Your Astro-Forecast begins on the next page. If the time period for an interpretation is, for example, given as "July 1, 2020 (June 15, 2020 to July 15, 2000)", 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.

Aug 14, 2020 (July 7, 2020 to Jan 9, 2020) Nep Sxtil Ven

Your compassion, sympathy, love, and concern for others is magnified now. Your heart reaches out to others more readily, and you are more willing to extend yourself and offer assistance. If there is someone that you are having difficulty communicating with, now is a good time to break through the barrier between you.

Imaginative art and music also appeal to you now. You will be more involved with the arts now and are likely to discover beautiful and imaginative art works that you haven't seen before. If you are artistically oriented, you will be particularly creative now. If you are not artistically oriented, you may improve your home decor, or make other artistic enhancements to your life.

Romantic relationships improve at this time. You are in a romantic mood, and you shower additional attention and affection on your mate. If you are not married or involved in a romantic relationship but you would like to be, there is an excellent chance that you will begin a very positive, fulfilling romantic relationship now.

Aug 25, 2020 (Aug 5, 2020 to Sep 13, 2020) jup sxtil mc

Cooperation and assistance in business relationships is high now and, consequently, significant growth and progress in your career is likely at this time. Communications and contacts in business and professional circles open up, with opportunities to expand your services and professional involvements. Take advantage of these opportunities because they will prove to be very beneficial. There is no need to take risks so avoid wild speculation; a very positive avenue for growth is available to you now. This growth and progress in career is very personally fulfilling and rewarding because the work is meaningful to you, not just a means of making money. Consequently you feel good about yourself and this spills over into a happy attitude towards your family. Improvements in your domestic life are also likely. Do not sit back and watch this influence pass you by; you may feel so comfortable that you do little to take full advantage of the opportunities.

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.

Sep 2, 2020 (Sep 1, 2020 to Sep 4, 2020) Mars Qucnx Asc

Those in your environment are irascible and quarrelsome; they may attempt to embroil you in their disputes. What begins as a high energy competition or purposeful activity may turn nasty. It will be difficult for you to stay out of it; your inclination now is to do something. It would be much better for you to go solo right now rather than attempt a cooperative endeavor.

Sep 6, 2020 (Sep 4, 2020 to Sep 8, 2020) Mars Conj Ven

Strong sexual feelings and romantic passions are stimulated now, and the urge to be with your love partner is compelling. If you are not currently in a relationship, you are likely to be bold and to make the first move toward someone you are attracted to. Artistic and creative expression is also favored now.

Sep 11, 2020 (Sep 9, 2020 to Sep 12, 2020) Mars Sqr MC

At this time your efforts to get ahead and advance your own interests are likely to be met with resistance or animosity. You seem overeager, pushy, inconsiderate, or too narrowly focused on your own objectives, so that you alienate the people who could help you. Try to do as much as you can on your own without trying to force others to agree with you or join you.

Sep 15, 2020 (Sep 14, 2020 to Sep 17, 2020) Mars Trine Sat

Your concentration is excellent now and you are serious about your work. You want to focus on real accomplishment and avoid frivolity and distractions. You may fruitfully tackle difficult, disagreeable tasks or work that usually frustrates you, for your patience and ability to do painstaking work is brought out now. Self-control and self-discipline are required of you at this time but, fortunately, they yield positive results in the long run.

Sep 17, 2020 (Sep 15, 2020 to Sep 18, 2020) Mars Sxtil Nep

This is not a period when you feel like pushing your own interests or one in which you are especially energetic. Other people's concerns and needs receive more attention from you now, and you are more motivated to do something which serves others, perhaps a group you are affiliated with. Cooperating with others for some idealistic purpose is very satisfying for you at this time.

Sep 20, 2020 (Aug 21, 2020 to Dec 21, 2020) Ura Oppos Plu

Your close relationships with others undergo some abrupt changes at this time. The driving force behind these changes is your impatient, demanding need to achieve greater sincerity, honesty, and understanding between you and others. In a marriage or love relationship, you are likely to bring up jealousies and hurt feelings from events that occurred quite a long time ago. You feel the need to air out and clear your feelings and to stop hiding things from each other. If you feel that the other person is unapproachable on these topics or that you simply don't have the courage to bring them up, the feelings will brew and seethe, and you will vent your feelings by being bossy, impatient, demanding, and angry with the other person. You will blame your partner for various problems in your life, rather than admit that you have quite a lot to do with your problems as well!

