The Solar Return

What is the Solar Return?

The Solar Return — also known as the Solar Revolution — is an astrological chart calculated for the exact moment when the Sun returns to the same degree and minute it occupied at your birth.
This event occurs once a year, coinciding with your birthday, and marks the beginning of a new life cycle that extends until your next anniversary.

The Solar Return chart acts as an energetic snapshot of the year, revealing the themes, lessons, and experiences that will be active in the coming twelve months.
It is an essential tool in both evolutionary and predictive astrology, offering a clear vision of the processes your soul is ready to experience.

What is the purpose of interpreting the Solar Return?

Interpreting your Solar Return allows you to understand the dominant energies of the year and how they will manifest across different areas of your life.
Through this reading, you can discover:

• Which psychological and emotional processes will be activated.

• Which archetypes and inner patterns will be most present.

• In which life areas (love, work, family, health, purpose) those energies will unfold.

• Which key moments will define your year and how to navigate them consciously.

The Ascendant of the Solar Return reveals the tone and attitude with which you will live this new cycle — showing how you will approach your year, what rhythm it will have, and from which energy you’ll experience it.

Each Solar Return is unique: some years bring expansion, others introspection, transition, or even crisis — preparing the ground for profound transformation.
Understanding these tendencies helps you align with the natural flow of your life instead of resisting it.

Benefits of a Solar Return Reading

A personalized Solar Return reading offers clarity, understanding, and perspective. Some of its key benefits include:

• Anticipating the themes and lessons of the year.

• Understanding the purpose behind your challenges.

• Making more conscious and aligned decisions.

• Finding meaning in your personal growth and transformation.

• Connecting with a wider spiritual perspective of your life.

It can also highlight important dates when significant aspects are activated, helping you prepare and flow more harmoniously with upcoming events.

While astrology doesn’t determine exactly how events will unfold, it provides a deep understanding of why and for what purpose you are experiencing them.

How is the Solar Return calculated?

The Solar Return is calculated using specialized astrological software that determines the exact moment the Sun returns to its natal position.
To obtain an accurate chart, the following data are required:

• Date of birth

• Exact time of birth

• Place of birth

• Current place of residence (since it changes the chart’s orientation)

When is it best to have a Solar Return reading?

There’s no single “ideal” time, but it is generally recommended to do it between one month before and one month after your birthday:

• Before your birthday: to consciously prepare for the new energies entering your life.

• After your birthday: to understand and integrate the processes already unfolding.

The perfect time is when you feel an inner call to understand your new cycle and align your choices with the purpose of your solar year.

A tool for your inner growth

The Solar Return is not merely about predicting events — its true purpose is to help you uncover the deeper meaning behind your experiences.
It’s an invitation to reconnect with your purpose, live with greater coherence, and start each year from a place of awareness and evolution.
