***** INTRODUCTION *****

     The Solar Return is a chart calculated for the time that the Sun arrives at the exact position of the Sun in your natal chart. That happens once every year around your birthday, but at a different time each year. This chart is calculated for the time of the Sun's return this year and marks the principal events for the year from birthday to birthday. This report also gives the location of your Solar Return. From this, it can be determined that some places are more favorable than others. With the aid of more than one report you could analyze the changes that are produced in the Solar Return Reports, choosing from different locations where you would want to spend the day.

     This report essentially is divided into two parts. The first part analyzes the general external conditions of the year: opportunities and problems that could occur in different areas. For the benefit of students of astrology, the influence of the Ascendant and Midheaven of the return are described as well as that of the Sun and Moon.

     The second part analyzes the twelve astrological houses, marking specifically in what area of your life the various astral influences will be manifested, emphasizing your probable responses and inner changes. This section analyzes the position of the solar houses on the natal houses, the planetary conjunctions, and the location of the planets in the houses. You will be given a description of the most important matters derived from the placement of the planets in the houses, which are outlined in the text for each of them.

     In some cases you will find contradictions. A planet may be beneficial in a certain area, while others may indicate the opposite situation. This means that you could have two types of possible situations during the year. For example: a lover's quarrel and a following reconciliation. To get the most out of this report, it will be necessary to use your own logic and intuition, fitting the descriptions outlined here to your own particular case.

     The objective of this report is to offer you a practical guide that helps you to analyze this year's prospects and to learn from them using your free will.

***** FIRST PART *****

Chapter 1:
General characteristics of the year. The external conditions.

Solar Return Ascendant Pisces :

     Your imagination and creativity will be intensified this year, and your outlook on life will be less realistic than usual. You will be more sensitive and inclined to have your feelings hurt over things that would normally not bother you. During this period you could be more intuitive and perceptive. You may have unusual, visually powerful dreams, or precognitive dreams.  You may become strongly attracted to the psychic world or to the paranormal. You may be drawn to study these subjects and to discover more about your inner self.

     There is a strong tendency to get caught up in your own world of ideas but have difficulty expressing them to others. You will  be so involved in your dreams and visions that you will have a hard time operating in the outer world and taking necessary action. You  will find yourself less practical and logical than usual this year. However, your impressions of people and situations will be unusually accurate and perceptive. Listen to your inner voice. Trust it to guide you, in spite of your apparent lack of common sense. You can count on that "angel on your shoulder" to get you through this year.

     Because you are more inclined to want to be helpful and have concern for the problems of others, you will tend to neglect your own needs. You could neglect your projects and responsibilities for the welfare of others, which you may regret later on. Remember that you aren't seeing as realistically or clearly as you usually do at this time. Don't let that upset you. On the other hand, while you are protecting and caring for the defenseless and needy, you could very easily become a victim yourself. You might find yourself looking for pity or inordinate approval from others for the work you are doing, which would not be in your best interest. If by nature you are a more rational, practical person, you may enjoy these new attitudes and abilities for this time. You may make some wonderful discoveries about yourself or reality which you can draw on a later time. However,  if you are inclined to be more dreamy and sensitive naturally, this influence could cause you to become too impractical or vulnerable. In either case, it is recommended that you use special caution in making commitments, signing contracts, making investments or loans, or taking any action which binds you or obligates you in a romantic situation. Don't mix your emotions with your work or your money.

     This year you might have to deal with karma that you have not taken care of before. This may be the time to work with it so that you can let it go. This is not the best time to make great financial or  professional advances.

     Physically, your most sensitive spot will be your feet. You might be subject to sprains, pains, or infections. Use good walking shoes and walk barefoot every chance you get. This year also could bring some ailments that are difficult to diagnose. That is because their cause is psychosomatic. You may have unusual or strong reactions to medications so don't hesitate to consult your physician if you sense that a treatment is not working properly for you. The desire to escape from reality may lead you to drugs or alcohol.  If you already have an addiction problem, you will need to work with it very seriously this year. It is very important to control the use of any addictive substances during this time.

