Solar Return Charts in Astrological Forecasting

Solar Return Charts in Astrological Forecasting

Solar Return Charts

A solar return chart is a chart cast for the exact time that the Sun reaches the same longitude (degree, minute and second) that it was placed at the time of your birth as shown in the natal chart.

Solar Return Place

A solar return chart is cast for the city you are in on your solar return date and not your birthplace. It is known as you solar return place or location.

Every year there will be a different solar return chart for you as the Sun will be in the same degree and sign, but the planets and angles will have moved.

Each of your solar return charts (year after year) will have the same sign, degree and minutes for the placement of the Sun as it is in your natal chart. In other words, your solar return Sun position on the zodiac is always the same as your solar return Sun every year.

When to Cast a Solar Return Chart

A solar return chart is cast every year on your birthday, or thereabouts, and can be used to predict the trends coming up for you each year.

A solar return chart is a direct astrological forecast method, which means it is based on transits, but it is crafted for you individually based on your natal Sun’s position.

If you can read a natal chart you can quickly interpret a solar return chart.

 

Solar Return Annual Forecasting Period

It is usual, and advisable, for clients to have a chart consultation on or near their birthday because of the power inherent in the solar return chart.

If you do a client consultation midyear you have to print the current and the next solar return chart.

Solar Return Charts can Stand Alone

A solar return chart is one forecasting technique that can be done alone and not combined with the other methods.

A solar return chart is useful for forecasting one year ahead which is a typical length of time for an astrological forecast for someone.

Relocate the Chart

Your birth chart is calculated for the town or city where you were born.

When the transiting Sun perfects the conjunction to its natal position you could be anywhere on Earth.

When using a solar return chart, it is necessary to cast the chart for the place that you are living in on that birthday.

As the potentials for the year are inhaled at the exact time of the Sun’s return.

If you move from your birthplace, each year’s solar return place can be different if you continue to move.

For example: If you were born in Toronto and now live in London then you would calculate the solar return chart for London for that year..

If you were born in Toronto and now live in London and are on vacation in Los Angeles on your birthday, then you would calculate the solar return chart for Los Angeles.

Solar Returns: Podcast Episode

Learn how to cast a SOLAR RETURN chart, what to look for and intrepret it.

In this episode, I (Alison) chat with Arwynne and discuss the direct forecasting technique of solar return charts.

We explain how to cast a new solar return chart, solar return travellers, and three key interpretation steps to understanding the message in the chart without being overwhelmed by too much data.

Date and Time Changes

All good astrology software such as Solar Fire and Astro Gold will calculate a solar return chart for you.

Check that the Sun’s position is the same as the natal Sun’s position and check the new location.

Solar Return Date

If you move extremely west or east of your birthplace then the solar return chart may end up being dated on the day before, or the day after, your actual calendar birthday.

Solar Return Time

The birth time for the solar return chart will be different to the natal time and different each year.

Solar Return Chart Interpretations Interpretations

Interpretation of the solar return chart is not as complicated as re-analyzing a whole new chart.

There are specific details to look for and not every solar return chart will provide as much information as the next one.

How Often to Cast a Solar Return Chart

The solar return chart may come into effect one or two months before your birthday and last up to ten to twelve months after your birthday.

I find that it is best to start using the next solar return chart one month before your birthday.

That is when the Sun is at thirty degrees to its natal position, or one sign before.

This can be variable, and it depends on the placement of the planets that year.

 

When to Use a Solar Return Chart

You don’t just wake up one day under the effects of the new solar return chart.

It is a gradual process.

However, when the transiting Sun is in orb of a conjunction to your natal Sun (8 degrees) then the solar return chart begins its effect for sure and last year’s solar return chart fades away.

  

Using Two Solar Return Charts at Once Two Solar Return Charts

A situation may arise when you have to cast two solar return charts at once.

This would typically be the case if you were looking at the yearly forecast for someone and it was six months from their last birthday and therefore six months until their next birthday.

Previous Solar Return

You can use the previous year’s solar return up until the month before your next birthday.

Current Solar Return

The current solar return is cast for your last birthday and can be used for twelve months. You may begin to feel the effects of the next solar return chart when it is under one month to your next birthday.

 

Next Solar Return

The next solar return chart will come into effect around your next birthday. But the influences may start to develop at around one month before your next birthday.

If your birthday is in the next month use the next solar return chart.

Instances When to Cast Two Solar Return Charts

If you had a client who came for an astrological consultation and required a forecast between their two birthdays, then you would cast two solar return charts, the previous one and the next one.

 

Angles in the Solar Return Chart

Solar Return Angles

When reading a solar return chart, the four angles are very important.

The natal sign over the solar return Ascendant clues you into the year ahead.

Any planet conjunct an angle in the solar return chart will be prominent that year.

Planets Conjunct the Angles

  • Ascendant – A planet conjunct the solar return Ascendant may play a role in how your project yourself.

  • Descendant – A planet conjunct the solar return Descendant may play a role in your close personal relationships.

  • Midheaven – A planet conjunct the solar return Midheaven may play a role in the public persona you can project that year.

  • IC-A planet conjunct the solar return IC may play a role in what your private life looks like.

Solar Return Ascendant Sign

The Ascendant sign in the solar return chart indicates the way you will present yourself this year.

It may be that same as your natal Ascendant, but in years when it is truly different, it offers you a chance to express yourself through a different lens, or filter.

Solar Return Ascendant in Your Natal Chart

The natal house which contains your solar return Ascendant needs close inspection for it is through this portal that you will express yourself in that year.

The Importance of the Solar Return Sun

The whole concept of solar return charts hinges on the Sun.

The Sun’s position in the natal chart dictates the Sun’s position in the solar return chart every year.

It follows that the Sun is the most important feature to be considered, not by sign (as it is the same as the natal) but by house and aspect.

