heyyy 🥰, I have a libra stellium (sun 4th, mercury 5th, and mars 5th house ) in my solar return chart. could you give me some insight pls?

sorry for my extremely late response, i was feeling overwhelmed with the solar return content ( ；∀；) but here ya go <3

SOLAR RETURN: LIBRA STELLIUM.

4h sun.

you might feel like redecorating your space (home/surroundings/room/etc.)

relationship with your family will be highlighted this year

there could be an interest in real estate, house repair, or house relocation

a focus on your emotional side, bit of introspection

you could be spending more time on domestic stuff, like cooking, gardening, and so on

5h mercury, mars.

CREATIVITY!!!

you may express yourself through creative means: art, music, writings, and more (especially writing tho with mercury in 5h)

having lots of inspirations and rush of energy to engage in creative endeavors

a lot of time spent on hobbies, taking risks, trying out new things

i see romance 👀 flirtations and of course sex (if your underage please omit that) generally a fun dating life with libra mars in 5h

communicating and bonding with children gets easy

having fun, going out, being yourself, being confident

you'll be more assertive in expressing your thoughts and who you are

as mars is placed in libra, your actions would come off less aggressive but more chill, diplomatic, and peaceful

you could be rather indecisive as well this year

solar return guide

㋡ hiiiii everyone i am back with some more solar return content ! in this guide, i will dive more into everything i've learned about solar return ♡

disclaimer. not a professional astrologer, just passionate about astrology <3 i'm still learning but i want to share what i know with yall (*´∇｀*) + these are not my photos and gifs

➤ i highly recommend you check out my "introduction to solar return" post before reading this if you haven't ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

what is a solar return chart ?

a solar return chart can give you insights on the general themes & events that might happen in the year ahead

it's only valid for a year when the sun returns to the exact degree of your natal sun until it goes another round and returns there once again the next year (in which you'll have to generate another chart)

some things to keep in mind #

since the planets' movements through the signs are limited (except for mars) & outer planets move sooo slow, house placements are seen more important as they bring more significant differences each year

remember !! planets are energies, signs are qualities, and house are areas

planets show what kinds of energy

signs that the planets fall in show how those energies are expressed

houses where they're at show which areas of life those energies are applied to

you can already feel your SR year during three months prior to your SR birthday. for some it might be a bit later, but generally what happens near the start of your SR year can predict the overall theme of that year

ascendant

your approach to life, first/immediate reaction to situations and people, suggests the main theme of the year, health issues, problems and matters throughout the year, the part of your personality that will rise to the surface

your ascendant will be the first energy/change that you’d feel when entering a new SR year. SR and natal planets in 1H and/or conjunct with SR ascendant will influence this as well

the natal houses that the SR ascendant falls into will show some issues from the area that will be highlighted, as well as the types of people that would be prominent in your year

ex. 3H siblings, 6H coworkers, 7H relationships & business partners

it’s important to note the SR chart ruler, aka ruler of the ascendant.

aries & scorpio ruled by mars

taurus & libra by venus

gemini & virgo by mercury

cancer by moon; leo by sun

sagittarius & pisces by jupiter

capricorn & aquarius by saturn

those are traditional rulers. for modern rulers, the only changes are scorpio by pluto, aquarius by uranus, pisces by neptune, and the rest are the same. again a preference thing, see what relates to you more

NEPTUNE. illusions, possible deceptions, brings confusion, creativity, service, brings escapism tendencies

PLUTO. brings major transformations, obsession, desires, power and control

༺☆༻

RETROGRADE PLANETS. planets that are more internally focused, need review & reflection, need to pay attention to

mercury rx – pay attention and review how you communicate and learn, process information gathered, how you transport (by car, train, etc)

venus rx – review how you love, your values, self-worth, how you indulge in pleasure

other planets take longer to go in retrogradation, so take notice when it changes direction in your SR chart (direct to retrograde/retrograde to direct)

༺☆༻

timing

the sun stays in a sign for approximately a month. check the transitioning sun to see which house and sign its in, as well as the planets it conjuncts, to see when an event may occur

for example,

this (non-existent) person has their solar return birthday start when the sun transits into libra, making late september & early october the first month of their SR year

let's say they SR saturn is in scorpio, which means they will encounter a karmic experience around the next month when sun transits into scorpio, especially when it conjuncts SR saturn

and it would be in regards to the area of life determined by the house that SR saturn is in. so 7H SR saturn = karmic lesson in relationship or business partnerships, 11H SR saturn = lesson in friend groups or social network

tips and resources

SOME TIPS THAT NOBODY ASKED FOR !!

