Looks pretty exciting!

I am still fairly new to astrology, but I think that having an ascendant for a solar return that is the same sign as one's MC is good right?

This past year has been all about developing an arts council, and things are just swimmingly fast. I do feel a bit wobbly but just do some deep breathing to get centred once again. I am hoping next year there will be much fruition in terms of my own personal career as an artist as well as a community advocate.

Any thoughts on what perils and opportunities to watch out for?

Any moves in the works, changes of career, anything out of the ordinary?

Thank you very much as always.

Hoping for some comments.

What I can see is that my Asc & Venus is in Libra this coming year very close to my natal Midheaven. Does that mean that my art career will be more successful?

My hopes are to apply for MFA, at three universities, on in Portland and one in San Diego and one in San Francisco. Is there a possibility of success?

It looks like Saturn and the Sun and Merc are in my second house, is this a good financial sign, that maybe I'll be able to afford the MFA?

There doesn't seem to be a lot happening in houses 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Thank you for any insights.

Thank you kshantaram,
I will watch out for the health issues you have pointed out.

It doesn't look like it will be a very happy year for me next year 2016?

When you say "come Aug" is that prior to the SR or in 2016? The reason I ask is because I tend to feel the impacts of the next year as early as August but the flavour of the year will start to make itself known in September.

I am also going to google the phrases you have stated to help me understand.

Thank you again.