Pattern of the Sun’s House Placement in Subsequent Solar Return Charts

Astrologers love patterns.

Having a pattern somehow makes astrology seem like it is part of a big plan.

Whose plan, we may not be sure, but a plan anyway.

The Solar Return Sun by House

Each year the solar return Sun will be in a different house of the solar return chart.

The solar return Sun moves through the houses in a particular pattern by type of house.

After around ten years, moves into the next kind of house (angular, succedent and cadent), eventually placed in each of the twelve houses in turn.

The pattern is loosely the angular houses (first, tenth, seventh and fourth), then the succedent houses (second, eleventh, eighth and fifth) and then the cadent houses (third, twelfth, ninth and sixth).

In this way the Sun may cover the whole twelve houses over a thirty year stretch.

This pattern is reliant on you not moving place.

The Solar Return Sun’s House Shift Pattern

This Sun house shift pattern works perfectly under three specific criteria:

  • If you live on the equator.
  • If you use the equal house system.
  • If you never move place.

But, if you use Placidus house system (which I do) or many of the other house systems, then the solar return Sun’s house shift pattern may be slightly out.

This is because the house widths are skewed by many house system cusps.

 

Relocating from Year to Year

Note: If you move place from one city to another for your solar return (that is your birthday) the pattern will be interrupted.

For around ten years the Sun is in angular houses and then it moves to succedent houses.

For example: You may have three returns with the Sun in the first house or only two returns.

It depends on your chart.

 

Solar Return Travellers

Therefore, the Sun could feasibly be in your solar return twelfth house for three years out of ten.

This twelfth house’s retiring and private position may or may not suit you.

For this reason, people travel for a better solar return Sun house position. 

 

First the Angular Houses

Sun in first house.

Sun in tenth house.

Sun in seventh house.

Sun in fourth house.

The Succedent Houses

Sun in the second house.

Sun in the eleventh house.

Sun in the eighth house.

Sun in the fifth house.

The Cadent Houses

Sun in the third house.

Sun in the twelfth house.

Sun in the ninth house.

Sun in the sixth house.

Planetary House Emphasis

Any house in the solar return chart that has more than three tenants needs special attention.

The areas of life indicated by the house will be of importance in the following year.

 

The Importance of the Solar Return Sun’s Aspects

The aspects the solar return Sun makes in the solar return chart (and therefore to the transiting planets at the time) are very important is showing the year’s identity and ego for the individual.

At the exact solar return, the Sun will be transiting the natal chart and triggering all the natal solar aspects that are in the natal chart.

This transiting Sun conjoined the natal Sun tends to recalibrate the meanings of the solar aspects.

The most important Sun aspects in the solar return chart in sequence are:

  • Conjunctions

  • Other Ptolemaic aspects; the square, trine, opposition and sextile

  • Minor aspects; the semi-sextile, quincunx, semi-square and sesquiquadrate

  • Lesser used aspects such as the quintile, septile and novile

  • Tip: I usually only consider the conjunction and the Ptolemaic aspects.

Transiting Sun Reinforces the Natal Sun’s Aspects

As the Sun moves into its natal position each year it remakes all the solar aspects that are in the natal chart.

For instance, if you have a natal Sun square Moon, then you will have a transiting Sun square natal Moon at the solar return.

Wellbeing

Five-pointed Star

Life is a journey of growth, expression and meaning. Just as the five-pointed star shines brightly in the night sky, I believe there are five essential elements that shape a satisfying life and they are: Creativity, Love, Vision, Money and Wellbeing. Each of these points represents a key area of life and astrology provides insight into how we navigate them. Creativity fuels our passions, love connects us to others, vision gives us direction, money provides security and opportunity and wellbeing ensures we have the strength to enjoy it all. This week I’ll explore each of these five components which I have incorporated into my astrology practice. I’ll share their astrological influences and how you can cultivate them for a more fulfilling and balanced life.

A Five-Pointed Star

The Essence of a Fulfilling Life

Your personal astrology holds the key to living a satisfying and meaningful life. It offers insights into your strengths, challenges and the unique path you are meant to follow.

Starzology

When I founded my Starzology astrology business, I deliberately chose a name that resonates with the number five, a number deeply embedded in astrology, creativity and personal growth.

5th Sign

The zodiac’s fifth sign, Leo the Lion, holds special significance for me because it’s my own Sun sign and Ascendant sign. Leo is bold, radiant and expressive, embodying the creative fire that drives inspiration and self-expression.

Quintile

In astrology, when we divide a birth chart by five, we uncover the quintile aspect, which is associated with talent, artistic ability and creative gifts. This lesser known but powerful aspect represents the spark of ingenuity that allows us to bring something uniquely our own into the world.

Star

At the heart of my philosophy is the five-pointed star, a timeless symbol of creativity and wholeness. While creativity forms the foundation, a truly fulfilling life requires more than just inspiration. To complete the star, I believe four essential qualities must accompany creativity:

  • Wellbeing: A healthy body, mind and spirit to support your journey.
  • Vision: A clear sense of purpose and direction in life.
  • Love: Meaningful relationships that nurture and inspire.
  • Money: Financial stability to provide freedom and opportunity.

Together, these five points form the essence of a well-rounded and satisfying life. By embracing the energy of the five-pointed star, you can align with your own creative power while cultivating balance in all areas of life.

Wellbeing

The Foundation of a Fulfilling Life

Wellbeing is at the heart of a vibrant and meaningful life. It goes beyond just physical health—it includes mental, emotional and spiritual balance. In astrology, different planets and houses in your birth chart reveal insights into your overall sense of vitality and harmony. By understanding these astrological influences, you can make conscious choices that support a healthier and more fulfilling life on all levels. 

Physical Wellbeing 

Your physical body is the vessel through which you experience life and maintaining its strength and resilience is essential. 