You are in a reforming spirit now. Impatient and unwilling to compromise, you are quick to see the flaws, insincerities, ego trips, and personal ambitions that warp the functioning of organizations, businesses, and governments. You are likely to find yourself being forthright and direct about political and social issues, expressing yourself with emotion and conviction. You simply do not have the patience to allow important issues to be glossed over, ignored, or distorted. You also pursue your own personal goals and career now with greater dedication, conviction, and honesty. One warning: do not be too tactless and strident in your dealings with others. You tend to express yourself in a manner that polarizes you against others and causes others to feel like adversaries. A tactful and harmonious style will usually better achieve your goals without compromising your message.

Now is the time to break old habits and start new ones. Be careful, however, in making major career decisions or business agreements. Because this is an unstable time with lots of changes, it is often better to wait until things settle down more and the best alternatives can be better discerned.

Sep 23, 2020 (Sep 21, 2020 to Sep 24, 2020) Mars Trine Plu

Getting what you really want and moving toward achieving the things which are important to you may involve surrendering something or eliminating something from your life at this time. Perhaps an attitude, a situation, or an attachment that has been impeding you is now released. You feel free to concentrate on the things that are most important to you now. Major, long-term changes can be successfully begun now - a lifestyle change or a regimen of self-improvement, for instance.

Sep 28, 2020 (Sep 17, 2020 to Oct 7, 2020) Jup Oppos Sun

During this time period, you feel like it is time to "go for the gold". You want to hit the jackpot, and you may find yourself walking with a little extra spring and bounce and whistling zippity-doo-dah! This is, indeed, a time of opportunity and good times. However, you also tend to harbor unrealistic hopes, exaggerate the possibilities, and lack a sense of realism.

Your need for fulfillment and success is strong, and you may splurge, run up a very high bill on your credit card, or take on a new monthly payment in order to obtain the possessions that you want. However, do not let material acquisitions be a substitute for the fulfillment derived from personal achievement and success. If you allow this to happen, you will regret your purchases and become inclined to feel depressed and empty after your buying spree.

You may also find your moods swinging from very high points of enthusiasm and optimism to low points of discontent and restlessness. This results from the increased need for success and fulfillment that you feel at this time. If you feel like you are not successful and you see no new doors opening for you, then you begin to feel emotionally depressed. However, the pep and zest of the astrological influence at work now will not keep you down for long, and you bounce back again.

This is a time to go after your dreams. Try not to feel disappointed if you do not find a pot of gold at the end of each rainbow. But keep looking because you certainly do have a little extra good luck on your side during this time period.

Oct 3, 2020 (Sep 24, 2020 to Oct 12, 2020) Jup Qucnx Ven

Overly generous gifts, profuse sentimentality, cravings for beauty, luxury, or sensual delights, giving in to the temptation to overindulge, or a lack of moderation in romantic or financial affairs are all definitely indicated now. There will be tension within you over these issues, and you are apt to seesaw between immediate gratification and more long lasting benefits.

Social events and festivities may be the scene of some embarrassment or awkwardness, also.

Oct 4, 2020 (May 23, 2020 to Nov 6, 2020) Plu Trine Sat

Discipline, concentration, and determination are the key issues now. You are likely to adopt a rather austere and intense routine during this time period. You stubbornly pursue your interests, and you are willing to work long hours without complaint. This is an excellent time for any form of training or laborious and painstaking work. If you are normally rather lax or scattered in your approach to life, this is a time when you can get your life into better focus and work with much better concentration and discipline. If you are normally disciplined and focused in your work, you are likely to work with extreme dedication and almost compulsive tenacity.

Because your concentration is so good, you enjoy working in solitude now. You enjoy undistracted activities. Solitude and quiet are very enjoyable now, even when you are not feeling very ambitious and just want to relax. This is an excellent time for taking walks or relaxing in solitude. At an unconscious level you are putting your life in perspective and sorting out your situation, and consequently you may instinctively feel like being alone, without consciously knowing why you have this desire. This is also an excellent time for study and research.

