| | Life's Greatest Adventure!
| | | | | | Hi Friend,
This week we're moving off the subject of the Moon and onto the Sun. (Which is very appropriate for Leo season). This week I thought we'd take a look at your Solar Return, what it is, what it means, and make sure you read to the end to see details of a very special offer for readers…
|
| | Once a year, around the time of your birthday, the Sun returns to the same degree of the Zodiac as it was on the day that you were born. In Astrology we call this your Solar Return.
In fact, it may or may not be exactly on your birthday each year, so for example you may have been born on June 22nd and your actual Solar Return this year could be on June 23rd. So although it's pretty close your Solar Return and your birthday may not always be the same. Although the Sun has returned to the exact same degree, everything else in the Zodiac will be different and so it can never be the same as your birth chart.
Unless you live within a 50 mile radius of where you were born, it is very likely that for most of us, the location will vary too. So you can see that, although the Sun has returned to the same degree as your birth, practically everything else will be different.
So what can a Solar Return tell us? In effect it is like a 'snapshot' that can give you a sense of the coming year. Some people like to use Solar Returns every year to get a sense of the year ahead.
How Does A Solar Return Differ From a 12-month Forecast?
While both charts are looking at the next 12 months ahead, they are gathering information from different sources and both can be valuable.
A 12 month Forecast is looking at the current position of planets and how, over the next 12 months, they will interact with your birth chart by 'transiting' (passing through) the houses of your chart and making significant contact points with your birth planets. You can pick any date throughout the year and draw up a transit chart from there onwards.
Your Solar Return is, in a sense, more personal. It is looking at the birth position of your vital life-force energy (the Sun) which is indicating one of the main expressions of your Soul Path (how you are manifesting your life purpose), and relating that to the current planetary positions.
Solar Returns can be cumulative in the sense that they can be used to gauge your progress (or not) from year to year. It's possible to have a Solar Return report every year, and to see what is changing and how your energy is responding to it. For example you may be able to see where there were obstacles last year, that are now lifting, or if you still feel like you just can't get ahead, you may be able to see why.
So where a 12 month forecast tells you more about the conditions around you, the situations or circumstances, the Solar Return says much more about you and your ability to flow your energy.
Astrologer Mary Fortier Shea has spent over 40 years studying Solar Returns and making them more useful for Western Astrologers by incorporating them into a Tropical Zodiac. (In the past most Solar Returns were based on the sidereal zodiac which is mainly used in India, although some Western Astrologers do use it).
"The important thing to remember about solar returns, and life experiences in general, is that they are part of a cumulative process. Unlike transits which can seem disconnected and singular, solar returns are closely aligned and can easily be viewed as building blocks, one upon the other, year after year. For this reason, each year becomes important and each task has a history and a future. The rhythmic pattern of the solar return helps us to see this." - Mary Fortier Shea
So where a forecast (transit) has a sense of building up to something, then it peaks and is completed, the Solar Return is showing us what is to be built up, and continues to be built upon, over our lifetime, year after year.
It can not only be useful in terms of measuring our physical or material accomplishments, but can also be used to see where we have recurring psychological and emotional patterns that we are working on healing and clearing.
