§1.0 - Introductory Comments: What is a Solar Return?
Introduction
You have certainly heard the
expression "Many happy returns!" - a
reference to the annual cycle that begins at your date of birth. The
astrological Solar Return is a chart cast for the moment when the Sun returns
to the exact position it held in your
Astrologers have proposed many methods for
interpreting the Solar Return chart. This report follows the method of
the Alexandre Volguine
(1903-1976), a French astrologer who, in 1937, first published his 15 years of
research on Returns. Until his death in 1976, Volguine
continued to update his study of Returns in subsequent editions of his classic
text, "LA TECHNIQUE DES REVOLUTIONS SOLAIRES". For those
interested in the astrological theory, the method of Volguine
is outlined in the appendix to this report.
In accord with Volguine's
method, this report is based on a Return chart cast for your location (which
may be different from your birth place) when the Sun returns to its position in
your
If you do not know your exact time of birth,
you can still do a general Return chart by using as your
presumed "birth time" the exact moment of sunrise on your birth date.
The Solar Return chart calculated from a sunrise birth chart provides a
generally accurate astrological forecast for the year ahead; but, if possible,
use your actual time of birth to get the most accurate forecast.
According to the astrological theory of Solar
Returns, the Natal chart represents a basic blueprint of the individual
(similar to the DNA within the nucleus of the cell) and the Return chart
reveals the annual renewal or reactivation of the Natal chart as measured
against both the ongoing movement of the planets and the newly generated set of
House cusps at the time the individual's Natal Sun is "reborn" at the
annual (SR) birthday. A key feature of Return chart interpretation
involves studying the relationship between the annual Return Houses and the
birth chart Houses.
Beginning with the next section, this report
will review and interpret the major factors identified by Volguine
for identifying the themes and events that will dominate your life during the
coming year. The current Solar Return chart actually spans a period of
about a year and a half because its influence is felt from three months before
the current birthday until three months after next year's birthday. This
three-month transitional overlap between subsequent Returns represents the
period when the themes of one year gradually give way to those of the next.
A note on stressful aspects:
In some delineations you will read that an adverse event could occur if the planet being discussed forms discordant aspects in the chart. The harsh aspects are the semi-square (45 degrees), the square (90 degrees), the sesqui-square (135 degrees), the inconjunct (150 degrees), and the opposition (180 degrees). In addition, the conjunction (joining together) of certain pairs of planets is intrinsically difficult because of the conflicting nature of the planets involved. To determine whether a stressful aspect is in effect, you may need to refer to the section where the aspects formed by the planet were first discussed in the report.
Into every life a little rain must fall.
Do not be alarmed if negative predictions show up in various sections of
this report. Stressful events often hover as potentials in the background
but never materialize. The repetition of a trend in several parts of the
horoscope chart is the key to accurate prediction in astrology. In
general, adverse events occur only when many aspects or configurations
repeatedly point toward their manifestation. If a stressful event is
mentioned but once or twice, it is unlikely to manifest. In any case,
forewarned is forearmed.
On Aspect Strengths: Next to the aspects
you will often find a listing of the "strength" of the aspect.
The number you see is based on how close the aspect is to being exact.
The higher the number, the more exact the aspect. The aspects range in
strength from a low of about 1 to a high of about 8. Theoretically, the
very close aspects are more likely to manifest in your life.
Astrological Houses in the Return Chart
If you are not familiar with
astrology, it will help to know a little about the astrological Houses as you
read this report. You probably know that there are 12 signs of the
zodiac. In a similar way, astrologers divide the horoscope wheel into 12
"Houses," which look like a pie cut into 12 pieces. Each House
represents a particular area of life. The 1st House starts at the Ascendant,
which is the point where the zodiac circle in the heavens crosses the horizon
in the east. By convention the Ascendant lies at the "
1st House: your body, personality, personal
initiatives, life force.
2nd House: money, income, possessions, values.
3rd House: communication, analytical thinking,
writing, local travel, siblings, neighbors.
4th House: home, family, parents, past
conditioning, final endings.
5th House: fun, romance, recreation, vacations,
children, sports, gambling, creative self-expression.
6th House: service, health concerns, daily
grind, subordinates, tenants, pets.
