SOLAR RETURN : LOVE & RELATIONSHIP
Pictures : credit to Pinterest & owners
The solar return chart shows the main themes for the upcoming year as well as expected events. This location where you celebrate your birthday or your current location is important since it influences your whole Solar Return.
🌞 Part 1 : focus, highlight, main theme of solar return year
If you already know all the meaning of planets and houses in the solar return chart, you can skip this part
Planets In the Solar Return Chart
The symbolism of the planets in a Solar Return chart is generally interpreted similarly to their symbolism in a natal chart, but with a focus on the specific themes for the upcoming year. Here's a brief overview of the planet symbolism in a Solar Return chart:
☉Sun : Central focus for the year, highlighting the areas of life where you seek self-expression, recognition, and vitality.
☽ Moon : Emotional needs and responses for the year. It can indicate changes in your home life, family dynamics, and personal well-being.
☿ Mercury: Communication, learning, and mental activities for the year.
♀︎Venus : Love, relationships, beauty, creativity, social life, romantic experiences, and artistic pursuits for the year .
♂︎Mars : Energy, drive assertiveness, areas where you may be more motivated, ambitious, or potentially encounter challenges that require assertive action.
♃ Jupiter : Opportunities, growth, and expansion for the year. Associated with luck, abundance, optimism or learning opportunities.
♄ Saturn : Encountering responsibilities, challenges, and the need for discipline and structure in the coming year. It can also highlight areas of personal growth and mastery.
♅ Uranus : Associated with innovation, change, a desire for greater freedom, unconventional developments and unexpected events for the year.
♆ Neptune : Imagination, inspiration, and spiritual themes. Areas where you experience heightened creativity, spiritual growth, or a need for discernment in the year.
♇ Pluto : Undergo deep changes, transformation, power dynamics, or profound shifts in consciousness during the year.
Houses In the Solar Return Chart
The meaning of the houses in a Solar Return chart is generally interpreted similarly to their meaning in a natal chart. Any planets or asteroids in that particular house will play a crucial role in understanding the areas of life (astrological houses) that will be emphasized during your solar return chart for that year.
SR CHART : LOVE & ROMANCE
Of course, I will include real life people and celebrities inside. While astrology can offer insights and indications, it doesn't determine events with certainty. Free will, personal choices, and external factors also play a significant role in shaping the experience and influence the outcome.
This is just common placement in people who are already married, engaged and dating their partners that I found in their solar return chart for that year
PLANET / SIGN / HOUSE
💟 ASC IN LIBRA OR MUTABLE SIGN (PISCES, SAGITTARIUS, GEMINI, VIRGO ) = a year of profound change (possiblity of wedding might happen that year)
💟 SR SUN / MOON IN 5H / 7H = highlighting the importance of relationships and commitment during that year (7H). Highlighting the drama and romance for the year (5H). Your emotion and your focus will be on your relationship but it might affect your own emotion since you will prioritise your relationship with others over yourself.
Halsey is currently dating Avan Jodgia this year, she has her moon in 5H.
💟 SR VENUS TRINE / SEXTILE SR SATURN = serious commitment
Bringing stability, commitment and a sense of responsibilities to relationships. Long term relationships might occur. Especially when placed in a key relationship house like the 5H, 7H, & 11H, it can suggest a year of where relationships become more serious and long lasting.
Example :
HRH Prince William has their Venus (Gemini 7H) trine Saturn and Asteroid Groom 5129 (Libra 11H) in their SR 2011/2012, officially married to Catherine Middleton on 29 April 2011.
Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry has their Venus sextile Saturn in their SR 2018/2019, officially married to Megan Markle on 19 May 2018
💟 SR MERCURY IN 5H / 7H - Proposal or confession for the year. Mercury is the planet of communication, sitting in 5H / 7H might indicate someone might confess their feelings or propose you for that year
💟 SR SATURN IN 7H = wanting to be alone.
💟 SR SATURN / URANUS / NEPTUNE / PLUTO IN 5H OR 7H
This could be a very challenging aspect for couples. Saturn = barriers in a relationship. Uranus = unexpected changes (sudden breakup or heartbreak), breaking free from the relationship. Neptune = be careful of deception/illusion. Pluto = power struggles or deep changes in a relationship.
