YOUR ADVANCED SOLAR RETURN ANNUAL REPORT  - See what events and issues await you in the year ahead. 

Once each year, the Sun returns to the exact position that it held at the time of your birth. This report outlines the astrological influences on the year ahead for the positions of the planets at the precise time of your annual solar return.

The report delineates the influence of the Ascendant, Midheaven, Sun, Moon, and each of the nine planets as they interact with each other and with the Houses of the horoscope. Because there is such a wealth of information, you may find it helpful to orient yourself by first reading the following three sections in their entirety (including their subsections):

If you are not familiar with astrology, it will help to know a little about the astrological Houses as you read this report. You probably know that there are 12 signs of the zodiac. In a similar way, astrologers divide the horoscope wheel into 12 "Houses," which look like a pie cut into 12 pieces. Each House represents a particular area of life. The 1st House starts at the Ascendant, which is the point where the zodiac circle in the heavens crosses the horizon in the east. By convention the Ascendant lies at the "9 o'clock" point on the circle. The remaining Houses follow the 1st House in a counterclockwise direction around the wheel so that the 10th House, which symbolizes your career and standing in the world, lies at the very top of the chart. The entry point into each House is called its cusp. Below is a list of the twelve Houses and some of their key meanings for reference as you read this report.

Into every life a little rain must fall. Do not be alarmed if negative predictions show up in various sections of this report. Stressful events often hover as potentials in the background but never materialize. The repetition of a trend in several parts of the horoscope chart is the key to accurate prediction in astrology. In general, adverse events occur only when many aspects or configurations repeatedly point toward their manifestation. If a stressful event is mentioned but once or twice, it is unlikely to manifest. In any case, forewarned is forearmed.

The Sun, ruler of Leo, is the most important "planet" in the Return. The primal energy of the Sun makes possible our life on earth. The Sun enlivens, asserts, illuminates, vitalizes, promotes, fathers, energizes, individualizes, elevates, and makes conscious. Astrological aspects involving the Sun show how we achieve (or fail to achieve) honor, status, recognition, achievement, and individuation - how we shine, create, and make our mark on the world. People signified by the Sun include fathers, husbands, mature men, bosses, authority figures, and people of influence. In health matters, the Sun symbolizes the heart and the spine.

The Return placement and aspects of the Sun may involve us either personally through health matters and life circumstances governed by the Sun, or indirectly through people symbolized by the Sun. We will next look at the zodiacal sign and House positions of the Sun in the Solar Return chart.

The Return Sun occupies the exact location in the same sign as the Sun in your birth chart. Having the Sun in regal Leo generally makes you proud, generous, warm, confident, feisty, ambitious, organized, creative, elegant, self-expressive, fun loving, dramatic, and childlike. Your faults may include being too opinionated, self-important, patronizing, arrogant, or overly dramatic.

Having considered the sign containing the Sun, we now turn to the Sun's Return House position, which highlights the central themes of the year ahead.

The Sun occupies your Return 6th House and places the focus on service, health, illness, pets, co-workers, subordinates, and your daily work. This is a good year to get a medical checkup and to pursue a regimen of diet and exercise to keep healthy and fit. You may be very busy at work due to additional responsibilities on the job. During this placement, some push in new directions on the job or pursue an entirely new line of work that provides greater satisfaction. Relationships with co-workers can be especially rewarding. A pet may light up your life at this time.

If the Sun forms stressful aspects, you may be subject to overstrain, worry, stress, mental fatigue, accidents, or physical illness. All work and no play can take a toll on your close relationships and family life.

The Sun conjunct Venus emphasizes love, friendship, relationships, and social life during the coming year. You may fall in love, meet a future partner, or marry under this influence. Venus, the Lesser Benefic, brings you pleasure, fun, romance, enjoyment, honors, financial gain, and the good things in life. Your charm, tact, and attractiveness may put you in the spotlight. Any artistic or musical talent you have can make you shine. If this energy is used unwisely, there is a risk of extravagance, wastefulness, vanity, and overindulgence.

Activities related to the Houses of the Return chart with Taurus and Libra on their cusps will be especially highlighted during the year.

The Sun conjunct return Mercury indicates a busy year with lots of short trips, phone calls, messages, visits, errands, and moving about. There is a strong emphasis on communication, writing, speaking, learning, teaching, commerce, sales, transport, local travel, detailed planning, and contacts in the community. Often, in such a year, you receive news that opens doors and that has a profound impact on your life. Mercury represents young people who may play a significant role in your life at this time. This is a good year to take lessons or to learn a new skill. You are able to get your ideas across and communicate productively with others.

