Hi gang!
I was wondering can someone take a look at my Solar Return chart, and tell me what I can expect this year. Things have been a little tough, but I am looking forward to the future! Especially concerning my creativity, and my love life..if that's what you want to call it
This would be a wonderful early birthday gift guys! All comments are welcome!

Hi Pisces Kitty,
I'm still not sure how I feel about the Hellenistic techniques I recently learned, but I will put this out there and we can see how it develops over the year.
You are entering into an 11th house profection year, with Leo on the cusp of your 11th house, so the focus will be on 11th house matters and we want to watch the ruler and any transiting planets through Leo...meaning that the planets to watch for most of the year are the Sun and transiting Saturn. I would also watch Jupiter as the classical ruler of your Sun, which is loosely conjoining the Moon at your solar return.
In August, though, you want to watch all the planets in Leo transiting your 11th house, including retrograde Venus. You don't have Venus retrograde natally, but Venus is a prominent player as ruler of your ascendant and in her exaltation so close to your Sun, and also if your solar return chart is overlayed as a transit chart to your natal chart, transiting Venus falls less than 2 degrees from your descendant and is part of a grand trine with Saturn and Jupiter.
You might want to look back at other Venus retrograde times to see if her retrogrades affect you more than usual:
Venus retrograde stations:
July 30, 1999 05 Vir 55; direct: September 11, 1999 18 Leo 55
March 9, 2001 17 Aries 41; direct: April 20, 2001 01 Aries 31
October 10, 2002 15 Sco 36; direct: Nov 21, 2002 00 Sco 13
May 17, 2004 25 Gem 55; direct: June 29, 2004 09 Gem 51
December 24, 2005 01 Aq 17; direct: February 3, 2006 16 Cap 04
and this year it will be
July 28, 2007 02 Vir 57; direct: September 9, 2007 16 Leo 35
The 11th is the house of friendships, groups, hopes and dreams and is aligned with spiritual matters. It is also said to be the joy of Jupiter, Jupiter being productive of belongings, religion and spiritual matters in general. Valens and other astrologers of the time called this the place of acquisition because it is said to be one indicator of how one makes a living. It is natural that if you put something out into the world, that eventually there will be a return and this is that place (perhaps because from the others perspective (the 7th) this place is the 5th and related to expenditure, and investment, but instead of the investment going out, it is an investment back into you). It is not simply financial return, but it is the sum total of the world's reaction to your efforts. If it is a performance (Leo), then what is gained in return is applause from the crowds (Aquarius).
With Saturn transiting through Leo for most of the year, perhaps you will have the discipline and structure necessary to really create your dreams.
I hope it's a wonderful year for you!
