Page 4Introduction"Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday eachyear: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again."-- Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson
Many people are familiar with their own astrological sign because Sun sign astrology ispopular in today's culture. However astrology is a complicated tradition and manyother techniques exist. These techniques can be used to gain greater understanding ofa person’s nature, but also of their current opportunities. A Birth Chart is produced
that astrologers can interpret. This you probably know. What you may not know is thatastrologers can also calculate a chart for each of your birthdays, and these charts canpredict the patterns that you might experience in the forthcoming year. This is because
each year the Sun does a full revolution of the Zodiac. Therefore each year the Sun
returns to the exact position of your Birth Chart Sun. Wherever you are in the world
astrologers can calculate this birthday chart. This chart is called a Solar Return; hence
the saying "many happy returns". This chart represents the opportunities andchallenges of the forthcoming year. It should also be read in conjunction with your
Birth Chart to fully understand the lessons and opportunities available to you in any
given year.
When using these Solar Return interpretations, please bear in mind that, inevitably,
every chart will contain some contradictory influences. As a result certain
interpretations of different items in the same chart may seem difficult to reconcile.
However, this may still be an accurate reflection of your chart, as it is likely that you
do experience conflicting desires, events and circumstances in your life. Usually an
astrologer will synthesise these apparent contradictions in order to present a cohesive
and meaningful interpretation of the dilemmas of the chart.
Please also be aware of the fact that each person possesses both positive and negative
influences in the chart, and therefore in their lives. The challenge is to accept andovercome the negative influences, so that we can successfully focus on manifesting
the positive traits or qualities. This report outlines both influences, and therefore helps
us to rise to the challenges during any given year. Any advice given is meant to be an
aid the individual in taking responsibility for his or her own life. Ultimately the decisionrests with each individual.

Page 5THIS YEAR'S MAJOR THEME“And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.”-- Abraham Lincoln, US 16th President

The Ascendant

The Ascendant indicates your primary focus of the year. It shows your main direction
and how you are likely to go about achieving your goals. The Ascendant indicates
whether you are more likely to be self-motivated, or whether you are more likely torely on other people during this year.

The Ascendant is in Cancer

Your birthday chart Ascendant is in a feminine Water sign indicating that this year
during which you are more introspective. Traits such as gentleness, kindness andpatience are of more value to you this year. As a result you are more likely to beconcerned about your private life, turning your focus to matters of the home andhearth, rather than professional ambitions. In astrological terms the three Water signs
are considered fertile. Therefore you may be considering whether or not to bear to achild, or perhaps to give birth to a new project. Nevertheless if you do seek a new
project or professional advancement then you are more likely to cooperate in a team,rather than step forward as a leader. Your creative process is also likely to be a gradualprocess as you give birth to ideas, reflecting on different options, and letting theseideas gently transform into actuality. Even if this is not your usual modus operandi,
this year you are content to go slow and perhaps even take a back seat. You may be
more focussed on the needs of others rather than yourself. Emotions may run highduring the course of this year depending on other aspects of your astrology. Your
journey is to learn to follow your intuition, taking into consideration other people'sviews, but not submerging your own desires too severely. If you focus too much onother people's approval then you could lose your way. You are better advised to bethoughtful and caring, but also to value your own feelings and needs.
The caring and sharing sign of Cancer is gently nudging you to incorporate nurturing,life-giving qualities this year. You are more open to those around you, sensitive to theneeds of loved ones. You may be a little more serious this year, reflecting on your rolein your relationships, in particular with those closest to you. Questions may arisearound your family such as, what does family mean to me and where is my true home

Astro Gold Solar Return Report - Tina Turner

Page 6and family? You may feel compelled to make your home more comfortable. Your
nesting instincts are strong, even if you are usually a more extraverted and freedomseeking individual. This year it is time to focus on getting your house in order. The
more secure you feel in your own home, the happier you are to seek adventure
beyond your bedroom slippers.

The SunThe Sun is very important when interpreting a Solar Return chart given that the chart
is based on the Sun. It indicates the major theme of the year depicting the area inwhich you would really like to shine. Parts of your life that have been seemingly
unimportant in previous years can become very important once the Sun shines its lightin a particular house of a Solar Return chart.

