Common Asks

✦

What is a solar return chart?

A solar return chart is cast for the exact moment each year when the Sun returns to the precise position it held at your birth — right around your birthday. It is a fresh sky-map for your personal new year, showing the themes, focus, and emotional weather of the twelve months from one birthday to the next.

Why does location matter for my solar return?

The solar return is cast for wherever you are when the Sun comes home. Because the ascendant and the houses depend on your location, spending your birthday in a different city genuinely reshapes the chart — moving the emphasis into different areas of life. That is why we ask where you'll be, not just where you were born.

Should I read this year's chart or my next birthday's?

If your birthday has already passed this year, read this year's chart to understand the season you're already living. If your next birthday is coming up soon and you want to prepare, choose your next birthday to preview the year ahead. You can toggle between the two and cast either one for free.

Do I need my exact birth time?

Your solar return works without an exact birth time — the Sun's return and the overall themes are still accurate. Adding a precise birth time simply sharpens the houses and angles of the chart, so the reading can be even more specific about which areas of life light up. Without it, take the house placements as softer, more symbolic guidance.

Is this really free?

Yes — your solar return chart wheel and a short reading of the year ahead are completely free. The full year reading of roughly two thousand words, your best place in the USA with its own reading, and the interactive US and world map are the paid upgrade, for those who want to go deeper.
