The Psychic One

***** INTRODUCTION *****


     The Solar Return is a chart calculated for the time that the Sun arrives at the exact position of the Sun in your natal chart. That happens once every year around your birthday, but at a different time each year. This chart is calculated for the time of the Sun's return this year and marks the principal events for the year from birthday to birthday. This report also gives the location of your Solar Return. From this, it can be determined that some places are more favorable than others. With the aid of more than one report you could analyze the changes that are produced in the Solar Return Reports, choosing from different locations where you would want to spend the day.

     This report essentially is divided into two parts. The first part analyzes the general external conditions of the year: opportunities and problems that could occur in different areas. For the benefit of students of astrology, the influence of the Ascendant and Midheaven of the return are described as well as that of the Sun and Moon.

     The second part analyzes the twelve astrological houses, marking specifically in what area of your life the various astral influences will be manifested, emphasizing your probable responses and inner changes. This section analyzes the position of the solar houses on the natal houses, the planetary conjunctions, and the location of the planets in the houses. You will be given a description of the most important matters derived from the placement of the planets in the houses, which are outlined in the text for each of them.

     In some cases you will find contradictions. A planet may be beneficial in a certain area, while others may indicate the opposite situation. This means that you could have two types of possible situations during the year. For example: a lover's quarrel and a following reconciliation. To get the most out of this report, it will be necessary to use your own logic and intuition, fitting the descriptions outlined here to your own particular case.

     The objective of this report is to offer you a practical guide that helps you to analyze this year's prospects and to learn from them using your free will.

***** FIRST PART *****


 

Chapter 1:

General characteristics of the year. The external conditions.


Solar Return Ascendant Pisces :

     Your imagination and creativity will be intensified this year, and your outlook on life will be less realistic than usual. You will be more sensitive and inclined to have your feelings hurt over things that would normally not bother you. During this period you could be more intuitive and perceptive. You may have unusual, visually powerful dreams, or precognitive dreams.  You may become strongly attracted to the psychic world or to the paranormal. You may be drawn to study these subjects and to discover more about your inner self.

     There is a strong tendency to get caught up in your own world of ideas but have difficulty expressing them to others. You will  be so involved in your dreams and visions that you will have a hard time operating in the outer world and taking necessary action. You  will find yourself less practical and logical than usual this year. However, your impressions of people and situations will be unusually accurate and perceptive. Listen to your inner voice. Trust it to guide you, in spite of your apparent lack of common sense. You can count on that "angel on your shoulder" to get you through this year.

     Because you are more inclined to want to be helpful and have concern for the problems of others, you will tend to neglect your own needs. You could neglect your projects and responsibilities for the welfare of others, which you may regret later on. Remember that you aren't seeing as realistically or clearly as you usually do at this time. Don't let that upset you. On the other hand, while you are protecting and caring for the defenseless and needy, you could very easily become a victim yourself. You might find yourself looking for pity or inordinate approval from others for the work you are doing, which would not be in your best interest. If by nature you are a more rational, practical person, you may enjoy these new attitudes and abilities for this time. You may make some wonderful discoveries about yourself or reality which you can draw on a later time. However,  if you are inclined to be more dreamy and sensitive naturally, this influence could cause you to become too impractical or vulnerable. In either case, it is recommended that you use special caution in making commitments, signing contracts, making investments or loans, or taking any action which binds you or obligates you in a romantic situation. Don't mix your emotions with your work or your money.

     This year you might have to deal with karma that you have not taken care of before. This may be the time to work with it so that you can let it go. This is not the best time to make great financial or  professional advances.

     Physically, your most sensitive spot will be your feet. You might be subject to sprains, pains, or infections. Use good walking shoes and walk barefoot every chance you get. This year also could bring some ailments that are difficult to diagnose. That is because their cause is psychosomatic. You may have unusual or strong reactions to medications so don't hesitate to consult your physician if you sense that a treatment is not working properly for you. The desire to escape from reality may lead you to drugs or alcohol.  If you already have an addiction problem, you will need to work with it very seriously this year. It is very important to control the use of any addictive substances during this time.

     Since you will be having more than usual difficulty dealing with the real world, it would be advantageous for you to be in contact with  people who are more practical and organized.  You can hope that a Virgo walks into your life at this time for you could benefit from his or her clear-headed thinking. If you are in a committed relationship, your partner could be your connection to the real world. If you are not involved with anyone at this time, you should remind yourself that you might not be seeing that new person with true clarity.  You will be inclined to idealize anyone you meet.  It would be wise to postpone any new commitments until the year is ended.