The Sun is in the 5th House

If you have been hanging out for a lighter, brighter year then this is it. The major
theme for this year is creativity and fun. It is time to play. From creation will spring
forth. You can do anything that you choose to do. This is your time to express yourself.
You can dance, sing, act, design, write, paint, experiment in mathematics or science,or anything that your heart desires. Last year you sought knowledge, this year yourimagination can reign. As physicist Albert Einstein once said, "I am enough of an artist
to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." Nevertheless you may choose
to study or teach a course in something that inspires your creative genius. This is nota year to be cautious, but rather to take risks. This may be as simple as believing inyourself, backing your own abilities. Alternatively you may like to sky dive, parachuteor fly to another country. This is your time. Read, research and take off in your mindor on a plane. Romance may also be in the air. If you are married then you are likely
to seek more romance from your spouse. If you are single then a new romanticinterest may enter your life. Only time will tell whether or not this is a serious
relationship. The time is ripe for fun and frolic. Later you can assess your relationshipoptions. Towards the end of the year you may like to start considering how you are
spending your resources, but only after you have had some fun and explored youropportunities in many areas of your life.
On a slightly different note children may play a role this year. It is more likely that you
are required to explore your inner child, however; it is also possible that you seek thecompany of children. Perhaps you are enjoying spending time with a newborn baby, or
perhaps a grown-up child has left the nest and you are no longer required to takeresponsibility but rather to enjoy your child's company. Once again the emphasis is on
enjoyment, finding creative solutions and laying the groundwork either for new
avenues of self-expression or for new moneymaking ventures.

2nd House Cusp is in Leo

The Sun also shines its rays on a different area of your annual chart when taking into
account rulerships, a system used by astrologers to link planets and signs. In yourcase your annual Sun is ruling the second house of your chart indicating that you arealso focussed on matters to do with your own money and resources. One of theadditional themes of your year is financial planning. You are focussed on how you earn
your money, how much income you are taking home, and how to pay the bills andplan for the future.

Sun is Conjunct Mercury“Change” is the key word for you this year. The Oxford English dictionary describes thenoun “change” as, “the action of changing, an instance of becoming different.” Thedictionary goes on to describe phrases that involve “change”, “To change hands - (of abusiness or building) pass to a different owner. A change is as good as a rest - proverba change of work or occupation can be as refreshing as a period of relaxation. To

Astro Gold Solar Return Report - Tina Turner

Page 7change one's tune - express a very different attitude. For a change - contrary to how
things usually happen.” All of these things are themes in your life this year. You may
be restless, eager to change your life, or you could be fretful concerned about theimpending differences. Either way change is inevitable. You receive news of changes,
or perhaps you see the writing on the wall and take action yourself. This usuallyfollows some introspection in which you consider all of your options, weighing up thepros and cons. You may also talk to friends, family and colleagues about your ideas,
the ways in which you would like to do things different and decisions that you need to
make. The other parts of this section indicate which areas of your life are likely totransform. You are probably best advised to go with the flow, taking action when you
can and garnering as much support as you can if you are finding adjustments
challenging. Young people may be of help, perhaps a boy child, youth or young man.
Perhaps your responsibilities for someone younger help you make your own
adjustments, or perhaps you are simply asked to take a young man under your wing.
In some cases this can also indicated young women (depending on other aspects ofyour birth chart). Either way your care taking role is likely to help you understandyourself and your own situation better and once again may instigate a change of heartor mind. On the whole you are likely to gain many insights this year, perhaps evencome to terms with how things have changed in your life, and then alter your opinions
and beliefs. As a result you are free to enter a new chapter of your life with fresh
vigour.

Sun is Sesquisquare Ascendant

Success is within your grasp this year, but you may have a few challenges along theroad to accomplishment. Progress is one of the themes right now, as you reassessyour ideas about yourself, your life and your aspirations. However, you are also awareof the factors that are needed to help you along the way. A little patience andpersistence and you are likely to enjoy your time in the sun. Your success is notnecessarily a public achievement. It could be a very private goal that you have been
pursuing. Other factors in your annual chart can shed light on the major theme of thisyear.

Sun is Trine Midheaven

Right now you are teetering on the edge of a major life change. The direction in which
you head is up to you. Therefore this is the ideal time to set aside some time toreassess your career goals, your marital status and your ambitions. The good news isthat you can achieve your goals if you steer a steady course, make the most of theopportunities and stay focussed on your own aspirations. If you are typically a stay-athome type of person then your friends and family are likely to notice a change in yourbehaviour as you focus on achieving some of your own ambitions. Stay focussed,
within reason, on your goals and others are likely to see the light sooner or later. If
you are already an ambitious type then you are likely to really enjoy your time in thesun this year. Promotions, demotions, job offers, proposals of marriage and other suchlife changing situations all hold the promise of adventures into challenging territories.
This year you are up for the challenge.

Page 8THIS YEAR'S PERSONAL MATTERS"The greatest comfort of my old age, and that which gives me the highest satisfaction,is the pleasing remembrance of the many benefits and friendly offices I have done toothers."-- Marcus Cato Roman Statesman

The Moon

The Moon is also an important indicator in a Solar Return chart. Generally speaking
the Moon shows which areas of your life are likely to undergo change during the year.
More specifically the Moon shows your personal needs. Your individual needs andurges are likely to trigger changes in your life during the course of the year.

