Your Astro-Forecast begins on the next page. If the time period for an interpretation is, for example, given as "July 1, 1999 (June 15, 1999 to July 15, 1999)", then it starts in mid-June, reaches greatest intensity around July 1, and ends in mid-July. The first date listed is the time when the influence has reached maximum strength; we can call this date the "peak date". The influence starts on the beginning date, gradually increases in strength until the peak date is reached, and then it gradually fades out until the ending date is reached. An influence may last for as little as a few days to as long as half a year or so.

      You may also notice that the same interpretation shows up periodically during the year; this is not unusual. In some cases the beginning and ending dates of the 2 influences are the same; the only difference between the 2 interpretations is the peak date. This means that this particular influence has two peak dates instead of one. It is even possible for there to be three or more peak dates for the same astrological influence. To eliminate redundant interpretations, you may be informed that the astrological influence also occurred earlier and that you should refer back to the previous occurrence of this interpretation.

      You may be wondering what the abbreviations after the dates are. For example, you may see "Sat Conj Plu", "Ura Trine Nep", etc. These abbreviations are given for the benefit of astrologers and they show the astrological factor that is in effect.

      We hope you enjoy your Astro-Forecast. For the benefit of astrologers, some technical details are given below.

June 4, 2000    (May 30, 2000 to May 3, 2001)    Jup 3rd H.

      Improved relationships with neighbors and those people you meet on a regular basis in the day-to-day business of life, are likely now. You are more tolerant and forgiving, more willing to remain open-minded on topics you might have been quick to criticize or disregard in the past.

      Restlessness, both physical and mental, may result in taking frequent short trips which are both entertaining and educational. Beginning a new course of study is excellent now.

June 9, 2000    June 1, 2000 to Jan 11, 2001)    Sat 3rd H.

      You are less interested in small talk or inconsequential chatter, and you may find yourself avoiding neighbors or others in your immediate circle as a result. Also, you may have changed significantly over the past year or more, and feel uncomfortable when people seem to be relating to the person you used to be rather than who you are now.

       On another level, this is a good time to begin any formal, disciplined, systematic course of study, as you have the capacity to concentrate and focus your attention on such work now.

June 17, 2000    (June 15, 2000 to July 15, 2000)    Mars 5th H.

       Your drive for self-expression is high now and you pour yourself into competitive sports and games, contests, auditions, and so on with great energy and zeal. You play hard and you play to win. All creative projects and interests will get an extra burst of energy.

       Romantic urges also run high and you will actively pursue the one you desire. A love relationship is likely to intensify at this time.

June 18, 2000    (June 15, 2000 to June 28, 2000)    Merc 6th H.

       Thinking, reading, and learning about how to improve your work, or some aspect of it, is on the agenda now. You may learn a new technique. Discussions with co-workers, employers, and employees are likely to be fruitful, and minor but beneficial changes are likely to result.

       Talking about any health concerns you may have, (with someone knowledgeable) is also helpful at this time.

June 19, 2000    (June 18, 2000 to July 4, 2000)    Ven 5th H.

       You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one.

June 21, 2000    (June 20, 2000 to July 10, 2000)    Sun 5th H.

       You are energized and inspired creatively and emotionally at this time, and you want to bring forth all that is within you. You express yourself more freely, playfully, and spontaneously and are more willing to take chances. The dramatic and performing arts, sports and games, or other forms of self-expression and entertainment appeal strongly to you now.

June 22, 2000    2 PM (June 21, 2000 to June 23, 2000)    Sun Sxtil Moon

      Support from close friends, family, and the women in your life gives you confidence now. This is a good time to mend fences and ameliorate problems in your home life.

June 23, 2000    1 PM (June 22, 2000 to June 24, 2000)    Ven Sxtil Plu

      Your feelings for friends and your emotional responses to life in general are deeper and more intense. The need to share, to give and receive love, and to be accepted and wanted is very strong. You have an opportunity now to see what keeps you from being really close to others - perhaps a forgotten hurt or hidden resentment - and to rid yourself of it by bringing it out in the open or simply releasing it.

June 24, 2000    4 AM (June 23, 2000 to June 25, 2000)    Sun Sxtil Ven

      Your relationships are especially affectionate and friendly at this time, and you may benefit socially or materially through an opportunity offered to you by a friend. This is a good time for parties, social gatherings, and other pleasurable activities.

