Planets conjunct SR AC, intercepted houses

[Starbridge]

Hi. My first post.

I've been studying my solar return chart and am having trouble integrating what the "parts" of it signify. Any help with identifying/clarifying prominent themes and issues would be much appreciated. Here goes!



2009 Solar return Chart.gif

SR Asc./Dsc.: Natal first and seventh houses are reversed, which I understand portends a difficult year of mutual "self-other" perception issues. Four planets plus Chiron in the SR 1H point to personal transformation?

Seven planets plus Chiron in western hemisphere mean I will be in control of this personal transformation, and seven planets plus Chiron below horizon mean that this-self transformation is inwardly motivated. (Yet also dependent on external interactions, with gregarious Leo on SR Dsc.). Planets below the horizon are all in the first quadrant: navel-gazing? Maybe not, with Mars (action)in Aries in SR 1H?

Personality will be expressed with (volatile, unique, rebellious, detatched) Aquarius rising energies with humanitarian service indicated also by Chiron conj. SR Asc. I note that Sun in SR 2H (self, values) trines Pluto in Capricorn in SR 11H (serious, focused lessons to be learned and crucial transformation regarding social groups, hopes and dreams/ambitions.)

Visually (tempermentally?), I think I've got a "wheelbarrow" configuration going on -- Pluto in SR 11H and Saturn in Virgo (intercepted) in SR 7H Leo both trine Sun in Taurus in SR 2H. The "vee" looks like wheelbarrow handles. Do Pluto and Saturn serve as "wheelbarrow handles" driving the Sun,the SR chart? Do the hard aspects (SR Uranus, Mars and Venus each squaring Pluto, and SR Moon squaring intercepted Saturn), result in teetery-tottery wheelbarrow overload? Or will the Sun trines to Pluto and Saturn ameliorate any wheelbarrow overload?

(Or is it just a bucket! If so,then Saturn in SR 7H becomes the focus . . .)

Stelliums, planets on angles: Looks like two separate stelliums? Chiron exactly conjuncts SR AC ("... where you can no longer go on as you did before.. ."-- Celeste Teal?) and this fits exactly where I'm "at", psychically speaking. I think I'm glad to see Jupiter in 12H Aquarius (protection, luck, expansion) conjuncting the SR AC along with Chiron, but Jupiter placed in the 12H (self-undoing, karmaic baggage) worries me, as does Neptune (illusion, self-deception) conjunct SR AC, especially since Neptune is Ruler of Pisces, which is intercepted in 1H. The SR Asc. Ruler Uranus is in its Dignity in SR 1H Aquarius, however here Uranus is placed in intercepted Pisces. So SR Uranus will have difficulty expressing itself. I think Uranus issues might be particularly resonant here because natal Uranus conjuncts my natal Leo Asc . . .)

At the end of this large first house I have Venus conj. Mars with Venus placed at 0 degrees (Aries Point -- yowee!) A scorching affair? No thank you. But planets in Fifth house would be involved, no?

Mars in 1H means action/energy, but Mars in Aries can mean angry confrontations, meltdowns. Thanks to menopause, I'm already in the thick of mood-swings.

I'm relieved to see no t-squares in the solar chart, just that danged Saturn-Uranus opposition grinding along, both planets in intercepted houses . . . ! (?)

(The plenitude of my questions is exceeded only by the depth of my confusion.)

So, I'll stop after attempting an interpretation of the Moon: Moon in Gemini in SR 3H, joined there by Mercury in Taurus. Moon in multi-tasking Gemini indicates an emotional need to communicate and bingo, third house rules communications. Third house concerns are also siblings and neighbors, but with Mercury in practical, determined Taurus, I take this to mean tangible communication? Written/spoken communication (my previous career)?

With brain turning to mush, I submit this post and pray, pray, pray that the computer fairies (haha) will allow my SR chart image to appear.

Thank you.

Firstly, its a bucket chart hon with Saturn as handle...

Uranus n late 1st, venus and mars are in 2nd house (Equal house) so earning your own money will be important, but with Uranus in late 1st may suggest disruptions,upheavals cos its conj 2nd house cusp

What you are calling the Western hemisphere is actually east, cos its reversed in Astrology luv....

Jupiter conj Asc may suggest travel, expansion of spiritual matters (12th house)

What you dont seem to have explained or posted is your natal chart. Its where the SR ascendant falls in your natal chart that is important and the focus for next 12months....