The Moon is in the 2nd House

It is time to make changes to the way that you handle your finances. This time youneed to follow your heart, as much as your head. The reason is that the Moon in thispart of your chart indicates that your financial needs are important. You feel the needfor security, so how can you best attain this need. In some cases this can also indicatethat now is the right time to purchase a home of your own, if you have not done so
previously. If you are young and searching for security then this year you have theopportunity to purchase or build your own home, either on your own or with a loved
one. If you have been living in rental accommodation, at any age, then you may now
feel the urge to buy a house. It may be that you seek financial security through othermeans. Depending on other aspects of your astrology chart, you may receive financial
assistance that helps you feel more secure. Alternatively you may change your job,seek a promotion, or start a new moneymaking project. It is the ideal time for you to
ask yourself some tough questions about what makes you feel financially secure, andthen to make the changes that support these self-discoveries.
In the same way that you need to focus on moneymaking ideas, you also need toreassess your spending habits. You may find that your personal requirements havechanged, and therefore you need to change your spending habits. Learn all that you
can about the flow of money and then apply it to your own situation so that you canbenefit from an increased sense of abundance by the end of this birthday year.

The Moon is in Leo

This year you are able to put on a happy face no matter what the circumstances. Thisis because you are in high spirits, noticeably so. In some cases this placement of theannual chart Moon can indicate a new romance and perhaps this is sparking yourexuberant attitude. However, it is also just as likely that you are feeling pleased with

Astro Gold Solar Return Report - Tina Turner

Page 9yourself in many areas of your life. You may have instigated some changes that haveturned out well for you, or you may simply be feeling cheerful in the face of adversity.
You have a happy knack of making lemonade from lemons this year. For some reason
you just can't keep the smile off your face. Others are likely to notice your cheerfuldemeanour and be drawn to your fun loving nature. Your social calendar may be full asa result. Right now you feel the need for warmth, fun, laughter and company. You
want to enjoy life to the best of your ability. As you play you may explore newactivities and hobbies, or make the most of your existing talents. The fiery masculine
sign of Leo indicates that you have plenty of initiative this year, and are happy to makethe most of any creative talents. If you are already drawn to the arts then you arelikely to increase your involvement and receive more recognition for your efforts.
Perhaps you become the director rather than the actor, the choreographer rather thanthe dancer or the designer rather than the crew member. However, if you are notartistically inclined then your creativity may find an outlet in a different way. This is afortunate year in which even if misfortune strikes you surrounded by loved ones, andare able to feel good about your own life. You feel privileged to be part of the great
circle of life and indeed, the angels are smiling on you.

Moon is Quincunx Venus

You can't please everyone all of the time, and so you had better decide what, or more
specifically who, is most important to you and then let go of the rest. Your passions
are aroused this year and before pursuing your newfound pleasure you need to makesome adjustments in your personal life. Right now you need to focus on what you
really need in your relationships with your friends and family. If you are single thenyou also need to do a little soul-searching about what type of person really makes you
feel loved and supported. You may meet someone new, someone who excites you andin some ways turns your world upside down. You are drawn to this new person but you
are aware that some things need to change before you can fully explore a relationship.
If you are already in a committed relationship, then you may realize that your personalneeds have changed and that you need to communicate these changes to yourpartner. Your personal life, perhaps your home, needs to also change. You need to stop
dwelling on the past, let go of the things that you can't change and accept the others.
This helps you move forward in your private life, and enables you to make the most of
any new love that comes your way. You may also need to make a few alterations toyour financial budget, so that you can make the most of your income and investments
this year.

Moon is Square MarsThis year you are ready to make changes in your domestic life. You are ready to start
new feel-good projects. You have plenty of energy, and are prepared to pour it into a
project that has personal meaning to you or someone close to you. You could be
prepared to clean out cupboards, pull out weeds and prune shrubs to get your housein order. You may move house, or you may undertake major renovations orlandscaping on your existing home. It is possible that you are feeling restless, irritableand unsure of what emotions are bubbling beneath the surface. You may also feel
angry, intolerant of your own bad habits, or annoyed with someone else's. You need toacknowledge the angry feelings, and act on them in a positive way rather than in amanner that incites conflict. Be aware that you can recognize that the time has comefor change, that you are ready for new adventures in your private life. If you have let
your professional life overshadow your personal needs, then this is the year in which
you redress any imbalances. You are able to assert yourself at work so that you canspend more time at home, with loved ones. If anyone upsets you or your family you
step in. You are also more impulsive this year, apt to attend to your personal needs ona whim. “If I feel like doing this, then why not?” could be one of your mottos. As aresult you may take as many holidays as you can this year, travelling on adventureswith friends and family. You may also enjoy adventure theme parks, sports events orAstro Gold Solar Return Report - Tina Turner

Page 10physical activities. If you have always wanted to go to lose weight and go to the gym,then this is the year to do it. You need only be careful of taking unnecessary risks. It istime for you to step out of your usual comfort zone and take some risks in your private
life, but not to put yourself in danger. Likewise you need to pay attention to healthwarnings. You need to take good care of yourself physically, as well as emotionally.
Excess drinking and eating, and poor diet, are likely to result in medical intervention.
You would be better advised to channel your drive and energy into making changes
that improve your body image, and keep you fit.