Oct 4, 2020 (Oct 3, 2020 to Oct 6, 2020) Mars Oppos Ura

You are very bold and adventurous right now and you cannot tolerate delays, restrictions, or any form of authority that prevents you from behaving exactly as you please. Your drive for personal freedom and insistence on your rights is pressing, and a confrontation in which you have to stand up for yourself is likely. Rashness, sudden acts of anger or violence, and a tendency to try to do too much too fast are tendencies you need to carefully monitor at this time.

Oct 16, 2020 (Oct 15, 2020 to Oct 18, 2020) Mars Oppos Asc

Your relationships have a very competitive, aggressive quality at this time, and conflicts over power and dominance may erupt. You won't compromise yourself to please anyone. Disputes in your marriage or other close partnerships are likely. On the other hand, you may begin a relationship now, boldly taking the initiative to pursue someone you want to be with. You will come on strong to this person, but he or she might just love it!

Oct 21, 2020 (Oct 19, 2020 to Oct 22, 2020) Mars Sxtil Sun

Your physical drive and energy level are high now, and you can accomplish a great deal fairly easily. You are inclined to take the initiative or to strike out on your own, and you are likely to be successful at what you attempt at this time. Because you assert yourself in a positive manner, a leadership role or an opportunity to do something you have wanted to do on your own is likely to be offered to you.

Oct 22, 2020 (Oct 15, 2020 to Oct 30, 2020) Jup Sxtil Asc

This is a harmonious, enjoyable time for you. Things run smoothly and your work is likely to take an enjoyable turn now. Pressures and deadlines are lifted. You may be asked to attend an enjoyable event or travel at this time. You wish that your life was always like this! You are not very aggressive or particularly energetic, but intense effort is not required.

Cooperation and mutual support in business-related and career-related matters is also very high. You will also find that peace and cooperation can be established between factions that have been at odds with each other. Legal matters and any involvement with government agencies or large organizations work out fortunately now. Personal relationships are also harmonious now, and there is an increased appreciation for each others' goals and aspirations, and you help each other more in achieving these goals.

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.

Oct 24, 2020 (Oct 22, 2020 to Oct 25, 2020) Mars Sxtil MC

Working energetically with a clear objective in mind, advancing your own professional goals, and enlisting others' support for your projects by acting as a leader are key issues now. Your superiors and others in authority respond favorably to your confidence and your willingness to take a risk or attack a problem in a new way.

Oct 26, 2020 (Oct 24, 2020 to Oct 27, 2020) Mars Sxtil Jup

Doors open and new opportunities for personal and professional growth present themselves. Any initiative or action you feel inclined to take at this time is likely to lead to a positive outcome for you. Partnerships or joining with others for mutual benefit is favored. Your energy level is high; this is a good time for athletics, especially team sports.

Oct 28, 2020 (Oct 26, 2020 to Oct 29, 2020) Mars Qucnx Sat

You seesaw between caution and impatience, which generates a great deal of stress and inner anguish. You may blame your feelings of oppression and barely contained hostility on an unjust situation, a corrupt society, or your childhood conditioning (any or all of which may be valid) but it is your choices and your own internal struggles which are the real issue at present. If you are feeling drained and discouraged at the end of the day, see how you can readjust your attitude. Right now, trying to do battle with the outside world will be like banging your head against a brick wall!

Oct 29, 2020 (Oct 28, 2020 to Oct 30, 2020) Mars Sqr Nep

This can be a very depleting and confusing time when you do not know exactly what you want or you do not feel strong, capable, or effective. Physically, you need to be gentle with yourself and take care not to dissipate your energy reserves. Your imagination can run wild now, and you want to act out a fantasy or strange desire - something you normally would have the good sense not to attempt. However, if you are an artist, this is a very inspired, fertile time for you.

Nov 3, 2020 (Nov 2, 2020 to Nov 5, 2020) Mars Qucnx Plu

You are willfully resistant to any outside pressure, manipulation, or authority at this time. A fateful encounter with an adversary, one that can neither be avoided nor ignored, is indicated. You seesaw between taking forthright, direct action and using more covert, subtle methods. A desire to break down, destroy, or overthrow existing conditions is also a part of the picture. Be careful with sharp instruments or glass.