June 24, 2000    11 AM (June 23, 2000 to June 25, 2000)    Ven Qucnx Jup

      Happiness and a desire to share your good fortune and joy with others is the theme now. You are feeling generous and expansive, and are inclined to give lavish gifts or buy something lovely for yourself that is costly or extravagant. A diet or budget is likely to go out the window right now. As long

      as you don't overextend yourself, this is a good time to indulge your feelings of kindness towards others and also to be kind and indulgent to yourself.

June 25, 2000    12 AM (June 23, 2000 to June 26, 2000)    Mars Sxtil Plu

      You may be considering a major overhaul or revision in your ambitions at this time. If you do not have a sense of meaningful purpose or a passionate commitment to anything, you will want to reassess where you are going and why. If you do have a clear goal, you can make significant progress and work with great satisfaction now. An opportunity to do what you really want to do is likely.

June 26, 2000    (June 21, 2000 to June 30, 2000)    Jup Trine Sat

      You feel the desire to make several minor, but significant, adjustments in your work. For example, if you are engaged in a business activity, you may discontinue some advertising, use new sources for various services that you use, assign new tasks to employees, change advertising to appeal to a new market, make changes in the product line, etc. The worst mistake you can make at this time is to procrastinate and not act on your ideas! At this time you have an excellent sense of balance and proportion, of how to efficiently meet goals and objectives, and you should utilize this sensitivity to improve upon existing situations.

      These qualities are evident in your personal life as well. You are likely to clean out your closets, reorganize, and also discover new opportunities for growth and enrichment. You may find a business or agency that is interested in a hobby of yours, or a group of people may express interest in an area that you have a lot of experience with. Do not let opportunities pass you by; this is a harmonious and pleasant time for you, and one which can also bring some especially nice opportunities to you.

      You may decide to further your education or receive additional training at this time. This training will prove to be a valuable asset for you so take advantage of this opportunity.

      Underlying the changes in your life and the decisions you must make is a change in your values and attitudes towards life. You are now able to see your life from a broader perspective and you seek greater meaningfulness in your life.

June 26, 2000    5 AM (June 25, 2000 to June 27, 2000)    Ven Trine Nep

      At this time you are more sensitive to beauty and also the feelings and needs of others. It is easy for you to give generously of yourself, for you sympathize strongly with other people and spiritual values are more important than material ones at this time.

June 26, 2000    1 PM (June 25, 2000 to June 27, 2000)    Ven Conj Merc

      You use charm, humor, and a light touch to get your point across now, and your friendly attitude makes a favorable impression on others. Your artistic and aesthetic sense is heightened now also, and interest in literature, poetry, and culture is strong. Serious and demanding mental work should probably be put off for another time, as either your mind is more on matters of the heart or you simply want to relax and think of lighter topics.

June 26, 2000    6 PM (June 25, 2000 to June 28, 2000)    Mars Qucnx Jup

      This is an excellent time to begin a new business enterprise or any new venture. You have the drive and courage to make your vision a reality. You feel great physically, and your confidence and optimism are high, so whatever you attempt now is likely to succeed.

June 27, 2000    12 AM (June 25, 2000 to June 28, 2000)    Sun Sxtil Plu

      There are opportunities for deep sharing, and powerful, meaningful contacts with others, especially people who share common goals or ideals. An opportunity for a leadership role is also likely.

June 28, 2000    5 AM (June 27, 2000 to June 29, 2000)    Sun Qucnx Jup

      You feel expansive, enthusiastic, and optimistic now. You want to reach out, do more and experience more. You benefit greatly from the opportunities that present themselves at this time, and a person who will be very influential and helpful to you may come into your life.

June 28, 2000    (June 28, 2000 to July 30, 2000)    Merc 5th H.

       Entertainment and amusements that are mentally challenging, such as chess, crossword puzzles, or other word games, have a strong appeal to you now. You will also enjoy dramatic presentations, the theater, creative writing, and, if you have natural leanings in any of these areas, you will be inspired with ideas for future creative projects.

June 29, 2000    11 AM (June 26, 2000 to July 1, 2000)    Merc Qucnx Asc

      Sales, teaching, public speaking, negotiating, or any endeavor that involves giving information to others is favored now. You are clear, articulate, and communicative at this time.

