***** INTRODUCTION *****

The Solar Return is a chart calculated for the time that the Sun arrives at the exact position of the Sun in your natal chart. That happens once every year around your birthday, but at a different time each year. This chart is calculated for the time of the Sun’s return this year and marks the principal events for the year from birthday to birthday. This report also gives the location of your Solar Return. From this, it can be determined that some places are more favorable than others. With the aid of more than one report you could analyze the changes that are produced in the Solar Return Reports, choosing from different locations where you would want to spend the day.

In some cases you will find contradictions. A planet may be beneficial in a certain area, while others may indicate the opposite situation. This means that you could have two types of possible situations during the year. For example: a lover’s quarrel and a following reconciliation. To get the most out of this report, it will be necessary to use your own logic and intuition, fitting the descriptions outlined here to your own particular case.

The objective of this report is to offer you a practical guide that helps you to analyze this year’s prospects and to learn from them using your free will.

***** FIRST PART *****

Chapter 1:

General characteristics of the year. The external conditions.

Solar Return Ascendant Aquarius :

This will be a very unusual year. It brings different circumstances and experiences and changes in your daily routine. You will have a strong desire for more freedom. You may surprise others around you with changes in your normal, everyday behavior due to the influence of Uranus. You will feel the need for space and a lot of freedom of movement. Anyone or anything that stands in your way will not be tolerated. You are not willing to accept any kind of compromise and you will rebel against what you determine to be undue pressure to conform to the wills of others. If you are not this kind of person normally, the change in your personality will be very obvious. If you are already extroverted and changeable by nature, you should be careful not to go to extremes.

You will be thinking more toward the future than to the present or the past. Your creativity will increase and you will conceive ideas and projects that will be of great value to you in the years to come. You will be looking at what has up to now been important to you and want to discard some of it because your interests are changing at this time and you will be drawn to the new and unusual.

It will be a good year for social relationships and friendships. It also favors participation in group activities, clubs or committees that you may have thought of joining before, but have not acted upon. In spite of your sociability, tension may develop between you and people who may try to limit your freedom.

Physically, you will have a lot more nervous energy that could make you more anxious and restless than usual. It will be important to pay special attention to your nervous system. It is advisable to alternate periods of rest with your intense activity and spend some time outdoors with nature, especially in places where there is clean air and water. This will give you much needed relaxation and quiet. If this is not possible, soaking in water and listening to soft music would be very helpful.

This new obsession with freedom and variety in your life could bring you in contact with people who will want to organize you or control your actions. This will clash with your desire to go your own way. If you already have an important person in your life, they might be upset by the changes in you which could lead to fights or disagreements. You could begin a new relationship with a person who is attracted to your new persona. However, after this year is over, you may lose your interest in the unusual and strange, and your new partner will wonder what happened to you. Actually, this is not the best year for forming any permanent, binding unions unless you are by nature this Aquarius kind of person. In that case, your true character will simply be exaggerated now, and you will have found a person who is actually very compatible with you.

In spite of the complications you may experience this year, you can be sure it will not be dull. Let yourself enjoy whatever adventures you have and the new, fun friends that you have made!

Solar Return MC Sagittarius:

During this year you want to reach for the stars! . Your optimism and your faith will be the principal ingredients for your advancement and the realization of your goals. This influence brings you a dose of general luck with your projects. You have a cosmic protection that will be with you all year. You will more convincing and persuasive than you have ever been. This could be beneficial to you in politics, business or any other related field.

If your usual work is related to travel, tourism, diplomacy, international business, teaching, photography or the theater, it will be a successful year. You might also find yourself renewing an interest in one of these areas that you have had in the past. You might even be involved in more than one occupation during this year. Don’t allow yourself to get too busy or involved, thereby spreading yourself too thin. It’s important to concentrate on your major goals for the year. Otherwise, you will not use your energy wisely.

You could travel and visit other countries during this period, if other indications in this report confirm it. If not, you could use this time to expand your mental or spiritual horizons. You may not have to travel to have new experiences as you could attract into your present physical arena new people who share new ideas and stories of other lands with you. Or you might decide to study a foreign language.