reading a solar return chart is just similar to interpreting a natal chart. the more you learn and know about general astrology the easier it is to read a solar return chart

instead of changing the settings to generate a solar return chart everytime, create a natal chart using your solar return info so you can compare them to the transits and also make a synastry chart between your natal and SR charts (to see aspects easier)

look into past solar return charts to see in which way does the planets personally affect you

RESOURCES BECAUSE THEY SCARCE ASF !!

solar return 101

—quick introduction to solar return.

important. i am not a professional astrologer!

i've been learning about solar return lately and i just want to share my knowledge with everyone, especially anyone who's interested in starting to learn it!

this is a quick introduction to solar return! i'm thinking about making more solar return content soon so stay tuned!

GENERAL !!

A solar return chart is a chart for when the sun returns to the exact degree of your natal sun. It tells you the themes of your year, except that the year starts from your birthday to the next.

You can create one on various astrology websites, like astro-seek.com or astro.com, I personally like to use astro.com!

On astro.com, go to "Extended Chart Selection" then input your actual birth data. Under "Chart type" choose "Solar Return chart" and it will give you a solar return chart on its own. Many also compare it to their natal chart. To do this, select "Natal + Solar Return chart" or "Natal + Solar Return chart, with houses".

I would recommend taking a look at both - the chart on its own and compared to natal chart. I believe the solar return chart tells you of all the possibilities for the year. And by comparing it to the natal chart, you can kinda see if it's likely to happen and also extra info on your year so why not?

Where you have your birthday matters. Under "Default settings" choose "modify data" to change the reference place to where you're having your birthday. Some people think using their birth place is more accurate, so you can take a look at that too if you want to. I personally use where i'm having my birthday.

I explain how I read solar return charts under the cut <3

Where are most planets located at?

more on the upper half: going more "public," having to deal with people more. lower half: going more inner, dealing with yourself.

What are the dominant modes and elements?

i believe dominant modes have to do with your tendencies in activities and projects throughout the year. and elements as your emotions, moods, and vibes.

What sign is the ascendant? Its ruler (which would be your chart ruler as well)?

it is your attitude, approach, and reactions to things and people this year.

Look for any noticeable aspect patterns, like a grand trine or a t-square. Are there many squares? or conjuctions? trines? etc.

having many hard aspects could show a challenging year while many easy aspects could be a easy, chill year.

Any stelliums?

Where is the sun at? Look at the house more because the sun will always be in the exact degree and sign as your natal sun sign.

the sun would be your focus for the year.

1 - 4 - 7 - 10 house cusps. In other words, your AC (ascendant), IC (imum coeli), DC (descendant), and MC (midheaven).

Then I'll dig deeper into the details of the chart.

Look at each planets and where they are at - which houses and signs are they in.

And their degrees as well.

Which signs are the house cusps at?

The aspects that the planets make.

Basically reading it like a normal birth chart, but for your year.

After that, I look at the chart as compared to the natal birth chart.

See which natal house is your SR ascendant at.

SR ascendant in natal descendant (7th house) could mean that you might have to do things out of your comfort zone this year.

Overlays? Aspects? etc.

That's about it! I am planning to make separate posts more in-depth with the SR planets and houses stuff, so stay tuned (´∀｀*) Have a wonderful day everyone! Thank you for reading ♡

Any feedbacks and reblogs are more than appreciated 💖

Heyy hope you’re doing great ! Do you consider having a 8th house stellium in solar return bad ? ( Mars, Uranus, North node )

Thank you for your time !!

hii i am doing very well! thanks for asking <3

before i dive into this, i just want to say that north node isn't counted in a stellium, so you'd just have mars and uranus in 8th house, not an 8th house stellium!

i know 8th house has such a scary reputation haha but like all things, there's a fair share of good and bad with an 8th house stellium.

✿ 8th house in a solar return chart shows shared resources, finances, other people's money, transformations, and sex.

in general, an 8th stellium could bring you a lot of transformations and opportunities to gain money from others.

✿ mars shows your outward energy, actions, what you're passionate about during the year.

✿ uranus shows unexpected or sudden changes, your urges for freedom, and disruptions.

with uranus in 8H you could have monetary issues with others (such as debt or a start/ending of a joint bank account), sudden gains or loss of money, and you might feel the urge to be independent take control over your finances on your own as well.

mars in 8H could have you initiate the changes, a lot of energy poured into transforming or finance, and you could even have disruption in sex life.

and finally, north node in 8H will give you a lesson. you might learn something from financially dealing with others, from the transformations you may undergo, even a change of perspective on death and sex.

i'm just listing all the possibilities, the rest of the chart can affect this and the SR chart in comparison to your natal chart will give you more information!