7th House: significant others, consultants,
partnerships, contracts, lawsuits, open enemies, the public.
8th House: death, sex, taxes, joint finances,
surgery, investigation, transformation, occult studies.
9th House: higher education, long-distance
travel, religion, philosophy, the law, foreign interests, publishing,
broadcasting.
10th House: career, worldly status, honors,
public standing, reputation authority, bosses, parental figures.
11th House: friends, hopes & wishes, group
involvements.
12th House: solitude, imaginative endeavors,
confinement, hospitalization, spiritual pursuits, loss of freedom, secret
enemies, self-undoing.
§2.0 - The Solar Return Sun: The Central Focus of the Year
General Significance of the Sun
The Sun, ruler of Leo, is the most important "planet" in the Return. The primal energy of the Sun makes possible our life on earth. The Sun enlivens, asserts, illuminates, vitalizes, promotes, fathers, energizes, individualizes, elevates, and makes conscious. Astrological aspects involving the Sun show how we achieve (or fail to achieve) honor, status, recognition, achievement, and individuation - how we shine, create, and make our mark on the world. People signified by the Sun include fathers, husbands, mature men, bosses, authority figures, and people of influence. In health matters, the Sun symbolizes the heart and the spine.
The Return placement and aspects of the Sun may
involve us either personally through health matters and life circumstances
governed by the Sun, or indirectly through people symbolized by the Sun. We
will next look at the zodiacal sign and House positions of the Sun in the Solar
Return chart.
Return Sun in Cancer
The Return Sun occupies the exact location in the same sign as the Sun in your birth chart. Having the Sun in Cancer generally makes you sensitive, imaginative, shrewd, protective, nurturing, empathic, tenacious, home oriented, security oriented, and often musically inclined. Your faults may include being too acquisitive, touchy, unforgiving, and perhaps overly sentimental. You tend to worry and may at times use alcohol a bit much.
Having considered the sign containing the Sun,
we now turn to the Sun's Return House position, which highlights the central
themes of the year ahead.
§2.1 - The House Occupied by the Sun: Major Issues of the Year
Return Sun in the Return 7th House
The Sun occupies your Return 7th House and places the focus on marriage, partnerships, legal matters, contractual agreements, consultative relationships, and dealings with the general public. You would do well to seek expert advice and to have those who are more knowledgeable than yourself represent you in any type of binding negotiation. This is likely to be a year of increased popularity with ample opportunities for socializing, teamwork, and contact with the public.
§2.2 - The Sun's Aspects in the Solar Return Chart
Return Sun inconjunct Return Pluto (Strength: 3.96)
With the Sun inconjunct Pluto in your Return chart, you may undergo changes, crises, or adjustments that will lead to significant personal growth and transformation. This aspect often correlates with events that serve as milestones dividing your life into before and after. An important person could pass from your life. You may feel at the mercy of forces beyond your control.
Issues of power, control, biological urges,
childbirth, sexual passion, and human mortality come to the fore. You
might develop an interest in Pluto-ruled matters such as research, healing,
sex, elimination, birth, death, dying, psychic phenomena, near-death
experiences, or the afterlife. If other aspects suggest health problems,
this Sun/Pluto connection could indicate a need for surgery. Pluto is a
very slow-moving planet and this influence may be felt for several years.
Return Sun inconjunct Return
This can be a year of artistic,
musical, poetic, or religious inspiration.
This stressful Sun/Neptune aspect warns that
the self-sacrifice of
A significant man could pass from your life.
Extra responsibilities for children may arise. If other factors suggest
health problems, this aspect could signify mysterious or difficult-to-diagnose
ailments, either physical or emotional, that affect you or a significant other.
On occasion, grief, loss, hospitalization, or confinement may be indicated.
Return Sun sesquiquadrate Return Uranus (Strength: 1.65)
The Sun discordantly aspecting Uranus enters your life like a bolt out of the blue, bringing abrupt events, unanticipated disruptions, unsettling news, and shocking events in its wake. Such happenings can have a major impact on your character, vitality, and individuality. All Sun/Uranus aspects tend to stimulate your creativity, excitability, self-will, and originality. Sudden flashes of insight increase your spiritual awareness. You may become more outspoken, even rebellious, and you might join with others in promoting a cause. Career breaks, job changes, or periods of unemployment due to layoffs or an inability to work are possible.