Solar Return MC Sagittarius:

     During this year you want to reach for the stars! . Your optimism and your faith will be the principal ingredients for your advancement and the realization of your goals. This influence brings you a dose of general luck with your projects. You have a cosmic protection that will be with you all year. You will more convincing and persuasive than you have ever been. This could be beneficial to you in politics, business or any other related field.

     If your usual work is related to travel, tourism, diplomacy, international business, teaching, photography or the theater, it will be a successful year. You might also find yourself renewing an interest in one of these areas that you have had in the past. You might even be involved in more than one occupation during this year. Don't allow yourself to get too busy or involved, thereby spreading yourself too thin.  It's important to concentrate on your major goals for the year. Otherwise, you will not use your energy wisely.

     You could travel and visit other countries during this period, if other indications in this report confirm it. If not, you could use this time to expand your mental or spiritual horizons. You may not have to travel to have new experiences as you could attract into your present physical arena new people who share new ideas and stories of other lands with you.  Or you might decide to study a foreign language.

     You won't spend much time at home during this period, and could find a "second" home some place where you feel comfortable. You will be very restless and will have a desire to interact with others. This could take place outside of your home, or you may receive a lot of visitors in your home. There might also be more contact and relating to brothers and sisters and other close relatives. Communication is the major key to resolving any disputes that could arise. If you were thinking of moving, you may think about it even more now, and finally make up your mind to do it.

 

Chapter 2: Astrological influence of your personality.


Sun in 6th house:

     You will work a lot during this year and will concentrate your energy on searching for more efficient and successful ways to do your work, especially if you are working for an employer. You will want to stand out from the rest of your associates for your good work and for the authority which you command, which could arouse jealousy and envy. If you work independently, this year should bring favorable   working relationships with employees or service providers and vendors. In any case, work will be an important part of your life this year.

     You may be more inclined to concentrate on service of some kind where you can use your abilities to help others.

     It would be best to pay special attention to your health this year as there could be some problems. If you already have poor health, you should take extra care during this year. It is recommended that you watch your nutrition, adopting a diet that gives you the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that your body needs. If you consider yourself a normally healthy person, don't take it for granted and be careful not to work yourself to exhaustion. It is important to watch your energy level and not overwork. Any health problem that manifests could be due to overdoing physically but it could also be due to emotional causes. If the Sun's aspects to other planets, which are described below, are especially negative, you should be especially careful to take care of yourself and not to overdo.

     You might find that bringing a new pet into your home would give you much joy and relaxation.

Sun trine Pluto:

     During this time you will feel the desire to investigate and study the mysteries of life in depth. You will be interested in the occult and also will bring to the surface memories or impressions of your past that affect your present conduct. It is a year of positive transformation and of freedom. All changes that begin now will enable you to live with more freedom in the future. If you were contemplating some type of therapy, it would be a good time to start and would be very beneficial. You will be attracted to any type of activity that tests your ability and level of energy. You will need to reaffirm and rely on your own strength, and during this year you will be willing to move ahead.

     You will express yourself with authority and strength in your relationships with others, causing a strong impact and making a very good impression. Due to the strength of your great inner convictions, you will more easily persuade others to adopt your ideas. Your authority will be notable and you could become a leader in the group that you are affiliated with.

     This astrological influence brings concrete action and will solve many aspects of your life. Once you have made a decision, you will be devoted to working toward your goal. You will experience a transformation and renewal of your life in general.

Sun trine MC:

     You will have a year of great progress and professional success. Your trust, enthusiasm, and the ability to channel your energies correctly will bring transformation and general improvement. There could be an increase in your income, and you also could resume an prior interest in some promising business opportunity. Your future goals will be very clear to you, and you will work efficiently to attain them. You will feel the satisfaction and pride of having done things well.

     You won't find it necessary to rely on anybody. You could become centered, sure of yourself, and enthusiastic, thereby capturing  the attention of others and making you their leader. You will know how to earn the respect of others. During all this time you will be a very responsible worker and at the same time will maintain a healthy social life without neglecting your own purposes.

     Your creative capacity will increase as well as your ability to coordinate your efforts with that of others. Regardless of how much opposition you may receive, the final success will be yours. You will know how to choose people around you who are able to give you support. In your personal arena, your relationship with your father, or with someone who represents a father figure for you, will be a point of important support for the achievement of your goals.