June 29, 2000    11 PM (June 28, 2000 to July 1, 2000)    Mars Trine Nep

      You do not feel very sharp, competitive, or aggressive at this time. Feelings of relaxation, receptivity, passivity, or aimlessness are likely and you tend to avoid stressful confrontations or situations that demand too much of you. Goals and desires that normally seem so important - especially ones in which you are pushing your own interests - do not matter quite as much now. Your imagination is stimulated, and you need activities and entertainments that are colorful, out of the ordinary, and definitely not mundane.

June 30, 2000    9 AM (June 29, 2000 to July 1, 2000)    Ven Qucnx MC

      Your personal charm and attractiveness has a positive effect on your career, reputation, or public image. People see you as a loving and lovable person, and as someone who is aware of their needs and feelings, which can benefit you at this time. Others are willing to help and cooperate with your aims. Your interest in the arts or in promoting harmony and good will between people is brought out at this time.

June 30, 2000    12 PM (June 29, 2000 to July 1, 2000)    Sun Trine Nep

      At this time you really enjoy art, theater, music, and your own inner world of fantasy. Your imagination is vivid. If you have an interest in spiritual matters, these interests come to the fore now also. The inability to be decisive and a lack of energy or drive is a negative possibility. You can be quite lazy now.

June 30, 2000    1 PM (June 29, 2000 to July 2, 2000)    Mars Conj Merc

      This is not the best time to schedule any activity that calls for tact, diplomacy, or caution, as you are inclined to be extremely straightforward, direct, and to the point in all of your interactions. You say exactly what you think, and in fact are inclined to be verbally aggressive, pushy, or perhaps sarcastic. Your mind is very sharp now, so this is a good time to "attack" intellectual or mental work.

June 30, 2000    9 PM (June 29, 2000 to July 1, 2000)    Sun Conj Merc

      Communications, conversations, sending and receiving messages, and taking care of routine tasks that require mental clarity are important activities now. It is a good time to present your ideas and point of view to others, as you express your thoughts clearly, though you are not apt to listen as well. Buying, selling, or negotiating is likely to go well now.

July 4, 2000    2 AM (July 3, 2000 to July 5, 2000)    Ven Qucnx Asc

      At this time you come across in an appealing, charming, openly affectionate manner which is likely to win you new friends and admirers. You make an excellent first impression now. This is a very favorable time for doing something to enhance your appearance, such as getting a hair cut or purchasing new clothing.

July 4, 2000    (July 3, 2000 to July 28, 2000)    Ven 6th H.

       At this time you have a cooperative and receptive attitude which promotes harmonious relationships with your co-workers, employers, and employees. You may be a peacemaker (or even a matchmaker!) at work. You may, however, not feel like working very intensively. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

July 5, 2000    8 PM (July 4, 2000 to July 6, 2000)    Sun Qucnx MC

      Your career, reputation, and most important personal goals receive a boost now, primarily through your own initiative and willingness to assert yourself. You feel a surge of positive energy.

      Superiors or people in authority will also notice you now and can help you immensely, enabling you to fulfill something you are striving for. Public recognition for your work or your unique personal contribution to the world is very possible.

July 7, 2000    1 PM (July 5, 2000 to July 9, 2000)    Merc Qucnx MC

      At this time you are objective and can make some clear decisions about where you are headed or what the next step to achieve your important personal goals should be. Your judgement is sound at this time. You may have an important professional conference or a conversation about your career. This is an excellent time to seek out your superiors or those in a position to help you advance.

July 7, 2000    4 PM (July 6, 2000 to July 9, 2000)    Mars Qucnx MC

      Your desire for leadership, personal recognition for your efforts, and absolute control over your own affairs is very strong now. You are very competitive in business affairs and you aggressively present your concerns and interests to colleagues and superiors. Anger over an inability to be first, or to be on top, is quite possible, but you won't take it lying down - you are ready to fight if necessary in order to forge ahead!

July 9, 2000    (Feb 10, 2000 to Aug 15, 2000)    Nep Qucnx Plu

      Your personal feelings, attitudes, and ideals undergo changes now. These changes are very deep, and experiences from your early life that you have forgotten about long ago are likely to surface. You are also likely to often feel overcome with unusual feelings and have no idea why you are experiencing these feelings. A wide range of feelings, such as nostalgia, euphoria, optimism, anger, or jealousy may surface.