Moon is Sesquisquare MidheavenThis year you are juggling work and family commitments. As a result you are likely toreassess your career goals in the light of your emotional needs. You seek more
emotional satisfaction in your career, and are prepared to make changes to achieve
this goal. You may not be in a position to alter your career course immediately, but
you are likely to make decisions in the light of your own, and your family's, needs.

Venus

The planet Venus sheds light on the personal areas of love and finance in theforthcoming year. This planet of love tells you whether or not personal relationships
are likely to be prominent during the year. If you are single then are you likely to
attract a significant relationship? If you are married is this a year of romance and fun,or perhaps one in which you tackle a few changes.

Venus is in the 6th House

This year your social life and your work are intricately entwined. You may beparticularly busy at work and therefore it is easier to wine and dine with colleagues outof hours, or perhaps you have changed jobs and enjoy getting to know your new work
mates. You may also have decided to change your working habits to incorporate ahealthier lifestyle. As a result your lunch arrangements changes as you dine at
healthier outlets, take your own healthy food to work, join a lunchtime exercise groupor cook up a storm in the staff lunchroom. Whatever your circumstance you can beassured that your everyday life becomes more pleasurable this year, and that
opportunities to have fun and improve your lifestyle are likely to arise through yourconnections at work or through a significant lover. You seek pleasure and ease in yourwork environment; forming friendships with everyone, and perhaps taking on the roleof social coordinator. The planet of love is affecting your working day and so you may
also form an intimate relationship with one person in particular. An office romance canspice up your life, and is likely to affect your job decisions. Alternatively a commitment
to a significant lover may change your work commitments.
Your health is likely to improve under the influence of this beneficial planet. If you
have suffered from ill health, then you may start to notice a change. If you are
generally healthy then you may improve your diet, or take up a new and more
pleasurable form of exercise. Dancing, acting, trips to the cinema, sessions withmassage therapists, and any type of game alleviates stress and benefits your healthand well being this year.

Venus is in Capricorn

The planet of love is in an Earth sign this year indicating that you are more security
conscious when it comes to love and money matters. Generally speaking you are notwilling to take risks when it comes to your finances and love life. Even if you areusually more adventurous, this year you are looking for stability. You are less willing tostep out of your comfort zone. If you are single and looking for a lover, then you arelikely to be attracted to a solid and dependable type of person, someone to whom you
can ultimately commit. If you are attached, then you want seek reliability andpredictability. For this reason this year may be one during which you make acommitment, either of your own volition or as a result of your partner's request.

Astro Gold Solar Return Report - Tina Turner

Page 11

Sensuality may also play a key role in your love life this year. Look at other aspects ofyour annual chart for more details on your love life and money matters.

Venus is Sextile Mars

Right now you and your partner are simpatico. You can work as a team, supporting
each other and achieving your goals. No matter what happens this year, you feel thatyou have someone on your side, and vice versa. This is true whether or not you are in
a committed partnership, however; it is particularly true if you are married. Other
aspects of your annual chart indicate whether or not this is an easy-going or
challenging year, but either way you feel ready to take on the challenges. This isparticularly true when it comes to money matters. You are able to work to provide foryour needs, knowing that you are working side by side with your significant other. You
are confident that if you take financial risks then your partner is ready, willing and able
to support you. This has a flow-on affect, further boosting your own confidence andyour belief in your partnership. As a result you may take a risk with your partner thisyear. On a personal note you may strike out on an adventure holiday with your loved
one this year, or take on another physical challenge that delights you, or travel to aforeign land. Your sex life is likely to be enjoyable, as you rediscover your passion foryour own goals, and share them with a beloved partner. If you are single then you arelikely to strike out on your own, trusting in your own ability to support yourself. You
may meet a potential partner, or perhaps form a friendship with someone who helps
boost your confidence.

Venus is Opposite Ascendant

The planet of love is featuring strongly in your annual chart indicating that you arefocussed on love and marriage this year. Whether you are living a solitary life, or in amarriage, your focus is on spending time with someone important, helping him or her
improve their life, enjoy more pleasure or just enjoying their company. Together you
are achieving a more positive and loving relationship, or working towards improving
your lifestyle. You may spend money on a specific venture, but fortunately you arelikely to be in agreement about the benefits that arise from the joint project. It is also
possible that you receive gifts, offers of a business venture or support from asignificant woman this year.