     Since you will be having more than usual difficulty dealing with the real world, it would be advantageous for you to be in contact with  people who are more practical and organized.  You can hope that a Virgo walks into your life at this time for you could benefit from his or her clear-headed thinking. If you are in a committed relationship, your partner could be your connection to the real world. If you are not involved with anyone at this time, you should remind yourself that you might not be seeing that new person with true clarity.  You will be inclined to idealize anyone you meet.  It would be wise to postpone any new commitments until the year is ended.

Solar Return MC Sagittarius:

     During this year you want to reach for the stars! . Your optimism and your faith will be the principal ingredients for your advancement and the realization of your goals. This influence brings you a dose of general luck with your projects. You have a cosmic protection that will be with you all year. You will more convincing and persuasive than you have ever been. This could be beneficial to you in politics, business or any other related field.

     If your usual work is related to travel, tourism, diplomacy, international business, teaching, photography or the theater, it will be a successful year. You might also find yourself renewing an interest in one of these areas that you have had in the past. You might even be involved in more than one occupation during this year. Don't allow yourself to get too busy or involved, thereby spreading yourself too thin.  It's important to concentrate on your major goals for the year. Otherwise, you will not use your energy wisely.

     You could travel and visit other countries during this period, if other indications in this report confirm it. If not, you could use this time to expand your mental or spiritual horizons. You may not have to travel to have new experiences as you could attract into your present physical arena new people who share new ideas and stories of other lands with you.  Or you might decide to study a foreign language.

     You won't spend much time at home during this period, and could find a "second" home some place where you feel comfortable. You will be very restless and will have a desire to interact with others. This could take place outside of your home, or you may receive a lot of visitors in your home. There might also be more contact and relating to brothers and sisters and other close relatives. Communication is the major key to resolving any disputes that could arise. If you were thinking of moving, you may think about it even more now, and finally make up your mind to do it.



Chapter 2: Astrological influence of your personality.

Sun in 1st house:

     Your self-respect, pride and vitality will increase during this year. One of your fundamental goals will be to define your place in the world, and for that you will work with more energy, enthusiasm and authority. If by nature you are a timid person, you will surprise others with your power of decision and your initiative. If you are already a confident, positive person, you will express yourself naturally this year and you will find favorable solutions to your problems.

     One of the most important characteristics of this influence is the increase of your will. It gives you the energy to work long and hard in order to achieve your goals. On the negative side, you could become domineering, arrogant, excessively proud and vain. It would be  advisable to moderate these attitudes because you could alienate others who would then try to prevent you from accomplishing the things that are important to you. Listen to what your own INNER VOICE tells you when you are in doubt. You will then be true to yourself and will follow the most desirable path for you.

     Your vitality will also be very strong. Should a health problem arise, it will be of short duration. If you are already  suffering from some illness, the healing process should be fast and effective. It would be advisable to get out into the sunshine whenever possible to replenish your energy.

     This influence increases your intuitive judgment and trust in yourself that you can accomplish whatever you set out to do. Set your doubts aside and follow your true desire. Success is in your corner.

Sun conjunction Venus:

     You will be very sensitive and sociable during this period. Your circle of friends will increase, and you will be much more concerned with enjoying pleasant activities in your daily life. You also will be more concerned with making personal improvements, especially in your looks. You may find yourself getting more interested than normal in acquiring luxuries and bringing comfort into your life, so be careful about overspending. It also increases your personal magnetism, causing others to take special interest in you. You will have opportunities for romantic relationships. One person (or several!) may court you intensely. You will receive innumerable invitations, and the choice of accepting will be yours. This will not be a year of solitude. If you already have someone in your life, your relationship will be harmonious and you will share many pleasant moments. This will be a pleasant year and you will have a good time in spite of any problems that you may have. You will be more agreeable, happy, and creative. If you have artistic inclinations, you will produce a lot during this year. Your need to express yourself will be very strong. This influence will manifest with intensity in the area influenced by the Sun during this year (outlined in the previous paragraph).

Sun square Saturn:

     During this year you could experience obstacles that will be difficult to overcome. The duties and responsibilities of your daily life will seem to choke you. On the other hand, you won't be so willing to gratify your every wish. You will be inclined to take things too seriously and to limit yourself unduly. Try to keep your good humor in spite of the problems you may have and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.

