This yearly solar return is a transit that occurs when the Sun returns to the exact position it occupied at the moment of your birth, signifying a time of renewal, reflection, and potential growth. This is an annual solar return which happens every year around your birthday, reminding you and the world around you that the time has come for accepting change.

This transit offers a reboot of renewed energy: a chance review what your life has brought to you in the last year and what it holds for the future. It inspires personal goals- solid ones, long term ones and short term ones. The Sun, considered a planet in astrology, represents energy and identity, and hence the solar return symbolises that now is a great time to find a new purpose for the upcoming year of your life, reminding you of the accomplishments of the past year, and preparing you for what is next.

The completion of this transit can be read with the help of a solar return chart. The solar return chart is an index of themes that are going to dominate your year ahead. The house where the Sun falls in this chart would be the area of your life that you need to be the most attentive towards. So, if your Sun is in the 10th house, look out for career advancements or recognition in public, in the 7th, know that there are going to be changes in your relationships.

This is also a time of introspection. You may feel more inclined towards reflecting on what you have learned in the last year, and how those lessons have shaped into who you are now. Take this opportunity as your time to heal from emotional wounds, free yourself from the traps of old patterns, and allow new experiences find their way to your heart.

You can feel a real shift in energy during your solar return. Some respond with a huge drive and action and optimism, and others find themselves a little down, focusing on themselves and looking inside to identify the changes. At its core, a solar return is a time to celebrate yourself and all you are becoming.