You won’t spend much time at home during this period, and could find a “second” home some place where you feel comfortable. You will be very restless and will have a desire to interact with others. This could take place outside of your home, or you may receive a lot of visitors in your home. There might also be more contact and relating to brothers and sisters and other close relatives. Communication is the major key to resolving any disputes that could arise. If you were thinking of moving, you may think about it even more now, and finally make up your mind to do it.

Chapter 2: Astrological influence of your personality.

Sun in 8th house:

This solar influence produces profound changes, especially in regard to your inner self. You will have to confront old fears, anger, or memories that stick in your mind and chain you to the past. It is a year of regeneration, liberation and transformation, and you may not consider it to be an exactly easy year. You will be guided to search your inner self and identify and release any repressed negative feelings which are holding you back or preventing you from living a free and creative life.

In the material world, this influence favors the acquisition of money through inheritance, legacies, gifts or donations. It could also indicate financial gain from your partner if you are in a committed relationship. Any legal matters, litigations or judgments you may be involved in are likely to be settled in your favor during this time.

It is important to watch your health during this year. There could be danger of accidents or an aggravation of some existing illness. Actually, your well-being depends a lot on your psychological and emotional state. If you have issues that you haven’t dealt with, this would be a good time to seek out professional help.

In no way will this period pass unnoticed in your life. You will go through a process of inner change that will make you a different person in the following years. Listen sincerely to the dictations of your inner voice and your intuition.

You have a greater interest in the occult now and may want to study these subjects in depth. There also is a possibility to have paranormal experiences and to develop an increased power of perception.

Sun square Moon:

This influence could bring tension in your home which will disturb your tranquility during this period. Don’t get too emotional about the problems you have, and try to analyze them more rationally. You could experience disagreements or tension in the relationship with your mother or other female relatives, and you may not always get your family’s approval for what you do or say. You also could have some problems with your health because of your need for emotional balance. Watch out for nervous tension and eat a healthy diet.

You could feel weaker and less effective than usual, and you may find yourself at odds with relatives who are difficult to get along with at this time. You could lose patience with people and if your work exposes you to the public, you should be careful to avoid unnecessary disagreements and misunderstandings, especially with women who won’t tend to approve of your ideas. You will probably be dissatisfied with your daily routine and may even have the desire to change your residence.

Sun square Pluto:

You will be confronted with people or powerful situations that will put all of your strength to the test. Some of these situations will be inner conflicts and you will have to fight your own habits or negative memories that are deeply ingrained inside you. This is a year of transformation and profound changes in your personality. Don’t lose your balance and don’t react aggressively or with violence to tense situations. If you undertake some type of therapy or consultation with a professional, you will manage these energies more positively.

The principal conflicts are brought on by people who exercise authority over you. You will fight for power in order to determine who dominates who. You could be confronted with a person who is overbearing or tyrannical, or it may be you who will dominate and be inflexible when dealing with others. This could cause ruptures in relationships and total changes in your social circle. In addition, this influence could cause breakdowns or problems with machines or equipment owned by you and could lead to disputes over the repairs.

On the more negative side, this astrological aspect could expose you to some kind of physical violence. Control your speed and stay away from people or places that could be dangerous for you.

Sun trine Asc:

During this year you will feel very good. You will enjoy the company of others and, therefore, your relationships will be very favorable. You will show great enthusiasm in your work and everything you do. You will be full of vitality, joviality, and energy. You will be attracted to happy and amusing people and events. There also is a possibility of planning some trips during this year.

Physically, you will have the necessary strength to combat any problems you may have. If you have some physical ailment, you will move toward healing it this year. The improvement will be due to your positive attitude and to your search for gratification and personal satisfaction. You will be revitalized and relaxed and, in return, will induce a similar response from your environment.

The relationship with your father, or with people who represent authority figures in your life, will be very favorable. You could receive the support and collaboration of people in high positions.

Sun semisextile Jupiter:

You will have lucky streaks during this year and can rely on the support of other people. Your optimism and your positive attitude toward life in general will increase. You probably will have a desire to increase your knowledge about certain subjects and will learn more by studying. There also is a possibility of some travel during this year. Don’t place too much trust in your imagination, but use your energies to accomplish the work that is important. Resist the tendency to look for comfort and ease.

