Travel before or after birthday?

I'm wondering the same thing, as I will be travelling a little over a month before my birthday to a distant location(from San Francisco to Hawaii to be exact). I had posted about my solar return concerns on another thread about solar return Pluto being on my Ascendant for my current location opposing Sun on the 7th house side of the Descendant, for the San Francisco location.
Which is more accurate for reading solar returns, one's current location, or natal? Or where one will be travelling within a certain window of opportunity? Thanks1

All depends on whether the chart looks better in a relocated area.

Have you tried the astrocartography on astro.com, go to free horoscopes, then look to right. Astrocartography works and there is forum on AW that covers this and on astro.com on interactive, travel they offer astrocartography/world maps, which has its place and explains which planets rules lat and long where you relocate to and how this will affect you in this location. Do NOT do a relocated birth chart.

Have just realised where the confusion may be on astro.com to get a solar return for a new location, you have to find the option to use a relocated chart, which does mean changing location from where natally you were born to where you are living now. This is just so you can get a relocated solar return only.....

Relocated birth charts are more or less astrocartography, whereby all your natal planets are stretched out over the globe and uses lat and long to discover best place to live. Apparently relocated birth charts does something similar whereby especially over the Angles could bring a planet out of 12, 3 6 or 9th to become much more active