In astrology, physical wellbeing is primarily linked to: 

  • The First House: The house of self, body and personal vitality. It reflects your energy levels and overall physical constitution.
  • The Sixth House: The 6th house of health, routines and daily habits. It shows how well you care for yourself and any health concerns you may face.
  • The Twelfth House: Often linked to hidden health issues, subconscious patterns and the need for rest and retreat.
  • The Sun: The Sun represents your life force, vitality and energy. Its placement in your chart can indicate how you express and sustain your physical strength.
  • The Sixth House Ruler: The ruling planet of your sixth house offers additional clues about your health, habits and approach to physical care.

By understanding these astrological influences, you can develop lifestyle habits that support long-term health and energy. 

Mental Wellbeing 

A clear, focused mind is key to making good decisions, solving problems and navigating life with confidence. 

Astrologically, mental wellbeing is connected to: 

  • Mercury: The planet of communication, intellect and thought processes. Mercury’s placement and aspects reveal how you process information and express yourself.
  • Jupiter: The planet of wisdom, optimism and higher knowledge. A strong Jupiter can bring a positive mindset and resilience, while challenging Jupiter aspects may indicate tendencies toward overthinking or mental restlessness.

By cultivating curiosity, learning new skills and engaging in stimulating conversations, you can nurture your mental agility and adaptability. 

Emotional Wellbeing 

Our emotions shape our experiences, relationships and sense of inner peace. 

In astrology, emotional wellbeing is deeply influenced by: 

  • The Moon: The Moon governs your emotions, intuition and inner world. Its sign, house placement and aspects reveal how you process feelings and seek emotional security.
  • The South Node: This karmic point, the south node, can indicate past emotional patterns, habits, or emotional baggage that may need healing or release.

Emotional wellbeing involves recognizing and honoring your feelings, building emotional resilience and creating supportive relationships that nurture your soul. 

Spiritual Wellbeing 

Beyond the physical, mental and emotional realms lies spiritual wellbeing, the deep sense of connection to something greater than yourself. 

In astrology, spiritual wellbeing is associated with: 

  • The Ninth House: The 9th house of higher wisdom, philosophy and spiritual beliefs. This house represents your personal search for meaning and truth.
  • The Twelfth House: The 12th house of transcendence, intuition and the unseen realms. It connects you to your subconscious mind and spiritual experiences.
  • Neptune: The planet of spirituality, intuition and divine connection is Neptune. A well-aspected Neptune can bring heightened intuition and a sense of unity with the universe, while challenging aspects may indicate escapism or confusion around spiritual matters.
  • The North Node: This karmic point reveals your soul’s purpose and evolutionary path in this lifetime, guiding you toward spiritual growth.

Spiritual wellbeing comes from practices that align with your soul’s purpose—whether it’s meditation, prayer, nature walks, astrology, or creative expression. It’s about cultivating inner peace, trusting your intuition and recognizing that you are part of a vast and interconnected universe. 

Creativity

The Spark of Self-Expression

Creativity is the act of bringing something new into existence, something that wasn’t there before. It is the unique expression of your inner world manifesting into reality. Whether through art, music, writing, speaking, or innovative thinking, creativity is a fundamental part of what makes us human.

In astrology, creativity is symbolized by:

  • The Fifth House: The 5th house of self-expression, passion, joy and creative projects. It represents how and where you shine creatively.
  • Leo: The zodiac sign ruled by the Sun, embodying confidence, artistic flair and the courage to stand out.
  • Quintiles (72° aspect): A quintile is a harmonic aspect associated with talent, inspiration and the natural ability to create something extraordinary.

Creativity in Many Forms

Creativity is not limited to traditional artistic pursuits—it comes in many forms.

  • If you are a singer, musician, artist, writer, or craftsperson, you bring beauty into the world through artistic expression.
  • If you are a blogger, YouTuber, podcaster, or speaker, you use words and ideas to inspire, inform and entertain.
  • If you are an entrepreneur, astrologer, teacher, or problem-solver, you innovate, build and shape new ideas into reality.

No matter how creativity expresses itself in your life, it is a deeply personal and fulfilling journey.

The Joy of Creation

Creative people end each day with the satisfaction of knowing they have brought something new into existence. Whether it’s a painting, a poem, a video, a business idea, or a heartfelt conversation, they can say:

“I created that today.”

Creativity is not just a skill; it is a way of life. It is the willingness to experiment, to take risks and to trust in your unique voice.

Unlocking Your Creative Potential

Your birth chart holds clues to your creative strengths and challenges. By exploring the fifth house, your Sun sign and quintile aspects, you can gain deeper insights into your natural talents and how to nurture them. Creativity is not about perfection, but rather it’s about expression, exploration and joy. When you embrace your creative nature, you step into your power, share your gifts with the world and bring your unique vision to life.

Love

The Heart of a Meaningful Life

Love is a fundamental human need. It nourishes the soul, connects us to others and gives life depth and meaning. Love exists in many forms, each building upon the other to create a fulfilling and compassionate existence.

In astrology, love is symbolized by:

  • Venus: The planet of love, beauty and relationships, Venus, represents how you give and receive love.
  • The Fifth House: The 5th house of romance, passion and joyful connections.
  • The Seventh House: The 7th house of partnerships, marriage and long-term relationships.
  • The Twelfth House: The 12th house of unconditional love, sacrifice and spiritual connection.

Self-Love: The Foundation of All Love

Before you can truly love others, you must first love yourself.

Self-love is about:

  • Accepting yourself fully, flaws and all.
  • Prioritizing your well-being and happiness.
  • Setting boundaries that honor your needs.
  • Embracing your uniqueness without comparison.

Self-love is not selfish; it is essential. When you treat yourself with kindness and respect, you create a strong foundation for giving and receiving love in a healthy way.

