- SR ascendant in Leo: In Leo, your urge to create is strong. There may be more
involvement with children or especially romantic inclinations. Your
physical
appearance and your manner become very important, especially since Leo
is on the
first house and it rules the "star" of the Solar Return chart--the Sun.
You may be more
dramatic and expressive this year, or this could point to a focus on
children,
hobbies, or other Leo-ruled areas of life, depending on your personal
inclinations as well as your life circumstances. I had Leo rising in my
Solar
Return charts in the years I had two of my children (both born with Leo
Ascendants), for example. Be sure to look to the house position of the
Sun for
areas of life where you have a strong opportunity to express yourself
and your
creativity.
This year you will be inclined to express yourself in a more intense and
dramatic way. Your authority will increase and you will try to impose
your
opinions on others and dominate each situation. There is a tendency to
call
attention to yourself and to exaggerate everything. In no way will you
be
unnoticed during this period and you will continually search for the
approval of
the public. Increased energy will impel you to undertake new activities
or to
work intensely on your projects, which could lead you to the brink of
exhaustion. In general, this will be a happy time and you will be in
good humor,
providing that no one opposes you; otherwise, you may respond in an
impatient
and sometimes aggressive manner. If by nature you are a timid person,
this year
will show a great change in your personality and you will fight, more
than
usual, to attain the place in life that you think you should have. But
if you
already are a person of strong character, you should remind yourself of
this
extra forcefulness you feel and avoid falling into situations where your
pride
and selfishness can get you into trouble.
Your creativity will be notable and it could manifest at all levels. If
you have
artistic abilities, this is the year to dedicate your time to them,
since you
will feel a great personal satisfaction in developing your talents. Your
personal magnetism is also accentuated during this period, bringing love
affairs, conquests and adventures. No doubt you will participate in
numerous
parties and amusements in general. You also could be attracted to games
of
chance and can expect a certain amount of luck. There is a possibility
of
receiving income from some speculative business too, where a certain
degree of
risk is involved. You will have high physical energy and will enjoy the
practice
of any sport.
Some people in your environment may feel the effect of your somewhat
domineering
approach but will not try to inhibit you. This year you will want to
start many
new projects. You will probably make them public before your next
birthday. To
avoid tension, you should try not to insist on having your own way with
projects
and endeavors that you are not directly involved in.
It will be a year of great activity. It is important that you maintain a
good
balance and that you alternate your activities with periods of rest. You
run the
risk of over-extending your efforts and arriving at a point of
exhaustion. If
you have any problems with your heart, you should be especially careful
this
year. However, in general, a serious illness is not likely due to your
strong
vitality, fortified by the Sun.
You will be guided more by your feelings than by reason during this time
and
therefore your romantic encounters are inclined to be less conventional
or less
durable. If you are in a committed relationship, it would be advisable
not to
try to dominate your partner as you will probably come on a little too
strong.
And this could cause a problem in the relationship. If you are single,
you will
encounter new situations, but they may not be long-lasting.
This is not a good year to resolve unsettled issues from the past or to
try to
get approval from the public as you may have in previous times as you
will tend
to be more demanding and revolutionary than normal and may alienate
others by
your forcefulness.
Solar Return Ascendant in natal 10th house
You will center all your attention toward the advancement of your
career. You
will direct your energies toward growth and expansion of your
professional
possibilities. Success will fundamentally depend on your effort and
personal
initiative.
During this year, you will want to make your dreams a reality and will
develop
definite objectives which will improve your future. Remember that
success or
failure of your enterprises will depend almost exclusively on your own
will.
Solar Return Sun trine or sextile Solar Return Moon
You will show more enthusiasm and vitality during this year. Your
thinking will
be very positive and you will want to take the initiative and make
decisions
that you have not considered before. Your confidence in yourself will be
recognized by others and you will receive support from your family and
friends
in general. It will be easy to carry out the changes that you propose
which will
benefit you in the future. You also could receive help from powerful or
very
influential women. Your popularity will increase and you will feel
comfortable
in your surroundings in spite of any difficulties that you encounter.
Your physical body will be very resistant to any type of illness. If you
have
some kind of on-going health problem at this time, it is probable that
it will
be successfully treated during this year. This is mainly due to the fact
that
you will find it easier to deal with your emotions, thereby putting less
stress
on your mind and body.
Solar Return Sun conjunct Solar Return Mercury (more than 3 degrees)
Your ideas will be on the right track this year. You will be able to
understand
situations better and put things in their proper place. Communication
will be
important to you and this influence will prompt you to keep your
correspondence
up to date and to stay in contact with your friends. You probably will
take one
or several short trips, especially if other astrological factors in this
report
indicate the same.
Solar Return Sun opposition or square Solar Return Mars
You will demonstrate more aggressiveness, rashness and lack of patience
during
this period. It will more difficult to control your anger when crossed
or
frustrated. Try to keep a lid on this so that you don't do or say
anything that
you will later regret. The practice of some type of sport or gymnastics
would be
very beneficial to maintain your balance. You will get bored with
routine,
especially if it is sedentary or slow. You could also be impatient with
people
who don't share your way of thinking or even those who just cross your
path.