However, there's a good side of these placements too. Saturn = more serious relationship, commitment. Neptune = seeking spiritual connections together while exploring the idea of romance. Uranus = excitement and unexpected developments. Pluto = increased depth and intimacy. Saturn and Pluto could even bring committed partnerships during that year too.
💟 SR VERTEX IN 5H / 7H = fated to experience more in romance or relationship
💟 SR PLUTO / 8H RULER IN 1H OR 2H = I see a lot of married couple or those who in relationship will combine their assets with a joint bank account or buying property together
💟 SR VENUS / MOON (5H) OPPOSITE SR NEPTUNE IN 11H= unrequited love. If you had your Venus / moon in 5H opposing Neptune in 11H, you might experience an unrequited love (the friend that you're crush on) since neptune is the planet of illusion
💟 SR 5H RULER IN 5H / 7H - new chapter of love life (dating)
When Ariana Grande dated her former husband, Dalton Gomez, she had her (5H ruler in 7H) along with Venus and Sun in 5° for her SR 2020/2021. Olivia Rodrigo her 5H ruler is in 7H for her SR 2023/2024, she currently dated Louis Partridge. Kylie Jenner has her 5H ruler in 5H, she is currently dating Timothee Chamalet.
💟 JUPITER IN 5H = will increase the chance for you to get into a relationship
In SR 2023/2024, Olivia has her Jupiter in 5H and her Venus 29° (4H) , she is just currently dating Louis Partridge.
💟 SR ASTEROID BODA 1487 SEXTILE / TRINE SR SATURN / SR VENUS = wedding might happen that year
💟 ASTEROID CUPIDO 763 IN HOUSES = type of people that might have crush on that year. Same as the concept with your VENUS in the house, it can show the type of people you might have crush on
Example: if you have this asteroid in 9H, you might have a crush on someone from highschool or college, a foreigner or someone from that city that you plan to travel to.
💟 SR JUNO SEXTILE / TRINE SR SATURN = serious commitment
Please let me know what topic that you want to cover for my solar return observation? Or should I post more on relationships?

making silly sounds doesn’t always have to serve a purpose and is sometimes done purely for whimsy’s sake
Astrology Observations 4 : Solar Return Chart Edition
Having your SR Ascendant in the same sign as your natal chart's planet ruler sign will mean you'll likely have a lot of growth and prosperity that year. I have Sagittarius Rising (My Jupiter is in Scorpio). I've had SR Scorpio Rising twice in my life, and both times I did I went through many transformations and had a lot of good luck during those years. Possibly the best years of my life.
Having Jupiter or Saturn in your 4th house could mean you move houses that year.
Having Venus and/or Mars in your 12th house could make people obsessed with you and want to learn more about you, this is probably because you appear mysterious to them even if you're a generally open person, and they wanna get to the bottom of the mystery.
Whatever house pluto is in for that year will be where you change the most. For example if you have 5th house pluto one year then you may get a new hobby or something about your original hobbies will change durastically. Or 8th house pluto could mean you have a sexual or spirital awakening, maybe a near death experience, or you feel like a part of yourself died inside you.
Mars in the 11th house can mean you're more outgoing and even aggressive amongst friends and peers that year.
When the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction, there is a new moon. So those who have this placement that year will likely have many moments of realizations about themselves and be in very in tune with their emotions, wants, needs, ect. This is a very self aware period in your life but also an AMAZING time for manifestations to occur, you may literally speak some things into existance this year! When you align your emotions with your goals, and vise versa, great things will happen for you!
Along this note, check what house(s) this conjunction falls in! If they both are in different houses, it may weaken the manifesting power. However, if they are both in the same house, look at that houses themes to see what you'll need to focus on and to build up your karma for so you can more properly manifest!
Uranus aspecting North Node could mean a huge change in your plans or destiny that year at any point. For example you could be working on your art hobby and career but suddenly you get more chances at a cooking career or find yourself more interested in baking as a hobby, if that makes any sense.
Lilith in the 1st house, 10th, and/or conjunct to any of your personal planets can indicate being an over all social pariah that year. People may betray or break off relations with you, you may slowly realize some people are becoming more hostile to you, you may be seen as a bad guy in every situation, people might make you feel ashamed of yourself, ect. This is NOT a fun placement to have.
