The Sun trine Moon in your Solar Return chart is a fortunate aspect. It suggests that domestic and career needs don't compete with one another this year. Your inner needs tend to be mirrored by external events, and vice versa. This aspect is very powerful and rewarding. It suggests that you will be on top of your game this year for the most part, even given some of the problems outlined below, and positive connections with others can be made. A comfortable level of personal popularity helps to keep conflict to a minimum. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there will be less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you.

Around the time of your birthday, Mars trines Uranus, and this opens up many new possibilities to you. Bursts of creativity and energy that help you to further your goals, as well as the ability to spot an opportunity when you see one, make it easier than usual to break free from habits that have previously held you back from going after what you want in life. Flexibility is the key to success this year!

Flexibility?  Is that like batting JJ in the 5 hole vs LHP?

Age is just a number, right? Then again, what do I know, my wife isn't even 30 yet. But I am.

Cheers, Al! We'll toast to you tonight out here in Michigan.

happy birthday al :)