Matters related to the Return House position of Mercury and those Houses with Gemini or Virgo on their cusps will be especially highlighted during the year.

The Sun trine Pluto enhances your self-confidence. This year you have the power to achieve what you desire. You could assume a position of power or leadership. Events transpire that advance your goals and bring about personal transformation. Other people recognize your potential and reward your efforts. You may develop a deeper understanding of Pluto-ruled concerns such as power, domination, research, sexuality, healing, elimination, birth, death, dying, psychic phenomena, or the afterlife. Surgical or medical treatments undertaken in such a year tend to proceed smoothly. Pluto is a very slow-moving planet and this influence may be felt for several years.

Saturn limits, restricts, and disciplines the vitality of the Sun. This is a year when you may feel drained, isolated, sad, frustrated, and alone. You could lose sleep because of feeling burdened and overwhelmed by your many obligations. New responsibilities enter your life. Even pleasant happenings, such as increased income, may carry with them the burden of deciding how to wisely invest. From time to time, take a break to restore your health or recoup your energy.

Not infrequently Sun/Saturn aspects manifest as depression or physical illness. This could be due to some type of blockage, calcification, crystallization, obstruction, or to a chronic health condition. Be sure to seek professional attention if you are feeling under the weather. This aspect often correlates with the ending of an important phase of your life. It can signify a period of major stress and tension, such as overwork, personal illness, or unemployment. You may also need to deal with the illness or passing of a parental figure or of a significant man in your life.

Activities related to the Houses of the Return chart with Capricorn and Aquarius on their cusps will be especially highlighted during the year.

The Sun in harmonious aspect to the Moon is a propitious aspect, indicating a year when thinking and feeling blend harmoniously together. Your self-confidence increases and others enjoy your company. Your positive attitude brings success in partnerships and close relationships. Some decide to marry in such a year. Matters related to home, family, parents, or your role as a parent progress smoothly. You reach a deeper understanding of your own upbringing and its effect on your emotional development.

This can be a year of artistic, musical, poetic, or religious inspiration. Neptune heightens your intuitive and imaginative creativity. Glamour, glitz, and illusion may become appealing. Spiritual experiences could involve you in an increased awareness of hidden dimensions of reality. You may need to reconsider your pursuit of a cherished dream or ideal. Events may occur that dissolve the boundaries of your ego, enhance your appreciation of mortality, and make you more cognizant of the universality of human experience. You may engage in activities that selflessly assist others or promote the common good. You will want to reserve time alone for reflection, prayer, and meditation. Neptune is a slow-moving planet and this influence may be felt for several years.

This stressful Sun/Neptune aspect warns that the self-sacrifice of Neptune could turn into victimization, paranoia, martyrdom, or deliberate self-harm. In rare cases, you, or someone close to you, may entertain thoughts of suicide. You would be wise to shore up your mental health and avoid acting as your own worst enemy. You may confront issues involving escapism, confusion, self-deception, hopelessness, or loss of touch with reality. You could be prone to an unrealistically romantic or secretive relationship, possibly with someone engaged in drug or alcohol abuse, illicit behavior, con games, or the like. Be sure to stay attuned to your own inner psychological states and motivations.

A significant man could pass from your life. Extra responsibilities for children may arise. If other factors suggest health problems, this aspect could signify mysterious or difficult-to-diagnose ailments, either physical or emotional, that affect you or a significant other. On occasion, grief, loss, hospitalization, or confinement may be indicated.

The East-West Axis of the astrological map represents the Celestial Horizon. The Ascendant (in the East) signifies the filter through which you view the world and the manner in which you project your personality toward others. It also reflects your physical body and your personal initiatives. The Descendant (in the West) symbolizes your partnerships, close relationships, and the way you get along with other people.

Planets that form close aspects with the East-West Axis of the Return chart will color your personality style, personal initiatives, and manner of relating. The degree of the zodiac rising in the East (the Ascendant) varies with your location on earth at the time of your Solar Return. If the Return Ascendant receives particularly stressful aspects, some astrologers advise their clients to travel to a location that will minimize or negate those aspects on the day of their Solar Return. In the following section we consider the influence of the horizon (Ascendant-Descendant) axis in the year ahead.