However, having Sagittarius or Gemini in your top 3 for that year though could mean making a lot of friends that year and learning about a lot of diferent peoples lives.
Having beneficial planets or astroids like Venus, Jupiter, Ceres, or Pallas conjunct to your Midheaven means you'll likely have a very prosperous and lucky year in your career and workplace. Things may feel like they just come easily to you.
Wherever your Sun and Moon are placed in the chart can show where most of your emotional and over all focus will be for that year. For example if you have your Sun in the 11th house and your Moon in the 2nd, many themes that you'll focus on that year will be finding your self worth in the groups you're in, standing up for your personal values, and trying to find what your place is in social circles.
Sun in the first house can indicate needing to focus more on yourself that year. More self care and less about other people's problems.
Having a Pisces or Scorpio Ascendant, and/or personal planets in the 8th/12th house are other very powerful placements for manifestation.
Saturn in the 4th house could mean something terrible or life changing is going to happen to you that year. You'll likely learn a lot of life lessons and karma will come to you, good or bad.
Speaking of the 4th house, this probably goes without saying but 4th house sign will show what kind of life to expect at home for that year, Mars or Saturn ruled signs will likely be malefic in this house and can cause some issues for you that year.
I don't know if this is because I'm a Sagittarius rising or if it's just because Jupiter is a lucky planet, but in all the best years of my life, Jupiter was strongly aspecting my ascendant (conjunction and opposition).
Venus aspecting Mars in SR 🤝 being the center of attention wherever you go and having everyone fawn over you for that year. This can also indicate a huge glowup, not just look wise but also socially as well. You will likely gain some level of popularity or positive recognition this year, even you're a more private and not outgoing person.
Having the astroid Nessus conjunct to any of your personal planets or points could make you a target of abuse and bullying for that year. However having Nessus or Uranus in the 3rd or 6th house could also generate the same effect.
Whatever house Uranus is in will be where you can suddenly lose and gain something of those themes all year long. For example, having Uranus in the 7th or 11th house could mean suddenly losing friends and/or close ones but also suddenly gaining them. Another example is Uranus in the 4th could mean having a family member die unexpectedly, or suddenly finding out a family member is pregnant.
Having Moon in the 10th house can indicate spending a lot of time working to advance in your career. You'll likely make big steps towarda your goals because of all the thought and soul you're going to put behind it this year. Same goes for Mars or Saturn in the 10th.
Speaking of Saturn, wherever Saturn is placed in your chart can show what you may have difficulties with or lose this year, but after working towards fixing it and learning from it, you will likely be awarded for your efforts in the end with getting back what you lost or gaining something better. Saturn is breaking you down and building you back up stronger and wiser. Saturn represents our life lessons for this year and makes us appreciate what we have by taking it away from us, but giving it back after we learn and grow.
Pluto aspecting the Moon or Ascendant will make you more sensitive but give you more emotional perseverance. You may become a person for people to lean on and look up to because of how emotionally strong and intelligent you'll likely become this year. But you may go through a destructive period this year that changes your perspective and warrants this change in your emotional psyche. Like Saturn, it'll tear you and all that you know down, to build you up stronger and wiser.
However, if Pluto is harshly aspecting your Sun, you might go through a long period of hardship or some kind of long lasting difficulty. This is because once Pluto starts aspecting your Sun, it'll stay in aspect of your Natal/Transit chart AND in many of your SR charts to come. So having it harshly aspected to your sun sign is NOT ideal. Pluto aspecting the Sun in SR will likely stay that aspect for 10+ years. You will have to change and transform a LOT during this period of your life, when either you want to or not.
Neptune in the 5th house could mean you focus on not very important things a lot this year. You'll likely focus a lot on yourself and what you want, but not what you need. You may neglect a lot of things you have to get done and procrastinate a LOT.
Uranus 9th house can indicate stepping out of your comfort zone and traveling a lot in general this year. You'll likely discover some new places that you like but never went to before.
Saturn 6th house can be a depressing placement for the workaholics, and over all anyone out there because it may feel like in the beginning of having this in your SR that no matter how hard you work that you're not getting anywhere with it and you're stuck in one place. You may feel more unaccomplished and/or unsuccessful during this year.

