The Solar Return is a powerful tool in astrology that provides a detailed overview of the astral influences for the coming year. This technique is based on the annual return of the Sun to the same position in the sky it occupied at the time of a person’s birth, creating a new astrological chart known as the “Solar Return Chart.”
The process of creating this chart requires the precise calculation of the day and time when the Sun returns to the exact natal position. This date marks the beginning of a new yearly cycle, and the resulting chart provides a map of the energies and tendencies that will influence the individual in the months ahead. The Solar Return not only reveals the areas of life that will be most activated, but it also offers valuable insights on how to handle challenges and seize opportunities.
The Solar Return Chart is analyzed in detail, taking into account the positions of the Sun, the Moon, the main planets, and key points such as the Ascendant and Midheaven. These elements are interpreted to provide an in-depth understanding of the planetary influences and dynamics that will shape the year. Astrological aspects, such as conjunctions, oppositions, and squares, are examined to understand the potential areas of growth and conflict.
Special attention is given to the positions of the planets in the houses and the aspects they form with each other. This study helps identify general tendencies, personal challenges, and opportunities that may arise.