Love for Others: Deep and Meaningful Connections

Once you cultivate self-love, you can extend that love to others.

Love for others includes:

  • Romantic Love: A deep emotional connection with a partner, filled with passion, trust and companionship.
  • Family Love: The bond shared with parents, children and relatives, providing a sense of belonging.
  • Friendship: The love of chosen family, those who support and uplift you.
  • Companion Love: If you do not have a special person in your life, you can still experience deep love through pets, community and kindred spirits.

Love for others is about connection, support and mutual respect. When you share love freely, it multiplies and enriches your life.

Universal Love: Embracing All Beings with Compassion

The highest form of love is universal love, the ability to love all people, all creatures and the world itself.

Universal love is:

  • Compassion for those in need.
  • Kindness to strangers without expectation.
  • Love for humanity, regardless of differences.
  • A sense of unity with the world and all living beings.

When you have self-love and meaningful personal connections, you can extend your love outward to the world. This is the love of humanity, nature and the greater universe.

The Journey of Love

Love is not just a feeling; it is an action, a way of living. It starts with self-love, deepens through connections with others and expands into universal love. When you embrace love in all its forms, you create a life filled with warmth, meaning and true fulfillment. 

Vision

The Guiding Light of Your Life

Vision is the ability to see beyond the present moment, to imagine a future filled with possibilities and to set your sights on greater things. It is the inner fire that fuels ambition, exploration and personal growth.

In astrology, vision is symbolized by:

  • The Ninth House: The 9th house of long-term goals, higher learning, philosophy and travel. It represents the bigger picture of life and the search for meaning.
  • Jupiter: The planet of expansion, wisdom and optimism. Jupiter encourages you to dream big, take risks and explore the unknown.
  • Sagittarius: The fire sign ruled by Jupiter is Sagittarius, embodying adventure, curiosity and the quest for truth.

Lifting Your Gaze to the Horizon

When you lift your eyes beyond the immediate concerns of daily life and look toward the horizon, you awaken your vision.

  • If you desire to travel, to see new places and to experience different cultures, you are embracing the ninth house energy of expansion.
  • If you seek knowledge, whether through formal education, personal study, or spiritual exploration, you are feeding your Jupiterian hunger for growth.
  • If you dream of a better future, whether in your career, relationships, or personal development, you are aligning with your higher vision.

Vision is about seeing beyond limitations and believing that something greater is possible.

Your Life-Journey and Vision

Your life is not just a series of random events, but rather it is a journey with a deeper purpose.

Your vision is the guiding force that shapes this journey.

  • What do you want to achieve?
  • Where do you want to go, both physically and spiritually?
  • What legacy do you want to leave behind?

These questions help you refine your vision and set intentions for the path ahead.

Hope: The Eternal Flame of Vision

Even in difficult times, when life feels like a struggle, vision provides hope.

  • If your daily routine feels dull, you can envision a brighter future and take small steps toward it.
  • If you feel stuck, you can broaden your perspective by learning, traveling, or engaging with new ideas.
  • If you have lost your way, you can reconnect with your dreams and set fresh goals.

As the saying goes, hope springs eternal. Vision is what keeps hope alive, reminding you that life is always moving forward and new opportunities are always on the horizon.

Embracing Your Vision

Vision is not just about seeing, it’s about believing, aspiring and taking action. It is the force that propels you toward your dreams and helps you shape a life filled with purpose and meaning. What does your birth chart reveal about your personal vision? Look to your ninth house and Jupiter to discover how you are meant to grow, explore and expand your world.

Money

The Energy of Exchange and Abundance

Money is a fundamental part of life. It is not just paper or numbers in a bank account, but it is energy, freedom and opportunity. Money allows you to survive, thrive and give back to the world in meaningful ways.

In astrology, money is symbolized by:

  • The Second House: The 2nd house of personal wealth, income and material resources.
  • The Eighth House: The 8th house of shared wealth, investments and financial transformation.
  • Your Money Houses and Planets: The special planets in your chart which rule your money houses, are aligned towards finances for the rest of your life.
  • Venus: The planet of value, luxury and financial attraction is Venus.
  • Jupiter: The planet of abundance and expansion, Jupiter, which can indicate financial growth and generosity.

Money flows in different stages of life. Understanding these stages can help you develop a healthy relationship with wealth and use it wisely.

Stage 1: Enough Money: Security and Stability

At the most basic level, you need enough money to live comfortably and meet your essential needs.

This includes:

  • Paying the rent or mortgage.
  • Putting food on the table.
  • Covering healthcare and education costs.
  • Ensuring financial security for yourself and your family.

This stage is about building stability, knowing that you have a solid foundation to support yourself. The second house in your birth chart reveals how you earn money and what financial security means for you.

Stage 2: Extra Money: Growth and Enjoyment

Once your basic needs are met, the next stage is having extra money to enhance your life.

Extra money allows you to:

  • Travel and experience new cultures.
  • Invest in higher education or personal development.
  • Enjoy hobbies, entertainment and a fulfilling social life.
  • Purchase things, shopping, that bring joy and comfort.

At this level, money becomes a tool for enrichment, expanding your experiences and improving your quality of life. Jupiter’s influence in your chart can indicate areas where you might attract financial abundance.

Stage 3: Contribution Money: Giving Back

The highest level of financial success is not just about personal wealth—it’s about contribution. Once you have enough for yourself, you can start helping others in meaningful ways.

Contribution money can be used to:

  • Start a business that provides jobs for others.
  • Fund charities, community projects, or global initiatives.
  • Support causes you believe in, from education to environmental efforts.
  • Make monthly donations, even small ones, to help those in need.

The second house in your chart reflects how you share wealth, whether through investments, philanthropy, or creating lasting change.

