    Solar Returns

    In this episode, we demystify the astrological concept of Solar Returns. Discover how this personalized chart, cast for the exact moment the Sun returns to its position at your birth, can offer valuable insights into the year ahead. We delve into the debate of using birth location versus current location for casting the chart, sharing our experiences and preferences. Get ready to learn how to harness the power of Solar Returns to gain a deeper understanding of your personal growth and potential challenges in the coming year. Try this experiment: 1. Cast your own Solar Return for the current year you are in (example: if your birthday is in November, cast your SR using the 2023 chart). Use your place of birth. 2. Cast the same chart again, but using the location you were on your birthday. 3. Compare the two charts. Using basic interpretation skills, which chart resonates more with the experience you've had so far since your last birthday? You can repeat this process for any previous year, too. You may also do this for the charts of family and friends. Keep notes of your findings in a notebook (digital or old-school paper). This will help you to formulate your own sense of what works for you in practice. -And here is the book Katie referred to: Planets in Solar Returns: Yearly Cycles of Transformation and Growth by Mary Fortier Shea