In the area of relationships, you may
experience sudden attachments and equally sudden breakups, estrangements, or
partings. Ongoing connections with others may undergo abrupt
fluctuations. The Sun symbolizes your father and other significant males;
the aspect to Uranus could signify unanticipated events, accidents, or
separations involving a man in your life. Stressful Sun/Uranus aspects
also expose you to the risk of accidents, injuries, or acute illness. Be
careful while traveling or when using electrical or mechanical equipment.
News about an accident, injury, heart problem, or an untimely death
sometimes accompanies this aspect.
§3.0 - The Solar Return Ascendant: Personal Themes for the Year
The Ascendant-Descendant or East-West Axis in the SR chart
The East-West Axis of the astrological map represents the Celestial Horizon. The Ascendant (in the East) signifies the filter through which you view the world and the manner in which you project your personality toward others. It also reflects your physical body and your personal initiatives. The Descendant (in the West) symbolizes your partnerships, close relationships, and the way you get along with other people.
Planets that form close aspects with the
East-West Axis of the Return chart will color your personality style, personal
initiatives, and manner of relating. The degree of the zodiac rising in
the East (the Ascendant) varies with your location on earth at the time of your
Solar Return. If the Return Ascendant receives particularly stressful
aspects, some astrologers advise their clients to travel to a location that
will minimize or negate those aspects on the day of their Solar Return.
In the following section we consider the influence of the horizon
(Ascendant-Descendant) axis in the year ahead.
Return Ascendant in Capricorn
The Capricorn Ascendant emphasizes matters related to the responsible, reserved, and status-conscious sign of the mountain goat. This is a time when you may assume new responsibilities and reap the rewards of your self-discipline and determination to achieve your worldly ambitions. If you have been working industriously toward a goal in recent years, you may now receive an honor, award, or other form of public recognition. You should use your sense of humor to balance your no-nonsense, rule-bound, and results-oriented approach to life.
Respect and status are important issues.
Dealings with the establishment, with the rules of society, with parents,
or with those in authority may occupy much of your time. You feel a need for
structure, and you may now lay down roots to establish yourself in the
community. Professional advancement could require the use of your
teaching, organizational, management, negotiation, or leadership skills.
This may also be a year when you buy, sell, refinance, or invest in real
estate. Whatever you do, you will be making important decisions and tying
up loose ends so that you can begin to realize your ambitions. Because
the Ascendant signifies your body, check to see whether the Ascendant itself or
the Ascendant's ruler Saturn forms stressful aspects. If so, you could
encounter health problems during the year.
The Houses of your
Because the planet Saturn rules the sign
Capricorn, Saturn is the ruler of the Ascendant in this year's Return chart.
§3.1 - The SR House Containing the Planet Ruling the SR Ascendant
Return Saturn in the Return 6th House
Return Saturn in the Return 6th House makes you serious about matters related to daily work, co-workers, service, pets, and health issues. You may need to care for someone who is ill. You are also likely to be quite busy at your work with lots of added responsibilities. Job dissatisfaction can leave you feeling burdened and fatigued. If you decide to quit, you may have a hard time finding a more suitable position. Saturn's lesson has to do with the value of working persistently at a task. On occasion, this position can signify emotional stress, physical illness, gravity accidents, broken bones, or work-related injuries. You could also experience the loss of a co-worker, the ending of a job, or the illness or death of a pet. Adopt a sensible regimen of diet, exercise, rest, and relaxation to safeguard your health, especially from stress-related illnesses. This is a good time to schedule both a medical and a dental checkup. If you approach your daily grind with integrity, the negative aspects of this position are unlikely to manifest.
§3.2 - The
Return Ascendant in the
The Natal House placement of
the Return Ascendant shows where you are most likely to take personal action
during the coming year. Your dominant interests and activities will
center on 5th House matters such as personal creativity, artistic or theatrical
endeavors, love affairs, romantic attachments, wedding plans, pleasures, recreation,
vacations, gambling, speculation, sports, outdoor activities, conception,
pregnancy, maternity/paternity, dealings with
children, education, and personal self-expression. In female charts, if
Return Uranus also happens to occupy the
The Return Ascendant-Descendant axis also
highlights 11th House issues such as your hopes and wishes, future projects,
income from career, group affiliations, socializing with friends, matters related
to children, and making new acquaintances. You might also pursue an
interest in computers, the Internet, astrology, or New Age topics.
