I was browsing the Internet for something irrevelant, and this article found me. I was freaked out by the description of myself (on my precise birthdate) and as I read on, my hair was standing on it’s end. Why? Because it was a forecast for my specific birthdate (December 28). Here’s what it said about me from December 2006 to December 2007:
Busy, busy, busy! The Sun conjunct Mercury in your Solar Return chart suggests that you have a lot to do this year. At times, you may feel like the pace of your life is running ahead of you. You can be especially productive, however, in all types of communications–writing, speaking, learning, teaching, and so forth.
My comment: I planned my own wedding, signed up for yoga teaching certification, moderated a local bridal forum, started teaching yoga classes, signed up for cake decorating classes, dabbled in graphic editing, cooked a lot more creative meals at home, moved from the U.S. to Canada, planning to start a business… there’s no stopping at the moment!
Mercury conjuncts Pluto in your Solar Return chart, suggesting that your mental faculties are attuned to otherworldly impressions this year. This offers you increased insight, psychological understanding and awareness, and focused attention. You are inclined to do a lot of “digging”, researching, analyzing, investigating, and getting to the bottom of things. Increased psychological awareness of yourself and others can benefit you greatly, and employing strategy in your decision making is easier than usual this year. Relationships with younger people may be especially rewarding and meaningful.
My comment: This was brought forth by my yoga certification course, whereby I did a lot of reflecting and soul searching.
Mercury also forms a creative aspect with Uranus, re-emphasizing a strong theme of learning and communication in the year ahead. There may be unexpected and pleasant news this year that enhances your life. You are able to find new insight into old problems, and your thinking processes during this period are likely to be especially original. This is a good year for projects involving technology or New Age topics. You may find more opportunities to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, or metaphysics. Unexpected gains may be realized through such mediums. Your intuition is strong, and insights seem to come from “out of the blue”. Original, creative ideas are easy to come by this year.
My comment: From all the reflection and soul searching, I found myself finding more answers in life. I was also able to see the situation as it is, especially in other’s problems. Yoga is catergorized as a New Age belief (this is paradoxical because it’s an ancient practice that is the science of all religions), so I was quite involved in the satsangs in class. I also learned a lot about graphic editing, just from merely editing the pictures of the food that I’ve made. I had also made quite a few dishes that some said, had been inspiring..LOL.
Mars forms a pleasing angle to Neptune. You are more inclined to act upon your intuition, your sexual fantasies may be especially strong, and your creative impulses are potent. This aspect helps to soften your disposition, smoothing out some of the tension in your life. At times, you will have a “what will be, will be” attitude. This influence favors dancing, swimming, photography, arts, and entertainment. If you are an artist, this could be an especially inspired, imaginative, and productive year. Pay attention to your gut feelings, which will, more often than not, give you valuable information. If you are involved in sales, you will be able to tune into your client’s inner desires and motivations.
My comment: It’s true. I find myself simply “surrendering” to the Higher Consciousness that governs us all. I did not fret at much as before, especially during the latter half of the year. Every decision that I have made this year was driven by my gut feeling. I can’t attest to the part about sexual fantasies though
Venus forms a dynamic aspect to Jupiter in your Solar Return chart, suggesting that your love nature is strong this year, but given to extremes at times. Over-inflated expectations is something to watch out for. You may overvalue something (or someone), perhaps in an attempt to dramatize your life. You could be feeling especially 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. Your appetite for pleasure is very strong this year! You are likely to attract loving relationships and more social opportunities into your life this year with Venus sextile the North Node of the Moon.
My comment: I had been feeling like I just want to let the hair down and party all year round! I can definitely say that I had been very dramatic this year as well. Poor Andy and my family were the people whom I had extreme expectations for due to my wedding earlier this year, hence the manifestation of the dramatic Bridezilla

Revelations are cool, but they can be quite frightening as well. I don’t know if I want to know what’s in for me next year, because it’s not the same feeling if you’re expecting something. When I was a teenager, I used to check my horoscope daily at the end of the day just to check for it’s accuracy. Those were the days. If there’s anything that I’ve learned this year is to trust my gut feeling and simply deal with things as they come by. It’s silly to worry about things that may happen and consequently missing out on what’s righ under our noses. Nonetheless, I’m a WORRIER. It’s half the battle for me to simply not over-analyze things. I’m surprised at my own progress over this past year because of this innate streak in me.
What should I do next year? To change from a WORRIER to a WARRIOR? A warrior of my insecurities and fluctuations of my intellect. That would be awesome
With Yoga as my shield and my sword, that should set me straight for this challenge cum dharma. Like a good friend of mine said, “Dust of your Divine Consciousness and see the true you!!”
With that, I’d like to dedicate this powerful chant to my Purusha and every consciousness around me. My heart cries everytime when I hear this chant.
Asatoma Sadgamaya
asato ma sadgamaya
tamaso ma jyotirgamaya
mrtyorma amrtam gamaya
Lead me from the asat to the sat.
Lead me from darkness to light.
Lead me from death to immortality.
(Brhadaranyaka Upanishad — I.iii.28)