i have no object permanence about myself. if i’m not in anyones eye sight i assume i have ceased to be. finding out people remember i exist, think about me, and even talk about me when i’m not actively in front of them is startling news every time it is brought to my attention

Jupiter-Mercury people tend to have a loud and deep voice. In my observation their laugh is cute too. Also these people are always teaching things and like to share knowledge. Mostly teachers have this placement or someone at a higher post. These people can even earn through their voice. Like by starting their own podcast or Something.
Saturn-Mercury people tend to have a slow sometimes lazy voice. They have a very calm and nonchalant way of talking . Sometimes they can't get out right words out. Gives a very respectful voice. They calculate their words before talking. Can make someone always talk about rules and how you should always follow them
Neptune-Mercury people tend to have a dreamy, otherworldly type of voice. Their voice is just like a siren. Their voice is extremely attractive when they sing slow paced songs. They can enchant people with their voice. Can also give talents for music. Kind of voice that keeps you wanting for more.
Uranus-Neptune people tend to have a very unique voice . There's just something about their voice that screams different . Their voice stands out from the crowd. Voice so unique you'll recognize it from thousands of people. May also use unique words or the words that are not used normally.
Pluto-Mercury people tend to have an intimidating, seductive and deep voice. Even in woman. They voice seems very authoritative and can intimidated others as well. Though their voice is intimidating it's also seductive and sexy. Kind of voice that'll make you get addicted.

Hi! Hope you're doing good! I was wondering if you could explain what the venus persona chart means?
Venus Persona Chart : What Does it Represent?
As with all Persona Charts, Venus persona chart gives us a deep insight on our Venus sign, which typically the reason why two people with the same Venus sign can be very different because their placements in that persona chart could be different from eachothers.
Usually the way I like to think about it is all the planets represent their original themes from natal, but just applied for this specific area of life. Which Venus is how we love others, indulge, spend money, form relations with others, how we relate to others, and our aesthetical tastes. It has many meanings, after all, it is ruled by two signs.
So basically this is what I think each planet represents in the Venus Persona Chart-
The Ascendant in this chart represents how people think we perceive love and, how we initially act towards people trying to make moves on us, and peoples first impression of us as a suitor. Looking at the ruling planet's sign can give much insight about how we view relationships and what it takes to woo us.
The Sun and Venus Combination in this chart shows the true Venusian themes of how we operate in this part of our lives, here, Venus is just as important as the Sun. The Sun is how we project and attract people to us, what we do to appeal to others, meanwhile Venus in this chart is what we need in someone to feel attracted to them, what qualities do people need to have in order for us to like them.
The Moon in this chart represents how we feel about others emotionally, it's a lot like Venus in the sense that the Moon shows us what we need in a partner for us to get close to them. How we build emotional connects with people, how we are emotionally when it comes to other people, especially the spouse. Personally me, I think this placement is very important in synastry and I would check how you and your partners Venus PC Moon aspects one another, because this will show what yalls emotional dynamic will be like.
Mercury here shows how we communicate our tastes and appeal, how we utilize our Venus sign in speech. How we process our thoughts when it comes to relationships. Our thoughts and opinions on relationships and how we communicate to our spouse.
Mars here shows us our relationship libido, what energy we like to give to the relationship and expect back from others, how we act in arguments with people close to us, mostly the spouse, how we act generally in high stress situations that involve others, how we act when we're mad at others and how we forgive them.
The Mars and Venus combination here shows what the energy needs to be between you and some body else in order for them to appeal to you, How you act and expect to be treated, what energy and tendencies should people expect from being in a relationship with you, your side of the dynamic when it comes to you and someone else.
While where ever Venus is in on the natal chart is where you can make a lot of friends and acquaintances easily, and where you're generally well liked, whatever house Venus is in on the PC can be where you meet your spouse. For example, if you have Venus 10th house in this PC then you will likely meet your spouse on the road to success in your career when you're focusing on yourself and goals. They may just come to you naturally when they see you both have the same life goals for career and legacy. Here, when you focus on the bagging the bread, you'll bag the bitches along the journey🔥🔥.
