Something you could try is to weigh the solar return against other timing techniques, the more reinforcement of similar themes across the different methods may result in a higher intensity/frequency of that type of event occuring for you in the year.
Apart from progressions and solar returns (and transits of course), you have many timing techniques out there. Some are firdaria, ages of man, circumambulation through the bounds, directions and zodiacal releasing from the lots of spirit and fortune.
I'll use an example from my own life to illustrate what I'm talking about.
My current Solar return (beginning on November 28, 2019) has a full 2nd house - Sun, Moon and Jupiter in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is both on the 2nd house cusp and is the 2nd sign.
Prior to this SR, other timing techniques indicated focus on the 2nd house. Earlier in the year, in the progressed chart was a new moon on the 29th degree of Sagittarius (natal 1st house, cusp of 2nd sign although not yet in the new sign). This P. New Moon will mark a 28 year period. Shortly thereafter, Moon progressed into Capricorn, the 2nd sign natally. Moon will remain in this sign for another 2 1/2 years. By Mid-September the progressed Sun also entered Capricorn and will remain in this sign for another 30 years. Progressed Jupiter is currently at 27 Sagittarius, so in a few years time it will also be entering Capricorn.
Thus far we are seeing a lot of emphasis on the 2nd house, so we can expect immense activity in regards to the signification of that house for the time periods outlined, but is there more testimonies that speak to this area of life's prominence?
You may or may not be aware of zodiacal releasing. I'll provide a link that gives a general overview of the timing the technique.

In the example I will be looking at zodiacal releasing from the lot of spirit. This lot is in regard to actions one takes in the world, including professional output. In zodiacal releasing, there are four levels which correspond to years, months, weeks and days. The years allotted to each sign is based on the minor years of the traditional 7 planets. In level 1 (years) and level 2 (months). These years are not subdivided as they are in the rest of years. Currently in level 1 I am in a Sagittarius period, which will last for 12 years. As of July 25, 2019 I entered into a Capricorn period in level 2 (this will last for 27 months). Capricorn and the 2nd house emphasized again.
Not so funnily enough, transits are also emphasizing Capricorn as Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are currently in the natal 2nd sign. Jupiter and Saturn will eventually perfect a "grand conjunction" in the sign which will begin a cycle of 20 years.
Solar return of 2020 will see Capricorn rising, with Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto at the ascendant. Based on the timing techniques covered, this will merely be a continuation of events that have originated from a earlier time. This year will also be a 2nd year profection, doubly emphasizing the planets transiting Capricorn.
Is it safe to say that the events of the 2nd house will be heavy, prominent and intense for the year? I would say sure.
Today the transiting Sun has just ingresses to Capricorn, which is within a degree of MC ruler Venus and exactly conjunct progressed Sun. Today I have plans that are of a particularly 2nd house nature, that if executed will set the tone for what transpires henceforth. What I do today is in service to the greater cycles going on in my life.
Going back to your question, see what else is happening in your chart using other techniques, and if you see some heavy duty patterns emerging then you can be confident that you are approaching a significant period of your life, in the sphere of life being emphasized.
