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.

You may not always enjoy some of the experiences and inner feelings you encounter over the next year, partly because you do not like explaining yourself. Words are not always the best medium for you to express what you really feel, but words - especially those which are clear and unequivocal - may be what is required of you now. Even if you are fluent in verbal expression in creative work, you may be challenged to communicate in more direct ways which make you feel pinned down. Much of your focus [...]

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

[..] You may even find that an increased emphasis on your feelings and needs can help your creative expression and your ability to actualise your dreams, through a greater sense of connectedness with others. Try not to react to feelings of increased vulnerability [...]

Learning self-sufficiency

Saturn square Moon: Beginning of January 2019 until end of November 2019

[..] If you learn to define your own needs, you may upset one or two people. You may even have to say goodbye to one or two people, or put up with a period of coolness or friction. But you will also discover that you have loyal and loving support from those who [...]

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.

Shaky foundations

Uranus opposition Pluto: End of April 2017 until beginning of February 2019

[..] Now you may have to reevaluate these basic responses to life's challenges, because you have outgrown some of them and probably need greater flexibility and trust in coping with the unknown. A major shift in your external circumstances may make you question your ideals [...]

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.

The role doesn't fit

Jupiter square MC: Mid-January 2018 until mid-October 2018

[..] At the moment you are probably seeking opportunities to grow within your public and private life, and to formulate new and more exciting goals which can give you a sense of meaning. But you may need to reflect carefully before you walk out of a job, pick a fight [...]

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.

Too many ideas

Jupiter square Mercury: End of November 2017 until end of August 2018

[..] Your mind may be occupied with how to change or enhance your level of education and communication skills, and you might benefit from developing new interests and activities along these lines. Travel might also be just what you need at the moment, particularly if this [...]

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 necessity of sacrifice

Chiron square Neptune: Mid-April 2016 until beginning of January 2019

[..] You could emerge from this period with greater compassion for your own and others' human fallibility. You could also develop a more detached and philosophical attitude toward life's imperfections. What is critical right now is not your circumstances, but [...]

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.

Memories, dreams and reflections

Pluto trine Chiron: End of January 2016 until beginning of December 2018

[..] By understanding more about the ways in which the past may be affecting your present behaviour and choices, you may achieve a more detached and compassionate attitude toward life and toward yourself. You may have to accept life's unfairness and the [...]

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.