The Flow of Wealth

Money is not just about having; it is about circulating. The healthiest financial mindset is one that balances earning, spending, saving and giving.

  • Earning money allows you to create a stable life.
  • Spending money wisely brings joy and fulfillment.
  • Saving money ensures long-term security.
  • Giving money helps make the world a better place.

By understanding your birth chart’s financial indicators, you can align yourself with abundance and purpose, ensuring that money serves you rather than controls you.

Overarch

Bringing It All Together 

True wellbeing is a holistic experience that integrates your physical health, mental clarity, emotional stability and spiritual connection. By exploring these fundamentals in your birth chart, you can develop a deeper awareness of your strengths and challenges, helping you align with your higher self. When you nurture all the 5-components of your wellbeing, you create a life that is not only balanced and fulfilling but also purpose-driven and deeply satisfying. These five attributes combined go to make a satisfying life for you. What will you focus on this month?

Synodic Cycles in Astrology

Synodic Cycles in Astrology

by Alison Price

Synodic Cycles in Astrology

This post covers the principles of superior planet (excluding Mars) synodic cycles, and how they can be interpreted in a meaningful way for use in your astrology practice today.

Find out each planetary pair’s birth poin,t and where they fall in your chart.

See where we are in each cycle by phase.

Explore how the seeds of each cycle are played out over the years.


Synodic Cycles

Synodic cycles refer to the relationship between any two planets. A synodic cycle starts at the conjunction between two planets.

The chart for the conjunction shows the nature of the cycle as it unfolds.

The phases in which the planets are found describes the type of circumstances that can unfold during the phase.

Aspect Set for Synod Conjunction in the Natal Chart

Only use Ptolemaic aspects as follows:

  • Conjunction – orb 8°
  • Sextile – orb 4°
  • Square – orb 8°
  • Trine – orb 8°
  • Opposition – orb 8°

Synods

The word synod is from the Greek, synodos, which means “a traveling together”

Outer Planet Stellium

The last triple conjunction between the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) occurred at 8° through 11° Taurus, approximately between 576 and 575 B.C.

This was when Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, made a conjunction in Taurus. This triple conjunction occurs only every 120,000 years. This makes it the only one that relates to human evolution.

It was the most powerful stellium that has occurred in human history and heralded the beginning of writing, art and mathematics.

Uranus Neptune Pluto

This cycle represents an overlying patterning of collective human experience on a very long-term basis. The last mutual conjunction of these three planets was in 578-575 BCE in a very close succession of just a few years. Around this time the world reached a crucial junction point and some of history’s greatest teachers were alive around then.

Triple Conjunction Graphic Ephemeris

The graphic ephemeris at 90 for the triple conjunction that occurred in 576/575 BCE.

How to read this Graphic Ephemeris

The top x-axis has time and shows the years 576-574BCE.

The y-axis shows the cardinal signs from the top then fixed sign and then mutable signs. The sign Taurus is indicated and the three outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto and indicated by their glyph and the wavy lines are the planets actual movement through the zodiac.

Where two lines cross is a conjunction between two planets.

The three did not actually come to an exact conjunction but with an eight-degree orb for conjunctions, they are within orb for many months.

Working with Synodic Charts

Casting the Conjunction chart

When you cast the conjunction chart you have several options for each conjunction.

Previous conjunction

If there is only one conjunction, then that is the chart to read.

If there were three, five or conjunction then the last chart of the series is the chart you read.

Next conjunction

If there will be one conjunction, then read that chart.

If there will be a triple or multiple conjunctions (and therefore more than one chart) read the first chart until the conjunctions have passed and then read the final chart.


New Book Coming Soon

My new book “Synodic Cycles – Astrological Echoes from the Past” is in the final editing stages and will be published later this year.

It is a guide to working with synodic cycles in your charts and the chart of your clients.

The Part of Fortune

The Part of Fortune

There is a tide in the affairs of men,

which taken at the flood,

leads on to fortune.

~ Shakespeare

The Part Of Fortune

The Part of Fortune is a point in a birth chart.

There are may components in a birth chart like planets, aspects, houses, signs and points.

A chart point is a place in space and there is not an entity there like a planet.

Chart points usually displayed are the Lunar Nodes, the Vertex and the Part of Fortune.

This Post covers the basics of the Part of Fortune in your chart.

 

Points

The Part of Fortune is known as one of the Arabic parts in astrology. There are many other Arabic parts like the Part of Marriage and the Part of Divorce for example.

The Arabic Parts are also known as Greek Lots.

 

Pin this image to your Pinterest board.

The Part of Fortune Meaning

In a chart the poistion of the Part of Fortune represents the following:

 

  • Indicates good luck, grace and favor.
  • Suggests ease of wealth.
  • The house and sign indicate the quality of the fortune.
  • Consider the planetary ruler (of the sign) and its condition.

Calculating the Part of Fortune

There are two methods of calculating the position of the Part of Fortune whcih depends on your chart.

If you were born when the Sun is above the horizon it is a Daytime chart, if you were born when the Sun is below the horizon it is a nighttime chart.

 

Day and Night Charts

Daytime chart

A daytime chart is one where the Sun is placed above the horizon (in the south).

In a daytime chart the Part of Fortune is found where the Moon would be if the Sun were on the ascendant.

Nighttime chart

A night-time chart is one where the Sun is placed below the horizon (in the north).

In a nighttime chart the Part of Fortune is found where the Sun would be if the Moon were on the ascendant.

Calculation

There are two ways to calculate the Part of Fortune using the longitude degrees of the Sun, Moon and Ascendant

 

In a daytime chart

 

ASC – Sun + Moon = Part of Fortune

 

In a nighttime chart

 

ASC + Sun – Moon = Part of Fortune

Calculation Examples

Example: Ascendant at 10° Gemini, Moon at 20° Virgo, and Sun at 15° Aquarius.

