The more planets there are in angular houses (1st, 4th, 7th and 10th) the more important the SOLAR RETURN is likely to be this year.
1. The orbs are smaller than in the natal chart:
a. Allow 8Ε for the Sun and Moon conjunctions and oppositions...APPLYING ASPECTS.
b. Allow 6Ε for the other planets...APPLYING ASPECTS..conjunctions and oppositions.
c. A separating aspect generally indicates something that happened before the date of the SOLAR RETURN, so it does not effect the current SOLAR RETURN too much.
d. The closer the aspect the more tangible and evident are its effects.
2. Interpret aspects formed in the SOLAR RETURN the same way you interpret aspects in the natal chart. Conjunctions are especially strong during the year. You will find that there are usually very few formed; usually only three or less and at times there are none.
3. INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CONJUNCTS
1. SUN CONJUNCT MOON - A very fortunate force. If the same conjunct is in the natal chart, the event this conjunction shows will totally modify your destiny. If you do not have this conjunction natally, it shows an important event during the year. The interpretation of the SIGN is very important here.
2. SUN CONJUNCT MARS - Shows violence or brutality by you or that you will suffer. If at the ASC or MC, you commit the violence. If Mars and the Sun are in poor aspect in the natal or if the SOLAR ASC is in Scorpio, can bring fights or wounds, jealousy, anger, or hate ending in violence. Often seen in years of separation or divorce or suicide attempts. If this conjunction falls in the sixth or twelfth house, may bring surgery.
3. SUN CONJUNCT JUPITER - Increases ambition and sexual interest. If this conjunction is afflicted by Mars (either or both planets in the conjunction) it is poor for health bringing circulatory troubles, abscesses, blood poisoning, phlegm, etc. Brings excesses during the year. If on the ASC, this conjunction brings a false, temporary, euphoria.
4. SUN CONJUNCT SATURN - Brings a year of worry and isolation; maybe a separation from husband, father, or son, and worries over them. It does NOT effect the health unless this conjunction is in the sixth or twelfth house or if the Sun or Saturn rules EITHER the sixth or twelfth. That is, the sixth or twelfth have Leo, Capricorn, or Aquarius on the cusp. It is very restrictive, delays good things and brings unhappiness. It is fortunate only if the NATAL ASC is in Capricorn and if Saturn and the Sun IN THE NATAL do not have one unfavorable aspect. In this case it brings advancement, improvement, beneficial change in plans, and has a long and fortunate influence on your destiny.
5. SUN CONJUNCT URANUS - Brings a sudden, profound reversal in life according to the house it is in. If the annual ASC is in Leo, you cause it. If the Sun and Uranus are in favorable aspect in the NATAL chart and are well aspected in the SOLAR RETURN, it brings an unexpected good opportunity. Otherwise it is a bad conjunction and if the Natal Sun is square or opposite Uranus it makes things worse in the house where this conjunction falls.
6. SUN CONJUNCT NEPTUNE - Brings regression in the house matters where the conjunction falls. General confusion which causes fears or brings hopes which encounter fears, and obstacles.
7. SUN CONJUNCT PLUTO - Can bring success which exceeds all expectations. You tend to be practical and need to expend yourself this year.
8. MOON CONJUNCT MERCURY - Brings travel, verbal expression, advancement for politicians, salesmen and
writers. In poor aspect brings conflict between feelings and interests. NOTE: If in the SOLAR RETURN these two planets oppose each other on the ASC-DSC, it brings a conflict between desire and the necessities of daily life. If they oppose each other on the MC- IC, it brings clashes between professional obligation and family life.
9. MOON CONJUNCT VENUS - Lucky. Makes you lascivious, sexual, indulgent. Brings pregnancy and birth. Effects personal life, not professional life.
