I am trying to figure out where to be on my Solar Return, and I think I may have been doing it wrong. I never before compared the SR to my natal, and I'm trying to figure out how to do it.
For instance, before I'd draw up a chart for my SR, and look at it by itself, and try to manipulate the chart to achieve things I wanted, such as trying to get jupiter in the 2nd house, preferably trining the midheaven. I noticed I had a good financial year in 2007, when I travelled to Seattle in 2006, which put Jupiter in the first house.
However now I'm trying to figure out if I'm supposed to combine the charts and judge it by that. What I mean is, ok, the solar return for my birthday by itself has Jupiter at 22 degrees in 5th house. if I combine my natal with this, then Jupiter at 22 degrees is in my natal chart in the second house. I had been considering travelling to get my SR to have jupiter in the 2nd, which means going to the south of france. but as I said, what I'm noticing is that if I look at the position of the planets for my SR as they would be in my natal, Jupiter is already there.
Which is more important? The solar return, as a snapshot of that exact moment my sun returns, by itself, or looking at the solar return in terms of where the planets will be in my natal? I hope I'm being clear...
I really could use a year with jupiter in a money house, I'm half ready to do what it takes to make money for a trip to france so that My SR will have both Jupiter & Part of fortune in the 2nd. I am just not sure what to give precedence, the SR chart by itself, or combined with my natal.
Help!
