Do you build it for your birth place or for a place where you are at the time of SR?
If you favor a certain way, please say why so.

There is a feature on the astro.com in blue letters 'modify reference place" and it is specifically for such things things that look at relocation such as solars. I am not sure what else you use them for though I do believe some folks relocate charts for progressions. I am not sure about solar arc.
iwonder said:Thank you, all. I guess it makes more sense to make SR for the place where I am going to spend the year.
But what if I visit a place where I was born/grew up - does SR made for that location kick in once I am there?
My SR for my present location looks good for all I can tell, but for my birth place it reverses AC/DC (SR AC is in 6th natal house, conjunct DC), SR major activity is in SR 6th (natal 9th) house, with a yod involving both natal and SR planets pointing there. I understand it may signal a difficult year so I wonder if 6th house matters will suddenly stir up once I am home (or rather the place that was home before).

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.
