water moons (cancer, scorpio, pisces) need to be careful of expending their emotional energy to others. they fall too easy a victim to psychic vampires and absorb otherâs emotions too much, to the point where they canât pinpoint their own. they often drain themselves for others, and it is not healthy. you are not everyoneâs free therapist, and you deserve time to heal yourself.
fire moons (aries, leo, sagittarius) need to be careful of faking happiness in order to please others. they have a tendency to always pretend to be fine as they feel an innate need to keep the energy up wherever they go. it is okay to need help and to experience the emotions (sadness, hurt, etc) that you label as âweakâ. you are strong regardless of what you think, and it is not your job to keep everyone else happy.
air moons (gemini, libra, aquarius) need to be careful of overanalyzing their own feelings. as much as it may seem illogical, sometimes you just need to feel things without reason. stop beating yourself up for feeling things and know that it is normal to be upset, need help, etc. emotional repression is not healthy, and you are not weak for wanting help. it is okay to talk to someone, it is not embarrassing to have feelings, you are still intelligent, logical, etc.
earth moons (taurus, virgo, capricorn) need to be careful of their overcritical nature. this isnât their behaviour towards others, but to themselves. they constantly push themselves too hard, too much; and shame themselves when they feel they need help, a break, etc. you should not repress your emotions, you are not unsuccessful for needing a break and needing help. it is okay to feel things, and to embrace those feelings. being emotional does not make you weak, and you are not a bad person for not being strong all the time.
SOLAR RETURNS 101
What is a Solar Return?
A Solar Return is an Astrological event that occurs on or around your birthday, and itâs when the Sun is exactly conjunct your natal Sun. The Universe creates a natal chart based on the exact minute this event occurs and then a chart is generated based on this phenomenon. That chart can be used to let you know of the year coming ahead and what to expect, events and relationships and highlights of that entire year.
How do I generate a Solar Return chart?

Just insert 2019 for the start date to learn more about your 20th SR, no need to punch in what day)
Select Solar Return for Chart type.
Generate the chart!
How do I interpret the Solar Return chart?
The most important thing in the whole Solar Return is the rising/ascendant. The second most important part is the Sun. Looking at the ascendant ruler is what the highlight of your year will kind of be.
Aries/Scorpio rising in the Solar Return? Look at where Mars is in the Solar Return chart. What house is it in? What aspects are being made to the SR Mars?
Taurus/Libra rising in the Solar Return? Look at where Venus is in the Solar Return chart. What house is it in? What aspects are being made to the SR Venus?
Gemini/Virgo rising in the Solar Return? Look at where Mercury is in the Solar Return chart. What house is it in? What aspects are being made to the SR Mercury?
The list goes on, all you need to know is the sign rulers and this will be very easy, you can use modern rulers like Pluto for Scorpio and Uranus for Aquarius and Neptune for Pisces but using the the traditional rulers side by side will give you another perspective too so donât forget them.
Looking at the house the Sun lies in is important too, after all, it is a SOLAR return. What house is it in? What are things associated with that house? What are the aspects being made to the Sun? Is it aspecting Venus in a negative way? Will you be more vain and self centered this year? Is it aspecting Mars in a positive way? Will you be more motivated and energetic this year?
What if I told you that âdivine feminine energyâ is in fact, not the opposite of hetero patriarchy, but is in fact an aspect of it?

In the Fire World (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) Relentless urge to enquire, provoke, and gain mastery over the environment in some form. Surroundings are overly stimulating, countless colours, sounds, and impulses fight for their attention at all times. Every task is taken as a challenge to be conquered
In the Earth World (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) Internal disorder, instability, and uncertainty project onto the environment and produce the false threat of chaos. Have naturalistic and humble approaches, they are proud of what they can create, fix, and operate. Interact best with surroundings best when they are grounded and non judgementally observant
Air World (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) Environments are interactive, interesting, mentally arousing and provide answers as it asks new questions. Natural teachers and perceptive students, seem to have the ability to learn by osmosis, as if they soak up information without listening or paying attentionÂ
Water World (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) The environment one moves into can seem like a constant mystery, the haunting threat of unknown waits to reveal itself when nobody else is looking. These people can be overly exhausted following social encounters and take copious alone time to recover