This aspect could bring fights, confrontations, conflicts and ruptures
in
relationships in general. In your personal life, there could be jealousy
and the
possibility of some kind of scandal because of it. You will be the most
aggressive and intense in that area of your life represented by the
house your
Sun is in this year and in the house
occupied by Mars.
You also should be very cautious, because you could be prone to
accidents,
blows, falls, or burns. The main reason for that could be your impulsive
haste,
your lack of control over your reactions, and your excessive rashness.
When natal Mars
conjuncts the SR Ascendant, we would expect Mars issues to
come to
the fore. Generally, we would expect that this would be a
busy year.
We might expect confrontations with others, although since
Mars is
at the Ascendant rather than the Descendant, we would also
expect
some enterprise and independence.Solar Return Sun trine or sextile Solar Return Pluto
During this time you will feel the desire to investigate and study the
mysteries
of life in depth. You will be interested in the occult and also will
bring to
the surface memories or impressions of your past that affect your
present
conduct. It is a year of positive transformation and of freedom. All
changes
that begin now will enable you to live with more freedom in the future.
If you
were contemplating some type of therapy, it would be a good time to
start and
would be very beneficial. You will be attracted to any type of activity
that
tests your ability and level of energy. You will need to reaffirm and
rely on
your own strength, and during this year you will be willing to move
ahead.
You will express yourself with authority and strength in your
relationships with
others, causing a strong impact and making a very good impression. Due
to the
strength of your great inner convictions, you will more easily persuade
others
to adopt your ideas. Your authority will be notable and you could become
a
leader in the group that you are affiliated with.
This astrological influence brings concrete action and will solve many
aspects
of your life. Once you have made a decision, you will be devoted to
working
toward your goal. You will experience a transformation and renewal of
your life
in general.
(Oooh, SOLVING THINGS?!l)
Solar Return Sun conjunct Solar Return MC
Your ambitions and desire for progress will be accented. You will
concentrate
your energy on your work, search for a higher position, and fight to
achieve
your objectives with a strong will. This year your ego will dictate and
will be
expressed as never before. Your relationship with your superiors could
be
beneficial or detrimental to your progress. If your boss agrees with
your goals,
you will get all the support you need. But if he is not supportive of
your
ideas, you will face opposition and restriction. Try to use diplomacy
and tact
in dealing with this. This influence also favors your personal plans and
goals.
If you were to undertake an independent activity, it would work out very
well.
As a result of this year you will have a more impressive reputation. You
will be
more exposed to the public than usual. You may receive criticism or
opposition,
but it will only strengthen your position. Put all your energy into your
professional or work projects, and you will get the success and progress
that is
due you. This is a year of action and big achievements.
The Sun tightly conjunct the Midheaven
suggests it
would be a public year, so to speak. Remember that
"public" will mean different things for different
individuals. It does not necessarily mean one is elected to
office! Solar Return Moon in Virgo
This is a busy period in your life when you might work behind the
scenes. It
will be easier than most years to stick to a diet or health regime.
Keeping "on
top" of things in terms of staying organized is likely a focus. More
responsibilities than usual are likely.
Solar Return Moon in the 2nd House
Your emotions are strongly tied to what you have and don't have this
year--security derived from your income and possessions. Fear of lack
can be
behind many of your actions during this period. Fluctuations surrounding
money
may occur, but more likely you are more sensitive to them. Keeping
things status
quo is a tendency this year--too much change could frighten you now. In
general,
with the Moon in the "background" in your Solar Return chart, you tend
to have a
stronger hold on your emotions than usual.
If most planets are above the
horizon (with the possible exception of a heavy emphasis on the twelfth
house),
there is a focus on external events, public life, and social and
business
concerns.
Jupiter in the 8th House of SR, as well as in the 2nd
House, means surely a definite increased flow of money within the
native’s natural financial situation (i.e. a few millions for someone,
billions for some others). This flow may be incomes or outflows
depending upon inheritance you take possession of; donations; gambling
wins; endowments; pensions; severance pay; arrears; unexpected income;
good transactions; or brokerage; but it may also be gambling losses;
theft; huge expenses for your house; your partner’s debts; frauds you
are a victim of; bad stock speculations or bad speculations in general;
money that you lent and that will never be returned, and so on.
If you don’t pay attention, with this position you run the risk of
facing real drains of money. Sometimes the effect of this Jupiter may
be deceptive. For instance, it may help you obtain a loan, a subsidy, a
financing, and it helps you to be granted quite huge amounts too – but
you may not be able to refund this money later on, so that eventually
its presence in the 8th House may be adverse for you. This position of
Jupiter also indicates possible advantages from a death – not only
financial advantages.
You stand a fair chance in any kind of underground research – it
may also be a matter of digging into your own psyche. Your sexual life
gets better. The latter point is not subject to any two–faced
interpretation: it often tells you that a new love affair is arriving,
or that things are bound to settle down positively with your partner.
There may be a possible amplification of the native’s psychic powers and
likelihood of benefits that have something to do with cemeteries.
