goes well. Relationships with young people may be particularly rewarding and positive. An optimistic attitude serves you very well. The desire to expand your mind is strong, and this is a good year to take up studies or to further your education. It's also excellent for teaching and speaking.

A configuration involving Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, and Pluto in your Solar Return chart suggests much activity in the areas of personal finances and the social/romantic life! Getting serious about love or money (or both) will be a theme this year. Money may be tight at times, or the need to buckle down with your finances may be necessary. This does not necessarily signify financial losses or hardship, but you are likely to have an increased awareness of your limits. The responsibilities of partnership are magnified this year. You are likely to be more earnest on a romantic level. An existing relationship may become more serious, or you may form a new partnership with a serious or older person. You are likely to work hard this year, and this could interfere with pleasure time. Opportunities to socialize may be reduced, and this could be the result of increased responsibilities or it could stem from your own insecurities or lack of confidence on a social level this year. A contrasting energy is found in a Venus-Jupiter opposition, suggesting that your love nature is strong, but given to extremes. Over-inflated expectations is something to watch out for. You may overvalue something (or someone), perhaps in an attempt to dramatize your life. While at times you may feel insecure on a social level, other times this year you feel quite the opposite: sociable, in the mood to party, dramatic, extravagant, and inclined to overindulge as a result of a feeling of inner discontent and a desire for more from life than daily routines. Pluto adds intensity to the mix, as well as some suspiciousness and more emotional drama! With Pluto, you also attempt to transcend the ordinary in your life. Venus-Pluto can be erotic and intense, but the extreme passions it arouses can also express themselves in jealousies and possessiveness. With Pluto, jealousies are directly related to the fear of losing someone. Something tiny can trigger all sorts of buried emotions, and this can be very revealing! If you find yourself dredging up old hurts, examine the emotional "slush" you've been carrying around with you. Avoid taking it out on your partner or on yourself. This aspect can also suggest making a large purchase or payment and having to adjust your spending as a result. Add Chiron to the mix, and you are likely to have some conflicting feelings. Chiron's influence on Venus is a somewhat inhibiting one, as you can be fearful of investing yourself emotionally in relationships. Essentially, the year is likely to be quite significant and active in the areas of love and money!


2006 is 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.

2007 will be a Number Five year for you. Ruled by Mercury. This is a year of exploration and freedom. It's a time when exploration and reaching out to others brings opportunities. It's a good time to advertise and sell. Surprises are in store, and the routine is broken. 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, mingle.