 

Ascendant’s position         10° + 60° = 70°

Moon’s position              20° + 150° = 170°

Sun’s position                 15° + 300° = 315°  

Daytime Chart Calculation

 If: ASC + Moon – Sun = Part of Fortune

Then:   70° + 170°  – 315° = POF

                                           -75° = POF

                                  -75° + 360° = POF

                                           285°  = POF

     (Capricorn 270°) so 285° – 270° = POF

Capricorn 15° = Part of Fortune

 

Nighttime Chart Calculation

If: ASC – Moon + Sun = Part of Fortune

Then: 70° – 170° + 315° = POF

                                             215° = POF

         (Scorpio 210°) so 215° – 210° = POF  

                                     Scorpio 05° = POF

The PoF and Money

The Part of Fortune has much to say about financial issues because in our society money is fortune.

That is not to say that your fortune cannot come in other guises like fortunate spouses, children or friends.

That fortune is often better when it is not financially related is quite clear to many New Age travelers.

We will consider the Part of Fortune as a financial indicator in your chart.

 

The Condition of the Part of Fortune

The Part of Fortune is well placed for finances when it is:

  • In a money house – 2nd, 5th, 8th or 11th.
  • In Taurus or Libra – Venus’ signs.
  • Conjoined the Sun.
  • Conjoined Venus or Jupiter.
  • Trine Venus or Jupiter.
  • Sextile Venus of Jupiter.
  • In an angular house 1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th.
  • Trine the ruler of the second house or the other money houses.

The Part of Fortune is poorly placed when it is:

  • In a cadent house – 3rd, 6th, 9th or 12th.
  • Square or opposite the traditional malefic planets (Mars or Saturn).
  • Has a retrograde sign ruler.

Sign

The sign that the part of fortune is in shows the nature of the fortune in line with the meaning of the sign.

 

Sign Ruler

The planet that rules the sign – the dispositor of the part of fortune may help or hinder the fortune.

 

Aspects to the Part of Fortune

The Part of Fortune is an interesting point of the astrological puzzle.

A thorough understanding of the main parts of a chart are needed to understand the Part of Fortune.

The Part of Fortune is one of those things that, if it is not well-placed, it does nothing and if it is well-placed will do much for the person whose chart it is.

Conjunctions

Any planet conjoined the part of fortune will influence the nature of the fortune.

This is the powerful influence for the person’s fortune.

A conjunction to the part of fortune can sometimes overshadow the sign and the sign ruler because the planet is well-placed.

 

Oppositions the Squares 

Either an opposition or a square from any planet to the part of fortune will modify the nature of the fortune.

This shows challenges along the way towards your fortune.

Squares and opposition from Mars or Saturn will be detrimental to easy money flow.

You will have to overcome monetary hurdles in life and income will probably improve with age.

 

Trines and Sextiles 

Either a trine or a sextile from any planet to the part of fortune will modify the nature of the fortune to your benefit.

Venus trine the part of fortune indicates wealth in general.

This person is fortunate indeed.

Pluto trine the part of fortune may bring wealth from others.

This placement will alleviate most debt raised.

 

Closest (tightest) Ptolemaic Aspect to the Part of Fortune

The closest Ptolemaic aspect to the Part of Fortune, the meaning of the aspect and the planet making the aspect, is of vital important and indicates the nature of the fortune.

Extend Yourself

In your astrology journal and refering to your chart, please do the following:

  • Decide if you have a daytime or a night-time chart.
  • Calculate your Part of Fortune position.
  • List your Part of Fortune complex.
  • Find the tightest Ptolemaic aspect to the Part of Fortune.

Extend Yourself Furthur

  • Interpret your Part of Fortune considering the sign, house, dispositor, and aspects (100 words).

Conjunction

Conjunction

The Conjunction Aspect

The conjunction is a major aspect and also known as a Ptolemaic aspect.

Two planets close to each other are conjunct. The orb for a conjunction is 8° only.

This is a good placement for most planets as the two planets blend their energies and you can benefit from this joining of forces.

 

First harmonic

The circle divided by one. 360°/1 = 360°

Usually, planets in conjunction will be in the same sign or house.

 

Disassociate conjunctions

When a conjunction occurs over a sign boundary they are said to be in a disassociate conjunction.

For instance, if the Sun is at 29 Virgo and the Moon is at 4 Libra they are still conjunct, but in a disassociate conjunction.

 

Conjunction Aspect Meaning

The conjunction is the most powerful aspect.

Blends It inclines the two planets towards togetherness and blends their energies.

Synergy The planets virtually move as one and they have synergy. Synergy means one plus one equals three. Each planet is indistinguishable from the other.

Close proximity They show the same face to the world. Because of their close proximity, it is hard for the first planet in the conjunction to clearly see the second planet and vice versa.

Conjunctions with other planets

Sun conjunctions add life to the other planet.

Moon conjunctions combine a reactive element to the other planet.

Mercury conjunctions combine a learning element to the other planet and suggest what is spoken about.

Venus conjunctions show what is loved and invested in.

Mars conjunctions bring energy to the other planet.

Jupiter conjunctions expand the other planet.

Saturn conjunctions restrict the other planet.

Uranus conjunctions bring a unique element to the other planet.

Neptune conjunctions dissolve the meaning of the other planet.

Pluto conjunctions bring power and support to the other planet.

Virgos are discriminating and want perfection in life. You are kind, meticulous, fastidious, even, and can be detailed oriented.

Virgo is the sign of those who serve and you are good in this role. You are modest and humble and make excellent workers.

There are more Virgo births than any other sign. Those born under the sign of the virgin are the workers of the zodiac and are often placed in supporting roles.

You do not like being put on the spot and will resist leadership when it is offered to you. It’s like a beehive with one queen bee – the Leo and many worker bees – the Virgos.