     You will find that other people will interfere in your life and those in authority over you will be difficult. The relationship with your father, or with some paternal figure in your life, could be very disturbing during this time. You could feel isolated and alone, generating inner feelings of bitterness and frustration. The opposition of others won't be easy to deal with and will require much patience and perseverance on your part.

     During this period your physical energy will diminish and you will discover your own weaknesses and faults. It is important to become aware of them and work on overcoming them. Don't expect immediate results from your efforts because under this influence success in any enterprise is delayed, sometimes for a long period of time. Feelings of frustration could discourage you and lead you to abandon your objectives. Your consistency and perseverance is being tested.

Sun trine Pluto:

     During this time you will feel the desire to investigate and study the mysteries of life in depth. You will be interested in the occult and also will bring to the surface memories or impressions of your past that affect your present conduct. It is a year of positive transformation and of freedom. All changes that begin now will enable you to live with more freedom in the future. If you were contemplating some type of therapy, it would be a good time to start and would be very beneficial. You will be attracted to any type of activity that tests your ability and level of energy. You will need to reaffirm and rely on your own strength, and during this year you will be willing to move ahead.

     You will express yourself with authority and strength in your relationships with others, causing a strong impact and making a very good impression. Due to the strength of your great inner convictions, you will more easily persuade others to adopt your ideas. Your authority will be notable and you could become a leader in the group that you are affiliated with.

     This astrological influence brings concrete action and will solve many aspects of your life. Once you have made a decision, you will be devoted to working toward your goal. You will experience a transformation and renewal of your life in general.
Sun trine MC:

     You will have a year of great progress and professional success. Your trust, enthusiasm, and the ability to channel your energies correctly will bring transformation and general improvement. There could be an increase in your income, and you also could resume an prior interest in some promising business opportunity. Your future goals will be very clear to you, and you will work efficiently to attain them. You will feel the satisfaction and pride of having done things well.

     You won't find it necessary to rely on anybody. You could become centered, sure of yourself, and enthusiastic, thereby capturing  the attention of others and making you their leader. You will know how to earn the respect of others. During all this time you will be a very responsible worker and at the same time will maintain a healthy social life without neglecting your own purposes.

     Your creative capacity will increase as well as your ability to coordinate your efforts with that of others. Regardless of how much opposition you may receive, the final success will be yours. You will know how to choose people around you who are able to give you support. In your personal arena, your relationship with your father, or with someone who represents a father figure for you, will be a point of important support for the achievement of your goals.

Sun semisquare Moon:

     Minor problems and conflicts in your home could alter the peace during this year. There is a possibility that problems from the past that haven't been resolved yet will resurface. You can't expect much support from your family in carrying out your plans.

     It also is possible that you will have moments of doubt and indecision. You will be less decisive and practical, and you will tend to be more influenced by your feelings and emotions.

Sun semisquare Uranus:

     You will be very nervous and impatient during this year. You will get tired of your daily routine which could cause you to make quick and erroneous decisions. It is important that you moderate your impulses and act intelligently. You will require more freedom of action and you may become short and abrupt with people who interfere. You should try to direct your energies consciously, because reacting explosively will only complicate matters.

     You also could be prone to accidents involving speed or electricity. Drive carefully. It will be very difficult to remain calm and tranquil during this year.



Chapter 3: The emotional world.

Solar Return Moon in Gemini :

     Your emotions will be related to the intellect and will be expressed verbally during this year. You will be able to express yourself easily and will be fluent and very effective in transmitting your ideas. Due to your easy communication with others, your popularity and social circle will probably grow. Communication with your family, especially with your mother or other women, will also be very good.

     On the emotional side, you will tend to think about your feelings and doubt your own emotional needs. Don't let this attitude dominate you.  Concentrate on expressing your emotions as freely and spontaneously as possible. If by nature you are quite demonstrative, this influence will help you to balance and express your emotions appropriately. But if you are not very demonstrative, under this influence you may become even more mental and detached.

     Your imagination will be very active and you will have spurts of inspiration that will induce you to write or to speak about your inner world. If you have literary inclinations, it will be a year of much production. This influence also is very favorable for occupations related to journalism, commerce, communications, publications, travel and work related to the public. Your curiosity will also increase and lead you to study about and/or to connect with people different from yourself. You will probably be interested in doing more studying and reading than usual during this year.