§3.3 - Aspects involving the Ascendant in the Solar Return Chart
Return Ascendant sesquiquadrate Return Venus (Strength: 0.91)
Venus in square aspect to the Ascendant indicates stress, tension, or lack of cooperation in marriage, partnerships, and close relationships. Teamwork may be marred by dissension and disagreement. Partners may not carry their fair share of the workload. Women in your life can become a source of worry, strain, sadness, or anxiety. Feeling unloved or unwanted can take a toll on your health.
§3.4 - Planets Rising in the First House of the Solar Return Chart
Solar Return Planets occupying the Solar Return First House
The Return 1st House reveals your yearly personal or psychological activity. Any planets that occupy the Return 1st House show the nature of your activity and your psychological reactions during the coming year. If a planet lies close to the Return Ascendant (within 5 degrees), you will have a fair amount of personal control over the action. Planets in the 1st House that lie further away from the Return Ascendant (more than 5 degrees) indicate that you will have less control and be more at the mercy of the forces symbolized by those planets.
The Return planets that occupy your Return 1st
House are listed below. If this section is blank, there are no 1st House
planets in your Return chart.
§4.0 - The Solar Return Midheaven: Worldly Status, Career, and Public Activity
The North-South or
The North-South or Meridian Axis of the astrological map represents your vocation, public image, parents, and family matters. The Midheaven at the top of the chart (due south in those charts of the northern hemisphere) symbolizes your career, worldly status, and public activities. The Imum Coeli (I.C.) at the bottom of the chart signifies your home, your domestic life, and the final conclusion of pending affairs.
Planets that form close aspects with the
North-South Axis of the Return chart will color vocational and family matters
during the year. The degree of the zodiac on your Return Midheaven depends on your location on earth at the time of
your Solar Return. If the Return Midheaven
receives particularly stressful aspects, some astrologers advise their clients
to travel to a location that will minimize or negate those aspects on the day
of their Solar Return. In the following section we consider the influence
of the meridian axis in your Return chart.
Return Midheaven in Scorpio
The Midheaven in Scorpio suggests that your career, status, and public activities will involve your capacity for investigation and in-depth study of a subject. You are able to penetrate beneath the surface to ferret out secrets that others might overlook. A certain amount of emotional intensity this year is likely to involve the career arena. Your capacity for determined effort and intense concentration are definite assets in furthering your ambitions.
The House position of the Return Midheaven's planetary ruler gives further information about
your social reputation and vocation in the year ahead. The planet ruling
the Return Midheaven is discussed below.
Pluto and Mars are respectively the modern and
traditional planetary rulers of the sign Scorpio. Thus, Pluto and Mars
are the rulers of the Midheaven in this year's Return
chart.
§4.1 - The SR House Containing the Planet Ruling the SR Midheaven
Return Pluto in the Return 12th House
Pluto, the planet of radical change and transformation, occupies your Return 12th House of spirituality, artistic expression, hospitalization, confinement, sleep, escapism, and self-undoing. Work related to hospitals, asylums, prisons, museums, ashrams, or similar large institutions can have a powerful personal impact. This is a year to look within and resolve deep-seated psychological hang-ups that now come to light. As you confront the "Shadow" aspects of your personality, you may undergo intense experiences that bring about profound spiritual transformation.
The 12th is the House of "secret
enemies," and someone you have alienated may oppose your interests.
You are likely to reorganize your priorities and reflect on the meaning
of life. In-depth research and study are favored. If other factors
in the chart indicate health difficulties, there could be problems caused by
alcohol or drugs, violent encounters, or a need for surgery or hospitalization.
On occasion, this position will signify an intense period of grief over
the loss of a loved one.