Stars Falling For YouÂ
Aries: AÂ lovestruck Aries and Venus in Aries looks forward to a future together. they openly display affection, loyalty, and treat the relationship with honour. the Aries will react furiously to any thing or anyone that threatens the partner, or the relationship. the lover is adopted as part of their family, and both feel safe around each other. the infatuated Aries can also be quite possessing or controlling. the cause is often a projection - for Aries know their own restlessness, curiosity, and desire for new experiences, and they fear that the partner has similar urges that will be acted uponÂ
Taurus:Â A lovestruck Taurus and Venus in Taurus is a hot blooded and raw romantic, hungry for the sensual imprint of your body. they are highly dedicated and devoted, and they take good care of people to ensure they are nourished, nurtured, and loved. the taurus can also develop a psychic tune with the partner when in love, largely intuiting when one is in danger or in need of support. they turn your house a home, they define a presence in your life that meets every need and make everything seem so easy. every special day is an opportunity to spoil and celebrate, and they never forget a sentimental birthday, anniversary, or date
Gemini: AÂ lovestruck Gemini and Venus in Gemini is loyal, thoughtful, and deeply invested in the relationship. the partner is considered to be their best friend, lover, and teacher. they want to share everything that they have seen and learned, and they appreciate a partner that they can tell everything to. when the relationship is serious, the adult steps inside and the child emerges with vulnerabilities in tow. the logic blurs in love, and Geminis may display a great amount of confusion, evasion, and instability. it seems to become evident here that they care and depend on you the partner plenty more than it appears. and because Geminis donât know how to dwell on their own sadness, their strong romantic feelings, fears, and guilt can make them sick to the stomach
Cancer: AÂ lovestruck Cancer and Venus in Cancer is loyal, generous, and thoughtful. they form a powerful psychic connection with the partner, and often have dreams and prophecies involving the person. the cancer becomes highly responsive to the unspoken emotions, and brutally defends the partner, and any threat directed at the relationship. at this stage in love, Cancers are willing to be vulnerable and let their endless stream of emotions flow. but the cancer can also respond in quite an intriguing way - such love provides a support system, Â a sense of inner and outer security, and a stable baseline where emotions can no longer control them. the risk of Cancerâs emotional dependency weakens alongside it, the cancer is empowered and inspired by the relationship, and not the other way around
Leo: You have captured a lovestruck Leo and Venus in Leo heart - and they want the world to know it too. itâs an act of personal gratification to present the Prince and Princess together. The relationship is like a grandiose carousel ride and they play the role of the lover in their most natural performance. Itâs possible that they even discuss marriage and the dream of their big day, and also reveal how they need you and depend on you in many ways. They take notice of the big and little things that make you feel special, and by this stage have finally let go of their insecurities - so they can be spontaneous, free, and hear your laughter.
Virgo: AÂ lovestruck Virgo and Venus in Virgo has finally let down their final guard - the mind. when the mental defences are released, the virgo initiates and responds to the intimacy of conversation. within these deep and meaningfuls, their secrets, concerns, and anxieties are slowly revealed. virgo may also share details about themselves and their lives they once feared would result in their partner abandoning them. they integrate the lover into their routine and find every opportunity to make a thoughtful gesture. Virgos will also dedicate and devote much of their resources into being your safe and supportive place, they want to be someone you can always depend on
Libra: AÂ lovestruck Libra and Venus in Libra exists in a state of bliss. they are highly responsive to the partnerâs emotional, physical, and intimate needs, and become strenuously defensive at any injustices suffered. their affection becomes evident as they integrate the partner into their language, such as commenting to friends that âwe love this songâ. Libras also remember every tiny detail that makes the partner unique and special, and they celebrate these gifts and unique qualities. they also make an effort to discover and engage with the partnerâs stories, interests, and passions
Sagittarius: A lovestruck Sagittarius and Venus in Sagittarius is deeply loyal, devoted, and evidently elevated in the partnerâs presence. while the Sagittarius may seem reluctant to verbalise their commitment to the relationship, they give the impression of being committed in other ways. they will buy tickets for trips or events in advance, and discuss future plans that appear to indicate a desire to continue the relationship. a sagittarius in love becomes very tender hearted and good intentioned, they will go above and beyond to ensure the partner is satisfied and fulfilled in their experience togetherÂ
Scorpio: A lovestruck Scorpio and Venus in Scorpio has dissolved the mask and let the skeletons in the closet out. They have surrendered and addicted to you as you are to them. The relationship is built on pure honesty, reverent respect, and intimate knowledge where secrets have bought the pair closer and healed many wounds within the Scorpio. In this stage, Scorpio is intensely protective of the partner and any threat to the relationship. They are tuned in, psychic to your emotions and needs, and receive many prophecies and visions about you. Scorpio is also remarkably life changing for the partner at this stage, they may challenge you to ask and accept better from yourself, and help soothe, cleanse, and perish your hidden wounds
Capricorn:Â a lovestruck Capricorn and Venus in Capricorn is focused on assisting the partner in every possible way to reach their goals and potential. they fall in love with someone âspecialâ in their eyes, and this is somebody worthy of their time and energy. capricorns relish with people who challenge themselves as the Capricorn does, and so they also find somebody to share their triumphs with. Capricorn is now part of a âpower coupleâ, a dual force of command, a pair with the world at their feet. and in all the things they construct throughout their lives, the universe they build with the life partner is their greatest success story
Aquarius: AÂ love struck Aquarius and Venus in Aquarius has profound loyalty and devotion toward the partner. they have integrated the person into their future, and the Aquarius is no longer afraid as they were in the early stages of the relationship. it is now rather the matter that the Aquarius is miserable or afraid when thinking of future without the lover. they discover something unique and new to love every moment, and they are aware of every eccentricity, daily ritual, and strange desire, and love the partner more for it
Pisces: AÂ deeply lovestruck Pisces and Venus in pisces willingly sacrifices their earthly spirit to love, nourish, and nurture the partner. this is the addict stage for pisces, and the great idyllic imagination is showered on the lover who takes the form of the redeemer. the intuition is highly active between the pair, and the pisces can have frequent dreams or prophecies involving the partner, itâs almost like they let part of themselves go and invite their lover inside. pisces are also creatively inspired and blissful in the cocoon of romance, the muse visits and makes love grandÂ
