Venus Return
"Although the most common Return charts are Solar and Lunar Returns, the Venus Return is a surprisingly revealing forecasting tool. A chart is drawn for the moment that Venus returns (each year) to its position at birth, and this Venus Return chart is then interpreted.
With the Venus Return chart, we are able to forecast the upcoming year in terms of social events and contacts, the love life, and to some extent, financial matters. Although the Venus Return happens approximately once a year, it does not occur as predictably as a Solar Return chart. If you were born mid-September, for example, your Venus Return chart may occur in September one year, October the next, July the next year, and so forth.
Keywords for the Venus Return are leisure, pleasure, happiness, popularity, social contacts, romance, gifts, the love nature."

A horary chart for this kind of question can be constructed both for the moment we discover that an object is missing and for the time when an astrologer hears or reads the question posed to him. The simplest way to predicting whether the missing or stolen object will be found or retrieved is by delineating the luminaries. If in the chart of a question or an event the Moon in a nocturnal or the Sun in a diurnal chart closely aspect their rulers the object will be returned to its owner.

I have a question on solar
I have a question on solar return relocation. As I was earlier to referring one of the books by Merriman”The new solar return book of prediction”, the author emphasizes that the planets must be in good aspect to Ascendant and Midheaven. Also, she recommends having harmonious aspect between a planet in a particular house to the planet which rules the house.
Based on a book on “transits and outer planets”, I must ensure that planets must not be conjunct the cusp of a house +-2.5 degrees especially the 12th, 1st and 6th house. Reading your book tells me that you would prefer that no planets be there in the negative houses of 12th,1st and 6th and even 8th not considered favorable.
So here is an example:
Native born : Female on Nov 19th 1970 at ambala,india at 5:50am
I tried to relocate this chart for the SR this year to Jaisalmer,India on November 18th 2009 at 4:47:39pm.
I wanted to have the 9th house of publishing, travel to be excellent along with good health. But I end up with Pluto here conjunct the 9th house cusp at 1deg, which I don’t like. However Pluto is Trine to Ascendant. And Saturn ruler of 9th house is Trine Midheaven and PartsOf fortune. I also wanted the native to have good health but I see Saturn in 6th and Uranus in 5 deg away from conjunction of 12th house cusp plus we have Moon in 8th(has excellent aspects including a Quintile to Ascendant). I am also worried that Saturn in 6th may cause more work load at work.
I also worry because the planets Mercury(conjunct 8th house cusp,less than 5 deg), Uranus conjunct 12th house cusp at about 5 deg. Neptune conjunct 11th house cusp. Jupiter also conjunct 11th house cusp in less than 4 deg.
But all the planets have positive aspect to Ascendant and Midheaven. Uranus though has a semi-square to the Ascendant.
Moving the SR out of India, moves the Uranus to either to 10th,12th or 1st which I don’t like in this chart. Moving the chart to other locations like Madhuri, or Calcutta in India, causes Mars to square ascendant and I also see T-square.
Could you kindly tell me what is your take on this chart? Can the planets behave positively even thought they are conjunct the cusp since they have positive aspects to the Ascendant and Midheaven? Saturn even though in 6th house is Sextile to the ruler of the house Mercury.
One of the authors feels that Mars in any house is bad. But again Mars in 4th house is trine to Moon which is ruler of 4th house and is in positive aspect to Sun. Could you give me your advice as to what you think I should do? If I relocate this chart to another position in India, Mars becomes a square to Ascendant which I don’t find feasible.
When I overlap the Natal Chart on the solar return chart,
The Natal Ascendant falls in SR 7th house and the Natal Midheaven falls in SR 4th house.
When Natal chart is superimposed on Solar return chart.
Natal Ascendant falls in SR 6th house- which I don’t like since the concern about work and activities will increase. Natal Midheaven falls in SR 3rd house.