Return Midheaven trine Return Uranus (Strength: 2.40)
Uranus, the Great Awakener, represents surprise, novelty, originality, and disruption. Uranus is also a symbol of nonconformity, independence, sudden insight, and electrifying change. With Uranus favorably aspecting your Midheaven, you are likely to experience sudden positive changes related to your career, status in society, relationship with authority, and professional life. Positively, Uranus stimulates your inventiveness and creativity. You could do well in any type of high-tech endeavor. Community service and altruistic undertakings may draw your attention. This would also be a favorable year to study astrology and other New Age topics.
Return Midheaven trine Return Mercury (Strength: 1.38)
Mercury harmoniously aspecting the Midheaven places a favorable emphasis on communication, adaptability, education, travel, and commerce. This year will be full of mental activity, talk, letters, phone calls, writing, travel, movement, busy work, short trips, and frequent comings and goings. You tend to be more youthful, agile, quick-witted, and verbally expressive. You may teach, take classes, or receive training under this influence. Pursuing further education can have a beneficial effect on your career. Activities that require physical movement and dexterity are especially appealing. You are also likely to have frequent contacts with siblings, young people, kin, neighbors, and members of your local community. Things that you write or say may receive public notice or bring you public attention.
§4.4 - Planets in the Tenth House of the Solar Return Chart
SR Planets in the Solar Return Tenth House
The Return 10th House relates to career, family, worldly status, and any public actions you take during the year. The Return planets that occupy the Return 10th House reveal the nature of such public activity and how it may affect your vocational and family life.
The Return planets that occupy your Return 10th
House are listed below. If this section is blank, there are no 10th House
planets in your Return chart.
§5.0 - The Solar Return Moon: Your Emotional Life
General Significance of the Moon
The Moon, ruler of Cancer, receives and reflects the light of the Sun. As such, the Moon symbolizes the inner, reflective, receptive, emotional, and subconscious aspects of human life. The Moon represents our feeling states, heredity, instincts, habit patterns, our early experiences with mothering, and our domestic life. Astrological aspects involving the Moon reveal how we react emotionally, and how we give or receive nurturing and comfort. People signified by the Moon include mothers, females in general, and the significant women in our lives. In health matters, the Moon symbolizes cyclic changes, nutrition, and female issues; also, the breasts, the stomach, and the brain matter.
The Return placement and aspects of the Moon
may involve us either personally through health matters and life circumstances
governed by the Moon, or indirectly through people symbolized by the Moon.
Lunar aspects that are said to perfect on a certain date have an orb of a
month or longer. We will next consider the Return zodiacal sign and House
placements of the Moon.
Return Moon in Taurus
The Moon in Taurus stabilizes your emotions, enhances your sense of security, and promises comfortable relationships with others. You tend to have a lot of patience and to be able to enjoy the good things in life. Music will be especially enjoyable and relaxing at this time. There is some risk of overeating and other forms of self-indulgence. Also, being too stubborn, opinionated, or possessive can also lead to difficulties with others.
Return Moon in the Return 4th House
The Moon, which reflects your feelings and mood states, occupies the Return 4th House of home, family, parents, real estate, past influences, and personal foundations. Relocation, remodeling, moving to a new home, buying or selling property, and changes in your family are possible. Your emotional life comes into high focus, and fluctuations in your mood may play a prominent role in your life. Intimate supportive and nurturing relationships become a priority. You are likely to feel a need to better understand your ethnic, racial and familial roots and traditions. Pay special attention to your relationships with parents and elders at this time. As the 4th House represents endings, the Moon here can indicate the passing of someone or something that has been important in your life.
§5.1 - Aspects involving the Moon in the Solar Return Chart
Return Moon square Return
Venus (Strength: 1.76) - Aspect perfects
on
The Moon discordantly aspecting Venus warns of potential conflict, tension, unpopularity, separation, or lack of appreciation in relationships. Make a special effort to let significant others know how much you care about them. You may undergo periods of moodiness and irritability during which you are swayed by emotion and may be unable to think rationally. Beware of acting against your better judgment and acquiescing to the half-baked, misdirected plans of others. If you base your actions solely on emotion, you will suffer the consequences at a later date. Difficulties may arise due to excess, poor judgment, maudlin sentimentality, or overindulgence. This aspect can correlate with difficulties in a love affair, marriage, partnership, pregnancy, or childbirth. Make an effort to communicate your needs clearly and to work out your differences with close associates.
