The exact chart for the moment the Sun returns to its natal degree — your astrological year-ahead.
A solar return is cast for the instant — usually within hours of your birthday — when the Sun crosses its natal degree again. The houses and angles of that chart describe the tone of the upcoming year: where the Sun lands, what aspects the Ascendant takes, which planets cluster near the angles. Traditional astrologers used it for annual omens; modern practitioners treat it as a year-themes briefing.
You can compute the return for any past or future year, see the natal-vs-return overlay with inter-chart aspects, and inspect the new houses. Save the chart for AI-written year-ahead readings and to relocate the return to a different city.
