Another t-square is apparent right off the bat. Saturn and Uranus are still doing their dance, and bringing my Solar Moon into it, too.

Tim Wilson used to speak of the "Easy Opposition". This is when an opposition is made easier through a planet forming a trine and a sextile with both ends of the opposition. In this case Mercury (conjunct Ascendant) is that facilitator. It forms a trine to Saturn and a sextile to Uranus (sextile to Uranus sounds kinky). As such, in theory Mercury should be my means of easing any trouble that opposition causes.

That 12th house stellium is interesting. I'm not sure what to make of that.

With my natal:

I also have that stellium in the spiritual 12th house.

I also notice that my natal 9th house cusp is conjunct my SR Ascendant. I'm not sure if that should be considered significant or not, but it ties into this whole spiritual aspect of this chart.

ROFLMAO!

Anyway... what kind of chart do you request from astro.com to get this?

This is extremely significant, just think, what are the chances that the 9th house Cusp ruling truthful religious insights becomes SR Asc right when the Moon conjuncts the GC?
This is a wonderful divine plan unfolding for you to mazimize your spiritual knowledge this year.

Looks like one of those years for looking within. My own sun is in the 5th in my natal chart and in my Solar the moon (which is in the 12th in my natal chart) is in the 5th,and in Pisces...completely reversed (feeling turned inside-out ? lol)

That Sagittarius moon looks promising regardless, I'd say.

I read somewhere (was it Cafe Astrology?) that your ascendant sign in your Solar Return is how you approach that year, and the MC is what your aim is. What do you think? Do you feel that's true?

Your SR story is interesting. With your natal Sun in the 5th, and Moon in the 12th, you should be a fairly naturally creative person. Both of those houses, and probably both of those signs (Virgo and Taurus?) are creative. Your SR (Solar Return) Moon (water) in Pisces (water) [water's quite creative] in Leo's house of creative expression (the 5th) seems like it might bring your creativity into your life in a greater way. Does that SR Moon trine your SR Ascendant? If so, that links the creativity into the personality you're displaying this year.

My ascendant in my SR is in Libra, and hell...so much of my SR chart seems to be in Libra also, Mars, Venus, Mercury (That adds to the fluffy feeling)...and my Mercury and Venus are also in the 1st house of my SR too, along with Mars, conjunct the ascendant. The moon doesn't trine my SR ascendant, though it sextiles my natal one.

Overall, this has somehow been feeling like a year of gestation thus far. Creative work and life in general has this tone of somehow teeming beneath the surface, only making tiny ripples, but I've got major plans up my sleeve come March, when I move AGAIN, this time back to the bay area (Oh, I have waited YEARS to do this, dammit)

Are you feelin' the love from Saturn right now on your natal Moon ? I'm getting it on my sun and it's right at 0 degrees right now. It is not pretty for creativity, I can tell you that.

You've got that Mars in the 12th along with Pluto. I'm wondering how the Mars will play out, especially with a Cappy SR ascendant. Maybe you're more true to your Capricorn self this year somehow? It looks like a careful year, like you're planning something and being extremely thoughtful in your execution. That's just my gut instinct talking...

It has so much focus to it... and growth. I think you will learn some deep inner things about yourself and then structure and apply them through a re-birth.

Your chart reminds me a little of my natal

Mercury on the AC will give open the channels for you and let the inside come out and heal. Pluto conjunct sun l see as internal regeneration... mars conjunct moon... the moon will be released of it's emotional suppression by conjoining with applying conjunct to mars in sag.

Venus/neptune in aquarius... wow. You might even come out of this year with a totally different view of spiritual love.

does this make sense or am l spouting rubbish?
i'm reading it totally intuitively!

I noticed last night that Saturn and Uranus are both backing up my SR-Ascendant, and both signs that those planets rule are in the first.

That sounds reasonable. My SR-MC is nearly sextile my SR-Asc and suggests some transformational aim.

I think this might be a year for creativity for me as well with the Moon connecting to Venus conjunct Neptune. I have Venus conjunct Neptune in my natal, too.

My Moon's at 29 degrees, so it's not quite conjunct yet. Perhaps it will be during the coming year, though, which may correlate with my SR-Moon being in a more favorable position to my Sun. If you think about it, the ruler of my Sun, [which is] Saturn, is going to be exerting its influence on my Moon soon. I think this could possible indicate that my Sun and the sign of Capricorn in general may be taking over for this year. They're going to put the Moon into submission.

What ive noticed with my solar returns is the most important planet of the year is the ruler of the ascendant.

I think there will be some deep spiritual study for you in the coming year.......

Pluto Conjunct Sun/Moon 0 deg 17 min

Periodically you feel compulsively drawn to research or investigate something, or possibly just to do something that drives you from deep within yourself.
