Birthday Forecast

You can know the trends in the coming twelve months from your birthday based onthe influence of the planetsonthedateof birth, this year. This is a simple method and the trends are "general" for all those born on the same date irrespective of the time and place of birth.

Individual forecast can be known from the SOLAR RETURN or Annual Horoscope cast for the time when Sun returns to its exact position in degrees, minutes, and seconds at birth. At times, Sun may return to its exact natal position a day before or after birth date, or a few hours before or after. The time of Solar return usually differs from the time of birth. This horoscope is cast for the place of birth or for the place where you are living at present.

The first method is simple and needs no calculations, except the position of Moon from the Sun on your Birthday during the current year, it is easy to know the position of Moon from the Sun if we know the New Moon and full Moon days during the month. Moon travels in a sign nearly 2-1/2 days.

If the birthday falls on a New Moon day, both Moon and Sun appear in your Sun sign, or first House. So matters related to First House will be significant in the coming year. As the moon remains in the same sign for atleast two days, those born a day before or after New Moon may also get the same results of the First House according to the lunar aspects. The New Moon occurs on 16 October 2001 in Libra. Therefore, those born on 16 & 17 October in any year will experience the results of the First House.

Moon will be in the second house if the birthday falls on third or fourth day from New Moon approximately. (Oct 18 & 19) Moon will be in the third house if the birthday occurs on fifth or sixth day from New Moon. (20^th & 21 Oct) and it will be seen in the fourth sign if your birthday falls on seventh or eighth day from New Moon (Oct 22 & 23).

Moon will be in the 7^th house if your birthday falls on a Full Moon day, or a day before or after Full Moon (Oct 2, 3 & 4). If born three or four days later Moon will be in eighth house (Oct 5 & 6). If your birthday occurs five or six days after Full Moon, you will experience the results of the 9th house (Oct 7 & 8). You may experience the results of 10th house if your birthday occurs on seventh or eighth day after full Moon (Oct 9, 10, 11). The 11th house results may be felt by the persons born on 9th or 10th day after Full Moon (Oct 12, 13) If birthday occurs after 12 or 13th day after Full Moon or one or two days before New Moon you may get the results of the 12th house (Oct 14 & 15).