Return Moon sextile Return Jupiter (Strength:
1.19) - Aspect perfects on
The Moon in aspect with Jupiter brings optimism, joy, good fortune, and pleasant experiences into your life. Close personal relationships bring much satisfaction. Your popularity increases, and you excel at any dealings with the public. Favorable publicity often accompanies this aspect. Events occur that increase your happiness, emotional well being, and sense of security. Success comes in social, domestic, and financial affairs. Rewarding religious experiences are possible. If indications of marriage occur in the chart, this aspect supports the formation of a bond of love and nurturance.
Return Moon square
Stressful Moon/Venus contacts usually point to some type of excess in your emotional life. You will need to beware of overindulgence and maudlin sentimentality. Watch your spending and be sure you have money for a rainy day.
Natal Moon's North Node conjunct Return Moon's North Node (Strength: 4.08 )
A new beginning in your personal growth and spiritual life
You are passing through the time of your lunar nodal return, which occurs roughly every 18 to 19 years. The Moon's Nodes are points in space where eclipses occur. Astrologically, they are thought to represent spiritual lessons we need to learn during our lifetimes. With the Return Lunar Node crossing your Natal Lunar Node, you are starting a new cycle of soul development. The sign and house placement of the Lunar Node indicates where you face challenges and need to grow.
§6.0 - Mercury: Communication, Writing, Learning, Selling, Short Trips
General Significance of Mercury
Mercury, ruler of Gemini and Virgo, was the messenger of the gods. Mercury symbolizes language, communication, the thinking process, the intellect, writing, correspondence, education, commerce, transit, movement, and all means of transport. Astrological aspects involving Mercury show how we think and communicate our ideas to others; also, how we move about in our community. People signified by Mercury include writers, communicators, salespersons, students, the young people in our lives, messengers, drivers, neighbors, siblings, and other kin. In health matters, Mercury symbolizes the tongue, upper extremities, lungs, respiratory system, nervous system, thyroid, and the sense of sight.
The Return placement and aspects of Mercury may
involve us either personally through health matters and life circumstances
governed by Mercury, or indirectly through people symbolized by Mercury.
Travel accidents are often shown by afflictions to Mercury, especially
hard aspects involving Mars or Uranus. We will next consider the Return
zodiacal sign and House placements of Mercury.
Return Mercury in the Return 6th House
With Mercury in the Return 6th House, you find yourself thinking and communicating about health, diet, exercise, work, pets, co-workers, and services you perform for others. You may be very busy at the office dealing with phone calls, communications, paperwork, and detailed information. News about a job may arrive by phone or in the mail. Information about medical treatments may be just what the doctor ordered. You may enjoy spending time with a pet. You could suffer minor physical ailments and find yourself worrying about your health and other issues of concern.

Your ability to observe carefully, think objectively, and communicate clearly are enhanced. This is an excellent time to plan for the future and to organize your thinking to best achieve your goals.
§7.0 - Venus: Love, Money, Values, Relationships, Art, Beauty
General Significance of Venus
Venus, ruler of Taurus and Libra, was the goddess of love and beauty. Venus symbolizes attraction, romance, partnerships, social life, affection, harmony, fashion, art, style, luxury, money, possessions, indulgences, and sensual pleasures. Astrological aspects involving Venus show how we give and receive love, especially of the romantic sort; also, how we manage our finances, find pleasure, and adorn ourselves. People signified by Venus include lovers, wives, important women in our lives, artists, decorators, musicians, and anyone dedicated to the pursuit of beauty and/or pleasure. In health matters, Venus symbolizes problems of self-indulgence; also, the throat, the kidneys, the lower back or lumbar region, the parathyroids, and the sense of touch.
The Return placement and aspects of Venus may
involve us either personally through health matters and life circumstances
governed by Venus, or indirectly through people symbolized by Venus. We will
next consider the Return zodiacal sign and House placements of Venus.
Return Venus in the Return 8th House
Benefic Venus occupying your 8th House has a fortunate effect on the areas of joint finances, shared resources, sex, death, inheritance, taxes, research, and occult interests. Social contacts may involve you in psychic or paranormal experiences. Sexual opportunities may be plentiful and, most likely, will be intense. Power struggles could arise in close relationships. A spouse or partner may enjoy increased earnings, but may also be tempted to spend more on luxury items. You can exert a beneficial influence on a partner's management of money and resources.