Chapter 3: The emotional world.

Solar Return Moon in Capricorn :

You will be more reserved and quiet during this period. You will be less likely to express your feelings during this time and will approach situations in a more analytical and calculated manner. If by nature you are an demonstrative person, you will be perceived by others as being less emotional than usual. If, on the other hand, you are not normally so demonstrative, you will react to things in a much cooler manner. Take care not to become too withdrawn and concentrate on demonstrating your feelings a little more openly. Other people may not understand the message you are sending out as easily as you think they do.

This influence will give you a stronger desire for solitude and contemplation, which could be beneficial for you, but on the other hand, you could have moments of melancholy, sadness or depression. You should learn to control your unnecessary negative thoughts and look to the future with positive expectations. On the positive side, this influence will help you to look at things more analytically and with clarity, and thereby be able to make practical, useful decisions. You should have a successful year if you are able to use your energy in this way. If you are involved in politics, it will be a very favorable year. Because of your dedication to hard work and diligence, you can rise to a higher position professionally.

Due to your common sense approach to things, you may find that your relating to your mother and other women in your life could be rather distant and strained. Try to show your feelings more openly. Listen to and accept the suggestions of others. Take care not to be overly concerned with, or too busy with work matters at the expense of your personal and emotional needs.

Don’t neglect your diet, staying clear of overly-seasoned, fried, or greasy food.

Solar Return Moon in 11th house:

This year will be very good for social and group activities, especially those that are geared toward humanitarian causes. Your social life will pick up considerably and you can count on establishing new friendships, especially with women. In spite of the popularity that you will have, relationships formed at this time might be fleeting. Only some of them can be counted on to endure. Select your friends carefully and don’t waste too much time with people who cannot be a positive influence on you. If you are involved in politics, you will have a very favorable year.

You also will develop new ideas and projects that will be carried out in the future. However, you should plan carefully and logically because you could be likely to change your mind, depending on your mood of the moment.

If you have children who are not your own (foster children or step children), you will be inclined to dedicate more time to them. Your desire for family harmony will increase and will affect many facets of your life.

Moon conjunction Pluto:

Your emotions will emerge from the most secret part of your psyche and will be very intense and profound. You probably won’t have complete control over your feelings, which could impel you to extreme actions. If you are in a stable romantic relationship, you may encounter scenes of jealousy, struggles for power, or possession and manipulation. If you are not involved with anyone, you could begin an irresistible and intense relationship during this time calling up emotions that you have never before experienced.

Your home life won’t be very calm now. This influence could bring profound changes in the structure of your home environment. The relationship with your mother or women in general will be very intense and could generate extreme situations, both positive and negative. Emotions that were repressed or denied will emerge from the depths of your being and you should learn to manage them wisely. If you are in some type of therapy, it will be very beneficial during this year. You will be able to draw strength from your past but could also act too impulsively at times.

You will have to search for ways to relieve your emotional turmoil. Be more expressive and affectionate and control your anger. Your health could also be affected, especially your digestive system. This aspect could bring on female disorders in a woman.

Moon square Uranus:

You will be more edgy and irritable than usual. You will be attracted to unusual ideas and activities. You will be easily bored with your normal routine. You will look for ways to alter your environment and your every-day activities. It’s important that you recognize this and take care not to change those things that are still important and necessary in your life.

Your emotions will be very unpredictable during this year. You will find yourself feeling emotions that you don’t understand and may not know how to deal with. If you are in a committed relationship, this could be a problem as your partner won’t know what to expect from you. If you are involved in a relationship in which there is little excitement or passion, you will feel stifled or blocked. And this could result in your wanting a separation. It would be difficult to begin and maintain a new relationship because you won’t be easy to please during this time. On the other hand, this aspect could bring sudden, unexpected, and unusual relationships.

There could also be problems arising in your home environment. It would be better for you to live alone during this time, if that is possible, because you won’t be particularly willing to see the other person’s point of view or to make any kind of compromise. You also can expect changes in your social circle. In general, relationships will be difficult, especially with women you live with or are associated with.

