Hope everyone's having a great year so far! I've got a request for you - would love some help analyzing my Solar Return chart posted below.

Thanks much!!

* Solar Return Sun in the 10th house (career), separating from rx Saturn in Virgo in the 6th house - not sure how to interpret

* Solar Return Moon in Libra in 7th (perhaps my emotional focus is on achieving harmony in my relationships?), applying to square Solar Return Sun in 10th - does this indicate a struggle to balance relationships and career? I hope not; I've had enough relationship troubles lately to last half a lifetime!

* I don't like the looks of my Solar Return Venus (in Pisces in 12th), applying to oppose rx Saturn (in Virgo in 6th) - looks a tad ominous to me.. ugh. It is also approaching conjunction with Uranus - a touch of the erratic in my love life? Ugh; again, I've had plenty of that & would love some stability.. However, she does apply to sextile my Solar Return Mars (in Capricorn in 10th) - that should be good (whatever it means), right?

* I like that my Solar Return Jupiter, North Node and Chiron are in my 11th house in Aquarius - good for achieving my goals/hopes, right? Perhaps this may indicate a social year (would be a nice change from being a 'hermit' this past year). Neptune in this house (with Moon applying to trine him) could be great too (again, whatever it means; I can't interpret this!)

* Do any of you use asteroids in your Solar Return charts? I don't know if it is even useful or meaningful, but threw them in anyways.. Solar Return Karma's conjunct the Solar Return DC - that should be good for relationships, right? Or in the very least, it should indicate that whatever happens in my personal life would be highly karmic.

* What do you make of all these aspects to my Solar Return Saturn - oppositions from Venus & Uranus, trines from Mars & Sun?

* Majority of planets (well, 3) in my 11th SR house in Aquarius - goal-oriented year?

Please pipe in with whatever you have - I'd appreciate any help interpreting this chart!!

* Solar Return Ascendant in Aries:

"You may take initiative in the area of life where Aries falls in your natal chart (this is my fifth house). You could also be impatient or impulsive in this area. This is a year of opportunities, in that you will be more adventurous and you will have the courage to make changes. You are more likely to attract new circumstances, people, and experiences into your life. Your approach to life is more direct than usual, and others might complain that you are more self-absorbed than usual! Decision-making is quick this year, and you are likely to be more physically active."

"Solar Return Ascendant in Aries

This year will bring new initiatives and projects. You will feel the desire to undertake new enterprises and take a new path. You will also feel impatient with your usual daily routine. If you are calm and slow by nature, this influence will make you more energetic, but if you are already a very active person, you will become more aggressive, perhaps even explosive and argumentative. You will definitely be energized this year. It is up to you to find ways to utilize this energy and drive in the best way.

If you would like to make a radical change in your life, or just want to assert your individuality more, this is the year to do it. The Mars energy will give you more courage and the will to take action, but you can also be more prone to accidents because you act hastily or impulsively, not thinking before you leap. Your own personal needs are more important to you at this time than the needs of others. You will also feel the desire to impose your opinions and will on others to a greater degree than usual, even to the point of strongly opposing them.

Under this influence you will feel stronger and more energetic. It would be a good time to take care of any health problem that arises. However, it is not a good year to have surgery if it can be put off to a later date. It would be advisable to engage in some physical activity or sport during this year in order to keep you more emotionally and physically balanced. You may suffer from fevers or headaches more frequently than you are accustomed to.

Thanks for your response. I'm totally hoping for a switch to a new job more in line with my career - I'm graduating this May! What aspect suggests this?

Gosh, and I hope my love life is more secret than non-existent!! Is that because of Venus in 12th?
