Generally speaking it is a positive phase. If you were born during the night then you experience the shining influence of the Sun's rays in your mid 40s. You have been reassessing your life goals and making the necessary changes. This can range from something as simple as spring cleaning your house, to a more serious change of career or relationship. After a period of letting go and perhaps experiencing a sense of loss, you are now ready to move forward and shine in your life. Opportunities arise in all areas of life. People from all walks of life are ready to help you achieve your personal and professional ambitions. You have the opportunity to live and rich and rewarding life with appreciation from other people. If you were born during the day then you experience the positive influence of the Sun's rays from birth, and then again in your mid 70s if you live that long. Depending on other influences in your birth chart, you are likely to have a rewarding childhood. Your parents dote on you in early childhood, helping you to experience a good sense of self. You may experience some hardship in the first few months of life, according to the ancient astrologers, but this quickly passes. You are a joyful and happy child with loving parents. Later in life you can enjoy the company of friends and your children. The ancient astrologers say that you will have good fortune, a full life, and quiet. Of course other astrological influences could indicate contrary influences. Modern astrologers would state that your early life is a period when your father is a major influence, either positively or negatively depending on the position of the Sun in your birth chart. Planetary Period: The Sun subperiod Venus From Nov 14 1954 to Apr 18 1956 Age 1.4yrs to 2.9yrs If you were born during the night then this phase indicates that you are likely to experience pleasure in all of your activities, but particularly those involving women, the arts, diplomacy and beauty. For this reason you are likely to concentrate on pursuing projects and people who offer you the opportunity to increase your sense of well being. If you are married you enjoy a renewed sense of fun and fulfillment. If you are single you may meet a potential partner and plan a wedding. The ancient astrologers claim that you could make a profitable journey. Therefore you may travel to another place in order to pursue a pleasurable pastime or a significant relationship. You may discover that you are artisan and take up a new hobby that involves the arts, crafts, beauty or fashion. Your finances are also likely to flourish. In general you feel and act in benevolent ways. In turn others are also generous to you. If you were born during the day then this period occurs early in your life then you are likely to enjoy your first bonds with other people. Relatives and friends are likely to dote on you. You may also welcome a sibling into your family. Hopefully this is a positive time where you learn that life can be fun and pleasurable. However, this could depend on other aspects of your birth chart. Whatever your circumstances it is time for you to learn how to interact with others. These skills will influence you for the rest of your life. Planetary Period: The Sun subperiod Mercury From Apr 18 1956 to Sep 22 1957 Age 2.9yrs to 4.3yrs If you were born during the night, then this is a busy time, and you are well advised to make the most of the opportunities that arise. In other words it is time to get down to business. In the previous year or so you have been having a wonderful time, enjoying the pleasures of life. Now you need to concentrate on matters at hand. You may need to make some decisions in either your private or professional life. Either way you are required to gather information, communicate clearly and sign on the dotted line. Matters such as personal interactions, business plans, contracts and marketing plans need attention. If you do not pay attention to these details you may be faced with lawsuits or other such obstacles. This is an excellent time to launch a new project, sales or marketing plan or business. Networking skills come in handy right now. It can be surprising to note what great projects start over a morning coffee chat. The seeds of ideas can now be put into action. Decisions regarding your home, family and financial matters are also highlighted. The more time you spend ensuring that you are well equipped in all areas of your life, the more that you will feel emotionally satisfied in the next phase. If you were born during the day then you undergo these planetary influences at a young age. Ideally the adults in your life are able to tune in to your needs and help you grow in a positive and healthy manner. This will depend somewhat on other influences in your birth chart. However, it is time to start communicating. The people around you shape the way that you learn, speak and perhaps read at a young age. It is a good time to start some type of childcare or schooling, as long as the most suitable place for you can be investigated and booked. Friendships formed now can also have a strong affect on your young life. During this period you are learning about the world, and making decisions that can last a lifetime. Planetary Period: The Sun subperiod The Moon From Sep 22 1957 to Feb 26 1959 Age 4.3yrs to 5.7yrs If you were born during the night then you experience this influence of the Sun and Moon during your late 40s. It is again time to reassess your personal goals in the light of the last few years. Many doors have opened in the last few years and you have been able to enjoy the privileges of other people's support, both financial and emotional. Now you need to take a little more care with your resources. Do you have the resources to carry you forward into the next phase of your life? Do you need to invest a little time and money in those who have supported you? You may find that your circumstances are changing and that you have to adopt the role of supporter and nurturer for a while. The more that you are able to adapt and balance the needs of loved ones with your own, the more that you are able to reap the rewards from this period. On a slightly different note you may also like to change your diet, exercise regime and have a health check up. If you were born during the day then you experience the influence of the Sun and the Moon during your early childhood. During this period your life changes, as does your relationship with your mother and father. The most likely cause is that you start your schooling. Generally speaking this is a period during which you discover more of your own independent self. Ideally you discover your own truths, taking guidance from parents, caregivers, siblings and teachers, however it is probable that the adults in your life are largely in control of the changes that are occurring in your life right now. You are sensitive to your surroundings and need caregivers who are able to tune in to your needs. Planetary Period: The Sun subperiod Saturn From Feb 26 1959 to Aug 1 1960 Age 5.7yrs to 7.1yrs This is a challenging period of life during which you are forced to slow down and make sure that the foundations of your life are solid. It is the ideal time to make changes in your diet and exercise regime, and to have a health check. If you were born during the night then you experience this around 49 or 50 years old. You may have the responsibility of caring for aging parents. Subtly the roles have been changing over the past few years and now you realize that you need to take charge. If you parents are not involved, then other responsibilities are likely to arise. If you have always been a responsible person then perhaps it is now time to learn to care for yourself, put yourself first and achieve some of your own ambitions. If you have led a carefree life then perhaps you will now find settling down more rewarding. Only you can know the answers, however the lesson is clear - put the effort in now to reap the rewards later. If you were born during the day then you experience this period when you are 5 years old. The structure of your life is changing. It is time to separate a little from your parents and settle in to your school life. The planet Saturn and the Sun may be a challenge in your birth chart. As such you may experience this period as a difficult one in relation to your father, or another male authority figure in your life.
