My View of Solar Returns

"Here are my opinions about solar return charts. I do want to make it known that I was not raised to run solar return charts. My first astrology teacher, Press Roberts, felt that all prediction could be garnered through a combination of progressions and transits. He dismissed solar returns as being a waste of time, as they were just transits anyway. My current teacher, Noel Tyl, doesn't like solar returns because he had some unfortunate experiences that resulted from too much stock being placed on a solar return that was predicated on an erroneous assumption. He is also uncomfortable about some previously unaddressed issues of solar return calculations.

Timing is perhaps the biggest shortcoming of solar return charts. Basically, they seem to represent a summary of the year taken as a whole. In the experience of people in my circle, the most significant time is three (3) months after the solar return. In fact, a couple years ago, my son asked me why everything seems to happen in November-for both him and me. Significantly, both my son and I have August birthdays."

Hi Don,

I have good experiences with Solar Return. In fact SR was not always good, but clear to understand some of them.
I would like to post here two my most important SR: meeting with the same man after many years.

The most difficult is timing, that is sure. Timing is difficult everywhere.
I didn't have any teacher for Astrology: I learn on my own experiences.

    "It’s a fairly important element of the SR: it tells where you’ll find your main resources during the twelve months to which the Solar Return refers. You’ll see that the help of Jupiter will be crucial for the overall result for the year. Jupiter may give you a helping hand both in a propulsive way (it gives a trump card for a precise play) and by acting as a kind of guardian angel (it restrains the damage of a certain situation). Yet, you should keep an eye on the way Jupiter ‘works’ in the following three Houses: the second, the seventh, and the eighth.