Ari Lennox looking beautiful as always
My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.
I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”
I searched and searched for the post this graphic was from, and the OP deactivated, but I kept the graphic, because my BFF does the same thing, uses her imagination to come up with the worst pain she can imagine and pegs her “10″ there, and so is like, well, I’m conscious, so this must be a 5, and then the doctors don’t take her seriously. (And she then does things like driving herself to the hospital while in the process of giving birth. Probably should have called an ambulance for that one!)
So I found this and sent it to her. Because this is what they want to know: how badly is this pain affecting you? Not on a scale of “nothing” to “how I’d imagine it’d feel if bears were eating my still-living guts while I was on fire”.
I hate reposting stuff, but I’ll never find that post again and OP is deactivated, so, here’s a repost. I can delete this later, i just wanted to get it to you and I can’t embed images in a chat or an ask.
This is possibly why it took several weeks to diagnose my fractured spine.
Pain Scale transcription:
10 - I am in bed and I can’t move due to my pain. I need someone to take me to the emergency room because of my pain.
9 - My pain is all that I can think about. I can barely move or talk because of my pain.
8 - My pain is so severe that it is difficult to think of anything else. Talking and listening are difficult.
7 - I am in pain all the time. It keeps me from doing most activities.
6 - I think about my pain all of the time. I give up many activities because of my pain.
5 - I think about my pain most of the time. I cannot do some of the activities I need to do each day because of the pain.
4 - I am constantly aware of my pain but can continue most activities.
3 - My pain bothers me but I can ignore it most of the time.
2 - I have a low level of pain. I am aware of my pain only when I pay attention to it.
1 - My pain is hardly noticeable.
0 - I have no pain.
It’s also really important to get this kind of scale to people who have chronic pain, because chronic pain drastically lowers your perception of how “bad” any kind of pain actually is, and yet something like this pain scale is extremely user friendly.
For example, if someone asked me how much pain I’m in at any given time, I’d say hardly any, and yet I’m apparently at a chronic 2.5, and it only goes up from there depending on the day.
There’s also a similarly useful “Fatigue Scale”
I haven’t been below a 5 on this scale for 4 years
Here’s the fatigue scale
Fatigue scale image desc:
10: can barely move; can’t talk
9: can barely move; can talk
8: can move, but can’t do much more than watch TV
7: can watch TV and play a game on my phone simultaneously
6: can do work on my computer lying in bed
5: can get around the house, but definitely couldn’t go out
4: can run a light errand
3: can get in my 10,000 steps, making my fitbit happy
2: can do three or more activities in a single day
1: going clubbing!
See also the Mental Health Pain Scale by Graceful Patient:
Mental Health Pain Scale transcription:
MILD
1 - Everything is a-okay! There is absolutely nothing wrong. You’re probably cuddling a fluffy kitten right now. Enjoy!
2 - You’re a bit frustrated or disappointed, but you’re easily distracted and cheered up with a little effort.
3 - Things are bothering you, but you’re coping. You might be overtired or hungry. The emotional equivalent of a headache.
MODERATE
4 - Today is a bad day (or a few bad days). You still have the skills to get through it, but be gentle with yourself. Use self-care strategies.
5 - Your mental health is starting to impact on your everyday life. Easy things are becoming difficult. You should talk to your doctor.
6 - You can’t do things the way you usually do them due to your mental health. Impulsive and compulsive thoughts may be hard to cope with.
SEVERE
7 - You’re avoiding things that make you more distressed, but that will make it worse. You should definitely seek help. This is serious.
8 - You can’t hide your struggles any more. You may have issues sleeping, eating, having fun, socialising, and work/study. Your mental health is affecting almost all parts of your life.
9 - You’re at a critical point. You aren’t functioning any more. You need urgent help. You may be a risk to yourself or others if left untreated.
10 - The worst mental and emotional distress possible. You can no longer care for yourself. You can’t imagine things getting any worse. Contact a crisis line immediately.
These are so important! SO SO IMPORTANT SHARE THIS AND SAVE IT TO SHOW YOUR DOCTORS!
This is the first time I’ve seen the fatigue scale, and HOLY MOLY that’s a revelation!!! These should be on all hospital and doctor office walls.