Sun semisquare Venus:

     You may encounter, and have to deal with, some unresolved romantic problems from the past. Stay calm and develop a positive attitude toward your partner, as well as your social life in general. The irritations and displeasures caused by others could be the reflection of your own inner uneasiness. This aspect generates a desire for comfort and pleasure, which could lead to disruptions in your routine, followed by a possible loss of income. Do your best to control these yearnings and search for a creative solution for your inner dissatisfaction.

Sun semisextile Jupiter:

     You will have lucky streaks during this year and can rely on the support of other people. Your optimism and your positive attitude toward life in general will increase. You probably will have a desire to increase your knowledge about certain subjects and will learn more by studying. There also is a possibility of some travel during this year. Don't place too much trust in your imagination, but use your energies to accomplish the work that is important. Resist the tendency to look for comfort and ease.

Sun semisextile Saturn:

     Stability and perseverance in achieving your objectives will stand out during this time. You will be more realistic and objective, which will allow you to organize and direct your energies better. Success this year depends on being constant in that which you propose to do.

     You will rely on the support of close friends and those in authority, and you will receive it because of your responsible and trustworthy attitude.

 

Chapter 3: The emotional world.


Solar Return Moon in Leo :

     Your emotions will be intense and spontaneous and you won't restrain yourself from expressing them. This will be a year of pleasure, and you will enjoy each place and each moment. Your disposition will be happy and enthusiastic. However, you could also be more self-willed. You will impress others with your confident attitude and trust in yourself that you will transmit to others. You could develop a greater sense of fairness and will become very protective of your loved ones during this time. You will also show a great aptitude for organizing and directing others.

     You probably will receive more support from women in general, although there also could be strong disagreements and arguments because each party will have firm opinions and a tendency to be inflexible.

     Your creativity will be excellent and if you have artistic inclinations, you will create and produce a lot during this year. Because of your emotional intensity, your work as well as your personal expression, will have a dramatic character. You will be thinking big and will have a tendency to exaggerate. If you let this get out of hand, you could become involved in a scandal. If by nature you are a more retiring person, you will be more uninhibited during this time and will surprise the people around you.

     Your personal magnetism will also increase which could lead to romantic and sexual encounters. You will search for the admiration and the approval of others, which could result in jealousy in a committed partner. You will be very selective in the friends you spend time with  and will not be easily satisfied with people who come into your life.

    Your increased self-respect could bring you many benefits during this time, providing you don't neglect your goals.

Solar Return Moon in 6th house:

     Your emotional ups and downs will affect your physical health, generating psychosomatic problems. You should be careful not to let your emotions be expressed in a negative way. Otherwise, you could be subject to certain disorders, particularly in the digestive system. During this year, you will concentrate on improving your diet, your body, and your health in general. For very mild problems such as headaches or indigestion, it would be best not to take medicine, if at all possible, because, in  most cases, the cause will be emotional. However, if the problem appears to be of a more serious nature, you  should seek some sort of medical assistance.

     You may become restless and start thinking of making a change in the work you do. You will be looking for a more pleasant work environment, one which is less stressful. If you are presently working in a noisy or negative environment, you will seek something more positive and congenial. Or you might even think about changing the kind of work you do.

Moon opposition Neptune:

     You could be more vulnerable to deception and deceit. You will be more emotional and sensitive than usual which will increase your  susceptibility to the actions and emotions of others. You will not be able to see people as realistically as before which could result in your being hurt or disillusioned by those you trusted. It's important to be aware of this and be more cautious than usual when dealing with others, especially those who you don't know well. You will be particularly vulnerable with women.  It would also be a good idea to postpone making final decisions or plans, if at all possible, until this period is over. You could also be more easily victimized now.

     There could be a state of confusion or mystery in your home. You could be the subject of gossip or malicious comments. Even those close to you could be the ones who betray or deceive you. Since you could be  more gullible during this time, you should try to associate only with people you are confident you can trust. You will be working at a deeper, subconscious level and may find yourself recalling memories and traumas from your childhood which will add to the confusion you are already experiencing.

     You should probably avoid activities such as consulting psychics or mediums for you could be unduly affected by them.

     You will be more sensitive to toxins from alcohol or food. If you already are using cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs, you may want to increase your consumption and it will be very difficult to control it.