[umepnnn]

Hi Lily,

I saw you just answered an ask about an 8th house solar return stellium and wondered if you could help interpret some 8th H SR planets I have which are Sun, Mercury, Mars (which I know you answered) and Venus. Although Venus is on the 8/9th cusp.

Thank you!

— solar return: sun, mercury, venus in 8th house

anyone interested in SR mars and uranus in 8H may visit this post.

just going to paste the definition i had for 8H from the other post here real quick:

✿ 8th house in a solar return chart shows shared resources, finances, other people's money, transformations, death, and sex.

✿ sun is your primary focus for the year.

this year you will be going through major transformations. you may be regenerating into a new you. bad habits and old ways of thinking will be rid of. there will also be more financial issues involving other people (debts, inheritance, contracts, agreements,etc) both good and bad. you may want to look after to your health as well, since there could be some dangerous situations or accidents, or even psychological/mental problems.

✿ venus shows how you love, relationships, romance, your aesthetic, and attraction for the year. and also how you handle money.

this could be beneficial for your finances this year, helping you attract money. you may prefer intense and intimate relationships rather than shallow, superficial ones. and you might seek pleasure in sex as well. you may meet someone new if you're single or love will be different for you and your partner. you could meet people with dark and mysterious aura to them too.

since venus is on the cusp between 8H/9H i will also interpret for venus in 9H.

you might enjoy philosophical topics, gaining knowledge and learning different perspectives. you'll feel more inclined to travel to different places and meetings with new people/love interests could happen during travels. this could also show meetings with foreign people or people with different backgrounds (and possibly falling in love with them if you're single).

✿ mercury is the way you communicate, think, and learn.

you may find your mind wandering in deep thoughts about death and rebirth, generally dark/taboo subjects, and also about money. 8H mercury will make it easier for you to think and talk about it, and you may want to learn more about it too. but beware of being too obsessed with them that it mentally exhausts you. besides that, you will be getting rid of old ways of thinking and replacing them with new ones. and you could also be more interested in spirituality and the occult.

these are just possibilities, it's not definitive, so don't take it too seriously <3 especially with the health thing - everyone should always look out for their health at all times ofc! take care 💗

[umepnnn]

I was wondering if there are any aspects in solar return chart that indicate going abroad for higher education??

hey! this kind of overlapped with the solar return observations i was working on so i was kinda saving it for when that's done but jsbsjs i'm just gonna answer this now :)

as always, these are just some observational indicators. take it with a grain of salt <3

notes. i use placidus house system for this !

—solar return chart on its own:

✈️ uranus in 4H

♡ indicates home move.

📚 sun in 9H

♡ shows focus in traveling and/or higher education that year.

✈️ 4H uranus in opposition to jupiter

📚 active 4H, 9H, and 12H

♡ 4H rules residency, 9H rules long travels & higher education, and 12H rules foreign lands.

✈️ 9H lord aspecting 4H lord

♡ ex. 9H cusp in virgo = mercury is the 9H lord, similarly, look at 4H lord and see if they aspect each other.

📚 uranus in 6H

♡ not necessarily indicates going abroad but does indicates a change in daily routine, which could result from going abroad.

—solar return chart compared with natal chart:

✈️ SR 9H cusps conjunct natal moon

📚 SR ascendant in natal 9H

that's all i have for this! i'd say check the transits as well and of course there are other factors that would affect this (e.g. financial situation, family, your decisions, etc.) so don't take this too seriously <33

this was fun, thank you for asking !

[umepnnn]

I hope it’s ok, that I ask another solar return question 🤍 I’m also wondering about Moon and Neptune (conjunct) in Pisces in 2H, if that’s too specific I understand and would just ask then if you can interpret Moon and Neptune in 2nd H solar return.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

— solar return: moon and neptune in 2nd house

✿ 2nd house generally shows financial security, money, value, possessions, and income.

having pisces moon in 2H may bring out your emotional need for financial security. you may feel the urge to make money and be economically secure this year. there could be a lot of dependency and instability to your finance as well.

neptune in 2H once again contributes to this uncertainty and adds fluctuations in your money/income. you may find it hard to manage money this year and since neptune also shows deception and lies, you might want to be careful of losing money due to theft or deceptions.

on the other hand, 2H neptune can help you gain money through spirituality (e.g. law of attraction/law of assumption).