The Pisces Ascendant indicates a year when you value time by yourself for introspection, reflection, and spiritual growth. You tend to be moody, emotional, dreamy, romantic, intuitive, and idealistic just now. Especially favored are research, psychological counseling, metaphysical studies, musical or artistic endeavors, and compassionate activities that render help to others. A significant romance could develop at this time. Persons, conditions, and situations that no longer play a significant role in your life may fade away during this Return period. This is an excellent year to ask your Higher Self for guidance in uncovering and healing the ways you tend to act against your own best interests.

The Ascendant has to do with how you define and present yourself to others. Pisces here suggests a lack of clarity in your sense of identity that will need resolution during the coming year. Problems could arise because of over-sensitivity, unrealistic expectations, starry-eyed optimism, self-pity, or failure to set proper limits and boundaries. Be careful with your use of alcohol, drugs, and medications at this time. Review your relationships to see whether you are assuming the role of victim or martyr. Also consider whether you have been neglecting your need for psychological, emotional, and spiritual growth in recent years. Because the Ascendant signifies your body, check to see whether the Ascendant itself or the Ascendant's rulers Jupiter and Neptune form stressful aspects. If so, you could encounter health problems during the year.

The Houses of your Natal chart with Pisces on the cusp as well as the Houses of your Return chart that contain Jupiter and Neptune, the co-rulers of Pisces, indicate areas of your life that will be in high focus during the coming year. Planets that form close aspects to Jupiter or Neptune in the Return chart indicate the types of people and events involved.

Neptune and Jupiter are respectively the modern and traditional rulers of the sign Pisces. Thus, Neptune and Jupiter are the rulers of the Ascendant in this year's Return chart.

Neptune in the Return 12th House suggests loss, sadness, misunderstanding, deception, confusion, or letting go with regard to those who are ill, confined, or disadvantaged. A longstanding relationship or situation related to such matters may dissolve or fade from your life. This placement sometimes indicates a love affair based on idealization or fantasy, often with victim-savior themes. Neptune in the 12th can indicate hidden health problems and a possible need for hospital care, either for yourself or for someone you care about. An experience of grief often accompanies this configuration. This is a spiritual placement that suggests a need for rest, reflection, prayer, resignation, and meditation. Your compassion and sensitivity are heightened. Be careful, however, about becoming disillusioned and escaping into alcohol, drugs, or other types of injurious behavior.

The Natal House placement of the Return Ascendant shows where you are most likely to take personal action during the coming year. Your dominant interests and activities will center on 10th House issues such as career, authority, parents, social recognition, honors, achievements, and public life. The affairs of a parent may occupy much of your time. A change in marital status can also accompany this placement.

The Return Ascendant-Descendant axis also highlights 4th House issues such as home, family life, domestic concerns, material security, laying foundations, real estate dealings, parents, elders, your upbringing, and your private life. Under this influence, it is not uncommon to change residence or remodel your home. There could be a change in the composition of your household, such as a birth, a child going off to college, or an older person moving into your home. Since the 4th is a House of endings, you may bring an important project to its conclusion. You might also experience a death in the family or some other significant ending.

If a planet lies close to the Return Ascendant (within 5 degrees), you will have a fair amount of personal control over the action. Planets in the 1st House that lie further away from the Return Ascendant (more than 5 degrees) indicate that you will have less control and be more at the mercy of the forces symbolized by those planets.

Mars symbolizes initiative, courage, action, daring, aggression, leadership, drive, physical energy, heat, sexual passion, and the willingness to face challenges. Astrological aspects involving Mars show how we act independently, pioneer ideas, assert ourselves, and deal with competition. People signified by Mars include young men, husbands, leaders, warriors, and important men in our lives; also, those who regularly use force, tools, or weapons in their work. In health matters, Mars symbolizes fevers, cuts, wounds, the head, the muscular system, red blood cells, the gonads, urogenital system, adrenal gland, and the sense of taste.

The Return placement and aspects of Mars may involve us either personally through health matters and life circumstances governed by Mars, or indirectly through people symbolized by Mars. We will next consider the Return zodiacal sign and House placements of Mars.

