My Solar Return Experience ☼
Since today is my solar return/birthday, I wanted to share with you my analysis on my previous solar return chart so as to help you better understand how to read yours! 🥳🎉
⤠ Leo Rising (10°): As cliché as it might sound, I experimented a lot with my hairstyle this year and I took a lot more care of my hair overall! For the first time in my life, I dyed my hair twice and now it looks a lot more… flamboyant! I also learnt to love myself a bit more each day, and I can say that I’m more confident than I used to be! (it’s still a work in progress tbh hahaha). I specially strived on radiating a glowing and warming aura, I wanted to spread love and kindness around me. I also tried to experiment more my creative side and did a lot of inner work with my inner child.

⤠ Leo Rising falling in my 9H (natal chart): I focused soooo much on my studies because I wanted to go to South Korea for my next semester and I had to get the best grades as possible to do so (spoiler alert: at the time I’m writing this, I just found out I’ve been selected, I’m thrilled!!!). And since I’m majoring in foreign languages, I mostly focused my attention on improving my languages skills! I’m fascinated by foreign languages and cultures, so I kept learning more about them and started to think about my future goals. This was specially reinforced because I had my Sun & Venus in 9H in Aries, plus my chart ruler (Leo Rising & Sun) in 9H too for this year.

⤠ Sun (2°) & Venus (1°) in 9H Aries: I can say that I took a step back about some of my worries and as a result, I feel wiser and somehow more relax to some extent. I also drew more attention and got many compliments throughout this year (the combo of Sun conjuct Venus). Lastly, I made a new friend (she’s Korean = Venus in 9H) thanks to a language exchange program launched by my university (the combo in Aries 9H).

⤠ Moon (12°) in 12H Cancer: So this one was a bit particular since I originally have a Cancer Moon in 12°. Like I already mentioned with my Leo Rising, I’ve done a lot of inner work, I healed my inner child and part of my traumas. I had plenty of alone time to do so, I meditated, focused on me, myself, and I. I very much needed it and it helped me understand better who I am. It was a relief after the huge identity crisis I’ve gone through the previous year (Sun in 12H at this time).

⤠ Mercury (9°) & Neptune (21°) in 8H Pisces: I deconstructed my initial beliefs and thought process throughout this year. It has been like a spring cleaning in my mind hahaha. It was a real roller-coaster, it felt like I had no time to rest because I had to go through lots of disillusionments and reassess everything, but it really enlightened me. I started my healing journey so much more ready than before, I wanted a fresh new start for me. I wanted to release myself from all the unnecessary burdens I was carrying and while it was a scary process since I was stepping out of my comfort zone, I feel so much better nowadays. And I experimented my spirituality in a brand-new way, I got more in touch with my spirit guides and received many unexpected blessings.

⤠ Mars (10°) conjuct North Node (13°) in 11H Gemini: I wanted to give my time away for greater good, therefore I decided to volunteer in an association built up to help young children and teenagers feel better at school, learn new competences and gain more confidence in themselves. Even though it has its ups and downs, it’s a good experience and I feel happy to be helpful and comforting to someone who needs it. On another topic, I also went to more parties than usual (I’m a very introverted person sooo it’s a big deal to me) and few of my old friends I lost contact with came back into my life.

⤠ Saturn (10°) & Jupiter (21°) in 7H Aquarius: Just because you have planets in your 7H doesn’t mean you will date someone BUT I definitely had some… interesting experiences with some people, let’s put it that way 🤡 At least, I have plenty of funny anecdotes to tell and I’ve learnt my lessons (here is your combo of Saturn and Jupiter in the same house). The 7H represents the others in general tho, and this year, I’ve met many souls with whom I share the same vibrations, one of them being someone I consider as a mentor and I admire deeply, I had many eye-opening experiences thanks to these people.

⤠ Uranus (8°) & Lilith (19°) in 10H Taurus: I had a huuuge crisis when it comes to my future career. I’m still studying but I think a lot about what will come next and it’s stressing me out a lot because having no plans = insecurity to me. I was reconsidering what I should do and exploring different paths. I didn’t find any settled answer though, so I just decided to go with the flow and see what the future holds for me. Sometimes, it’s better to let go (Lilith is here for a reason). I also reappraised my goals and made some research to get a broader vision on what I could do next.
⍣ ೋ
⤠ Pluto (26°) in 6H Capricorn: Yay I did feel this one to some extent. I had to change some habits and create new ones. I obsessed a bit over my diet but I’m getting over it gradually… Since it was the first time I had to live by myself far from my family for a long period of time, I had to create a new routine and focus on my daily life with all its ups and downs, but my alone time (Moon in 12H Cancer + Mercury in 8H Pisces) helped me get used to it. Without surprise, I worked a l-o-t and I was worn out at some point but I reached my goals!
More observations:
⤠ I had Vertex and Juno in 5H Sagittarius, suggesting a fated meeting. Like I said, I met someone I consider as a mentor (Sagittarius + Juno sextile Jupiter). This person is a medium (Juno square Neptune) and someone I connected instantly with because we share many similar personality traits (Vertex square Sun & Venus). We talked about my future career (Juno trine MC), my love life (Vertex square Venus) and my energy overall with my life path (Vertex square Sun). Please note that this is a raw interpretation and you can interpret these aspects in so many different ways!
⤠ I started the year by procrastinating a lot because I felt stuck and had a hard time pulling myself together. So my challenge for this year was to overcome my critical inner voice and my mind (North Node square Mercury) by becoming more assertive and taking actions (North Node conjuct Mars), and thus restructuring my life and remaining disciplined while focusing on my goals (North Node trine Saturn).
⤠ Mars conjuct my natal Saturn: I had to refocus my attention on what was essential, organise my day-to-day life and use my time and energy wisely so I could be more effective and take decisions that will benefit me more on the long run.
⤠ I decided to go through this huge transformation after that the harmony in my home environment (Libra IC) had fallen apart and everything had to be rebuilt with new but stronger and better foundations (IC in 22° of Capricorn).
⤠ Fire and Air + Cardinal Dominance: I had to fight and get over (Fire) my inner demons and my limiting beliefs (Air) in order to regain control of my life (Cardinal).
⤠ I had many Capricorn and Sagittarius degrees, emphasising my focus on studies to get my degree and go abroad.
I won’t go any further but I hope it will help you get the tools to better grasp your own Solar Return Chart! Obviously there are many more elements to analyse but if you have questions about yours, my inbox is opened! 🎆
I can’t wait to see what this new year has in store for me… We’ll see! Lots of love 🧡
