Solar return with critical degrees

[layaly]

Hi all,

I've been studying astrology for many years but I've never experienced critical degrees in a SR chart. My 2010/2011 SR chart has 4 planets in critical degrees, 3 of them are conjunct each other.
Attached is my SR chart for 2010/2011 where the Moon, Jupiter, Uranus can be seen in a tight conjunction in the ninth house, conjunct the MC, all in critical degrees (0, 29). There is also Mars in the second house in a critical degree. Has anyone ever experienced critical degrees in a SR chart? As far as I've read, they show eventful and important years but I'm a bit worried. The problem is I want to emigrate this year, I even have a possible job offer which if it happens it's going to be after my SR takes place in June. I am very worried at what the stellium in the ninth house, all in critical degrees, will mean related to my career?
I appreciate any thoughts on this issue .

I see nobody has any insight on critical degrees .
So I'll make a prediction for myself and I'll tell you after one year if it really happened :
I will get a job abroad, I will accept it and leave my natal country. The job will be much better than the current one.
Something extraordinary (good or bad) will happen abroad because of the stellium in critical degrees in the ninth house. In a way or another I will come a lot before the public. Some hidden matters may come to the surface in the year to come.

Here are some links I found about critical degrees. I have Mercury in Virgo 29 degrees....yes where saturn is right now. Blech. lol. And I think it's one of the great strengths within my chart besides my Venus in Cancer in my 5th house in her joy.

Anyway back to the links including an old one from here.

Well if you are looking to relocate, I would have expected to see moon and/or other planets in 9th house

Solar returns
All solar returns are about ‘potential’ as is the natal chart, but we don’t always fulfil our potential, whether it’s due to ‘other people or unforeseen circumstances’ or a choice of two things and maybe possibly making different choices meant you didn’t fulfil that potential in this Solar return.

This is why you have had very few responses. It's ultra important to see a bi wheel with natal and SR as wherever SR Asc falls in your natal chart is the main emphasis ie: house for the new year --

I don't read SR's as stand alone cos you can get far more information from bi wheel, it can give a natal planet an opening or expression by conjuncting SR Asc or MC for example and any SR planets conj natal planets are important to.

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

So, Uranus conj MC can suggest a sudden break in work/career, uranus conj moon suggests a break with mother, women and poss relationships/friendships. Jupiter domicile and accidentially dignified in 9th house naturally ruled by Jupiter, the planet of long distance travel

Saturn opp uranus/moon suggests doing something unsual in a structured organised way. Saturn opp moon short of money and financial hardships -- which I suppose is expected for any major move like this

Pluto in 6th work transformed, square to moon intense emotional experiences connected to 6th & 9th house matters

My advices, don't be a slave to astrology and live your life always with high expectations and belief in yourself

Lastly, for something 'major' to happen, it should also be reflected in your transits, progressions and possibly solar arcs. So don't ignore these methods in favour of JUST solar returns

The 0 degree in Cardinal sign is often a need to consult a professional. It implies events outside oneself or larger than self. With Moon, ruler of first, Uranus, ruler of 8th and jupiter on the cusp of the next sign all in the 9th this implies consultation with others related to resources, insurance funds for legal matters, education, travel abroad.
Moon implies change, mothers, females, wives ..Uranus is sudden disruption, sudden events and jupiter is expansion.

Aries is independence, assertion, aggression.

Jupiter rules the 6th of daily routine coworkers and health. In Pisces =feet, lymph etc also compassion, confusion, indecision and rules 12th house issues. Jupiter in the 29th may imply change from confinement to freedom and being on the cusp of this.

It is in trine to venus in the 12th. Often this can imply a loved one confined too as well as relationships in general on hold.

I too have a solar return with Uranus and jupiter at the 0 degree in Aries. It also occupies the 9th. It also trines venus 29 degrees in the 12th and squares pluto as will a lot solar returns for folks this year. Right now I have legal issues going on with my daughter in connection to school, my mothers house we are trying to sell, a son who is turning 18 and issues connected to child support upcoming, and a relationship that is struggling to mend or whatever it is doing...

You have have this very personal note of the moon in there which implies a more instinctive response and personal note.

It is also a good idea to check on the natal relationships of these planets. If they are in positve relationships the chances of events flowing more easily are improved. Challenging aspects would imply more struggles but a chance to overcome tension inherent in your chart. Does your moon, jupiter and uranus aspect in your natal chart?

Hi, thanks for your answer. Actually, the Moon, Uranus and Jupiter are all in the ninth house conjunct the MC.
I always study the SR in comparison to the natal, I did not post it here because my question was mainly on the critical degrees found in the SR and not on the interpretation of the SR. I have had a few years when I had planets in critical degrees in the SR chart and were always very powerful years regarding the houses where those planets were found, however never had a stellium. Was just curious if someone ever had something similar in a SR chart.

[layaly]

Thanks for the reply. Jupiter and Uranus only make a sextile in my natal.
This SR chart is similar to the natal - regarding house cusps, so I expect it to an eventful year. Some unexpected things happened lately and I think the stellium in the ninth may be related to some other issues connected to the ninth - publishing. Anyway, I will keep posted on what will happen.

[layaly]

in my transits there's a lot going on regarding career, both Jupiter and Uranus are conjunct natal MC and are transiting my tenth house. progressed Moon is in my natal sixth conjunct Uranus. I expect some changes regarding to my work/career, I just hope they are good.