Are any natal planets touching any angles in SR??

"So SR Uranus will have difficulty expressing itself. I think Uranus issues might be particularly resonant here because natal Uranus conjuncts my natal Leo Asc . . .)"

Angles reversed suggests hard year
Moon and mercury in 4th house, moon=restlessness and communications with family members, home roots etc.

Natal chart ruler Sun in 3rd house, plus this SR it rules Desc
So Uranus being SR ruler placed in last 1st opp Saturn in 7th Freedom v convention. So your partner, mate or significant other may be involved in how your earn your money. Saturn in 7th may delay romance, partnerships

So depending on what degree Leo rising you sun could be 4th or 5th house?

Neptune conj Asc may suggest bit more dreaminess, rose tinted glass or confusion, perhaps overidealising things

Your chart this years lacks elelment of water, but cos dont know what you have natally its hard to judge whether this will affect you. Perhaps less emotional and more logical, air Aquarius then...

Sag MC suggest possible, learning, teaching, travelling, philosophies, but ruler Jupiter in 12th conj Asc may suggest inner travel, meditations, etc

Thank you, Astrologer50.

Oops about the east/west hemisphere -- I always do that (someone's right hand is my . . . left?). I have a fried brain hemisphere connection somewhere, I know it!

Here's my natal chart. Hope Natal/SR bi-wheel format is okay. Natal AC is 18 degrees Leo 01', falling in my SR 6H Leo (daily work/routine, health).

I could write scads in response to your interpretations, but this reply box provides limited space in comparison to the generous amount provided when I posted initially? SR 4H issues especially, with estranged elderly parents moed far away and divorcing brother-in-law's children possibly coming to stay this summer . . . and I am preoccupied with a need to return, and contribute to, the world outside the home. -- Sincerely, Starbridge

7th house rising implies relationship focus.
Ruler in the first conjoined with venus and mars re-emphasizes this theme and indicates suddenness or unexpected events.
Sun in 2nd increases ego focus on finances. With Pluto and saturn trining the sun indicates transformation and consolidation or constriction.
Sun rules the 7th increasing once more this concept of partnerships as a focus.
Jupiter on the ascendant is protective and in addition solar north node is conjunct natal jupiter increasing its affect.
Neptune on the first is a concern but it is not as active as other planets not being with in 3 degrees of aspect to a natal as I see it.
Natal moon in the solar 7th increases emotional focus on relationships.

It has helped me to analyze this last years return so that I can begin to see how the solar 'speaks to me'.
You did a great job of initial interpretation...great!
I find if I keep it in order focusing in order on 1natal rising house,
2. look at the house indicated (rising natal 7th increases focus on solar 7th and 1st) and the location of its rulers and planets in those houses.
3.location of sun
4. location of moon natal and solar

Thank you, Cassandra, especially for the encouraging words re my first-ever stab at interpretation.

1H/7H Partnership focus: Don't want to start wasting energy being fearful about my happy marriage, or anything happening to my husband, but I humbly submit, que sera, sera . . . Is there any way to identify whether the upcoming year's 7H concerns might indicate the public (also a 7H concern) instead? That's rather where my personal transformation "hopes and dreams" lie. I thought Pluto in SR 11H Gemini trining Sun might reinforce that . . . However, I refuse to interpret this chart to my own liking -- get thee behind me, Neptune!

Thanks again.

working with public is 10th house/MC thing not 7th...
Pluto in 11th is a bit of Loner. Not lonely ‑ but aware you are alone. Very few intimate friends. Friends will bend your ear ‑ because they know you are good at keeping secrets. Lost friends through death! Won't ask favours from friends

Sun trine saturn, trine pluto in 3rd house of communications suggests easy structured energies

Remember Solars are really only a supplimental and you need to check solar arc, progression then your transits. Look for a pattern in planetary energy or house activation to see if there are any major shifts.
Too, look for repeating planetary aspects...ie your natal sun squares saturn and we see a repeat of the natal in the solar accept it is sun trine saturn.
From what I have read this increases its strength for you and the natal square will lesson the positive note of the solar trine. I have not verified that from my personal research just this is what I have read.

Astrologer50, Cassandra,

Got it. Hard year, 7H issues, partnerships (marriage.) Will explore further.

Thank you for your help.
