example: sun returns every year. moon every month. saturn about 29 years...and so on

about the only planet you wouldnt return in your natural life is pluto

i think the toughest planet to get your return for is saturn, because saturn is the planet of restrictions...it'll be one of the toughest part of your life (most likely where the term mid life crises comes from)

it is the outer planets that you really want to look at with returns because you get the inner planet returns all the time...the outer ones are more telling with the future....however, i dont know what all of the returns mean specifically

I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?

I don't read SR's as stand alone cos you can get far more information from bi wheel, it can give a natal planet an opening or expression by conjuncting SR Asc or MC for example and any SR planets conj natal planets are important to.

when selecting a solar return chart from astro in Extended chart selection it's important to select 2nd option 'with houses' as this will put the degree onto planets and Angles --

“The house in which the Sun falls in the SR chart is the birthday month's forecast and influence, and each house after is the following month, since the Sun transits at the rate of one sign or house per month. Each house is treated as events in that month, and the sign and planet ruling the cusp influences the outlook for that month. The chart is used like a clock, writh 12 months on its face instead of 12 hours. As the Sun conjoins or aspects other planets in the SR, it will generate events” http://www.typhonvision.com/art-solarreturn.htm

Lastly, for something 'major' to happen, it should also be reflected in your transits, progressions and possibly solar arcs. So don't ignore these methods in favour of JUST solar returns

I assume I look at the sun on the outside, which is in the 5th on the outside. So this is the first month (my bday is the end of March) so is this representing my birth month March, or April because we are already at the end of the month?

Then I look at the houses on the outside as subsequent months?
