This year, Jefferson is taking me to the Oregon coast for my birthday. We'll hit Astoria and Tillamook on the way down to Pacific City. Spend Wednesday, Thursday and Friday there. Drive up to Portland on Saturday with a stop at the air museum in McMinnville along the way. Stay the night Saturday and go to Powell's on Sunday before heading home.
Anyway ... Let's see what is in store for next year. One more year until the big 4-0

Happy Birthday
Pisces
If You Were Born Today, March 16: You accept nothing at face value, and are always looking for hidden meanings or deeper knowledge of people and circumstances in your life. You are generally very poised and charming, and have a talent for coming up with money-making ideas and creative marketing projects. Periods of solitude are absolutely essential to your well-being, as quite time is how you refresh yourself. You are self-motivated, perceptive, and versatile. Famous people born today: Jerry Lewis, Chuck Woolery, Isabelle Huppert, Erik Estrada, Pat Nixon, John Butler Yeats.
Your Birthday Year Forecast: The New Moon in your Solar Return chart suggests that you will instinctively begin a new phase of your life this year. A decisively new direction has come about in your life. This can be an emotionally stimulating time in which you feel the urge to initiate and project, even if you are not quite clear about what you are projecting. Much of the energy in your life can have a magical quality to it as things are just automatically going in a certain direction. It is important to be intuitive at this time and allow the natural course to show you the way to the next step. Surprises (mostly very pleasant) pepper your year. New beginnings are in order, and you are bound to feel some level of excitement as the year unfolds.
The Sun conjunct Mercury and Uranus in your Solar Return chart suggests a very busy period ahead, with plenty of activities, interests, and intellectual stimulation. Flashes of insight into existing problems is likely. At times, you may feel like the pace of your life is running ahead of you. You can be especially productive, however, in all types of communications--writing, speaking, learning, teaching, and so forth. There are bound to be some surprises in store. Your thinking is more clever and original this year, and there may be unexpected opportunities for travel (or at least "armchair" travel), as well as new and perhaps unusual friendships. You are able to come up with original solutions to existing problems and brand new ideas more readily this year. Unusual, sudden, or eye-opening connections to younger people are likely to figure. This is a good year for projects involving technology or New Age topics. You may find more opportunities to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, or metaphysics. Your intuition is strong, and insights seem to come from "out of the blue". Original, creative ideas are easy to come by this year.
Jupiter transits your Sun this year, bringing more awareness of moral issues and long-term goals, as well as a stronger than usual desire to improve and learn this year. Optimism and confidence are with you, and you are able to attract fortunate circumstances into your life as a result. Problems are easier to resolve this year. You are more sociable and might meet especially helpful people during this period. Travel opportunities are more likely. Your broader perspective on matters this year keeps you from getting lost in details or overly frustrated by everyday stresses and strains. This transit heightens your optimism and generosity, and the entire cycle, which runs until December, has the potential for being a relaxed, fortunate, and hopeful time in your life. You are greeting life with a fresh, can-do attitude. What happened in the past is not very important to you now--it's the future you're eyeing now. Events occur that help you to overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable--you have an altogether different perspective on life now, and are not inclined much to sweat the small stuff. You create a distinct first impression on others, and your likability increases.
Mars harmonizes with Saturn and Uranus around the the time of your birthday this year, helping to ground you but also keep you open to new methods and possibilities. Much can be accomplished this year, especially if you move ahead methodically with attention on the future. Work is solid this year, and you can see results from your efforts, or at least foresee success down the road. This gives you a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. Traditional methods work, and thoroughness brings rewards. Practice or refining a technique is favored this year. The approach that seems to work best with this aspect is a step-by-step one, with modest ambitions and the appreciation of slow but steady progress.
Saturn is square Pluto in your Solar Return chart. This suggests a need for you to come to terms with your own powers of authority and your effectiveness. Power struggles, frustration, and manipulation are possible themes this year. You may desire change, but feel blocked by others or by circumstances. Alternatively, you may be attempting to resist change that is inevitable. Persistence will pay off in the end, and the need to adjust your expectations becomes obvious.
Fresh new beginnings are in store as you feel like you are beginning a new chapter in your life this year. Personal confidence and hopefulness run high. New ideas are abundant and learning opportunities many. This is a busy period in your life in which you make helpful and stimulating contacts. Work is solid and brings slow but steady rewards. Even so, you are especially imaginative and creative, and channeling this energy into something productive can bring rewards.
2010 is 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 deal with 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. Advice - get yourself organized, work to build your resources, keep busy.

Today ...
Although you can hold things together and put on a strong-seeming front, you have a very vulnerable underbelly -- one that loves to be stroked.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You greet this day with a great deal of enthusiasm and a smile--enjoy the day. Take care with impulsive moods--it could lead to unwise choices. A volunteer project, whether at work or some other place, gets a successful start with your influence. If there is a push to sign contracts, make or give loans, etc., delay the action until another day. Some quiet time at home will help you to relax before a big party this evening. If you are sprouting herbs for indoor beginnings, try peppermint and dandelion. On reflection of a past class or book you may realize that you should give your gardening talent more attention. A social get-together or party this evening is the perfect touch for your special day--HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be more rules and requirements this year than ever before. You might even learn to enjoy jumping through hoops. This is a good skill to acquire, if it can be done cheerfully. That's the part that requires practice.

Happy Birthday! This year, the unexpected runs riot. Actually, you are the common denominator in all this activity; therefore, to make the assumption that you are the source is not far-fetched. Somehow you use Lady Luck well and always land on your feet. Your assets, both financially and emotionally, could come into play. If you are single, check out each suitor carefully. Someone might not be all he or she seems. If you are attached, this year begins a new cycle in your relationship. Use it to make your life together better. ARIES is great at spending your money.
