All You Need to Know About Astrological Solar Charts
What Is a Solar Return Chart and Why Is It Important?
A “return” occurs when a planet or luminary returns to the exact degrees and minutes of the sign in which you were born. It will speak to sun-ruled issues up until your next solar return, such as your vitality, confidence, interests, and obstacles and how you will exercise your willpower. This snapshot of the planets at the very moment you were never born changes, acting as a constant reference point for your life path and essence.
However, a slew of other constantly shifting charts can help you understand relationships, explain a phase of your life, and even offer short-term forecasts. One of these is the solar return chart.
The sun returns to the exact place in the sky where it was when you were born every year at the precise hour of your birth. The solar return chart is an astrology chart that predicts when the sun will return to its birth position. It is an excellent tool for assessing and forecasting the themes that will emerge for you throughout your next solar year. For casting a quick solar return chart, there are a number of free tools available online, or you can even refer to an astrologer in India.
The solar return chart is based on:
- Your date of birth.
- Your birthday (month and day) and the current year.
- Where you were when you celebrated your birthday that year.
Your Solar Return Chart Can Tell You A Lot
Instead of your birthday being a one-day event marked by a sprinkling of social media posts, you may make it an annual time for self-reflection. You can use your solar return chart to get some insight and intel about what lies ahead in the future year.
The exact placement of a solar return chart is a point of contention. Even if you chance to be travelling on that day, some astrologers recommend casting it for the place where you live and spend the most of your time. Others say you should set it for the physical spot you are on your solar return. I believe it is worthwhile to run all of the charts and then see which ones speak to you the most. The more data you have, the better.
The Position of the Sun: The sun is static. However, it is not always in the same house or forming the same angles with other celestial objects. It may have been in your second house of income when you were born. Still, it is now in your seventh house of partnership in your solar return chart, indicating that you will be more focused on one-on-one interactions this year. When the sun aligns with Venus, you know it is going to be a year of romance.
Rising Sign: The ascendant sign indicates how you will view your surroundings in the coming year. For example, if you have Leo on your ascendant, you may feel more like a go-getter who thrives on great experiences and time in the spotlight. Suppose your ascendant is in the opposite sign — in this case, Aquarius, the quirky, fixed air sign. In that case, you may be more interested in technology, humanitarian initiatives, and spending more time with groups of friends.
One, or in some circumstances, two planets rule each sign, supplying the essential purpose and energy of the sign. Gemini and Virgo, for example, are both ruled by Mercury, making them super communicators.
Importance of Comparing Charts
Another essential factor to consider while composing a Solar Return is to compare it to your natal chart. The Solar Return chart is a fantastic addition to your astrological toolkit. Consider the years in which you had life-altering events. You will be astounded when you look at the Solar Return charts. Then, as you design your impending Solar Return chart, gaze into the future. Prepare yourself for what is to come.
Conclusion:
In all, astrological Solar charts are one of the best tools to know about themes that will arise in future as well as assess them so that you can be prepared for your next solar year.
