Correct ref place?You natal chart will help understand how this year will affect you.There is an abundance of energy in Aries/Libra. Where do you have that?CosmicKarma360Yeah, it should be correct. I have my correct birth time and place. I used the one there at Astrodienst. Could be I have it set up wrong. I'll double-check.*edit: Just checked, and yeah, it's my place of birth.CosmicKarma360The Libra bit I'm not sure about. My natal has no Libra, but I'm an Aries Sun with Mars in Aries.raspberriOkay and also change this chart to the 'natal and solar return chart'.Include asteroid Karma, and your name asteroid if they have it. Maybe Eros and Aphrodite.. CosmicKarma360Thanks!Ok, here's the Natal and Solar, with Karma, Eros and Aphrodite. Gotta admit, this one looks better than the first. raspberripost this one: http://www.astro.com/cgi/chart.cgi?cid=ipkfilefSIZ2I-u1288918295&lang=e&gm=a1&nhor=2&nho2=2&btyp=31&mth=gw&sday=13&smon=11&syr=2010&hsy=-1&zod=&orbp=&rs=0&ast= CosmicKarma360Okie Dokie.

Yeah, well, we'll see. Maybe it won't be so bad. Going to do all I can to stay positive. By the way, is there *anything* that's all right in there? Or should I go hide for a year lechienshouldn't the place of reference your current location and not your birth place?CosmicKarma360Oh, ok. Didn't know that, but I'm pretty much in the same place as my place of birth. Only about 20 miles apart. I can go back and change that, if it would make any great difference?lechienoh, i guess then there won't be much difference... it was my attempt to see if you can get a little different configuration in your chart...! i'm super bad at Solar return charts, but it does look a bit scary to me too... but again, it's YOU who's living in it and taking control, not the other way around. good luck!CosmicKarma360Tried to update the chart with my current location, and nothing had changed. Thanks for trying! I guess there's no polishing this t*rd. I'll just have to wait and see.raspberriSeems like you're gonna keep to yourself this year maybe focusing on your karma.CosmicKarma360Oooohhhh Boy... Seems like I've been doing plenty of that lately! Yikes, even more of the same to look forward to. <sigh...> I had been hoping that maybe the new year would be a kinder, gentler one, since I'll have all sorts of fun transits with Jupiter, but I guess not.Oh well, just going to try to go with the flow and *stay positive*. It's hard to do lately, but I'm learning here to appreciate the really small stuff.Thanks for all your input! I do appreciate it, even though it isn't exactly roses and candy joyrjwHere's something I found that might help you figure this out....Solar Return lesson 1November 30, 2008 by astrobabieSolar ReturnsBy Ron BippusGENERAL RULESThe Solar Return chart is calculated for the exact moment in time that theSun returns to its natal position, and is set in the place where youcurrently live. It forecasts the general outlook for the year ahead, andshould be used as part of a whole spectrum of techniques that includetransits, progressions, and directions. The Solar Return is a snapshot ofthe zodiac at the precise moment that the transiting Sun conjoins thenatal Sun. This makes the Solar Return similar to a horary, which makespredictions based on the quality of time that a question is asked or anevent occurs. It points out where the action is by its emphasis on certainhouses and signs. The Solar Return is always set up for your present placeof residence, not for your place of birth. Going somewhere else for yourbirthday to change the nature of the coming year does not really work,since you would have to stay there all year to experience the change inthe rising sign.INTERPRETATION1. The rising sign and the house cusp it represents in the natal chart arethe prime focus for the year. If the sign is intercepted in the natal chart,it will be a very frustrating and difficult year. Any planets in the firsthouse also strongly influence the emotional tenor, but the signs on allfour angles are always important. The Solar Return Ascendant and itsruler show the general approach to life, and the attitude, health andfortunes for the year ahead.2. The house that the Sun is in points at a major issue for the year, andshows where a great deal of energy is being applied. It shows the basiclife pattern for the year, and if there are many aspects to the Sun, it willbe a very active year. Fewer aspects indicate less activity and a moretranquil year. The house in which the Sun falls in the SR chart is thebirthday month’s forecast and influence, and each house after is thefollowing month, since the Sun transits at the rate of one sign or houseper month. Each house is treated as events in that month, and the signand planet ruling the cusp influences the outlook for that month. Thechart is used like a clock, with 12 months on its face instead of 12 hours.As the Sun conjoins or aspects other planets in the SR, it will generateevents.3. The Solar Return is a horary chart, and can be interpreted withoutreference to the natal chart. Special attention must be paid to the aspectsof the transiting Moon, since its last aspect before it changes signsdetermines the final outcome of all issues.a. If the Moon is void of course not much will change unless there areoverwhelming indications for change by house and aspect.b. If a planet changes signs before the Moon does, then all efforts forchange are wasted, nothing will come of them.c. If the final aspect is an opposition, then there will likely be aseparation from lovers or employers.d. If the final aspect is a square, then challenges are met successfully,indicating a very good year.e. If the final aspect is a conjunction to a benefic, or a trine or sextile,then everything will turn out well.4. The SR can be interpreted as a temporary natal chart for the year.The houses with several planets in them have the strongest influence onthe coming year. If the planets are somewhat scattered, then the chartmust be assessed by hemisphere and quadrant. If there are more planetsin angular houses, then this indicates many new projects for the yearahead. A preponderance of planets in the succeedent houses indicates thecompletion of work already under way. A majority of planets in the cadenthouses suggest a year of changes and mental activity and stress.The Moon in the Solar ReturnThe Moon shows every day activity. In Fire Signs, it’s very active, social,and possibly temperamental and confrontational. In Earth, there arepractical and material concerns. Financial affairs are important, and needto be worked on and balanced. Emotions are strong, but quiet andintroverted. In Air, communications and social activities, learning andcooler, detached emotions prevail. Energy levels are fairly good. In WaterSigns, it’s an emotional year, with family and relationship concerns andlow energy.The Moon sign signifies people with the qualities of that sign in your life.The Moon’s aspects, if strong and numerous, can cause emotional andhealth tensions, and a very active daily routine. If there are few aspects,life is more relaxed and slower, and you will have time to catch yourbreath. SR Moon above the horizon, your concerns are mostly focused on career and social connections. Below the horizon, the year involvessubconscious personal problems.Conjunct the MC, it is an indication of career changes and changes inpersonal goals. Conjunct the IC, family and emotional security issues aresharply highlighted. On the Ascendant, physical health and attitudestoward others are changeable, whereas on the Descendant it indicateslong term relationships, legal partnerships or marriage undergoingchange.The AscendantThe ascendant is what you want to be or achieve that year. TheDescendant is what you project to other people, how others see you.Planets on the Ascendant indicate the quality, character trait or goal youwish to achieve that year. Planets on the descendant are the qualities thatyou project to others.CARDINAL signs rising indicate a very active year, with a lot of energydirected into all areas of life.FIXED signs indicate concerns with financial or emotional security.MUTABLE signs indicate social activity and communication with others.The only problem here is indecisiveness.TIMINGThe transiting Sun moves at the rate of 1 sign or house per month.Therefore, if you count from the first house following the house that theSun is in, then that would be the first month after your birthday. Theother months are similarly counted. Watch for the Sun conjunctingplanets or points in the SR, since this triggers events. Use all innertransiting planets for event prediction, especially the Sun, since it is themost important planet in a SR. The aspects made by the Sun as it movesthrough the zodiac generate events.INTERPRETATION1. Put the natal planets around the inside of the chart, or print a bi-wheel.The natal/SR planetary aspects can be quite revealing. Also watch thetransiting inner planets making aspects to both SR and natal planets.2. SR Mercury by Aspect, Sign and House indicates thinking andcommunication patterns for the year. Watch for retrograde and directstations on a sensitive natal or SR point.3. SR Venus shows emotional and financial patterns, and how itsconjunctions can be used to accomplish beneficial changes.4. SR Mars shows action and energy patterns for the year. As it conjunctsplanets in the SR and natal charts, it provokes temper and causesfrustration, but can be source of strength and courage.5. SR North Node indicates areas of challenge and growth, whereas theSouth Node indicates areas of stagnation and previous activity that needsto be left behind. The outer planets as always indicate major events andactivities.6. Natal planets conjunct SR planets or angles emphasise and bring natalSolar Return lesson 1 « Astrobabie http://astrobabie.wordpress.com/2008/11/30/solar-return-lesson-1/[9/30/2010 2:32:07 AM]influences into that month of life. Natal angles conjunct SR planets bringthat natal house into that month of life.7. Grand aspect patterns bring about major changes in life, as will anynatal aspect pattern repeated in the SR.ASPECT INTERPRETATIONConjunctions – Emphasis for the year on those planetary house and signenergiesOppositions – Reaction from others and to others in your environment.They are separating aspects.Squares – Obstacles to be overcome, problems in life style, new drives,directions and actionsTrines – Benefits and enjoyment from your environment, time of rewardsfor use of talentsSextiles – Others appreciate your insights and creative abilities, achievinggoals through help from othersInconjuct – Arguments with those close to you because of differences inphilosophy, new working conditions and responsibilitiesSOLAR RETURN ASCENDING SIGNSARIES This indicates a year of action, quick decisions, and increasedphysical energy.