This is a good time to get your financial house
in order. You may wish to pay off old debts, refinance your mortgage,

§8.0 - Mars: Initiative, Leadership, Drive, Passion, Energy
General Significance of Mars
Mars, ruler of Aries and Scorpio, was the god of war. Mars symbolizes initiative, courage, action, daring, aggression, leadership, drive, physical energy, heat, sexual passion, and the willingness to face challenges. Astrological aspects involving Mars show how we act independently, pioneer ideas, assert ourselves, and deal with competition. People signified by Mars include young men, husbands, leaders, warriors, and important men in our lives; also, those who regularly use force, tools, or weapons in their work. In health matters, Mars symbolizes fevers, cuts, wounds, the head, the muscular system, red blood cells, the gonads, urogenital system, adrenal gland, and the sense of taste.
The Return placement and aspects of Mars may
involve us either personally through health matters and life circumstances
governed by Mars, or indirectly through people symbolized by Mars. We will next
consider the Return zodiacal sign and House placements of Mars.
Return Mars in Cancer
The planet Mars symbolizes your energy, drive, and personal initiative. The zodiacal sign in the Return chart that hosts the planet Mars modifies how you are able to assert yourself, confront obstacles, and face challenges in the year ahead. With Return Mars in protective Cancer, your energy flows into imaginative, domestic, and nurturing channels. You are likely to be somewhat moody and emotional. Your ambition is heightened, and you tend to be protective and security conscious. Much work may be done at home, but you must also guard against friction on the domestic front.
Return Mars in the Return 7th House
Taking action regarding partnerships, binding agreements, and public activity
Mars, the action planet, shows where you direct your energy. The god of war in the House of marriage and cooperative endeavors energizes your partnerships, contractual agreements, close personal relationships, and popularity with the public. If you handle this energy well, you may encounter someone with whom you could have a lively and sexually satisfying relationship. This is a good time to initiate cooperative ventures with others, but be sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons of any long-term commitments. Contracts, negotiations, or lawsuits may occupy your time. Your work could bring your before the public.
The impatient "me first" attitude of
the red planet could cause conflicts or disruptions in a marriage, partnership,
or contractual relationship. You may view others as selfish, or they may
see you as primarily satisfying your own desires at their expense.
Remember that you need to give in order to get; otherwise, close
relationships could turn into a battlefield during the coming year.
§8.1 - Aspects of Mars in the Solar Return Chart
Return Mars conjunct Return Jupiter (Strength: 5.96)
Mars conjunct Jupiter can indicate rash, impetuous, or impulsive behavior. If you use this energy wisely, you will have tremendous willpower, creativity, and energy that you can direct toward achieving your goals. You can act decisively, with leadership and courage, in professional matters. Success in contracts, negotiations, and business deals comes easily. Personally, this aspect often correlates with engagement, marriage, or the birth of a child.
The main negative feature of this aspect is a
tendency to overdo things. You are ready and willing to fight for your
beliefs, but you should also act with moderation. Remember that haste
makes waste and that patience is a virtue. Rushing about with foolish
abandon can result in accidents, injuries, health problems, and breakdowns.
Difficulties could arise because of your sense of urgency, excitability,
hyperactivity, overconfidence, competitiveness, or manic behavior. Taking
risks without proper caution or planning should be scrupulously avoided.
A word to the wise is sufficient; look before you leap.
Return Mars inconjunct Return Uranus (Strength: 1.18)
Mars discordantly aspecting Uranus warns of sudden outbursts of forceful or violent energy that could have negative consequences in your life. You may undergo periods of stress, turmoil, or tension during which you are tempted to act precipitously. Bouts of anger, combativeness, or abrupt applications of force can abruptly throw you off course. The aggressive energy of this aspect may be self-generated or may be directed toward you from other people. You would do well to think before you act and to seek professional advice rather than acting on impulse.