The planet Mars symbolizes your energy, drive, and personal initiative. The Return sign containing the planet Mars modifies how you are able to assert yourself, confront obstacles, and face challenges in the year ahead. With Return Mars in versatile Gemini, you tend to direct your energy into verbal and mental channels. This placement of Mars can be especially helpful if you are in one of the intellectual professions. Your tongue is quick and your wit is sharp, sometimes provoking disputes and arguments with others. Words said or written in haste can become a cause of conflict. You may also find yourself a bit restless and scattered.

Mars, the action planet, shows where you direct your energy. In the 3rd House, Mars indicates lots of time being spent on the go. Activities such as reading, writing, sending letters or faxes, making short trips, doing errands, being active in the community, and communicating with others are all highlighted. You might feel like you're buried under a mountain of paperwork. Be careful about venting your anger in speech or print, since harsh words are not likely to get others to do your bidding. The Houses of the Return chart with Aries or Scorpio on the cusp will reveal the focus of your communications and busywork. Siblings or neighbors may require extra attention.

You may have to deal with rash speech, arguments, travel accidents, injuries while moving about, or disputes involving siblings or neighbors. Keep your wits about you while traveling and don't give in to road rage.

Mars stressfully aspecting Jupiter warns of rash, impetuous, or impulsive behavior. You are ready and willing to fight for your beliefs, but you should also act with moderation. Remember that haste makes waste and that patience is a virtue. Rushing about with foolish abandon can result in accidents, injuries, health problems, and breakdowns. Difficulties could arise because of your sense of urgency, excitability, hyperactivity, overconfidence, competitiveness, or manic behavior. Taking risks without proper caution or planning should be scrupulously avoided. A word to the wise is sufficient; look before you leap.

Return Mars conjunct the Natal Ascendant increases your assertiveness and initiative. Others look to you for leadership, and you are able to effect change in your environment. Your energy level is high and may need an outlet in some type of physical activity; otherwise it could spill over into impatient or angry outbursts. If Mars forms inharmonious aspects, there is a risk of cuts, fevers, burns, accidents, or injuries with this placement.

This is a wonderful stimulus to your romantic life. Sex is pleasurable and abundant. You can also successfully direct your energy into artistic pursuits. Assertively pursuing your initiatives pays off.

If you decide to quit, you may have a hard time finding a more suitable position. Saturn's lesson has to do with the value of working persistently at a task. On occasion, this position can signify emotional stress, physical illness, gravity accidents, broken bones, or work-related injuries.

The House cusps are power points in the chart, and any planet that aligns closely with a House cusp will be especially prominent in the year ahead. Planet to House cusp alignments often portend specific events whose nature combines the symbolism of the planet and the House involved.

The three sections that follow will look at the contacts, if any, (1) between Return planets and Return House cusps; (2) between Return planets and Natal House cusps; and finally, (3) between Natal planets and Return House cusps.

When comparing the Solar Return and the natal charts, any close alignment between a planet and a House cusp is highly significant. In fact, the conjunctions of planets with House cusps in the superimposed natal and return charts usually pinpoint the major factors that will be operative during the year. Pay close attention to the following three sections because they highlight the specific events that you will need to deal with in the coming Solar Return period.

This section considers the influence of any planet or point in the Solar Return chart that forms a close connection with a House cusp in the Solar Return chart.

Saturn, the Great Teacher, reveals lessons to be learned during the coming year. Conjoining the cusp of the 7th Return House, Saturn suggests a need to take more responsibility in matters related to love, marriage, partnerships, contractual agreements, legal obligations, close relationships, and dealings with the public. This may be a time of trial and testing of your most intimate connections with others. On occasion Saturn teaches a lesson through a possible loss or separation from a person you care about. Some of Saturn's lessons might be painful, but in the end what remains will be worth the effort and you will get what you deserve. Falling desperately in love and getting married are possible with this configuration. As the 7th cusp (Descendant) is where the sun sets, Saturn here can focus our attention on the sunset of our lives.

When near an angle in the Return chart, Saturn prompts you to face the Shadow aspects of your personality -- the disturbing parts of yourself that you fear, repress, and project onto others. Saturn may knock you to your senses by confronting you with a dose of harsh reality. The time has now come to pay the piper. The goal of Saturnian discipline is a better integration of your personality. Saturn's tests may arrive in the form of hardship, oppression, burdens, obligations, illness, surgery, poverty, loss, restriction, disappointment, bereavement, or conflicts with authority. The lessons you learn at this time come from taking a long hard look at what you have been doing with your life.