Astro Gold Solar Return Report - Tina Turner

Page 12THIS YEAR'S CHALLENGES"If we could be twice young and twice old we could correct all our mistakes."-- Euripides Ancient Greek PlaywrightMars

The planet Mars tells you about your assertion and drive for the year. It depicts what
motivates you in the current year, and what desires drive you most powerfully. Are
you ambitious for professional power, or do you desire a meaningful relationship? Are
you likely to be highly motivated, or perhaps ready to sit back and cruise for a while?
These are the types of questions answered by the qualities of the planet Mars in yourbirthday chart.

Mars is in the 5th House

What really gets your blood pumping? This is the question that you need to ask thisyear. It is time to not only discover, but also to pursue your true passion. If you havealways wanted to play a competitive sport, create needlework crafts, study chi energy,
or work with young children, then now is the time to pursue your goals. Anything yourheart desires. You just need courage. If there have been obstacles in the past thenthis year you need to blast them out of the way. You may need to face some of yourown fears and failings, in order to move forward creatively. Alternatively perhaps
someone else has been standing in your way. This is your year to overcome theseshort fallings and not just follow your calling, but make it happen. You may enjoy
competing with yourself, or with someone else. Make sure that you are competing for
all of the right reasons. A love affair is likely to spark a change of direction. This could
be an exciting new lover in your own life, or perhaps one of your closest friends orfamily members has a passionate lover, leaving you to discover your own excitement
in life. Your challenge is to focus on your own goals, rather than compete with others
for attention. Even if you have an amorous affair, you are still required to focus on
your own passions rather than become obsessed with your lover. If someone close to
you falls madly in love and you feel somewhat neglected, your challenge is to use thisopportunity to find something that you enjoy. If the affair is short lived, or if you feelpushed aside by your loved one, you may feel spiteful. The more that you take risks,and explore activities that give you pleasure, the more you are likely to make the mostof the opportunities that arise this year. Think of small children, who are crying one
moment and laughing the next. Let your emotions flow just as freely and realize theAstro Gold Solar Return Report - Tina Turner

Page 13

joy of discovery.

Mars is Trine Ascendant

Physical changes occur this year. You are likely to take up a new sport, start a programat the gym, or assert yourself in ways that you have not previously done so. You may
also meet an important man who changes the way in which you see yourself, andhence changes your life. This is a challenging year. The nature of the challenges andwhether or not you welcome them are likely to be reflected in other aspects of yourannual chart.

UranusThe planet Uranus is one of disclosure. It reveals the areas that you need to change
during the course of your birthday year. If you are the type of person who anticipatesand embraces new experiences then you are likely to delight in the challenges, andinstigate a few of your own in the area highlighted by this unpredictable planet. If you
tend to prevaricate, preferring the comfort on known situations, then you are likely to
be in for a few surprises. This erratic planet does not recognise safety and security. Itstask is to help you to grow beyond your limitations. You can either accept or resist thechallenge and see what happens as a result.

Uranus is in the 10th House

When the planet of change sits in the career sector of your annual chart then theobvious meaning is that you are going to change your job, or your career. This could
be because of another sudden event in your life, or because you are keen to rekindle asense of fun and excitement in your professional life. You may want to change to amore unconventional job or career through which you can contribute somethingoriginal and worthwhile to society. You may feel restless within one profession, wanting
a total change in life direction. You may even “try out” different forms of employment
during the course of this year, either through your own choice or through unexpected
external circumstances. If you do not want to change direction this year then you needto ask yourself why not? Are you afraid of taking a risk, or are you truly happy in yourcurrent situation? The answers are likely to come in unexpectedly ways, particularly if
you don't instigate the changes. For instance you may have problems with yoursuperiors at work, because you're so determined to approach your career in your own
individual and original manner. This can create problems if your employers require
conformity and team effort. You suddenly realise that you need to change jobs, rather
than trying to change your current situation. If your superiors do not appreciate yourindividual style then you may need to move to a workplace that does value you as aunique and creative employee. Right now you are unlikely to enjoy being constrainedby workplace rules and regulations. In fact you may be intrigued by the union
movement and tempted to join as an official. On the other hand you may start to
explore how you can gain the freedom to pursue your own talents and ideas. It may
be time to take some professional risks. If you have ever thought of leaving paid
employment to set up your own business, then this is a likely year. It's also possiblethat you'll enjoy a change of career to a more unorthodox field, or travel far away to
pursue a job opportunity. It is time to enjoy the changes that are sparked
professionally this year, paving the way for an exciting and exhilarating new way of
life.

Pluto

Peace can be deceptive. True peace comes when life is balanced, when you are living
true to yourself and are sincerely happy with your life choices. You respect otherpeople and assert your own needs and wishes, and live your life with integrity.
Sometimes it appears that your life is peaceful, but you are really just sweeping things
under the proverbial carpet, keeping the peace by swallowing your own needs orbiding your time until events or people force you to make the necessary changes. You

Astro Gold Solar Return Report - Tina Turner

Page 14can be assured that the powerful planet Pluto will shine a bright light in one or moreareas of your birthday chart and you will see your own process very clearly. If you areliving your life true to yourself then you are likely to reap benefits from this planet oftransformation. However, if you have been dodging the truth then events or people
are likely to change.

