The Solar Return is an annual event that occurs around our birthday when the Sun reunites in the sky to the exact sign and degree is what it was at the moment of birth.
Thematically, this is a worthwhile chart to study. It's rich with symbolism for what specific energy trends we are likely to travel along, and is limited to only one year which should make us happy in case we don't like what we see. It's only temporary!
The Sun is the most important planet to consider in the Solar Return chart, but each planetary placement, as well as the aspects between planets, will tell us so much about what to expect over the next year.
The Sun tells us about our greatest energy focus. Is it in the first house? Well, the focus will be on you. Is it placed in the second house? Well then it’s your resources. The third house is your mindset. And so on...
I’ve been avidly studying my own Solar Return chart in depth along with the charts of those closest to me and as a result of this intensified learning experience I have to say, it’s not only a chart worth looking at, but it’s a chart worth going back into your past to prove to yourself how valid the predictions actually were in the first place! I never cease to be impressed by the power of astrology!