moon conjunct neptune might heighten your sensitivity, especially towards others' moods and energies. it's possible that you are emotionally drained due to this. watch out for fear, anxiety, disillusionment, especially escapism tendency. since they are in 2H, be careful of having a idealistic view of your financial situation that you end up ignoring what is actually happening.

like always, don't take my words too seriously. there are lots of different possibilities depending on the rest of the chart + when compared to your natal chart :)

[umepnnn]

hello my solar chart is this, my birthday is on august 31. is there any chance of glowup?

hey!

this is just me speaking from experience and observations, but

with venus in the first house and in exact conjunction with ascendant, yes it's likely that you'll have a glow up this year!

especially with venus (and ascendant) square pluto that indicates a major transformation. venus trine moon, you might feel better about your appearance, or liking the way you look. venus trine saturn and jupiter, there's growth and you being more mature in the way you view yourself/your appearance/self-image.

having your ascendant and venus both in a leo degree (17°), i feel like you could feel more confident in your beauty as well.

hope you enjoy your glow up lovely 💖

[umepnnn]

Hii since ask box is open I'm jumping in🥰🥰my bday is 2 weeks away so SR related question : SR taurus rising - venus 7H opp uranus 1H, what does it remind u of?🤣 For some reason I'm v excited about my next SR even tho sun+mars is in 6H (I'm alr tired af🥲)

An extra question for u : how's ur current SR chart?🙊any good aspects/placements u wanna share with us?

hii lovely 💕💕 those placements are so fine omg i'm excited for you!! and during this time you're alr transitioning into your next SR chart haha i think that's why you're tired 🥲

taurus rising gives you a calmer temperament & reaction to people as well as issues that arise throughout the year. you'll take your time and slowly live through the moment. you may feel a bit reluctant to changes due to taurus' fixed nature. a need for security will contribute to this tendency as well. some themes for the year could be related to value and self-worth.

7H venus in opposition to 1H uranus – boyy do i see the love in the air 😌 not to mention the fact that venus is your sr chart ruler i- 😩🤚 with venus in 7H there could be chances of getting in a relationship if you're single. and you'll also benefit from your associations with others. if you're already in a relationship then this opposition aspect could indicate a need for freedom, in other words, a breakup. but not necessarily!! because it could also show wanting to try something new in the relationship too ;)

aw thank you for asking the extra question 🥺 i'm having a libra rising at 7° this year with mercury in 1H (plus air dominant this year) and i honestly kinda have a love hate relationship with these placements xD

i had a libra rising year before and i like how i'm more talkative n confident in socializing with people but i lowk felt a bit cringey thinking back about what i said or did 😃 but i also find myself pretty cute hahaha so it's okay bc of the flourishing love money and beauty 😌

thanks for asking i hope you have a wonderful day or night<3 and an early happy birthday 💗

[umepnnn]

Hi! I hope ur having a good day c: I was wondering what having both saturn and jupiter in the 10 house (SR chart) could bring? Thank u!

hey! hope you're having a lovely day too (о´∀`о)

— solar return: saturn and jupiter in 10H

✿ 10th house in the solar return chart can tell you how the world sees you, your reputation, vocational direction, long term goals.

✿ saturn shows limitation/restriction, responsibility, delays, challenges, karma, work.

✿ jupiter brings luck, expansion, growth, opportunities, success.

this could be an important year in terms of your direction (for young people it's education and school, for adult: career). saturn and jupiter being in 10H can bring you a lot of opportunities regarding your career or direction in life and it is up to you to decide whether to take it. there will be challenges that could make you feel more inclined to work for your future and long term goals. it may have you work very hard this year but in the end the results will be fruitful. and those vocational opportunities or changes might require you to discipline yourself and take more responsibilties. this could be a good year for growth and maturation.

it will be more highlighted if jupiter or saturn or MC is at a critical degree (0° and 29°), especially if the planets are in conjunct with the MC (within 6° orb).

[umepnnn]

hi! I came across your posts on solar return charts and I have a question I struggle to find the answer to anywhere online - when looking at the ruler of the ASC of the SR chart through the natal chart, would you recommend to take the traditional ruler instead of modern ruler into account? (ex; pisces being ruled both by neptune and jupiter) or is it better taking them both into consideration?

hi! thanks for stopping by :) i personally take both of them into consideration although i'd put a bit more importance on modern rulers. just cuz it doesn't hurt to have a little more info and maybe when you observe your charts you can see which ones you relate to better!

hope this answers your question <3
