Where should we domificate the Solar Return?
"What is the place for where the Solar Return is cast? The place of birth or the place where the native actually is on the very moment of the Solar Return?
I find that this question is strongly idle and rhetorical; but since somebody raised the issue, I’ll try to give a well-structured answer, supported by astrological evidences. Since Astrology exists, it has always put in connection a time and a place in which something was born. There’s a very old saying: every rising thing may be born under a good or a bad star. The horoscope, i.e. the map of the natal sky, is the snapshot of the sky as it is on the moment of the birth - a photo taken in the place where the happy event is taking place."

'I prefer to think of the Solar Return Chart in the same way I do the Natal Chart, which is that it does not determine outcomes or destinies in an inflexible way, but instead serves to highlight the ENERGIES available to you in the form of opportunities and/or frustrations that we can choose to take advantage of and navigate to the best of our abilities. We are not victims to fate, but living, conscious beings with power to direct our lives by the choices we make.

Sun's placement designates the hour, which is the basis for the calculation of the Solar Return (SR) chart.

Hi, Our Solar Return we do
Hi,
Our Solar Return we do for the place we live and not where we were born. I have lived in different countries and for me the place of living (in that time) was the right one.
Of course, if I go somewhere for holiday and stay there one week just for my birthday: that place is not the right place for SR.
There are two very wrong definitions about SR place:
1. Place of birth (if we live somewhere else)
2. Go for holiday to other country (pretty far away) to celebrate birthday for two or more days.
My example: in one year I have lived in five places (three countries) and none was the right for SR.