     On the negative side, this influence could cause you to be more indecisive and less able to concentrate.  You will have a stronger tendency to scatter your energies. You will have problems keeping yourself moving toward one specific goal. If you have more than one goal, you will have to establish your priorities.

Solar Return Moon in 3rd house:

     Your mind will be very active and you will rely a lot on your imagination, which will sometimes prevent you from concentrating on the every-day, practical things of life. You will be drawn to intellectual and literary activities, as well as all types of every-day communication, but you will need to make an effort to achieve the necessary concentration.

     You will probably take many short trips because this will be a year of much movement. You won't want to adjust to any routine.

     The relationship with your relatives, especially with your brothers and sisters, will be very important. You probably will resume contact with them and work on some joint task, although this could also mean the possibility of arguments and family rivalries. Or you could receive criticism and gossip from those in your inner circle.

Moon square Uranus:

     You will be more edgy and irritable than usual. You will be attracted to unusual ideas and activities.  You will be easily bored with your normal routine. You will look for ways to alter your environment and your every-day activities. It's important that you recognize this and take care not to change those things that are still  important and necessary in your life.

     Your emotions will be very unpredictable during this year.  You will find yourself feeling emotions that you don't understand and may not know how to deal with.  If you are in a committed relationship, this could be a problem as your partner won't know what to expect from you. If you are involved in a relationship in which there is little excitement or passion, you will feel stifled or blocked. And this could result in your wanting a separation. It would be difficult to begin and maintain a new relationship because you won't be easy to please during this time. On the other hand, this aspect could bring sudden, unexpected, and unusual relationships.

     There could also be problems arising in your home environment. It would be better for you to live alone during this time, if that is possible, because you won't be particularly willing to see the other person's point of view or to make any kind of compromise. You also can expect changes in your social circle. In general, relationships will be difficult, especially with women you live with or are associated with.

     You should watch your nervous system as well as your digestion. It is important to maintain a light diet that helps the process of digestion during this time, avoiding red meat and fatty or fried foods. Getting regular physical exercise would help to discharge your tensions.

Moon square Asc:

     Your changes of mood will be very frequent and quick during this time, which may confuse others around you. At times you will adapt easily to the requirements of your surroundings. However, more often than not, the least little thing will distract you from the business at hand. This will hinder you at work, at home, and in your participation in any group activities. You will be more sensitive and more easily upset which will cause you to get irritated with others.

    You won't be very logical or clear in the decisions you make because you will be reacting emotionally. Your judgment will be based on your mood at the moment and not carefully thought out which could cause problems later and lead you to question your own motivation. If you are planning to make an important change in your life at this time, be certain to reflect on it and to consider all sides before  making a final decision.

Moon sextile Mercury:

     Your emotions and your rational mind will be in balance.  Your thinking will be influenced by your emotions, but at the same time, you will have the ability to make logical conclusions. Your mind will be very keen and alert. Therefore, any type of study or   language learning would be very favorable. You will also be able to  listen to the problems of others with sensitivity and understanding and be willing to offer them very valuable help.

     If you have any interest in writing professionally, you will find this to be a good year for it. Or, if you are not a writer, you will at least be able to keep your personal and business correspondence up to date. Communication in general will be favored and you will be able to speak your mind easily.

    This influence increases your romantic inclinations and would be a good time to tell your partner and other loved ones in your home how much you care for them.

     This astrological aspect is extremely favorable for business relationships. You could sign very lucrative contracts or gain benefit from some type of investment or new business. It also could indicate frequent travel.

     On the other hand, you could become interested in exploring your roots, searching for information about your family tree or stories about your family history. Communication with your mother or with women in general will be very positive.

Moon semisquare Saturn:

     You could become more emotionally cold, distant, and detached during this time. You will have times when you feel unloved or not accepted by others and, as a consequence, you will tend to isolate yourself. Take care not to have negative or pessimistic thoughts and feelings of frustration.