Nov 4, 2020 (Oct 2, 2020 to Nov 30, 2020) Plu Sxtil Nep

Your imagination and intuition become much deeper and penetrating during this time period. This is an excellent time period for any form of imaginative work, such as fiction writing or any artistic endeavor. This is also a good time for meditation and other religious or spiritual practices. You can tap a much deeper level of sensitivity and intuition than is normally possible. This increased sensitivity is subtle in your daily life, and is most evident when you do something that draws upon your imagination, such as a creative artistic activity. You may also become very interested in some particular period in history or a particular style of art or music. A particular form of religious symbolism or ritual may grip your imagination now. Your intuition is now able to probe to greater levels of sensitivity, and you can become almost compulsively driven by a particular style of art, music, religion, or culture. Although these interests may seem idiosyncratic and not very important, they are, in fact, very important to your inner development and you should pursue your intuitions with intensity. This astrological influence is a positive one and the biggest problem with it is simply that you may brush off your colorful and powerful intuitions and imaginative inspirations as silly or unimportant.

Nov 11, 2020 (Oct 30, 2020 to Nov 24, 2020) Sat Sqr Plu

Your personal aims, ambitions, and interests meet with unexpected obstacles at this time. Doors that you have been hoping would open are closing instead. The frustrations and obstacles can be deep enough to make you consider abandoning a pursuit or at least make very critical changes in your approach. Finances are tight now and others express little interest and enthusiasm for your ideas, so you have to be very resourceful.

You may reach a kind of identity crisis as you question the value of your deepest ambitions. You may decide that you cannot get what you want out of life, but you would be foolish to give up completely on the things that you love! There are lessons to be learned and changes that are needed, but abandoning what you love due to obstacles alone is not a good enough reason. You must find more effective ways to reach your goals, cut out waste and excess, and more sincerely express your interests. Success in things of importance requires dedication and belief in oneself even when the going gets rough.

You might find yourself getting into power struggles with others. You may try to force your will on others in an attempt to claim what you perceive as rightfully yours. Others may try to dominate and control you. If these problems occur, you need to take some time out from activities in order to think more deeply about your situation and gain a better grip on what is really important to you, and to better evaluate the situation.

Nov 14, 2020 (Nov 13, 2020 to Nov 16, 2020) Mars Qucnx Ura

You act very impulsively and may do something spontaneously that really upsets the status quo in your life. Daring and reckless, you act with fierce independence. All manner of accidents could result from this rash foolishness. You are apt to feel tense, "wired", cross, or out of control. You might wish to avoid traveling at this time.

Nov 16, 2020 (Nov 14, 2020 to Nov 17, 2020) Mars Sxtil Mars

You are capable of forceful, decisive action, and you have the will to carry through on your intentions at this time. Physically, you feel good and your energy is flowing smoothly. Also, your interactions with others are feisty and spirited. You inspire others to take action, and group efforts or joint projects are favored.

Nov 20, 2020 (Nov 11, 2020 to Dec 3, 2020) Jup Qucnx Moon

You are apt to feel overextended, coping with an increase in the family, company in your home, or even an abundance of pleasant opportunities which you are unable to resist. If your life is too quiet or predictable you will be restless, craving some fun or expansion. You also spend money freely, even extravagantly, at this time and you may later regret splurging. Or you may not choose to spend for pleasure but you find your expenses for children or for home improvement will exceed your expectations.

Nov 21, 2020 (Nov 19, 2020 to Nov 22, 2020) Mars Sxtil Merc

You have a lot of mental energy and are eager to "attack" intellectual or conceptual problems. You are likely to come up with a clever solution or a very workable plan, especially if you brainstorm with others. You also tend to make up your mind very quickly and decisively now and to translate your ideas into action.

Nov 21, 2020 (Nov 20, 2020 to Nov 22, 2020) Mars Sxtil Moon

You easily become fired up emotionally at this time, especially about people, places, or causes you have a strong attachment to from the past, such as your alma mater or your home town. You care more passionately and respond instinctively and emotionally to whatever happens to you at this time. Also, you are energized and invigorated now and eager to be involved in projects that benefit your children, family, or home.

Nov 23, 2020 (Nov 13, 2020 to Dec 8, 2020) Jup Qucnx Merc

Your mental outlook is expectant and growth oriented now, and you may well get some news which raises hopes for the future. It is a good time to gather information, network, make connections, and consider any proposals or opportunities which present themselves. However, concrete decisions or commitments are best postponed; you are apt to get yourself in over your head if you don't. Legal, financial, or business matters will prove troublesome now. Small delays, bureaucratic ineptitude, or red tape can be expected.

