My solar return - showing job focus - hopefully?!?

[Tanya00]

This last year had to be one of the most challenging and transformative of my 25 years.

With that being said, I'm looking ahead to my 09/10 to see if this next solar year, coming up, will be a more "just get things done" one for me. Especially in the job sector. Just wanted to point out some of the "main" points.
If anyone has the time, confirmations and/or corrections of my interpretations would be very much appreciated :)

-SR Ascendant Leo in the 1st house: More energy. A year of activity. Seems as though I will be "coming out of my shell" more. As well as focusing on my needs more (a VERY welcomed change :) ) But with more energy, brings more impatience, eagerness, and aggressiveness which I also see too ( Sun squaring Mars)
-SR MC Aries in the 10th house!: New business, or some sort of change in job.(Woo-hoo!)
-SR Ascendant in the 5th house: Oy! Just when I thought I could take a break from the whole "love" thing for a moment :tongue: ....but the conjunction, I think, indicates I will take a more "light hearted" approach to interactions with men -no? ( since this is in the 5th and not in the 7th)....BUT because of Pluto in my 5th, it looks like I will meet someone that produces someone of an intense or passionate situation.
-Jupiter and Neptune in the 7th house- Expansion in relationships, yet the strong possibility of deception. So, I definitely should be proceeding with caution in that aspect.
-Uranus in the 8th - Esshh. A little worried about that one :unsure: I guess I should be prepared for "the worst" or losses...
Notable Aspects:
-Moon Trine Pluto - Intense emotions will come about this year, but because of the trine ( I think) it will be mostly for the positive.
-Moon Conjunct Medium Coeli - more public or people interaction? (with job?)

And just out of pure curiosity and drew up a 10/11 solar, (which might be premature or wrong to do in the astro world so far ahead? I'm a bit new to predictive readings) but if not, much to my surprise -
SR Ascendant Libra, SR Ascendant in house 7 natal : Strong possibility of a close partnership and/or marriage?!? Hmm... interesting!:tongue:

need to see natal and/or bi wheel from astro, they do have two options, pick the second 'with houses'

Well done for having a go, it would also have been helpful to describe your expectations and dreams for the forthcoming year too.

We have to know which house your SR Asc falls as this will highlight your years focus

The house in which the Sun falls in the SR chart is the birthday month's forecast and influence, and each house after is the following month, since the Sun transits at the rate of one sign or house per month. Each house is treated as events in that month, and the sign and planet ruling the cusp influences the outlook for that month. The chart is used like a clock, with 12 months on its face instead of 12 hours. As the Sun conjoins or aspects other planets in the SR, it will generate events

I do have lots of info on SR which is not appropriate to post nor can I remember the original author.....approx 25 in Word if anyone wants to send me PM with thier email address.

When you start the reading of a solar return chart first establish what natal house is rising and this tells you the emphasis for the year.
In your 2009/10 year it appears you have your natal 5th house rising which shows an emphasis on romance, creativity and children.
I usually go to the 5/11 house next to see what kind of story it tells.
I see Leo is rising so that increases the emphasis of the suns placement and its aspects.
With the ruler of the 10th in the first house this does show a lot of energy and ego interest in work. The moon in the 10t house is an indicator of 'coming into public view'. It warns of being noticed and watch your 'p's and q's" :) The moon also implies change or fluctuation and often times female influence. With the moon being the most prominent in the chart this puts heavy emphasis on change in work.
Moon square mars might indicate some 'squabbling' or internal struggles. Need to contain any public arguments as others will be watching.
A full moon on a solar return implies a completion of something or something coming to an end sometimes this is good sometimes not so good.
Interesting chart.
So here is the steps:
1. 5th house rising. What rules the 5 house and what is in the 5th house and where is the 5th house ruler. Look at the opposite house too as this axis is now active.

