2 Kaz Psychic United Kingdom L40 1UA / kaz@kazpsychic.co.uk ***** INTRODUCTION ***** The Solar Return is a chart calculated for the time that the Sun arrives at the exact position of the Sun in your natal chart. That happens once every year around your birthday, but at a different time each year. This chart is calculated for the time of the Sun's return this year and marks the principal events for the year from birthday to birthday. This report also gives the location of your Solar Return. From this, it can be determined that some places are more favorable than others. With the aid of more than one report you could analyze the changes that are produced in the Solar Return Reports, choosing from different locations where you would want to spend the day. This report essentially is divided into two parts. The first part analyzes the general external conditions of the year: opportunities and problems that could occur in different areas. For the benefit of students of astrology, the influence of the Ascendant and Midheaven of the return are described as well as that of the Sun and Moon. The second part analyzes the twelve astrological houses, marking specifically in what area of your life the various astral influences will be manifested, emphasizing your probable responses and inner changes. This section analyzes the position of the solar houses on the natal houses, the planetary conjunctions, and the location of the planets in the houses. You will be given a description of the most important matters derived from the placement of the planets in the houses, which are outlined in the text for each of them. In some cases you will find contradictions. A planet may be beneficial in a certain area, while others may indicate the opposite situation. This means that you could have two types of possible situations during the year. For example: a lover's quarrel and a following reconciliation. To get the most out of this report, it will be necessary to use your own logic and intuition, fitting the descriptions outlined here to your own particular case. The objective of this report is to offer you a practical guide that helps you to analyze this year's prospects and to learn from them using your free will. *** Astrological Data of Birth *** The birth chart is a map of the positions of the planets at the time and place of birth.

Solar Return Ascendant Capricorn :

4 During this year you will be more focused on your ambitions and goals. You will give more consideration to your financial situation. You will also be inclined to look seriously at the work you do. If you are not completely satisfied with it, you will start looking around for something you like better - one that gives you more responsibility and rewards for your efforts. This could be the year you get a promotion as your superior will see you as a more conscientious and productive employee. Thanks to your conscientious and continuous effort you can achieve everything that you set out to do, but don't expect it all to come easy. Saturn ruling this year forces you more than ever to face reality and your own limitations. If by nature you are not very practical or ambitious, you will have to try harder to make that impression on those in authority and to convince them that you do indeed deserve the respect you are seeking. On the other hand, if you are already hard-working and fairly ambitious, this could be your year to jump up the ladder. In either case, you will have the opportunity to change your life in some significant way. Maturing is the key for this year. You will feel your needs changing, and in spite of an inner resistance, a part of you wants to take on new responsibilities and forge ahead. You probably won't see the entire picture all at once, but it is probable that whatever you undertake now will bring you satisfaction for a long time to come. Now is the time to make the effort and to even sacrifice in order to realize your most important goals. You will probably not get a lot of help from others unless you are willing to do the work. Others will notice the dedication you are making. They will recognize that you are serious and respond to you in like fashion. This influence could bring some problems with your bones and joints. It would be a good time to have your teeth checked and also to pay more attention to the care of your skin, fingernails and hair. Be sure to eat foods that are rich in minerals. There is also a possibility that your new-found ambition could cause you to over-work and become run down, which could result in depression or frustration. During this period you could be so busy and absorbed with your ambitions that you tend to overlook your emotions. You may become more aloof and not have as much time for socializing. As a consequence, your friends and acquaintances may back away from you, not understanding your new attitude. It is important to allow adequate time for others and not get completely caught up in yourself and your projects. When this year is over, you would not want to find yourself alone. You might attract Cancer-type persons who could be most beneficial to you now as they may offer you understanding, protection, and support in your endeavors. This year does not leave much time for romance, love and adventure. You will be looking for people who can be your friend and understand the efforts you are making to improve your position in life and earn more money. Solar Return MC Scorpio: This year will bring a transformation of your objectives and goals. You will probably have several professional interests and you will be making plans for your future. This desire for change could be both conscious as well as subconscious. In general, this influence doesn't bring easy changes. On the contrary, there will be certain obstacles that will test your own strength of will and courage. But at the same time, you could receive favors and support from friends and associates, or the public in general.