Pluto is in the 7th House

The powerful planet Pluto is highlighted in the area of marriage, business partnerships
and contracts. Any contract that involves partnership has the potential to change yourlife this year. The planet Pluto has an uncanny ability to strip self-deceit and force us
to face the truth. You are being challenged to see the truth about marriage andpartnership. If you are single then you may meet a person who transforms your life,
perhaps even prompting a marriage proposal. If you are already married then yourinteractions with your spouse, or an event in your spouse's life, is likely to change in a
way that profoundly affects you. It is best not to resist the strong force of thesechanges. Resisting is likely to create tension, which ultimately may break yourpartnership. You would be better advised to reflect on new possibilities and work cooperatively. It may be tempting to try to retain control, but this is unlikely to serve youwell this year. Trust may be a matter of concern for you. If you trust your newfoundlove, your spouse, or your business partners then you are better advised to go withthe flow, make the changes that you can with integrity and negotiate rather thanargue. If you don't have trust then you may need to reconsider your contracts andwalk away. It is also important that you are trustworthy when it comes topartnerships.
Matters of power are also likely to be prominent right now in the area of relationships.
What does this mean? One dictionary describes “power” as, “the ability or official
capacity to exercise control; authority - a person, group, or nation having great
influence or control over others - forcefulness; effectiveness.” Are you, or is someone
else, being exceedingly forceful right now, demanding changes? You are asked to do alittle soul-searching and face the truth. Do you need to make the changes that theother person is suggesting? Does this person see truths that you have not faced or ishe or she being unreasonable? The challenge is to embrace any suggestions that
positively change your life even if this causes some discomfort. If you are true toyourself, while respecting the other person, then you are likely to enjoy a powerful andrewarding personal or business partnership.

THIS YEAR'S LESSONS"Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time."-- Jean Paul Richter German Writer

Mercury

The planet Mercury helps you plan your year ahead. The Messenger of the Gods in a
Solar Return chart indicates whether or not you are encouraged to forge ahead withyour plans, or perhaps better advised to wait another year before moving ahead. Thisis particularly true for any area of your life connected with communications, study,
business and transport.

Mercury is in the 5th House

This is your year to explore different media for creative expression. If you have artistic
or literary skills then doors may open enabling you to direct your talents into a specificproject. You may enjoy learning a new artistic skill, either professionally or personally.
Art, drama, dance or craft classes may appeal. If you have always wanted to learn a
musical instrument then now is the time to get started. Your creative urges are notlimited to the arts. This is your chance to express your original thoughts in any field.
No matter what else is happening during this year you are able to escape by learning
or applying something that is fun. Children and young people are also likely to attract
your attention. If you are a parent then this is likely to be a busy year taken up withyour child or children's many activities. You may enjoy initiating or participating inthese activities. Either way this is a hectic schedule and you need to be flexible. See
this as the ideal opportunity to reclaim your own child-like innocence and sense of fun.
You can encourage and join in activities such as juggling, circus acts, charades, doing
puzzles, playing card and board games and just simply clowning around. Whether you
have children of your own or not, you are still likely to spend time with young people.
Perhaps you are a teacher, or have the opportunity to lead a creative project thatinvolves young people. Teaching and public speaking opportunities may arise this year.
This could be through your work, or when a relative asks you to speak at a birthday,
wedding, or other special occasion.

Mercury is in Sagittarius

The planet of communications is in a fire sign in your annual chart indicating that you
are open to new ideas and activities. You are quick to voice your opinions this year,
and as long as you judge the mood of your listeners or audience then you are likely toinspire a positive response. For this reason you may start a new intellectual activity,
such as public speaking, writing, marketing and public relations, or performing. You
enjoy expressing yourself freely, and conversing with others. You need to be careful
not to be too outspoken. Your popularity will quickly wane if you are seen as a know-Astro Gold Solar Return Report - Tina Turner

all. You also need to learn not to take on too many projects or you could become
overloaded and tense. You have the best of intentions but you are not an intellectual
super hero, and are only doomed to disappoint yourself and associates if you attempt
superhuman intellectual feats. A little creative thinking goes a long way. So try toprioritise according to what matters most. You can switch off your active mind by
watching television, reading a novel, magazine, or non-fiction book as well as
becoming a fan of the arts. You may also enjoy learning a new skill, or developing yourtalents.

Mercury is Semisquare Venus

In many ways this is a good news year. Even if you are facing some challenges you
have the self-confidence and the support to rise above your difficulties, make plansand decisions that are in your best interest. Ask and you shall receive. Your friend,family and colleagues are likely to help you this year. Offers of love, support and evenmoney may come your way. You need only decide what you most desire and thenannounce your plans, and the rest follows. If you push too hard for your own desires
then you may face some extra challenges. You may need to compromise, rather thanpursue every opportunity. Otherwise you may create a few difficult moments.
Nevertheless your loved ones are likely to support you on your path.

