Solar Return

A solar return chart is cast for the exact moment the Sun returns to its birth position each year, forecasting themes for your upcoming birthday year.

What is Solar Return?

Your solar return occurs within a day of your birthday when the Sun reaches the exact degree it occupied at your birth. A chart cast for this moment reveals the themes, challenges, and opportunities of your next year. The solar return Ascendant is particularly important, as is the house placement of the Sun and any planets making close aspects to key points.

How TriAstra Uses Solar Return

TriAstra generates your Western solar return chart and compares its yearly themes with the current Saju annual pillar (Seun). Vedic Varshaphala/Tajaka is intentionally dormant until exact solar-return Tajaka support is implemented.

What Solar Return Means for You

Your solar return chart is like a preview of your birthday year. Understanding it helps you prepare for upcoming themes and make the most of favorable periods.
