How To Read Solar Return Chart

Your Solar Return chart is cast for the exact moment the Sun returns to its natal position, and it’s one of the clearest ways to map the themes of your next solar year—the 12 months from one birthday to the next. In this multi-lesson course, you’ll learn to read it with confidence and precision, so you can recognise what’s being emphasised, what’s shifting, and how the year wants to unfold.

Across Solar Return Parts 1–3, we’ll cover where and how to calculate the chart, how to interpret planets within it, and how to work with the Solar Return’s lunar cycles—including 19 possible Moon positions and what repetition can signify. You’ll also explore recurring Moon–Saturn aspect patterns that return every 4–6 years, apply Hermetic lots inside the Solar Return, and understand modality changes—especially the pivotal 8–12 year rhythm when the MC’s modality shifts, marking major life turning points and opening new layers of discovery. This is designed to be the most comprehensive Solar Return reading you’ll find online, taught with traditional grounding and practical technique.