     You should confront the emotional issues that may resurface from your past. Your present dissatisfactions are due to these emotional injuries that have not been resolved. It is important to maintain your objectivity and not to develop feelings of guilt. You will have to deal with a karmic debt now so it would be very beneficial to maintain a positive attitude.

     Home conditions won't be very favorable as you will receive opposition or indifference to your plans. Any type of change or making a move under this planetary aspect would not be advisable.



***** SECOND PART *****

     There is a possibility of receiving some type of inheritance or legacy or some type of financial aid from your spouse, partner, or  business associates.

Mercury in 1st house of Solar Return:

     During this year your intellectual and literary production will be very important. You will excel in accomplishing mental tasks, due to your keenness of mind and your ability to understand things. It will be a good year for any kind of study and for activities that demand mental concentration. If you are involved in writing, you will have a very fruitful year. If you aren't a professional writer, this astrological position will help you to put your correspondence in order and improve your communication with others. Your mind will be very alert and you will make necessary changes very quickly. It's important to determine the subjects that you are really interested in exploring and not waste your time on superficial things. It will also be important for you to learn to relax your mind in order to avoid stress.

     This influence also favors business activities. Any business you are involved in will prosper and you will have new ideas and projects for the future. You will want to be your own person this year, and will be inclined to be more egocentric than at other times. You probably will take some short trips and will be constantly on the go.

Uranus in 1st house of Solar Return:

     You will need more freedom and independence during this year. You may be acting differently and strangely, which will surprise and confuse the people who know you. You will be more tense and keyed up and will resent too much routine or obligation or any limitation to your freedom. Don't expect to receive too much understanding from others because they will not know how to respond to the new you.

     You should be more careful than usual because this influence will make you more unpredictable and risk taking, thereby becoming more prone to accidents or speaking out too bluntly. You won't be as interested in or willing to listen to the opinions of others. You will feel the need to make changes in your life, becoming more open and willing to reach out more. You will be attracted to everything new, strange, or unknown, and to risky situations.

     Your health could be affected due to the great degree of stress that you may suffer during this year. You must try to get enough rest and practice some relaxation exercises.

Solar Return Uranus Conjunct natal Saturn:

     You could be very resistant or indifferent toward the suggestions made by the free-thinking, creative people that you meet regarding making certain changes in your life. The more structured, pragmatic side of you will clash with the part of you who desires change and you find that you can't take any action at all.




     HOUSE 2:  Financial situation.

Solar Return 2nd house on 9th natal house:

     You could gain financially from some activity in a foreign country or by getting involved in some sort of import-export business.

And if you are in a committed relationship or meet someone and fall in love this year, you will have the desire to share everything with your chosen one.

Venus in 2nd house of Solar Return:

     During this year, your finances will improve. If your work is related to art, aesthetics or creative expression, you will have much monetary gain. Since you will have more money to spend, you will be inclined to make investments and purchases that will improve your quality of life. It would be wise to keep your spending under control because there is also a tendency to be wasteful or to indulge in unnecessary luxuries. You could spend money on jewelry, art work, very expensive clothes, and other items that beautify your life or your home. This astrological influence can cause you to become less practical and to be more extravagant than usual.

     You will be very good in negotiations and transactions of any type because of your ability to manage people with diplomacy and softness. This would be a good year to apply for and receive a loan if you need one.

Saturn in 5th house of Solar Return:

     Your concerns and responsibilities during this year will tend to overshadow your romantic life. You may become more detached and uninterested in pursuing your normal social life. This influence could affect any serious, committed relationship you are involved in. It could become too routine and unsatisfying. If you are not involved with anyone at this time, you will find it difficult to meet anyone, especially for a serious relationship. It is important that you not repress your emotions, and that you express your feelings as naturally as possible. It will be difficult to find satisfaction in any personal involvement at this time because responsibilities will be your priority.

     Speculative business investments will not be favored at this time. You should be very careful where you invest your money and what type of people you associate with. You will also not be lucky in games of chance.

    Whatever you accomplish during this year will be due to your continuous creative effort and self discipline.

     Your health could suffer from depression or hard-to-diagnose illnesses stemming from emotional distress. For mild problems such as fatigue, indigestion, or headaches, avoid, if at all possible, taking drugs or medication because they could harm your body.