      This is an excellent time for involvement with self-development practices and workshops, psychotherapy, or spiritual, religious, and metaphysical practices. Dream analysis, hypnosis, meditation, yoga, trips to inspiring places, and psychological treatments (whether it be gestalt therapy, primal therapy, etc.) can be greatly illuminating now. Of course, be discriminating and choose the methods that are most appealing to you; some are much better and more appropriate for you than others. The reason why these activities benefit you so greatly now is not because you have more problems than usual; it is because you are in a period of inner, psychic transition and transformation when you are motivated and ready to make significant changes.

      The changes that occur now can have a variety of effects, such as dropping bad habits (overeating, excessive smoking or drinking, etc.), overcoming lack of self-confidence or limitations resulting from early relationships to parents, increased creativity and imagination, development of psychic abilities, and a new spiritual perspective or religious path.

July 10, 2000    2 PM (July 9, 2000 to July 11, 2000)    Sun Qucnx Asc

      This is a time for you to shine! You have an extra measure of energy and confidence now and will make a strong impression on those in your environment. This is a very good time to go for a job interview, meet the public, or simply go out and be seen.

      You will be noticed more than usual.

      This is also a good time to begin something new, to initiate a relationship or project you may have been considering.

July 10, 2000    (July 9, 2000 to Aug 10, 2000)    Sun 6th H.

       Doing your best work and taking pride in it are a focus for you now. This is a good time to examine how you use your time and energy, with an eye for improving your efficiency and productivity.

       Health matters are also a concern of yours now, and you may be inspired to begin a self-improvement program, create better health habits, or begin a new diet or fitness regimen.

July 12, 2000    3 PM (July 11, 2000 to July 13, 2000)    Ven Oppos Sat

      Conflicts between duty and pleasure, or between sober practicality and a yearning for love and emotional satisfaction, are likely now. This can be a very frustrating time, and you are likely to feel quite alone, emotionally aloof or withdrawn.

      A relationship may end or a temporary break may be made. This is a time to relinquish something or someone you once cherished but which no longer has a positive purpose in your life.

July 14, 2000    12 PM (July 13, 2000 to July 15, 2000)    Ven Sqr Moon

      The craving for sweetness and comfort in the form of loving affection or food is strong now. This is a good time to baby yourself and also to spend time with the people who love and appreciate you the most. Also, you are feeling rather tender and softhearted, and may do something "maternal" on impulse (such as take home a stray kitten, offer to babysit, buy a gift for your family, etc.).

July 14, 2000    2 PM (July 13, 2000 to July 16, 2000)    Mars Qucnx Asc

      You come across assertively, competitively, and energetically now, so much so that you may arouse others' animosity. You don't want to slow down or accommodate other people's needs, and resent it hotly if your own desires have to take a back seat to others' will and wishes.

      This is a time for positive, decisive action on your part, forging ahead, taking the initiative - only try not to do so in a completely insensitive, arrogant manner, as this will almost certainly work against you.

July 15, 2000    (July 13, 2000 to Aug 30, 2000)    Mars 6th H.

       You are fired up at work and aim to accomplish a lot, but friction may arise with your co-workers if you are too impatient and pushy. You are not much of a team player right now and it would be better if you could work on your own.

       This is also an excellent time to begin a health regimen or vigorous exercise program, but be certain not to overexert yourself.

July 15, 2000    6 PM (July 14, 2000 to July 16, 2000)    Ven Sqr Ven

      What occurs now makes you more aware of what you need, feel and want in your relationships. If you are unhappy in your personal life, this is brought out now, and you'll need to face what is causing your dissatisfaction. Differences in personal style, tastes, and ways of expressing affection may emerge. You also feel amorous and loving, and if your personal life is going well, this is a time to really enjoy and appreciate it.

July 18, 2000    9 PM (July 18, 2000 to July 19, 2000)    Ven Oppos Jup

      You are in a festive, partying mood and just want to play and share a good time with your friends. Community social events and fellowship are very rewarding now. Also, at this time it is hard for you to say no to food, drink or extravagances in any form. You are also very generous and tolerant toward others. Though you feel wonderful now, you're likely to regret your actions later if you don't curtail your impulses to overindulge, overspend, and enjoy too much of a good thing.