Family security needs have tobe addressed and resolved.LEO A good time to be creative, have fun, or have children. A tendencytoward extravagance needs to be watched. With hard aspectspredominant, care should be taken that the relationship and career don’tfounder due to an excessive search for pleasure.VIRGO A desire to change the type of work you do, and a discontent withthe job in general and the people at work in particular may predominate.Because of job related stress, health may become an issue. Criticism fromsuperiors may result in financial woes due to lost raises.LIBRA Legal issues surrounding relationships and business partnershipsmay arise.

The Sun is in the 4th house of family opposite the10th of career, the Moon of changes is in the 3rd of communication. Thelast aspect of the Moon is a conjunction to Mars, so we know that his yearended in conflict. Most of the planets are in the 3rd of neigbours andcommunication, the 4th of family and the 9th of lawyers, so we knowthese houses will be very active. Pluto in the 7th trining Venus alsoforetells many legal problems due to romantic affairs. There were storiesof Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky in the summer of 1998.

Despite the attacks on him and the attempts toimpeach him, Clinton survived since the last aspect of the Moon is aconjunction to Mars. Conjunctions are considered a sign of success inhorary.

Thank you so much for that. Exactly what I wanted to know. Wow, doesn't sound quite so scary now. Thanks again!
*edit. That is some chart. I'm looking, but I don't know what to say right now.
There is an abundance of energy in Aries/Libra. Where do you have that?
*edit: Just checked, and yeah, it's my place of birth.
Include asteroid Karma, and your name asteroid if they have it. Maybe Eros and Aphrodite..
Ok, here's the Natal and Solar, with Karma, Eros and Aphrodite. Gotta admit, this one looks better than the first.