Mercury prominent in the Return chart places an emphasis on communication, adaptability, education, travel, and commerce. This year will be full of mental activity, talk, letters, phone calls, writing, travel, movement, busy work, short trips, and frequent comings and goings. Much of your activity has to do with marriage, partnerships, contractual agreements, and activities that take you before the public. You tend to be more youthful, agile, quick-witted, and verbally expressive. You may teach, take classes, or receive training under this influence. Pursuing further education can have a beneficial effect on your career. Activities that require physical movement and dexterity are especially appealing. You are also likely to have frequent contacts with siblings, young people, kin, neighbors, and members of your local community. Things that you write or say may affect your popularity with the public.

The Moon on the 8th House cusp brings change and flux to matters related to power, control, sex, death, inheritance, occult interests, taxes, and joint finances. Feelings about death and dying may dominate your emotional life. This can sometimes indicate a need for surgery or another potent medical intervention. The death of a woman or a nurturing figure in your life is possible. Deep insights into your emotional life are likely to emerge at this time.

Whenever the Return Sun conjoins an angular House cusp (1, 4, 7, or 10), events occur that increase your popularity and bolster your self-esteem. The Sun enhances your self-assurance, charisma, vitality, and leadership ability. Others are likely to notice you and to reward your talents and accomplishments. You may receive an honor, an award, or a degree at this time. Your relationship with your father may come into high focus. Some marry, change residence, or have children; but if the Sun is afflicted, concerns about children may arise. Close relationships, business partnerships, and contractual agreements are all favored. Sales, negotiations, counseling, legal advocacy, or any activities that involve one-to-one contact with others tend to prosper. Because the Sun lies opposite your Return Ascendant, which signifies the body, your physical health and stamina may be below par in such a year. A bout of illness could punctuate the year ahead.

Return Pluto conjunct the Natal 8th House cusp highlights 8th House issues such as sex, death, surgery, investigation, and joint finances.

The Return Midheaven falling on the Natal 7th House cusp indicates a significant and memorable year, especially with regard to marital status, partnerships, contractual agreements, and the career of your spouse. This configuration commonly signifies getting married or attending the wedding of an important person in your life. Your career may take you before the public in some way. Opportunities for professional advancement may come through a spouse or business associate. You could find yourself involved in negotiations, consultations, or possibly a lawsuit. In professional matters you should take a balanced view, seek expert advice, and be willing to follow the lead of others. On occasion this placement will indicate a need to relocate because of your job.

Uranus allows you to be creative, innovative, and original in the workplace. Your progressive ideas and novel approach to problem solving are likely to pay off. You may wish to do some freelance work in order to be your own boss. You could also develop an interest in alternative methods of healing.

The Return 2nd House cusp conjunct Natal Moon brings a strong emotional current to financial matters. You are likely to spend money on the basis of feelings rather than reason. You may also be tempted to surround yourself with material goods in order to feel secure. Providing financially for those who depend on you may be a priority this year.

The Natal Ascendant conjunct the Return 4th House cusp accentuates matters related to home, family, domestic life, real estate, tradition, foundations, and final endings. A long-standing situation or concern may reach a final conclusion. You could complete an important project or end a significant chapter in your life at this time. A parent or family member may require extra attention. Some people relocate, redecorate, or renovate their home. You might purchase a major appliance or gadget for the home. This is a good time to plan ahead for retirement and conditions at the end of your days.

The Return 7th House cusp conjoining Natal Pluto brings intensity to partnerships and close personal relationships. Your intimate involvements with others will result in profound personal transformation. A consultant can have a major impact on your life. Interpersonal unions that no longer serve their function are likely to be eliminated from your life. Adversaries and open enemies may engage you in intense battles during the year.

Natal Neptune on the Return eighth House cusp often denotes idyllic sensual experiences. A clandestine romance is possible. You could meet and share sexual pleasures with a dreamlike partner, but you are not likely to be seeing the whole relationship clearly. An interest in occult or secret matters may accompany this placement. Try to remain focused when dealing with finances. This aspect sometimes coincides with financial losses or medical difficulties related to medicines, drugs, or alcohol. Since the 8th is the House of death, it also suggests a significant loss or parting.

The Return 11th cusp conjunct Natal Mars directs your energy into the pursuit of your hopes and wishes for the future. Physical activities with friends or groups of people are favored. You could assume a leadership role in a group to which you belong. Be careful not to let your ego drives cause conflicts with friends and other associates.
