[b]A Solar Return is a transit. Here are the transits that accompany it:
Pluto sextile natal Saturn-Sun shows the next few years will be one of great confidence in putting your strengths to use. This is a time in which your innate strengths and natural bent, as signified by the sun, can be brought out. It is a time in which you can show others the real you that lies inside, and put yourself forward with greater confidence and effectiveness. You'll be able to draw on the strength that comes from your sober, serious outlook in a way that can be appreciated by others and allow you to find a meeting of the minds with like-minded folks.
Pluto [21S11] parallel natal Jupiter[21S45] shows a time of powerful resourcefulness and potential abundance to come from an attitude towards strong growth. This can be an especially good time to plan business activities and to engage in stretching yourself past your usual boundaries. Robert Hand says this kind of transit brings an opportunity for rebirth of optimism and hope. Don't be disheartened if your good intentions or optimism gets a negative response even from those who are in position to help you. Just continue with help elsewhere and work around them so long as you are engaging in ethical behavior.
Pluto parallel natal Uranus-Neptune is a transit that is fading and has introduced a profound change of concepts and connections to your life. These desires for change, for a broader, deeper, more interesting life, have now set you up to engage the world more broadly as seen in the Pluto transit to natal Jupiter.
Neptune conjunct and parallel natal Saturn is a transit of restructuring the concepts around which your life is structured. Some inhibiting or negative beliefs will be dissolved, even if you have found comfort in them in the past. You may feel some confusion at times, but this is a spiritual/conceptual restructuring that has to take place. It may involve some disappointments, some anxiety, but understand that there is only conceptual change taking place. You are developing and it is okay to discover that you were not taught an accurate or entirely functional view of life. It is time to purposely see more clearly and make sure that you are anchoring your world view in what your actual life experience has taught you and is teaching you.
At the moment it is not the best time for gambling or taking other types of risk because your view of the risks will not be clear and accurate. This is due to Jupiter's transit square natal Neptune. If you feel a euphoria pushing in a particular direction, delay it until you can get more information about what you are actually taking on.
