About Solar Returns
A Solar Return chart is cast for the exact moment each year when the Sun returns to its precise position at your birth. This chart acts as a blueprint for the year ahead, from birthday to birthday. The Solar Return Ascendant (rising sign) colors the entire year's experiences, while emphasized houses indicate where your focus and major life events will occur. Solar Returns are one of astrology's most powerful predictive techniques for understanding annual themes.
