(If you’re interested in using this technique, Continuum has a list of certified Astro*Carto*Graphy practitioners and a library of over 50 articles about relocation techniques here: Relocation Astrology Information and Practitioners.) I chalk it up to the power of intention and of manifestation through commitment. Don’t like that Pluto in the 10 th in your solar return? Find a better house placement and go there. In order for that chart to take effect, you need to stay a day and a half before through a day and a half after, so pack for 3 days.ĭoes it work or is it only a placebo effect? Is it just high astrological drama of a most self-indulgent nature? Well, I’ve done it any number of times when there were owies in mission critical houses, and it made a big difference in the outcome. They all work too, if you believe in them and use them as a tool to attune to the person.Į ntire astrology practices are based on telling clients where to travel in order to get the best solar return chart. It’s kind of like the Tarot and all the scads of more modern decks. That’s a radical belief that I’ve just articulated for the first time. The piece of paper called an astrology chart is merely a sort of mandala that gets us there. We’re really just tuning into the planetary energies, and they’re talking to us. What I believe is that whatever the astrologer believes works, works. I think it really doesn’t matter WHICH solar return you use. One reader wrote to ask if I’d ever used the geocentric precessed chart, which I’d never heard of. Purists are always trouble-another bone of contention is about something called a precessed SR vs. Solar Returns aren’t based on your place of birth, but your location, though there are purists who only calculate it for the birthplace. Nothing happens by a solar return, progression, eclipse or other variation that is not promised in the natal chart and confirmed by transits, so don’t get freaked out about your solar return. In my view, transits are a better predictive tool than Solar Returns, so I seldom did them for clients unless they specifically asked. This is especially true of aspects to the Sun, but since Venus and Mercury are always close to the Sun, they’re likely to repeat as well. The Solar Return is a frozen slice of the transits you have around your birthday. In this chart, you are highly likely to see aspects that mirror the themes of transiting planets, especially the slower-moving outer planets that may not move more than 2-3° in a year. OR it may be related to the fact that solar return aspects are related to slower-moving transits. In years of observation, it does seem true, but this may be entirely subjectivity/suggestibility. The older astrologers taught us that you could “feel the vibe” of the solar return coming in way before the birthday. It is said that your solar return starts taking effect 3 months before your birthday. They’re like a highlighter pen that calls our attention to those particular features and the patterns in our lives they represent. I don’t understand the math on that, but I do interpret any repetition of the degrees, houses placements, and features of the natal chart as significant intervals. The year is not really 365 days but 365 ¼.įor many people, the SR Ascendant and house cusps are also on a 4-year cycle in which the Rising sign in the natal chart is regularly repeated. That’s for the same reason we have The Leap Year and Leap Day – February 29 every 4 years. Why your solar return may or may not be on your actual birthday: In a 4-year cycle, the date and time of the solar return chart may occur anywhere from a day before to a day after your calendar birthday. In the hopes of, just this once, being socially and politically correct, I decided to follow suit with this miscellany of little-known acts about our annual birthday charts. That’s what I discovered when I used the handy WordPress internal search engine to see who had written about this tropic. It’s apparently a tradition among astrology bloggers to write a piece about solar returns on their birthday. Today is my 68 th birthday, but yesterday was my solar return.
