Your Birthday Year Forecast:
Continuing this year, transiting Uranus harmonizes with your Sun. Your personality is sparkling during this period, which is sure to attract new circumstances and people into your life. Exciting (not jarring) changes and new interests characterize the period ahead. It’s easier than ever to express your unique individuality, and if this involves changing careers or jobs, a new love affair, or an entirely new hobby, it’s something that takes you forward into unexplored territory. You are more willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations. It’s a good time to join organizations and groups and to attend meetings or social events. You can find creative solutions to problems now. Flexibility is the key to success under this influence.
Personal magnetism is tremendous this year. You are playfully competitive and might win a major competition, if applicable. This is a good period for creative projects and joining with others in pursuing a common goal. You are especially creative and expressive, and you might often act on impulse. Your love life may be especially animated. You succeed best in fields or areas that allow you to make something beautiful, attractive, and/or entertaining. You are particularly dynamic at this point in your life, sometimes impatient, and you often experience bursts of energy.
This year, you’re building faith or confidence in your skills and talents. You can experience a stronger desire to seek out meaning, wisdom, and mental stimulation.
This can be a year in which you are bolder and more energetic. You are especially interested in setting goals and challenges for yourself and taking the necessary action to meet them. You may meet or interact with others who encourage or inspire you in some way to have more confidence in yourself. Independent work is favored and competitive activities may also thrive this year. Your passions and enthusiasm run high, and the trick is to channel this extra energy constructively.
You are taking pride in your relationships this year, and you’re putting forth extra effort to strengthen and support others and to build trust. You’re excellent at boosting others’ confidence. You’re seeking equal, fair, and balanced relationships. There can be a stronger inclination towards togetherness and sharing, creating harmony, and sharing power. You are likely to gain a distinct advantage in business or finances, as well.
It’s a good year for group connections or new ideas, beliefs, and dreams. There can be more compassion in your relationships, as well as a real chance of being with–or meeting–someone with whom you connect on a soul level.
This is a powerful period for both teaching and learning. Nurturing a special interest or pouring more love into a project can figure strongly. Researching cooking, health, and nutrition can be fruitful now. It’s also a strong time for promotion, publishing, and marketing.
This period in your life is likely to be sociable and mostly pleasant. Friendships can figure strongly. You’re making personal improvements and your interest in comfort and pleasure increases. Others are taking a special interest in you. You’re more compromising and agreeable or cooperative, yet also assertive.
You may find it easier to express your desires with people in your life this year. You may want to be active with a partner or you team up to get things done. Your powers of negotiation are particularly brilliant. However, you do well independently as well, and in fact, you may feel stronger, more personally powerful, and effective than usual this year. You can do particularly well in a position of management or simply taking the reins and handling life quite expertly.
Bursts of creativity and energy emerge at seemingly perfect times, and they help you to further your goals. Healthy risk-taking is likely this year, as you are more able to spot an opportunity when you see one. It is easier than usual to break free from habits that have previously held you back from going after what you want in life.
There can be someone in your life this year who changes your perspective or encourages your more artistic, imaginative, or spiritual side. Your intuition is powerful this year.
This can be a highly creative year, although you can also be more impulsive than usual! You have both inspiration and determination on your side in the period ahead. You are likely to be quite sociable, and helpful people can come into your life or figure strongly. Work or special projects can be exciting and rewarding, and your social life is likely to open up pleasingly.
2019 is a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time when you find it natural and easy to enjoy life and other people. The focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure than you are in other years. It’s likely to be a rather lighthearted year when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a favorable year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out and connect but avoid scattering your energies.
2020 will be a Number Four year for you. Ruled by Uranus. This is a year of work and development. It’s “nose to the grindstone” time. It’s a time to pay special attention to practical matters, and it’s not a time to be lazy or especially gregarious. Sometimes, it can be a year that feels hard, monotonous and routine, and/or lonely. Positive new relationships are often not formed in a Four personal year. However, it can be a wonderful year for building, development, and laying a solid foundation for future successes. Advice – get yourself organized, work to build your resources, keep busy.

We cooked her favorite meal (Michele’s chicken Lime tacos and Swedish wedding cake) on Sunday a couple weeks before her birthday. I only took a video and it’s pretty dang funny but it won’t let me load onto here. So instead, I snapped a photo from the video of best part, when she laughed while we were singing and shockingly blew some candles out.
Lelu LOVES Cinco and lets him in every time she comes over. She used to carry him like a baby, like in this photo, before he weighed a frickin ton.
Lelu was lucky this year for her birthday. Jake surprised her with a couple nights up at the Marriott in Park City and spoiled her with gifts. She had been talking about how she wanted to go to the Alpine coaster on her birthday and then out to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. The Marriott is right next to the Alpine coaster, so it was perfect. Except that the power went out in the area while B and the twins were driving on their way up to meet them. She felt like the unluckiest girl in the world for about an hour. Jake saved the day and looked up what else there was to do and they ended up going on the bobsled run at Olympic Park. From what I understand they reached G-forces. Thank heavens there’s a trained driver for each bobsled.
