I. INTRODUCTION

In the Yearly Horoscope, your birth horoscope is analysed according to the planetary movements which occur over the next year. On one level, it is a "predictive" analysis. But its purpose is not the prediction of concrete events. It is an exploration of the inner changes and cycles which occur in every individual and which often mysteriously coincide with events in the outer world.

II. THE YEAR'S MAIN THEMES

The paragraphs which follow describe the main planetary themes which are likely to dominate the year, and which may permeate virtually every area of your life.

A bit of drama does not usually alarm you, but you may not always enjoy the kind of emotional challenges which certain experiences during the next year are likely to bring. This is not because the time is negative, but rather, because the world of emotional interaction is not the one in which you feel most at home. A good deal of the time, your energies are likely to focus on your close relationships and on domestic and family matters, and you may sometimes feel as though your wings are being clipped [...]

Feeling raw

prog. Moon square Moon: Beginning of January 2019 until beginning of March 2019

[..] This period of your emotional development reflects greater emotional maturity. Every important stage of growth is generally accompanied by a conflict, great or small, with what has gone before; and this time is no exception. You are becoming more real as an individual, [...]

There is another importand dynamic at work this year, which may support or contradict the energies described above.

[..] In your personal life you may have to cope with a certain amount of loneliness or limitation, either because a separation forces you to come down to earth, or because your own mood makes it hard for you to feel supported by, and in tune with, those close [...]

Tarnished dreams

Saturn square Neptune: Mid-December 2017 until end of October 2018

[..] You may have needed to be challenged because you may have overidealised family members and hoped that a feeling of belonging would spare you having to venture out into life alone. On the deepest level, it may be a dream of perfect love in a perfect world which is being [...]

III. SIGNIFICANT TRENDS IN EACH SPHERE OF LIFE

Beside the main themes of the year, there are other planetary movements which will dominate your life at different times during the next year. They permeate your emotional, physical, mental and spiritual life, and - most importantly - your Inner Self.

1. THE SPHERE OF EMOTIONS

There may be periods during the year when matters concerning your emotional life take priority in a fulfilling or a difficult way.

A strong sense of self

prog. Moon conjunction Sun: Beginning of August 2018 until beginning of October 2018

[..] You may meet others who epitomise this spirit of self-affirmation in some way, and any new relationships which you form at this time are likely to be a subtle reflection of qualities which you are trying to develop within yourself. This does not mean that such [...]

2. THE SPHERE OF THE PHYSICAL WORLD

Matters concerning your physical and material life are also likely to be important. Some may prove rewarding over the next year, some difficult.

Coping with an unreceptive world

Saturn square MC: Mid-December 2017 until end of October 2018

[..] Most importantly, the role you choose to play may need to be more flexible at the same time that it reflects your deeper values, rather than an image which is conventionally acceptable but leaves you feeling unreal or false, or a rebellious stance which [...]

3. THE MENTAL SPHERE

The development of your mind, and the cultivation of new skills, may occupy a lot of your energy at different times during the year.

A transformed world-view

Pluto conjunction prog. Mercury: For several years, until October 2020

[..] A strong desire to further your education and develop communication skills, may now grip you in very powerful ways, and you may feel committed to a new path which stirs your heart as well as stimulating your mind. The skills you can develop during this period [...]

4. THE SPIRITUAL SPHERE

What gives meaning to any emotional, material or intellectual challenges and changes you might encounter, is your spiritual life. Here too you may experience certain changes in perception and attitude.

The sky is the limit

Jupiter square Jupiter: Beginning of January 2018 until beginning of October 2018

[..] You are in a state of flux, and although new ideas and new visions may emerge, nothing is likely to take clear shape for a while. Examine those areas where you might need greener pastures and broader horizons. Travel might be good for you right now, not just [...]

5. THE SPHERE OF THE INNER SELF

Deeper and more profound than events occurring in any of these spheres is the development of the Self, which underpins everything that happens to us in life.

Struggling against limits

Saturn square Sun: End of December 2018 until end of October 2019

[..] You probably do need to stand your ground at the moment, and it may be right for you to struggle to achieve a cherished goal; but this does not mean fighting against your deeper needs and nature. You may need to reflect long and deeply on what you are trying [...]

IV. CONCLUSION

Each of the sections above describes planetary patterns which will be shared by other human beings. But the timing and distinctive expression of your constantly changing growth pattern is unique to you.