You should watch your nervous system as well as your digestion. It is important to maintain a light diet that helps the process of digestion during this time, avoiding red meat and fatty or fried foods. Getting regular physical exercise would help to discharge your tensions.

Moon sextile Jupiter:

You will feel a sense of well-being and contentment all year. Your emotions will be very positive and you will be optimistic, happy, and generous. As a result you will earn the appreciation of people in general, increase your popularity and receive spontaneous, willing help from others, especially women.

You will have good fortune in the things that you undertake. This will be mainly due to your sincere and positive attitude. This will also spread to the financial area, where you will probably gain more income. In addition, the atmosphere in your home will be very positive and harmonious. Existing differences and disagreements could disappear during this time, and you will find the support and harmony that you need. The relationship with your mother as well as other women in your life will be very positive.

You could also grow in your love for mankind and your spirituality. You will offer your service to others and will receive the same in return. This will be a very happy year.

It will be difficult at this time for you to accept the real truth about your life and that of others.

Solar Return 7th cusp Conjunct natal Pluto:

Venus in 8th house of Solar Return:

This will be a good year to acquire money or goods through your love partner, business associates, family members, or institutions, such as banks or loan offices, with very little effort on your part.

You will experience changes in your personal life. It will not necessarily be a year of harmony and peace. You will find it necessary to examine any relationships you are involved in to evaluate them and determine how to make improvements, if necessary. You will learn a lot about relating to others and any relationship you now have will not be exactly the same as it was by the end of this year. If you begin a new relationship under this astrological influence, it could very well bring about some sort of transformation in you. Many of the changes will be on the unconscious level. You might also notice an increase of sexual desire within you.

The realities and responsibilities of your everyday existence will have an adverse effect on your attempt to find spiritual peace.

Long-distance travel plans could be delayed or cancelled due to your heavy responsibilities this year.

Jupiter in 9th house of Solar Return:

During this year, travel to foreign countries will be very good. If you have been thinking about doing some kind of traveling, this would be a good year for it. Your interest in learning about distant lands and cultures will increase.

The desire to increase your knowledge will lead you to study and to connect with other people from whom you can gain the information you are looking for. Your consciousness will expand and you will also be curious about exploring such fields as philosophy and religion.

This year will also be very good for activities related to politics and the law.

Solar Return Jupiter Conjunct natal Saturn:

It will be difficult for you to relax and enjoy yourself with others this year. Your serious attitude toward responsibility and duty could throw a wet blanket on the activity of others. Therefore, you will probably prefer to remain in isolation for periods of time. You will have the support of positive-thinking friends who will encourage you in your moments of depression or sadness, although you will undoubtedly have difficulty responding to their attempt to cheer you up.

You will also find that involvement in group activities will not satisfy you as much as they did in the past and may decide to drop out.

There will be delays and obstacles standing in the way of your realizing some of your desires, hopes, and objectives for this year. But don’t be discouraged because if you have done things correctly and thoroughly, you will see the rewards of your efforts toward the end of this solar year. Just have patience and confidence in your future.

Pluto in 11th house of Solar Return:

Your social life will be transformed this year. You probably won’t associate with the same friends you have always had and will make new friendships. The people you meet during this period will have a strong influence on your future and will turn your thinking in a different direction, and, consequently, bring changes into your life.

You also might participate in some group activity that will have a therapeutic effect on you. These meetings could help you to confront facets of your own character you hadn’t recognized before. Under this influence, you could also get involved with associations or groups that are working on social reform.

Your goals, hopes, and wishes for the future will be different, and you will find yourself losing interest in certain relationships. It is advisable to maintain flexibility and patience during this time as there could be very unexpected and sudden changes in your social life.

You should be very cautious during this year because you could be attacked by someone who disagrees with what you believe in. It also could lead to dangerous situations or surprise attacks of some kind. There could also be the possibility of accidents or confinement.

You probably won’t be able to channel your energies very easily and could be frustrated in your attempts. Your attempts to take action will be repressed or will manifest in an inappropriate manner. In general, you won’t make a good impression on others and can even evoke their enmity. You will be acting primarily from a subconscious level and could therefore react too impulsively or destructively.

Social or charitable work could be a positive way of expressing this energy providing you are interested in doing it.