Jupiter

The planet Jupiter tells you about the opportunities and benefits that arise during thecourse of the year. Good news, new prospects and a sense of well being areassociated with this beneficial planet.

Jupiter is in the 8th House

Are you ready for an adventure of a psychological nature? Are you willing to throw off
a few of your personal inhibitions, perhaps even tackle some of your sexual shyness or
wariness of commitment? This is your year to take overcome any personal reserves,
take a few risks and let others see the real you. You may have to tread a path seldom
trod before but you are ready for an adventure or two, metaphorically speaking. This
is not necessarily a journey to an overseas land, or a major change of scenery, butrather the adventure of facing down a few fears and expressing yourself in new ways.
For instance if you have always been fearful of loneliness and therefore ensured thatyou are surrounded by friends and relatives, then this is your year to strike out on anadventure on your own and really test your limits. You may have a few fearful
moments, but you are likely to expand in self-confidence and feel prepared to tackle
anything. You are seeking to break the boundaries of psychological obstacles, so thatyou can learn new methods of interacting with those closest to you, as well as gaining
a sense of your spiritual strengths. You may also be keen to explore the machinationsof the business world, study metaphysics, go on a spiritual retreat or take a sky diving
course. You can also pay off debts, make sound investments, and receive gifts fromother people. You can do whatever it takes to overcome your fears, discover new
reserves of strength and a forge a stronger link to forces beyond your usualexperiences. In some ways you are on a treasure hunt. You have a map, the resources
for your hunt, and a lot of faith and hope in the end result. You may be thrust out ofyour usual comfort zone, but the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. You can beassured this year that you are likely to discover quite a few gems along the way andbe surprised beyond your wildest expectations. If all else fails, you know that you gave
it a go.

SaturnTiming is an important aspect of life. People often comment on being in the right placeat the right time. The planet Saturn can support us when it comes to timing. Is thetime right to take up a new venture, or would we be better advised to shoulder ourcurrent responsibilities for a little longer? These are the types of questions that theAstro Gold Solar Return Report - Tina Turner

Page 17nature of the planet Saturn can reveal when reading a Solar Return chart.

Saturn is in the 7th House

Verbal and written contracts are likely to go through a testing time from now until yournext birthday. This means that any significant agreement that you have with anotherperson is likely to come under scrutiny. In particular marriage and business associates
are highlighted. If you have had a long term agreement, you now query whether it has
withstood the test of time, and whether or not you are still happy with the terms of
the agreement. It is possible that a change in your partner's expectations or plans
have triggered this reassessment. Sometimes this placement of the serious planet
Saturn can indicate that your marriage or business partner has had a serious changeof heart and has put a new proposal on the table. For instance your business partner
may want to go his or her separate way, or a spouse might propose a lifestyle change.
As a result you now need to reassess your own commitment, change the course ofyour partnership, and perhaps negotiate new terms. In some cases this can lead to a
separation, or divorce, as you reach your own limits. This year you are not concernedwith insignificant contracts such as a contract to buy a car, or terms of a personal loan.
The focus is fairly and squarely on bonds that affect the course of your life, such as
marriage and business partnerships. Anything or anyone important is highlighted.
Even if you are not making major decisions right now, it is important that you turnyour attention to the fine print, particularly in business agreements. For instance if you
entered a business partnership on a handshake with no formal contract, so now you
need to get the details and the paperwork organized. If you fell in love and moved inwith your partner now you can formalize your union. On the other hand if you are notmarried then you are likely to seriously consider your status. You may come to theconclusion that you are happy in your life as a single person, or you may begin an
earnest search for a life partner. This can be a testing time in your partnerships, but it
can also be a sacred time, in which you honour your own beliefs and your covenantswith those closely bound to your life.

THIS YEAR'S JOURNEY"Sow a thought, and you reap an act;/ Sow an act, and you reap a habit;/ Sow a
habit, and you reap a character;/ Sow a character, and you reap a destiny."-- Charles Reader Modern Author

Neptune

The planet Neptune represents all that is ethereal in our world, and challenges us todevelop qualities such as faith, hope and love even in the face of adversity. Under the
influence of Neptune we can soar to great inspirational heights, however; if we are notcareful then we can also sink into despair and disillusionment. The test is to lookbeyond the superficial and find meaning in our lives. The planet Neptune in our annual
chart can indicate where to look.

