Horoscopes - how your sun sign effects your life and dreams
Knowing what effects the stars have on your waking life can help you understand why you dream certain types of dreams at certain times of the year. When you hear people talking about star signs they mean your sun sign; the part of the zodiac the sun was travelling through when you were born. Everyone knows that it isn’t the sun that moves; but from an astrological point of view, the sun is seen to move around the Earth against a backdrop of an imaginary belt called the zodiac. Each segment of the zodiac measures 30 degrees and it takes the sun about 30 days to pass through each one, 12 in all to make up a full year.
If you consider the movement of the sun throughout the year you can choose the more auspicious times for doing certain things, depending on your sun sign. Certain times of year are better for love, adventure, being career minded, or chilling-out and so on, and other times of the year you will find these things confusing or challenging, depending on how the sun energizes your own natal (birth) sun placement.
One month after your birthday, the sun it 30 degrees away from the natal position of your chart, then 60 degrees after two months; astrologers call these geometrical patterns ‘aspects’. The aspects dramatically affect your flow of energy as the year goes by; you can use the chart below to see when your energy levels are high, and when they are low, discover the most auspicious times for different activities.
First select your star sign then follow the page down to the dates on the chart to see where you are now.

Questions
The
time you were born is the month where the sun is in conjunction,
the place it was in when you were born – your birthday.
You feel motivated and ready for anything, your solar
energies are at a high; a whole new year lies ahead with
you feeling keen to celebrate and get on with it. It is
also a time when you may feel unsure of what you want
out of life, your relationship or job. The conjunction
on your sun sign date always makes you question your current
position in life. It’s a time to be proud of who
you are, go out into the world and be yourself.
Relax
In
the month following your birthday the sun has moved away
from your natal sun placement by 30 degrees, which leaves
you feeling relaxed and calm; the touch of its energy
is so small that you feel able to get away with anything.
The motivation you had in the previous month to make dramatic
changes begins to wear off, you may feel less inspired
to take on all the things you said you would. You walk
around with an air of harmony following, feeling relaxed
and inclined to chill-out without a care in the world;
rather than laying back though, you will feel better afterwards
if you tidy up around the place a bit, get rid of some
of your clutter. Relax a bit by all means, but don’t
shirk all your responsibilities and commitments.
Energy
By
now the sun is 60 degrees away from your natal placement;
you’ll be ready for some socializing and partying,
wanting to get out and about, make new friends and contacts
to share your ideas with. Your approach to life is light-hearted
with a willingness to entertain. You admit that you haven’t
done all the things you promised yourself you would, but
you haven’t been totally wasting your time either
because you now have the energy to really get stuck into
it.
Obstructions
Three
months have now passed since your birthday, with the sun
now 90 degrees passed your natal placement. This may leave
you feeling a little tense, along with a realization that
what you want and what you get isn’t always the
same thing. The people around you may seem like they are
being purposefully moody and obstructive, relationships
can be difficult. Your dreams can be full of old doubts
and worries, regrets and old wounds; you are more sensitive
to your friends’ feelings and those of your lover’s.
On the plus side, this energy brings you down to Earth,
making you more determined to accept the challenges life
throws your way.
Harmony
The
sun is now 120 degrees away from your natal placement,
four months after your birthday it is in the same sign
element as your own sign. You will feel at one with the
sun’s energy at this time; there is a sense of having
conquered and overcome a lot of the barriers that faced
you recently. You feel full of life again, lively and
creative. Feeling more at one with yourself opens you
up to romance, you feel more in tune with your true vocation
in life, lovers, friends and family.
Awkwardness
Five
months have now gone by since your birthday, the sun has
passed through 150 degrees away from your natal sun placement;
this time fills you with a kind of uncomfortable energy.
Something in the air or your life doesn’t quite
add up, yet the more you try and work out what it is,
the further you get from the answer. You are pouring everything
into your work and your self-image, but you are unable
to resolve the things you promised yourself on your birthday.