About Mercury

Mercury is one of the key planets in astrological interpretation, and it holds a special place in shaping an individual’s personality, communication style, and thought processes.

In simple terms, Mercury is associated with the way you think, speak, and process information.

Let’s delve into this with a gentle and caring approach.

 

Podcast Episodes

Listen to our latest podcast episodes and learn about the planet MERCURY and how you can interpret it in your charts.

In these episode,s Alison and Arwynne discuss all about Mercury in your chart.

They share some keywords and how this personal planet expresses itself in each sign and house.

Influence

Mercury is often described as the planet of communication and intellect.

It influences how we express ourselves, how we learn, and how we perceive the world around us.

Imagine Mercury as the cosmic messenger, delivering the thoughts and ideas from the depths of your mind to the outside world.

Communicates and Learns

Mercury’s position in your birth chart plays a significant role in shaping your communication style and learning preferences.

It affects how you process information, make decisions, and interact with others.

If Mercury is strong in your chart, you may find it easier to convey your artistic ideas and connect with people who share your creative passions.

On the other hand, if Mercury is challenged, you might face hurdles in effective communication, which can be a valuable area for personal growth in your artistic pursuits.

Sign

The zodiac sign in which Mercury resides in your birth chart adds another layer of complexity.

Each sign bestows certain characteristics and qualities upon Mercury.

For instance, if Mercury is in a fiery sign like Aries, you might have an energetic and assertive way of expressing your artistic ideas.

If it’s in a watery sign like Pisces, your art could be deeply intuitive and emotionally charged.

House

Furthermore, the house placement of Mercury in your chart determines the specific areas of life where you channel your creative and communicative energies.

If Mercury is in the 5th house, which is traditionally associated with creativity, your artistic endeavors are likely to be a significant part of your life and identity.

Aspects

Mercury’s aspects to other planets in your chart also influence your artistic journey.

Positive aspects like trines and sextiles can enhance your ability to communicate and create, while challenging aspects like squares and oppositions may require extra effort in order to harmonize your artistic expression with your inner self.

Mercury and Art

In astrology, Mercury isn’t just about words; it’s about the entire spectrum of communication, including the silent language of art.

It’s the gentle whisper in your ear, guiding you through the intricate dance of colors and forms.

By understanding your Mercury placement and its aspects, you can gain insight into your artistic strengths and areas where you can improve.

The Moon, Your Mother and Food

The Moon, Your Mother and Food

Author: Alison Price   –   Published: September 2018   –   Revised: July 2024

The Moon, Your Mother and Food

The Moon in astrology serves as a significant indicator of how you experienced your mother and your relationship with food.

Your Moon sign offers insights into how your mother influenced your eating habits and emotional responses related to nourishment.

While a comprehensive analysis of your lunar chart is essential for a detailed understanding, starting with your Moon sign can provide valuable initial insights.

 

Your Moon Sign and Eating Habits

Your Moon sign represents your instinctive reactions and emotional needs, which are often shaped by early childhood experiences, especially those involving your mother.

The nurturing you received and the habits formed during those formative years play a crucial role in your relationship with food.

When you think back to your childhood, the comfort foods you reach for today are often those associated with early habits and the emotional patterning established by your nurturing environment.

These foods are linked to memories and feelings of comfort and security, which were instilled by your mother or primary caregiver.

Revisiting Childhood Memories

Imagine sitting at the kitchen table as a child.

Try to recall the sounds, smells, and feelings from those moments.

Perhaps you can still hear your mother’s voice, reminding you to eat your vegetables, or the aroma of a favorite dish she used to prepare.

These memories are not just nostalgic; they are integral to understanding your emotional connection to food.

Analyzing the Lunar Complex

While your Moon sign provides an initial understanding, a full analysis of the lunar complex in your natal chart is necessary to uncover deeper insights.

This includes examining aspects, house placement, and other factors that influence how your emotional needs and eating habits were shaped.

By reflecting on these early experiences and exploring your Moon sign, you can gain a better understanding of your current relationship with food and how it ties back to your childhood and your mother’s influence.

This awareness can help you make more conscious choices about your eating habits and emotional responses, leading to a more balanced and nurturing relationship with food.

Moon Signs: A Mother’s Influence on Eating Habits

Moon in Aries Mother

“Eat it while it’s hot,” she commands as she places a sizzling plate in front of you.

Her fiery energy infuses meals with urgency and a sense of immediacy, encouraging you to enjoy the moment and not let anything go to waste.

Moon in Taurus Mother

“Don’t gulp your meal. Take your time and taste the food,” she advises.

Her nurturing revolves around savoring and appreciating each bite, creating a slow and deliberate eating experience that emphasizes quality over quantity.

 

Moon in Gemini Mother

“Hurry up and finish your dinner, I want the table for our jigsaw puzzle,” she says, drumming her fingers.

Her multi-tasking nature often leads to meals being a quick affair, making way for the next intellectual or social activity.

Moon in Cancer Mother

“I prepared your favorite recipe, so when you eat it, it will make me feel good,” she murmurs, patting your hand.

Her emotional connection to food is strong, and she finds joy in nurturing through homemade comfort meals that evoke feelings of security and love.

Moon in Leo Mother

“I have created yet another culinary masterpiece in my kitchen. I have put my heart into the preparation of your meal. I hope you appreciate it. Eat up,” she declares dramatically.

Her meals are grand expressions of her love, and she seeks recognition and appreciation for her efforts in the kitchen.

Moon in Virgo Mother

“Everything in this meal is healthy, so clean your plate,” she insists, meticulously checking a food values label.

Her attention to detail ensures that meals are nutritious and balanced, promoting a disciplined approach to eating.

