The Sun is definitely the most important planet (star) to
consider in the interpretation of solar returns, for the whole chart is based
upon its principle. It is the only placement which is always identical (by
longitude) in the natal as well as the solar return chart. Its house position
shows where the greatest growth may take place during the year and where one may
express the self creatively. It also denotes the area of greatest recognition as
well as the area where the individual will "identify" the self this year. It is
an indication of success according to house placement -- an area where the
person may "shine" and show honor, a place where the individual may take pride
in his or her accomplishments.
The houses have basically the same principles in the
interpretation of a solar return chart as they do in a natal chart. The only
difference is that the solar return houses are temporal in nature, and thus the
actual interpretation of their meaning will be slightly modified because of this
factor.
The Sun, at the time of your solar return, falls in the 9th
house.
9th house: Great personal growth is now possible in
regard to education, law, dealings with foreign peoples, philosophy, and long
travel. This is a time that favors preparation (with much anticipation and/or
excitement), as in education or training, for something greater that may
actually evolve the next year. All matters tend to go well that deal with
publishing, foreign affairs, or affairs with those who are of a different
nationality than the native. It furthermore favors second marriages (should it
apply) and court decisions. If the Sun is trine to the Ascendant, then you are
likely to feel exuberance, happiness, and a general sense of growth this year.
However, they may very well be fears concerning one's
vocation or life direction in a mundane sense. Keep in mind that this is a year
of training and preparation, and these fears will likely give way to more
concrete developments after this year.