5 If your usual work is related to medicine, chemistry, investigation, sciences in general, or to metaphysics, you will have a favorable year expanding your knowledge and your ability. In any event, you will encounter some different, strange and mysterious supernatural events. It is probable that your interest in these subjects will increase, and you could come in contact with people who share the same interests. During this year, you could be intensely concerned about your inner or spiritual growth. It could be a critical time when you will explore things you had never been interested in before. Subjects like dying, near-death experiences, life after life, past lives and other similar subjects will attract your attention. Your home will be more sound and stable now, and it will become your place of refuge and rest. If you live with other people, the only problem that you would have is that you won't find all the understanding that you need during this period. The people around you could be more conservative and traditional in their beliefs and interests. Don't expect them to always understand the changes that are taking place within you, because it is your internal and personal process. In general, this time could be somewhat more active than normally. Try not to act too impulsively as you pursue your new interests and take care not force your ideas on others who might not be interested. This way you will have a calmer and more positive year. Chapter 2: Astrological influence of your personality. Sun in 12th house: During this solar influence you will be more quiet and withdrawn. You will look for intimate encounters and retreat from hectic social schedules. If your attitude and your inner thoughts are harmonious, you can use periods of solitude to recharge your energies and to clear any doubts you have about yourself. But if you concentrate only on negativity and you retreat only because you feel depressed or broken-hearted, you will find that your problems grow larger and seem impossible to resolve. This influence forces you to confront the debts of your past, or your karmic debts, showing you the errors you have made that still need to be resolved. The positive and creative way to do this is to maintain a positive mental attitude in spite of all your adversaries, give yourself credit for the things that you have accomplished, accept responsibility for your own actions, and get involved in some activity that serves others. This influence could bring some loss or complications in business matters. Also, some friendships you counted on could come to an end, and the help that others get may not come your way. You are definitely being guided to become mature and to confront any issues or truths that you have denied, or wanted to avoid, heretofore. There also is a possibility of getting involved in some type of secret or clandestine business or an

6 activity that involves a degree of risk and even proves to be an unlawful act. Maintain your integrity and your common sense. What comes easy today could be your downfall tomorrow. It is also important to take care of your health. Don't hesitate to see a specialist if you have a serious problem. You may be hospitalized or restricted in some way in your daily activity. If you enjoy good health, make sure that you get proper rest and nourishment to avoid physical complications. You will be more sensitive than usual, which could cause you to magnify your problems, making them worse than they really are, especially if you don't have a strong, spiritual foundation that helps you see your difficulties merely as tests that strengthen you in your personal evolution. Meditation and going within will help you renew your faith and intuition. Sun conjunction Pluto: This astrological aspect will bring profound changes in your life. Hidden, repressed feelings and desires will come to the surface, causing a change in your personality. It is important that you accept these emotions and don't attempt to repress them again, because, if you do, you will only feel more anxious and tense. You will be more aggressive and impatient than at other times, and you will be working more from the subconscious level. This will be a year of transformation and profound changes for you and could bring you a wide range of new experiences. Under this influence, you will also be inclined to worry about repairing and fixing the things that don't work in your life, both at home and at work. You also may be concerned with replacing or repairing those things that don't give good service anymore or things that have already served their useful purpose, for example, your car, home furnishings, or clothing. You may experience tensions with people who attempt to control you or exercise authority in your life. You will be confronted with people of very strong character who think they know what is best for you but are not taking into consideration your needs or interests. Be careful not to react too aggressively in return. The negative side of this influence is that it could bring unsavory elements or risky, violent situations into your life. It would be wise to avoid parts of your city where robberies and violence are common. Sun conjunction Asc: You will have a lot of energy during this period and you should be quite healthy. If you do have a health problem, you will recover quite quickly. It is important to get a lot of fresh air and sunshine. You will be confident, grounded, and able to impress others with your authority at this time. People will respond to you favorably and you will be able to achieve your goals easily. You will express yourself with much frankness, and will expect the same from others. You will be very active and won't wait for others to act first. Your goal will be to express your true self. Unless there are very adverse aspects elsewhere in the chart this year, you will have a successful and satisfying year. However, if there are adverse influences, you will be determined to overcome them, because at this time you will feel very sure

7 of yourself. You will stand up for your natural right to be a leader. This influence is very positive, and it doesn't matter what your activity or your current situation is. You will progress and fulfill your goals to the end of this cycle. This success will mainly be due to the fact that you will allow no one to control your life or stand in your way. Sun sesquiquadrate Moon: Minor problems and conflicts in your home could alter the peace during this year. There is a possibility that problems from the past that haven't been resolved yet will resurface. You can't expect much support from your family in carrying out your plans. It also is possible that you will have moments of doubt and indecision. You will be less decisive and practical, and you will tend to be more influenced by your feelings and emotions. Sun semisquare Neptune: There is a possibility of developing an escapist attitude during this time. Take care that you don't try to relieve your tensions by acquiring a new bad habit and consequently become addicted to it. Your strength could weaken a little and it is important that you don't commit yourself to projects or tasks that are more than you can handle. Your sensitivity will also increase, and you can easily be disappointed, hurt, or victimized. Be aware of your own behavior in order to avoid being deceived or disillusioned by others. Sun quincunx Jupiter: You could become involved in projects or tasks that go beyond your ability and energy level. Try to be realistic and sensible. You could be overly optimistic, thereby unduly minimizing the very real obstacles and situations confronting you. You should also take care not to neglect any legal matters that need your attention. Doing so could bring losses, fines, or law suits. You also run the risk of being physically lazy, not paying much attention to your diet, which could cause weight gain or problems with the liver. Chapter 3: The emotional world. Solar Return Moon in Virgo : You will be self-contained and more reserved during this time. You will be very sensitive and receptive to any criticism or comments of others, especially those coming from women. It is important for you to keep your self-esteem high and to remain on solid ground during this time so that you don't become too critical of yourself. You will tend to be more analytical, paying more attention to details than

