We can also observe the hemisphere of the natal versus the solar return chart. A natal trine can become energised when it’s reappear as square in the SR. An opposition in the natal chart suggests internal conflict between two planets, more than one point of view, if these two planets show up as conjunction in the SR, they are on the same side working together. If the Sun is now trine Saturn in the solar return, the task feels easier during the particular year. you can fruitfully draw on and develop the skills of natal Sun-Saturn. If you have Sun-Saturn square in your natal chart, and then also a Sun-Saturn square in the solar return, it bring actions. We can also look what are the connection between two natal planets in the natal chart, are they in a hard aspect (conjunct, opposition, square) in the natal chart or are they in a soft aspect in the solar return? A trine or sextile might suggests the easy flow of energy between the two where you will consciously work towards your goal or development for the year. If its fixed element, it might suggests through continue maintain the projects in progress. If there is anything that are similar to our natal chart, for example, Mars in the same element as the natal chart, it reminds us of how we can be assertive to achieve our goals through the same element for example, a cardinal Mars, through initiate a project in the new solar return year or being more proactive in taking action to make the “dream come true”. Aspects in the natal chart vs the solar return Let’s have a look of the planets in both natal and solar return chart. For an unaspected Sun in the natal chart and the Solar Return chart that are connecting with the planets in the chart can shows the direction what we need to develop during the year, and which planet(s) is supporting us, the house that the Sun rules in the natal chart, and the Sun in the Solar return chart also tells us how we could plan ahead or develop our self-awareness if you will. For example, if an individual has a Sagittarius rising in the Solar Return, it presents opportunity and challenge for him/her to look to a broader outlook in life than usual versus his/her natal Virgo rising which is practical and more details orientated. We can look at how does our natal chart suggest us to respond to the circumstance and ‘calling’ of the year shown by the Solar Return Chart, are they easy? Are they challenges?Īnything that is ‘new’ to the natal chart will put us into a new ‘space’. The Solar Return chart only base on our ongoing life. When we read the solar return chart, it’s base on everything that we understand of our natal chart. In the previous articles, we have briefly touch on that the Solar Return Chart can be read by its own, but if we place it around the birth chart, it can shed more lights, especially for the main cross aspects (within 2º orb) and connections.

Each year, the Sun will be embedded in a new pattern. In another word, the Chart shows the “theme” of the coming year - our relationship through the year to people, places, activities, areas of life.

It is useful to look at the Solar Return Chart each year, a Solar Return chart shows how we might best act in order to develop our solar light during that year around the solar principle – our mission, purpose, creative gifts, character, authority, confidence, spirit, and essence.
