A solar return chart is an astrological chart set for the exact moment that the Sun returns to the same location in the zodiac that it was in when a person was born.
The solar return itself roughly coincides with a person’s birthday each year, although sometimes the exact astronomical return of the Sun will be a day or two off from the calendar day in which the birthday falls.
Solar return charts are thought to provide information about the nature and course of a given year in a person’s life. Each year there is a new solar return chart that is unique, although during some years it is possible for certain patterns and themes to be repeated.