There is a possibility of accidents, falls,
burns, cuts, injuries, wounds, or surgical operations, which could involve
either you or someone you care for. You may feel a strong desire to break
free of restrictions, and you are more than ready to fight for the right to
express your individuality. If not used carefully, motor vehicles, guns,
weapons, tools, ladders, and mechanical devices could pose a risk of harm to
self or others.
Return Mars conjunct
Return Mars conjunct Natal Saturn can be a difficult aspect that puts a damper on your expenditure of energy.

This is not the year to skip your routine dental exam. In general you will need to work longer and harder to achieve your goals. Used constructively, the energy of this aspect can give you remarkable endurance and great determination in getting any job done, but if you have cut corners, you are likely now to pay a price. On occasion, an experience of loss, grief, or bereavement will accompany this configuration.
Return Mars square

§15.0 - Connections between Planets and House Cusps
Alignments of Planets with House Cusps
The House cusps are power points in the chart, and any planet that aligns closely with a House cusp will be especially prominent in the year ahead. Planet to House cusp alignments often portend specific events whose nature combines the symbolism of the planet and the House involved.
The three sections that follow will look at the
contacts, if any, (1) between Return planets and Return House cusps; (2)
between Return planets and Natal House cusps; and finally, (3) between Natal
planets and Return House cusps.
When comparing the Solar Return and the natal
charts, any close alignment between a planet and a House cusp is highly
significant. In fact, the conjunctions of planets with House cusps in the
superimposed natal and return charts usually pinpoint the major factors that
will be operative during the year. Pay close attention to the following
three sections because they highlight the specific events that you will need to
deal with in the coming Solar Return period.
§15.1 - Return Planets connected with SR House Cusps
Solar Return Planets Connected with Solar Return House Cusps
This section considers the influence of any planet or point in the Solar Return chart that forms a close connection with a House cusp in the Solar Return chart.
Return Pluto conjunct Return 12th House (Strength: 6.32 )
Return Pluto conjunct the cusp of the Return 12th House can signify a loss, death, or period of grief. Spiritual and psychological transformation results from facing your ordeals and sorrows. Those who oppose your ambitions may mount a powerful sneak attack. Hospitalization or confinement is possible. Be careful to avoid any type of underhanded activity. Borrowing or lending money could be fraught with misunderstandings, confusion, or outright deception. If you're feeling paranoid this year, it may really be that secret enemies are plotting against you.

Return Moon conjunct Return 5th House (Strength: 5.05 )
The Moon on the 5th House cusp brings change and flux to your love life, recreational activities, creative endeavors, and dealings with children. Romantic interludes are highly likely. Be careful with your investments, as you are prone to taking risks on the basis of gut feelings.
Return Moon's North Node conjunct Return 6th House (Strength: 4.19 )
The Moon's North Node on the cusp of the 6th House advises you to seek personal growth through integrity in doing your daily work. Acting with compassion often results in improved physical health. Find a way to balance spiritual ideals with the duty to take care of practical necessities.
Return Sun conjunct Return 7th House (Strength: 3.10 )
Whenever the Return Sun conjoins an angular House cusp (1, 4, 7, or 10), events occur that increase your popularity and bolster your self-esteem. The Sun enhances your self-assurance, charisma, vitality, and leadership ability. Others are likely to notice you and to reward your talents and accomplishments. You may receive an honor, an award, or a degree at this time. Your relationship with your father may come into high focus. Some marry, change residence, or have children; but if the Sun is afflicted, concerns about children may arise. Close relationships, business partnerships, and contractual agreements are all favored. Sales, negotiations, counseling, legal advocacy, or any activities that involve one-to-one contact with others tend to prosper. Because the Sun lies opposite your Return Ascendant, which signifies the body, your physical health and stamina may be below par in such a year. A bout of illness could punctuate the year ahead.

Natal Moon's North Node conjunct Return 6th House (Strength: 1.28 )
Meticulous efficiency is amply rewarded
With the Natal Lunar Nodes falling across the 6th and 12th House cusps of the Solar Return chart, you are advised to take care of your health by engaging in a sensible regimen of diet, rest, and exercise. Paying attention to the details of your daily life is the key to personal growth. A co-worker, subordinate, or tenant can open doors to new opportunities. A pet may bring joy to your life. During rough spots this year, don't give in to the temptation to play the martyr and to put your worst foot forward.