8 you usually do. You may tend to be more helpful and cooperative at this time, especially with people who appeal to you. In your professional life, you could possibly become dissatisfied with your job and think about finding another one. It would be wise to think seriously before you make any changes, because you will be acting from your emotions and may not make the wisest and most advantageous decision. You may notice that your memory is better and that you can concentrate better. You will have more interest in taking up some new study, especially in such subjects as nutrition or diet. You may be more quiet and reserved than is normal for you this year. Or you may find yourself being victimized in some way. This could lead to your getting some sort of psychosomatic disorder. Maintain a mentally positive attitude, express your emotions freely, and use this time to study, with your goal being to know yourself better and to improve yourself. Solar Return Moon in 7th house: This year will bring a change in your life. If you are not involved in a relationship, you will be inclined to find someone this year. If you are already in a good relationship, you will experience important changes in your daily routine. The kind of changes will be determined by aspects to the Moon, as described in the following paragraphs. This could be the year you commit yourself to a long-term relationship. You should be careful in the decisions you make because you will be inclined to sudden and capricious actions which could hurt your relationship in some way. Your life and actions could be more public this year. Guard against giving others a reason to gossip about you.. This astrological influence will bring both positive and negative responses from others. On the other hand, you will receive much support from the women in your life. Moon opposition Neptune: You could be more vulnerable to deception and deceit. You will be more emotional and sensitive than usual which will increase your susceptibility to the actions and emotions of others. You will not be able to see people as realistically as before which could result in your being hurt or disillusioned by those you trusted. It's important to be aware of this and be more cautious than usual when dealing with others, especially those who you don't know well. You will be particularly vulnerable with women. It would also be a good idea to postpone making final decisions or plans, if at all possible, until this period is over. You could also be more easily victimized now. There could be a state of confusion or mystery in your home. You could be the subject of gossip or malicious comments. Even those close to you could be the ones who betray or deceive you. Since you could be more gullible during this time, you should try to associate only with people you are confident you can trust. You will be working at a deeper, subconscious level and may find yourself recalling memories and traumas from your childhood which will add to the confusion you are already experiencing.

9 You should probably avoid activities such as consulting psychics or mediums for you could be unduly affected by them. You will be more sensitive to toxins from alcohol or food. If you already are using cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs, you may want to increase your consumption and it will be very difficult to control it. The best way to counteract this influence would be to give free expression to your creativity through some artistic or literary activity, and also to be extra cautious and perceptive in your personal relationships. Moon square Saturn: You could feel very lonely and depressed at times under this astrological cycle. Your social life will not be as active, and you may wish to be alone more often that usual. You might have the feeling that nobody loves you or cares about you. You may have negative thoughts and tend to see your problems and your life in general as being much darker than they really are. You should try to suppress this kind of thinking and maintain as much objectivity as possible. You could find yourself recalling former painful romantic situations from the past which have resulted in misunderstanding or separation. You could be unduly dwelling on perceived failures in love relationships which will need to be dealt with. It will be very difficult for you to relate emotionally to anyone during this time because you will tend to become cold, distant, and detached due to some injury you received that you have not forgotten. It is possible that a past relationship is not quite finished and needs to be resolved. This astrological aspect forces you to confront old, emotional karmic debts. It is important that you remain positive and objective in handling these negative emotions. You also may have problems in your home life, especially with older people or those who exercise a certain authority in your life. This is not a good year to change your residence or to invest in real property. It is advisable to watch your health, especially your digestive system. In a woman, this influence brings delays in the menstrual cycle and general problems with vitality. Moon quincunx Mercury: Your mind will be very restless and uncertain during this time, and you could find yourself being more indecisive than usual. It is important that you make use of your ability to analyze and come to reasonable conclusions and not act too much on impulse. You may feel the desire to change your residence or to make changes in your home, but you should use caution so that you don't make a mistake. You may have frequent problems in your home due to lack of communication. Avoid arguments so that you will be able to stay balanced. You could become the subject of gossip or criticism that could be upsetting to you.

10 The tendency toward desiring change will also affect your attitude toward your work and the success that you achieve will not be completely satisfactory because of your lack of perseverance. Moon quincunx Venus: You will search for endless pleasure during this time which could bring you into contact with people of questionable character. It's important to select your friends and associates carefully so that you don't waste your time or your money. There is a risk of becoming involved in a public scandal. You probably will be very sensitive and emotional, but your demonstration of affection could be misunderstood. You could become possessive and jealous, thereby restricting the freedom of your loved ones. It is advisable to think long and seriously about changes you want to make because you will be inclined to act on a whim. Moon sesquiquadrate Asc: You could become very easily irritated with frequent and unexpected mood changes. You will be more in touch with your subconscious and will tend to make decisions which are rash or illogical. It is important for you to think things over very thoroughly before making major decisions. Otherwise, you may have future regrets. Your relationship with others will tend to change, for better or worse. You will need to find emotional calm during this period. ***** SECOND PART ***** ANALYSIS OF THE 12 ASTROLOGICAL HOUSES.

However, you may find that there are delays and obstacles standing in the way of your achieving your goals and objectives. The gains you make will not be in proportion to the effort you have put into it. You will also find that making these changes may take longer than you thought they would.