July 20, 2000    3 PM (July 19, 2000 to July 21, 2000)    Ven Sqr Nep

      Dreams, wishes, and fantasies about love are strong now, and you may be infatuated with someone you meet at this time, only to be disappointed later when you discover this person does not fulfill all of your expectations. You are simply not seeing people objectively now. Your imagination is very active and creative however and so is your yearning for something beautiful. The artist in you emerges, and your creations please and inspire you.

July 21, 2000    3 PM (July 20, 2000 to July 22, 2000)    Sun Oppos Sat

      It may seem that circumstances, other people, or the whole world is against you today! You feel overwhelmed by demands, outside pressures, or your responsibilities and you are looking at your life with serious doubt or pessimism. Others don't seem to help, even if they try to; solitary activity or reflection is called for now.

July 27, 2000    (July 15, 2000 to Aug 12, 2000)    Sat Trine Sat

      Your daily life is steady and stable, although not particularly exciting or unusual at this time. This is an excellent time to make steady, practical progress in your life. You can make great strides in paying off any debts that you may have, and in gaining financial and material security. This is a good time for making long-term investments or gaining training that will provide you with practical, marketable skills. Patient, industrious, and responsible activity brings long-term, practical benefits at this time.

Aug 17, 2000    (July 22, 2000 to Sep 13, 2000)    Ura Conj Asc

      During this time period, you cast off some of your old roles and adopt new ones. You take a fresh approach to life and your personality undergoes major changes. Your role and position in life now strikes you as limiting, and you experiment with new life styles. For example, you may decide to dress differently, change your hair style, and act in a more spontaneous, less conventional manner. You will find yourself tired of being "Bill the businessman", "George the hippie", "Sally the mother and housewife", or "Jane the quiet, intelligent one". Whatever image and role you play in life is likely to be shattered at this time. George the Hippie cuts his hair and Sally the mother takes a vacation to have time for herself.

      Now is the time to break out of some of the molds that you have become accustomed to. Even if your role and position in life is natural and fulfilling to you, there is still the need to explore new attitudes, approaches, and styles now. Don't hold back this impulse; if you try to refrain from making changes, you will find yourself becoming very restless and dissatisfied with your current situation.

      This time period is an unstable one, and you may encounter some unexpected changes. It is possible that your life will not change dramatically, but the possibility of unexpected changes in career or family life often occur during this astrological influence. Be prepared for unexpected major changes if they arise.

      Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate.

Aug 17, 2000    (July 22, 2000 to Sep 13, 2000)    Ura Oppos Mars

      Courageous and undaunted, you step boldly forth, assert yourself, and charge ahead. If you are normally shy and receding, you will burst out of your shell now. If you are a strong and aggressive person, then you will try to take full command of every aspect of your life, and force weaker personalities to submit to you and support you.

      Impatient and dynamic, you work feverishly to bring projects that have been ongoing for some time to a rapid completion. You take on Herculean tasks and expect to accomplish them almost overnight. You feel tired of waiting for the things you want, and you charge forth to claim them. Find a task to do and do it! This is one of the worst times to take a relaxing vacation because you won't be able to relax; you have too much that you want to do right now. If you do vacation, activities like sky diving or white water rafting suit your taste now.

      This can be a volatile and explosive time. If you have a bad temper, then you will need to do everything possible to stay in control of yourself at this time. Pent up anger and hostility surfaces, and relatively minor things can cause you to become upset and angry. You are particularly prone to arguments, disagreements, and power struggles with others. You are inclined to not realize how pushy you are, and others may rebel against you. Make bold steps forward now and work hard, but try not to be inconsiderate of others in the process. Energetic physical activity is almost a must and will make you feel better and accomplish more.

      Also, you may attract domineering people to yourself, and you may need to assert yourself. This problem is particularly likely if you try to repress and deny the powerful energies that you are dealing with now. Be forthright and direct (that should be easy) but also try to be tactful too (which is not so easy).

      Your daredevil attitude may cause you to try dangerous activities or risks that you normally would not consider. Do be reasonable, however, as your impatience and boldness makes you more accident-prone than usual.

      Business decisions and career decisions now tend to be too risky and also warped by your impatient need to accomplish everything in an unrealistically short amount of time.