Nov 23, 2020 (Aug 21, 2020 to Dec 21, 2020) Ura Oppos Plu

This astrological influence (Ura Oppos Plu) also occurred on Sep 20, 1999 (peak date). Please refer to this date.

Nov 26, 2020 (Nov 24, 2020 to Nov 27, 2020) Mars Qucnx Asc

Those in your environment are irascible and quarrelsome; they may attempt to embroil you in their disputes. What begins as a high energy competition or purposeful activity may turn nasty. It will be difficult for you to stay out of it; your inclination now is to do something. It would be much better for you to go solo right now rather than attempt a cooperative endeavor.

Nov 29, 2020 (Nov 28, 2020 to Nov 30, 2020) Mars Sxtil Ven

Friendships and love relationships are favored as you are openly affectionate, warm, and also quite responsive to loving gestures from others. It's not enough for you to simply feel loving toward another; at this time you really want to express it and show it physically. An opportunity for a new romance or friendship is likely to surface now and work out quite nicely for you.

Nov 30, 2020 (Nov 28, 2020 to Dec 1, 2020) Mars Sqr Sun

You are inclined to be aggressive and hot-tempered now, particularly when your will is blocked. Your pushiness or competitive attitude is likely to create antagonism, hostility, and further resistance to your efforts. It is best to work alone rather than try to cooperate or coordinate your efforts with anyone at this time. Also, you are impatient and tend to behave in an impulsive, irritable way which makes you more prone to accidents during this period.

Dec 10, 2020 (July 7, 2020 to Jan 9, 2020) Nep Sxtil Ven

Your compassion, sympathy, love, and concern for others is magnified now. Your heart reaches out to others more readily, and you are more willing to extend yourself and offer assistance. If there is someone that you are having difficulty communicating with, now is a good time to break through the barrier between you.

Imaginative art and music also appeal to you now. You will be more involved with the arts now and are likely to discover beautiful and imaginative art works that you haven't seen before. If you are artistically oriented, you will be particularly creative now. If you are not artistically oriented, you may improve your home decor, or make other artistic enhancements to your life.

Romantic relationships improve at this time. You are in a romantic mood, and you shower additional attention and affection on your mate. If you are not married or involved in a romantic relationship but you would like to be, there is an excellent chance that you will begin a very positive, fulfilling romantic relationship now.

Dec 28, 2020 (Nov 23, 2020 to Jan 24, 2020) Nep Sqr Sun

Your energy level is lower at this time and you are susceptible to catching colds and other illnesses. Regular exercise is excellent for you, but avoid pushing yourself too far as your body doesn't withstand stress and exertion very well now. Also, avoid making drastic changes to your diet. Improving your diet, of course, is beneficial, but your body is sensitive and unlikely to adapt well to sudden changes.

Your motivation and ambition weakens now. You are in a receptive, open-minded mood, and you do not assert yourself as aggressively as usual. You are quite impressionable, in fact, and can be easily talked into doing something that you normally would not do. You can also be deceived and manipulated by others. Do not allow yourself to be pressured into things. Be circumspect and extra careful in all of your dealings. Disappointments and inadvertent mistakes of all kinds are likely, but you can prevent many problems by being extra careful to analyze and meticulously go over important matters.

An occasional escape from your usual routine is beneficial for you now. This is a good time to vacation, engage in art work or music, attend retreats and spiritual or religious gatherings. Reading fantasy or fairy tales and watching movies is also particularly enjoyable now. This is an excellent time to pursue spiritual, religious, or psychic areas. However, this is not a good time to join a church, change religions, or embrace a new religious philosophy because you are very gullible and easily deceived now.

If you have any tendency to drink to excess or use drugs, the temptation to do so now is very strong - but don't do it! In fact, even drugs used for medical purposes have pronounced psychological, and sometimes physical, effects now.

You may lose self-confidence now or you may swing to the opposite extreme and suffer from delusions of grandeur. In either case, your fantastic and idealistic notions of your inner potential clash with the reality of what you have made of yourself. Try not to have unreasonable expectations of yourself. Keep your ideals strong, but remember that ideals should inspire you with a vision of what is possible rather than make you feel bad about current conditions.
