A solar return chart is calculated for the moment the Sun returns to its natal position around your birthday. It offers a symbolic way to reflect on themes for the coming year. It is one part of a conversation, rather than a list of events that must happen.
How is it different from a birth chart?
Your natal chart describes the sky at your birth. A solar return chart looks at a particular birthday year. Reading them together can give context: a yearly theme may matter differently depending on your longer-standing patterns and the questions you bring.
Why do birth time and location matter?
An accurate birth time helps locate chart angles and houses. The city where you expect to be around your birthday can also affect solar return house placements. If your time or travel plans are uncertain, tell me; we can discuss what is clear and what is limited.
What happens in my session?
Before we meet, you share your birth date, time if known, birthplace, current location, likely birthday location, and a few themes on your mind. We then spend 75 minutes discussing the chart together. A brief 2–3 page PDF follows with selected takeaways.
Is this a prediction?
It is a framework for reflection and planning. I do not guarantee an event or advise you to make a medical, financial, or career decision from astrology alone.
