Most people normally believe that astrology is only focused on the horoscope chart at the moment of your birth. There are numerous different systems that professional and amateur astrologers use. One of these systems is known as the "Solar Return."
A Solar Return is a "Birthday Horoscope" that is updated each year. A Solar Return chart is calculated using the exact degree and minute of the Sun at the time you were born - converted into time of the year when the Sun would have returned to its original position - both by degree and minute, for a new year. Some think of this as a "Solar re-birthing". A Solar Return can give you helpful guidance for the coming year, as it can highlight areas of happiness and concern, to give you a "heads-up" about the overall tone for the coming year. Your Solar Return chart for the year is like a Cosmic Blueprint of the coming year.
If you are living in a different city than you were born in, we strongly recommend using the location of your residence at the time of your upcoming birthday. This is because there could be important shifts of planetary energy since the planets may change astrological house position. Using the Solar Return information, some people actually travel for their birthdays - to the beneficial locations, in order to experience the most beneficial energies for the year. While this is a method to start the year, it is not really a way to avoid issues - because the same energies at the current residence are still waiting when you return home. Basically, the difference with interpreting the Natal (birth) chart vs. the Solar Return is that
1 - A Natal (birth) horoscope chart - interpretation covers a lifetime.
2 - A Solar Return horoscope chart, pinpoints themes that would
unfold within a specific year.
An important consideration for your Solar Return is whether there are many planets on the angles. When a planet is on the angle, it is at, or very close to the cusps of your first, fourth, seventh and tenth houses. If your Solar Return chart has one or more angular planets, anticipate experiences that are similar to the planet(s) energy.
If most of the planets are in the upper part of the chart - then it suggests outward motivations and striving to grow via interchange with others. This also suggests a more extroverted nature.
However, if most of the planets are on the lower part, or below the horizon - then it would be a period of personal concerns - more of an introverted tendency.
If most of the planets are on the left side of the chart - then you would have a greater capacity to take control, to lead and to make changes.
However, if most of the planets are situated on the right side of the chart - then other people and other people's interests would be important considerations in your activities and decisions. The "rising sign" for your Solar Return should also be carefully considered since your personality may display characteristics of your new "Rising Sign".
When looking at your Solar Return, the Sun plays an important part, because it provides a lot of information about your coming Solar Return year. The Sun represents your will to achieve, your creative ability, your sense of independence, your potential power of leadership and your potential for advancement, to name a few. Because the Sun illuminates, it highlights and vitalizes any planet that is located close to its rays. In a generalized sense, the house position of the Sun may be used to pinpoint your potentially busiest period of the year. If your Solar Return Sun is in an angular house, that is where you would tend to experience the greatest energy in the beginning of that Solar Return year.
