If you were born on any of the dates listed on this page, this year is a big one for you. An astrology reading can help you sort out what this year means to you personally.

In a reading, you’ll find out the nature of the change you are going through, how long it will last, when it will be over and how to handle it for minimum anguish and maximum growth.

If you were born on any of the following dates, 2011 could be an emotionally intense year for you:
March 25-28
June 26-29
September 27-October 1
December 26-29

What it feels like:
You may feel as if your identity, your very center, is being melted down and reshaped. At times during the year you may feel lost in the dark, unable to see your way clearly and having to feel your way along by instinct. You may find yourself scrabbling for control and resisting the sometimes extreme rawness and vulnerability you are feeling. You are going through a metamorphosis, a death and rebirth. Be gentle on yourself as the old is burned away, making way for you to be reborn from your own ashes.

What you are experiencing:
Pluto is transiting your Sun.

If you were born on any of the following dates, 2011 could be a year of spiritual change for you:
February 17-19
May 19-21
August 21-23
November 21-23

What it feels like:
This is a spiritual opening caused by a blurring of the boundaries between you as an individual and the rest of the world. You may experience an expanded sense of your connection to all life, punctuated by a periodic sense of the meaninglessness of it all. You may feel as if you are being pulled into other worlds, or as if they call to you as an escape from everyday life. You will probably be tired and need more sleep. You may be plagued by psychic experiences you cannot explain. You may embrace a spiritual or religious path this year, in a new way.

What you are experiencing:
Neptune is transiting your Sun.

If you were born on any of the following dates, 2011 could be a year of paradigm shift for you:
March 21-25
June 22-26
September 23-27
December 22-26

What it’s like:
This year, something is turning your whole head around. It’s as if God opened your skull, rearranged your brain and put it back, different. Something happens this year which startles you and makes you think in new ways. “Who am I?” you ask yourself. “Why am I the way I am? Am I committed to being this way?” Be ready for change, because it’s inevitable, and if you are ready you can turn it to your advantage.

What you are experiencing:
Uranus is transiting your Sun.

If you were born on any of the following dates, 2011 could be a year of profound healing for you:
February 19-24
May 21-27
August 23-29
November 22-28

What it’s like:
Healing takes as many forms as there are realms of human experience, so I cannot say exactly what form this will take for you without actually looking at your chart. I can say that this year you will probably have a wounding experience related to your very being or existence. Be aware that this wounding is not as it seems. It is not actually a fresh wounding in the present, but a reopening of an old wound from the past. Inherent in that reopening is the opportunity to heal the past wound—all of it. It is as if the Cosmic Doctor has broken your leg because it was not properly set in the first place. This is painful, but real healing comes of it, along with the freedom to be your truest self.

What you are experiencing:
Chiron is transiting your Sun.

If you turn 29 in 2011, this will be a year of hard work, pressure to perform, achievement and deserved reward.

What it’s like:
Like most folks born in your year, you will be having your Saturn Return.  Your Saturn Return is a time when feelings of responsibility, duty and even guilt prevail.  You’ll feel a deepened sense of the seriousness of life and an added pressure to get your career together.

If you are 29 this year, your Saturn Return is in Libra.  With your Saturn Return in Libra, you will be feeling much more serious about relationships this year.  All your relationships (romantic, business, friendship, partnerships of all kinds) will take a more serious turn as you feel an increased pressure to build and live up to a reputation for fair-mindedness.  You’ll also sharpen your negotiating skills.  A Saturn Return in Libra is great for anyone who has a career in law or justice, so if that’s you, this could be a time of professional advancement for you.  It’s also great for you if you are a consultant, agent or coach, because you do your work in partnership with clients and Saturn is honing your partnership skills this year.

What you are experiencing:
Your Saturn Return.

It’s incredibly useful to know when your Saturn return starts, when it ends and how its rhythm goes, so you can take advantage of this important life-passage.  Your chart is unique and this period will leave an indelible stamp on your career and your upcoming mature years.  It’s great to be aware of it while it is happening and to be able to influence it, rather than just being influenced by it.

The Saturn Return is a serious milestone in the human life cycle—after you’ve passed it, you will be an adult in a new way.  Any parts of you that you’ve been holding back, waiting for the maturity or the recognition you associate with true adulthood, will now be free to blossom.  Hunker down and do the hard work of self-discipline and the recognition you crave will come to you.