     The best way to counteract this influence would be to give free expression to your creativity through some artistic or literary  activity, and also to be extra cautious and perceptive in your personal relationships.

Moon trine MC:

     You will have a very favorable year for your personal enterprises and your work in general. You will be able to rely on the support of the public, especially that of women. Changes in your professional activity will bring you in more favorable contact with others, achieving an increase of your popularity and of your success. In return, this will be reflected in your financial income and also in your creativity.

     Your emotions will be in tune with your intentions and you will concentrate your energy in one direction. Your dreams and imagination will give you new ideas to improve your work. You will be able to rely on the support of your loved ones, particularly your mother and other women, for the achievement of your objectives.

Moon quincunx Asc:

     You could become very easily irritated with frequent and unexpected mood changes. You will be more in touch with your  subconscious and will tend to make decisions which are rash or illogical. It is important for you to think things over very thoroughly before making major decisions. Otherwise, you may have  future regrets. Your relationship with others will tend to change, for better or worse. You will need to find emotional calm during this period.

Moon semisextile Mercury:

     You will become very imaginative and romantic. This is a year to express your feelings either orally or in writing. You will be very perceptive and intuitive which will help you to easily understand and solve any problems you encounter. Your suggestions and advice will be accepted as being very useful by the people you associate with.

You will feel the desire to express your own opinions more strongly and your increased imagination during this time will benefit your intelligence.

On the other hand, it won't be very favorable for independent activities which you initiate on your own because you could experience problems and delays. Activities related to health care and personal hygiene will be productive. Success and accomplishment in your work will depend very much on the state of your health.

Pluto in 10th house of Solar Return:

     There could be drastic changes in your profession or occupation during this year. You will feel more ambitious and will begin to notice the areas of your work where there is no room to grow or improve yourself. The changes you will want to make may be radical,   not only changing the place where you work, but also the job itself. You will be more sensitive to authority figures and will not feel like  taking orders from anyone. This could cause tension and disagreements  in the work place, especially if you work for other people.

     You will have the opportunity to become successful with your projects during this year. You will have the necessary strength to overcome any obstacle and to make any changes that you need to make.  You need to be realistic though, and not raise your expectations so high that they are out of your reach.

     This period will mark an important turnaround in your life, changing your goals and principal objectives to new, long-range ones.




     HOUSE 11:  Friendships and social life.

     HOUSE 12:  Limitations, enmities and hidden things.

Solar Return 12th house on 8th natal house:

     You could become concerned about the illness and possible death of a loved one. Take care not to become too obsessive or involved in your concern. Try to keep a positive outlook on this situation. This influence also could bring difficulties or annoyances due to legal problems over litigation or the receiving of an inheritance.

     You could also have experiences related to black magic or other occult sciences. Be very cautious, especially if you are an easily suggestible person.

Uranus in 12th house of Solar Return:

     You will find your freedom being limited in some ways during this year. You could experience unexpected opposition from enemies or problems arising suddenly that will limit your freedom. These inconveniences could very well be the result of past actions of yours.

     On the psychological side, there will be a tendency to be reluctant to express your new and unconventional ideas for fear that they will not be understood or accepted. You will feel like a prisoner of your own fears and insecurities, and consequently will desire a degree of isolation from the world around you. You could be reacting from  subconscious memories or compulsions during this year. It is important to stay as calm and relaxed as you can so that you won't overload your nervous system.

     On the positive side, tasks that require solitude and concentration will be very successfully accomplished.

Neptune in 12th house of Solar Return:

     Your compassion and the desire to help needy people will be accentuated. You probably will participate in some charitable activity that you have never been interested in before which will enrich your inner being. You will be more willing to make sacrifices for others. Your intuitive powers and your psychic ability will also increase.

     On the material side, you should take care not to fall prey to the harmful intentions and actions of unknown, secret enemies because you could be betrayed or deceived by these people. It is advisable to stay clear of any doubtful situations or shady businesses which might not be legal.

     Your health could suffer from depression or hard-to-diagnose illnesses stemming from emotional distress. For mild problems such as fatigue, indigestion, or headaches, avoid, if at all possible, taking drugs or medication because they could harm your body. For serious health problems, it is likely that you will need to consult with several health care practitioners before you are clear about the cause and best treatment for the problem. Avoid taking on any new bad habits this year and use moderation at all times.