Moon in Libra Mother

“I’ll make a deal with you: If you eat your veggies, we can have cake,” she proposes, sitting opposite you.

Her balanced approach to meals often includes negotiations and compromises, creating a harmonious dining experience.

Moon in Scorpio Mother

“Don’t waste food, people in the world are dying of starvation. Eat up,” she says, watching you closely.

Her intensity and awareness of deeper issues translate into a no-nonsense attitude towards meals and a strong emphasis on not wasting food.

Moon in Sagittarius Mother

“I’m trying a new-fangled recipe, what do you think? Oh, please have some more, I made plenty.

In fact, there is enough so I can take what’s left to the big hall meeting later tonight,” she exclaims enthusiastically.

Her adventurous spirit shines through in her culinary experiments and generosity.

Moon in Capricorn Mother

“I’m tired of cooking you the same old meals every day, but tradition is tradition, so eat what I say.

I am your mother (and therefore the food authority),” she states firmly.

Her adherence to tradition and authority makes meals a structured and predictable affair.

Moon in Aquarius Mother

“I have to dash out to my book club, but you can find something to eat, can’t you?

There is cold pizza in the fridge,” she says, standing at the door.

Her unconventional and independent nature often leads to a more laissez-faire approach to meals, encouraging self-sufficiency.

Moon in Pisces Mother

“I have had to sacrifice to provide this meal. If you don’t eat it, I will be upset,” she softly says.

“But, I fed you only yesterday!”

Her empathetic and sometimes sacrificial approach to nurturing can make meals a deeply emotional experience, often tied to her own feelings of sacrifice and care.

New Moon Wishing

Every Month

New Moon Wishing is a ritual you can practice every month that brings the meaning of each New Moon alive for you and relates it to your life.

The next New Moon will be at a particular degree in a sign and will be in one of the twelve houses of your chart.

By making wishes at the New Moon that correlate closely to your chart you can tap into the energy of the cosmos in a specific way.

 

The Cycle of New Moons

There is a New Moon about every twenty-nine days and that typically makes one New Moon each Month.

 

Two New Moons in a Month

But, each year there may be a month with two New Moons.

For example, back in August 2019 there were two New Moons. The first New Moon is on the first of August and the second New Moon is on the thirtieth of August.

 

Two New Moons in a Sign

Now and then there may be a zodiac sign with two New Moons.

Aries 2023

For example, in 2023 there were two new Moons in one sign that of Aries the Ram.

Check and see where the next New Moon will be in the zodiac. Then find the natal house in your chart where the position of the next New Moon will occur.

Each month the New Moon will likely move to the next house of your chart but it does depend on your chart’s houses.

If you have an intercepted sign it could skip one house altogether. If you have wide houses there could be two New Moon in the same house for two months in a row.

Solar Eclipses

New Moons that are also solar eclipses can be more energizing for that month’s wishing.

Your Natal Houses

Find the house in which the next New Moon will occur.

Make three to five wishes in line with the meaning of you New Moon house.

Write them on a nice piece of paper and have these wishes ready and prepared before the New Moon.

Suggested New Moon Wishes

Here are some suggested wishes for a New Moon in your natal chart houses. You can add more wishes and modify the ones you like.

Let your inspiration guide you.

New Moon in your first house

  • I wish I was…
  • I wish my self-confidence was…
  • I wish I was more authentic in…

New Moon in your second house

  • I wish my income was…
  • I wish the value I place on people and things was…
  • I wish my self-esteem was…

New Moon in your third house

  • I wish that I will spend more time in my local area so I can…
  • I wish that my commute was…

New Moon in your fourth house

  • I wish that my family was happy, healthy and…
  • I wish for a nice home that is…
  • I wish to thank my ancestors and parents for…

New Moon in your fifth house

  • I wish for children who are happy, healthy and…
  • I wish I took my creativity more seriously so I can…
  • I wish I could enjoy my leisure time and spend it doing…

New Moon in your sixth house

  • I wish to have simple daily rituals that…
  • I wish for robust health, a strong physique and the strength to…
  • I wish I had a job that…

New Moon in your seventh house

  • I wish for a business partner who has the skills of…
  • I wish that I treated other people…

  • I wish to have financial support available for…
  • I wish that people will take my side regarding…
  • I wish that my intimate life was…

New Moon in your ninth house

  • I wish to read and know more about…
  • I wish I could go on a journey so I can…
  • I wish that I could advertise and promote my…

New Moon in your tenth house

  • I wish my career would…
  • I wish that what I am known for in the public domain is…
  • I wish I was accomplished and recognized for…

New Moon in your eleventh house

  • I wish my friends were…
  • I wish I could support the group of…
  • I wish my social circle was…

New Moon in your twelfth house

  • I wish to withdraw from life for a while and…
  • I wish I could look after and curate…
  • I wish to confine myself for a time so I can…

At The New Moon

At the moment of the New Moon place a candle in your window and say your wishes out loud. Then place the paper with your wishes on it on the windowsill underneath or next to the candle. If possible let the candle burn a while or even overnight.

  

Your Astrology Journal

In your astrology journal note the date and the degree of the New Moon and make any notes later in that cycle if there was anything to mention.

Say how and when your wishes came true.

New Moon Annual Forecasting

New Moon Wishing and the positions of each New Moon can (and should) be a part of your annual astrology predictions and year-end astrology review.

You can get all the forecast information together for yourself towards the end of each year in November or December so you are all ready for the New Year.

Next Year

When you get a next year’s calendar, diary or journal that is the time to add the astrological information which really interests you.

Professional astrologers typically have whole years of forecasting material ahead so they are fully prepared.

I usually have all major transits and therefore New Moons listed for up to five years ahead.

This practice is more about that I write horoscopes so far in advance for publications who need to be months and even years ahead.

You can do one month at a time to start with and perhaps one day you too will look further ahead.