I need to ask ...did you use your birth place for the solar return? or your actual current location. This will make a difference. I tend to try to white out my current location just for safety sake. But for solar returns it is best to use your current living situation for more accurate picture.
As an example, I do not live too far from my birth place but the difference in charts put the sun more clearly on a house cusp increasing the focus and understanding of the chart.
Too a precessed chart is always good to have. Some astrologers feel it is important to have both and compare. I am coming to that point that I tend to agree from my own observations.
Both the moon and sun are under attack by mars in the first house. This puts your personal and physical self in some risk. I would be careful this year again with altercations, aggressive action, impulsive activity and with merc so close to the sun ruler of 3rd house as well as 11th this might imply again arguments or short journeys.
Transit wise your first house natal ruler has been under attack in your 6th house by saturn which tends to bring your energy way down. Saturn with mars tends toward suppression. It will also square your natal neptune which will tend toward mistakes due to dreaminess or not paying attention. Uranus has been opposite your natal 1st house ruler rolling through y our 12 house again a warning for abrupt changes and affecting physical self.
2. The sun aspects tell us something too and I look for repeat aspects. I don't see a whole lot there accept mercury and sun are together again. This repeat energy is sort of your natural energy coming out again .
3. I do see a repeat aspect of neptune (your 9th house ruler) and venus. Natally they square so a trine implies an opportunity for you to work through this energy in a more postive way. Note that your natal struggle with it will keep trying to manifest so a trine there does not imply a postive outcome but an opportunity for you to change something.
Check your solar arcs and progressions. This will help.
With the sun and moon on angles you should be noticing some changes and energy right off the bat.
Hope this helps.

sorry cassandra,
where did you get the natal 9th house from? Have just re read 1st post


-SR Ascendant in the 5th house: Oy! Just when I thought I could take a break from the whole "love" thing for a moment :tongue: ....but the conjunction, I think, indicates I will take a more "light hearted" approach to interactions with men -no? ( since this is in the 5th and not in the 7th)....BUT because of Pluto in my 5th, it looks like I will meet someone that produces someone of an intense or passionate situation.


:love:

Gadzooks, your right. I have no idea where I pulled that one from. I think I had left a tab open on another chart and kept pulling up the wrong one.
Drats!
Rewind.....that will just throw her way off. I will delete the post or edit it a great deal:)

[Tanya00]

That you for your inputs! I tried very hard in researching my solar - so to know that I'm on the right track in my interpretation is great!

I edited my first post and blurred out my locations - thank you for the advice Cassanra:smile:

Yes, my current location is the same city as my birthplace, so the charts should be accurate.
I've attached the natal w/solar return if this helps anyone further.

A little background for those wondering...
I'm very happy to know that a lot ( or at least more) energy will be put towards work for me. I had to relocate back to my hometown recently because of a job loss, so the I'm ready and willing to get that aspect of my life up and going again!:smile:
I am looking to get back into real estate. BUT ever since I have relocated, I have gotten extremely creative, and back into art ( which was just a hobby of mine since I was a child) and also interested in the entertainment business, as well as making friends (that have come into my life very randomly) in the entertainment business. - so it's very interesting my chart shows that focus on me becoming more creative.
The past couple of months I have felt as though I've been "stuck between a rock and a hard place" - so situations and/or friendships/relationships that might be/will come to an end, I'm definitely prepared and some cases anticipating. Out with the old - in with the new!

I just have to mindful of that darn Neptune as well as how I release my energy this year :joyful:

With this years SR emphasising 5th house matters, romance, creativity, hobbies. Your creative energy will be high and can be used to good effect. It is a time for developing your own special talents and for being authentic and true to yourself. What you do is likely to be appreciated by others and you may gain some sort of recognition.

This year your sense of identity will be strong and you will be able to concentrate your energy on your own personal needs. Your energy level and vitality should be high and you will be able to tackle life with vigour and determination. So with having Mars conj Asc suggests lots of energy square to sun in 4th connected and poss tension with family members and home roots.

Pluto in 5th house suggests power struggles or control issues. By understanding the psychological pressures, you can choose to conform to those which are positive experiences while refusing to conform to those which seriously jeopardise self‑identity. In very difficult situations, the inability to balance the conflict between expectations and self‑identity can result in more secretive behaviour. You may prefer to do things on the sly rather than weather the confrontation necessary for true ­self‑expres­sion.

Although sexual attractions and love affairs are not always seen with this placement, when they do occur the draw is tremendous and the allure of sexuality seems especially compelling

Whilst T Uranus is/has been opposing natal venus, this may draw an unusual or suddent relationship via work or daily routines. End August first week Sept T Saturn conj your venus for last time, quite often this does break things, but really Saturn is just 'testing what is of value to you' and if something is not working will end it so you can start afresh.

End Oct, Nov T Neptune will quincunx your natal venus hopefully for the last time, so watch out for dellusions, deceptions or just bit rose tinted glasses

Although SR moon is in 10th house and can suggest a new job other houses should be active to, such as 2nd and 6th which are not. So your fourth and 5th houses have more of an airing this year, and not so much focus on one to one relationships as is natally suggested.

Hope this helps:smile:
