SOLAR RETURN

Your year doesn't start on 1 January. It starts on your birthday.

And there's a chart that tells you what it's about.

A Solar Return is the map of your next twelve months: where the focus lands, what moves, what asks for attention and what opens up. Written for you, not for your sign.

What a Solar Return is

Every year, at the exact moment the Sun returns to the position it held when you were born, a chart can be cast. It's a photograph of the sky at that instant, and it speaks about the cycle beginning there: from one birthday to the next.

That chart shows which themes take on weight during the year. Relationships, work, home, the changes on their way, what will take effort and what opens up without being asked.

Your report also covers your most important transits: how the planets in the sky right now relate to your birth chart, and which areas of your life are being activated. The two together are what give you the full picture.

In astrology, the new year doesn't arrive in January. It arrives with you.

What your year talks about

These are the themes the year's chart points at. They don't all carry the same weight every year — part of what's interesting is seeing which ones light up in yours.

Relationships

How your bonds move this year: the ones that settle, the ones asking for an overdue conversation, and the ones that turn up new.

Work and projects

Where the professional focus lands, which projects want pushing, and when in the year it's worth making a move.

Home and family

Moves, changes at home, your relationship with your roots and with the people you look after. Sometimes the whole year plays out here.

Change and fresh starts

What opens and what closes. The doors that appear unasked, and the ones you've been pushing at for a while.

Challenges

What will take effort, said without drama. Knowing where the year's work is is half of having done it.

Opportunities

The stretches of the year when things move with less friction, and which area is worth spending them on.

Which of those themes carry weight in your year, and which barely show up, depends on your chart and nobody else's. Here is what you get.

How it works

  1. 1

    You pay once. A link arrives in your inbox to get in; if you already have an account, you're straight through.

  2. 2

    You pick the chart, the year you want to read and the city you'll be living it in.

  3. 3

    We write it. It takes a couple of minutes, and we email you when it's ready.

What it isn't

It isn't a closed prediction of what will happen. There's nothing to fear and nothing is written.

It's a tool for understanding what your year is about: which energies you may meet, where your focus may land, and which decisions you get to make with more information.

It doesn't replace an astrologer either. It's built on one's judgement, and it goes far beyond an automatic horoscope, but a consultation is a different thing.

Questions people ask

Do I need to know my birth time?

Yes, as precisely as you can. A Solar Return is cast from your birth chart, and the time is what sets the houses: without it, the year's map loses exactly the part that says where things happen.

Why do you ask where I'll be living that year?

Because it changes the chart. A Solar Return is cast for the place you'll be during the year, not the place you were born. Move, and the map is different — which is one of the things that makes it interesting.

Can I read a year that has already started?

Yes. You can pick the year you're living or the one coming. Plenty of people read the one already underway, precisely to understand what they've been feeling for months.

How long does it take?

A couple of minutes. You can close the page: we email you the moment it's ready, and it waits in your account.

What if I buy it before I know which year I want?

That's fine. The purchase leaves a report waiting in your account and it doesn't expire. Use it the day you're sure.

Is this the same as a birth chart?

No. Your birth chart is your permanent map: who you are and where you come from. A Solar Return is the map of one particular year. They read better together, and you can generate the birth chart for free.

What is your next year about?

Your birthday is a good moment to stop and look at the sky. What's moving, where the change may be, what's asking for attention. It's all there.