Neptune is in the 9th House

This is quite a mystical year. Unusual experiences, inexplicable thoughts andundeniably strange coincidences invade your life. If you have an open-mind and heartthen this can be an inspirational year. If you have longed to create a great work of art,
write an intriguing novel or study ancient civilisations, then this could be the ideal time
to start. There is something otherworldly about your experiences and your interactions
during the course of your birthday year. This could be a little disconcerting, particularly
if you are usually a very down-to-earth person. You need to take any strange
occurrences in your stride, trusting that there is a higher meaning right now. When
Joan of Arc and other saint-like individuals heard the voices of angels, God or theVirgin Mary, some thought that they were crazy and others labelled them as saints. It
is all in the belief system, both the beliefs of others and self-perception. This is youryear to grow in awareness of the religious and spiritual beliefs of the world at large,
and in your own convictions. The challenge is to understand that this process is not
one that can be easily talked about. You need to find like-minded souls; otherwise
your loved ones may think that you are losing the plot. You can be assured that this is
not the case. Society does not always uphold the process of spiritual insights andenlightenment. If you are feeling a little out of sorts, then you are experiencing what
is called a “crisis of faith”. Therefore your strength lies in accepting that you are
undergoing a process of change, one that ultimately brings you to a better
understanding of your purpose, and your spiritual path. As a result of this process you
may start or end a higher learning course, move to a foreign country, join or leave areligious community, or seek a whole new way of life. In the meantime you can seek
solace in liberal-minded religious organizations, spiritual groups, meditation practices,wise mentors and artistic pursuits. In fact you may take part in rituals or be invited toAstro Gold Solar Return Report - Tina Turner

more religious ceremonies this year as relatives and friends celebrate formal events.
You may also enjoy awe-inspiring natural surroundings, or sitting in a wondrous
cathedral, viewing beautiful angelic art, or singing songs of praise and glory. You may
also benefit from working with your hands, as this can help you feel connected to themore practical earthy side of life. Craftwork, gardening, massage, and physical labour
can be soothing. Have faith that all will be well. God is watching over you.

The North Node

The Nodes highlight the areas of your year that are destined to occur no matter what
you do. When you look back on your life you can see moments when the coincidences
just seemed too uncanny - a chance meeting, a phone call out of the blue or an
instant of being in the right place at the right time. The Nodes can give hints of whichareas of your life are attracting the Fates attention right now.

The North Node is in the 11th House

This year’s journey is not one that you are likely to take on your own. It is time for you
to find common ground with your friends and family. Group activities may appeal. In
fact the opportunity to join a new group, cause or set of friends may cross your path.
Your destiny is linked with this new group of people. If you are accustomed tospending a lot of time on your own, this year sees a change of heart. The
humanitarian side of your nature is to the fore. If you are already a social being thenyou are fated to take a more prominent role in society. You attend a meeting and feelcompelled to volunteer for an office bearer’s role, or a public relations job. It is
possible that other events in your life trigger a change of friendships. A new
relationship may propel you into a different social circle. Whatever your personal
circumstances this is the year that you are destined to discover new hopes, dreams
and wishes through contact with other people.

North Node is Opposite Mercury

Destiny plays its role in news received this year. It could be good news, or challenging
information. Either way you are faced with some tough decisions, which affect thecourse of your life. In some ways you can be comforted that there is no wrong
decision. Your choices are linked with fate and may be ultimately taken out of yourhands anyway. Someone else may have already set in motion decisions that affect thecourse of your life, and you can only choose to go along with them or suffer theconsequences. In other words you may feel like you have little choice in the matter,and this way well be the case. You are destined to receive the news and then it is not
so much what you decide as a result, but how you reach your decision. Your
communications now need to be calm, clear and considered. Later you may see thesense of this time more clearly than you can right now.

North Node is Sesquisquare Venus

You have a date with destiny when it comes to love. “The path to true love is not
smooth” or so the saying goes. This is true for you right now. You need to let go of anold love, or a significant female influence, in order to pave the way for a new one totruly blossom. This does not necessarily mean that your current love is going to end,
but rather than you need to really open your heart for love. If you have been holding
on to someone else in your heart, someone from the past then you are destined to lay
this love to rest, and move on. If your current love is not your heart's desire then you
may need to say goodbye. The point is that the time for excuses is over. In this way
you have a date with destiny. You need to be ready to meet someone new, or to truly
open your heart to your current love. Once you are ready then the obstacles magicallydisappear and you may meet a special someone, or you may marry your current love.
If you are already married, then perhaps you renew your vows or seal your profoundlove with a special ceremony, holiday or celebration.

The direction in which your life is heading takes an about turn this year. Your career,marriage, and perhaps even your home life change direction. If you are single thenyou may meet someone who changes the course of your life. If you are married, thenyou or your spouse may make some life changing decisions. You are likely to change
jobs, or professions, as a result of lessons learned this year. You are on a quest for
more dignity and meaning in your public life. As a result you may make momentous
decisions, meet significant mentors, or receive unexpected help to further your stancein the community. You may have to let go of as aspects of your home, or family, inorder to pursue your life's calling. For instance you may need to relocate in order toaccept a sought-after job. It is time to take steps to further your life's dreams.
