Every year, the Sun returns to exactly where it was when you came into this life. Your solar return marks your personal new year, and its chart is your itinerary for the next 12 months around the zodiac.
While your birth chart is the treasure map to your lifelong potential, your solar return chart casts light on the energetic terrain rising to meet you this year. The planetary arrangements in a solar return chart act like signposts, pointing to the detours worth taking, the turns that invite risk, the stretches of road that test your endurance, and the companions who come along for the ride. There may be breakdowns or unexpected delays, but even those moments often reveal what needs attention or a change of direction.
During a Solar Return Expedition, we’ll chart the course for your upcoming, or most recent, solar return (around your birthday) and explore how it intersects with your natal placements. Reading both charts together highlights the lay of the land: what’s beginning to take shape, what’s coming full circle, and what’s ready for conscious acceleration. You might be merging into a new chapter or shifting for that curve in the distance. Maybe you’re just trying to get your bearings. Whatever the case, a solar return reading invites you to take the wheel with clarity and purpose.