Sticking to the facts and rechecking details will get
you through this awkward time.

Confron-tation
The
sun is now directly opposite your sun natal placement,
180 degrees, six months after your birthday; which means
you are being swamped with volatile energy, making you
feel like everyone around you is better than you are.
You may find that relationships are a bit of a challenge
at this time, but you will also find that they fill you
with power. Your friends will probably not notice that
you are feeling a little lower than normal which will
make you feel invisible and lonely; you can overcome this
by being open to their needs, getting out and talking
to your friends about their troubles. Though your ego
may be at an all time low, it does leave you wide open
for love to come into your life.
Volatile
The
sun is now past the halfway point and heading back towards
your natal sun placement, heading for home as it were.
Though this is another tense time for you, it has a much
more positive aspect to it than the previous month; making
you feel more serious about your relationships and yourself.
A fair chunk of the year has passed now since your birthday,
what have you achieved? As always, there will be some
good points and bad points; but you will have realized
by now that some changes are unavoidable if you want to
transform your life. You are positively charged sexually,
psychologically you have the level-headedness to reflect
on your own or with your partner what it is you really
want. A zest for work, money or love gives you the will
to make serious choices.
Power
Last
month you spent a lot of time being introspective, thinking
deep thoughts about what you really need and want; now
you feel released from all that serious thinking, ready
for adventure, full of energy, enthusiastic and spirited.
There’s light at the end of the tunnel with the
realization that those promises you made to yourself could
actually be achievable. You’ll want to travel, go
with your instincts; run away for the weekend on a whim,
and why not? Try new things, enjoy having a wild time
with your friends and revel in your new freedom. This
is the one month where you can really let your hair down,
show off and be free.
Challenge
As
it was six months ago, the sun is in a tense aspect of
your natal sun placement, but in a challenging and much
more positive way. This time around you are prepared,
you know for a fact that you can face and overcome any
obstacles and challenges set before you and come out smelling
of roses. You have a feeling that everything is doable,
your ambitions are heightened, you no longer feel like
you’re trying to complete impossible tasks, your
sense of integrity will win the day. This month is ideal
for making progress in your job and establishing your
needs.
Harmony
As
the sun approaches there is a feeling of completion, plans
coming to fruition; anticipating great things just around
the corner. The year seems to be almost up and you don’t
feel you have done all the things you set out to do, but
you don’t have time to dwell on that; your mind
is already thinking ahead, to new plans and ventures.
Your energy levels are high, so it is a good time for
making new plans and thinking up new ideas. Keep in mind
that even the loftiest of ideas can turn into something
real and tangible.
Reflect
You’ll
probably need some time out now in the month before your
birthday; you’ll be a year older in a matter of
weeks and another year’s cycle will be complete.
It’s time to sit back and replenish your energy
reserves, take a look at the good parts and the bad parts
of the last year. Once you have taken a good look back
and weighed up all the good and bad points with the 20/20
vision of hindsight; you’ll feel you have the necessary
tools to take on another year and not feel the usual impending
doom normally associated with birthdays, it will be a
joyous occasion. One cycle is ending, but another is about
to be born; relish the new year ahead and allow your personality
to shine through when your birthday come around again.
Great for:
Thinking of others and making relationships work
Great for:
Carpe Diem, seizing the day.
Great for:
Trusting to lady luck, travel and finding romance.
Great for:
Job interviews and promotions.
Great for:
Being aware of your direction in life, achieving your goals.
Great for:
Looking inside yourself and being one with your intuition.
A
bad time for: Building your
own ego through malicious backstabbing and gossip
A
bad time for: Involving yourself
in other people’s affairs, especially those of the
heart.
A
bad time for: Being so carried
away with the feeling that your head grows too large.
A
bad time for: Overreacting,
making a big deal over nothing
A
bad time for: Being too cautious
and overly sensible
A
bad time for: Self-pitying
friends – you don’t want to buy into their negativity
at this time.
