What Is a Solar Return Chart?
A Solar Return chart is cast for the exact moment each year when the Sun returns to the same zodiacal degree it occupied at your birth. This usually occurs within 1-2 days of your birthday, since the Sun moves about 1° per day and we need minute-level precision.
The chart for that moment represents your major themes for the coming year — which life areas will be in focus? What's the emotional direction? What important energies should you be aware of?
How to Read a Solar Return Chart
Ascendant
Represents this year's overall energy tone and the impression you give. What persona will you present to the world this year?
Sun's House
This year's most important life stage. Whichever house the Sun is in becomes the core theme of the year.
Moon's House
This year's emotional focus and inner needs. The house where the Moon resides is where you most need security this year.
Angular Planets
Planets in houses 1/4/7/10 have the strongest energy and most obvious influence — themes requiring special attention this year.
