Every year, the Sun returns to the exact position it occupied at the moment of your birth. This return marks the start of a new personal solar cycle.
The chart cast for that moment is called the Solar Return.
It lets you explore the main astrological trends of the year ahead, the areas of life in the spotlight and the configurations that accompany this new stage of your journey.
With Astraema, you can calculate your Solar Return for the year of your choice.
Your birthday always falls on the same date, but the astrological return of the Sun can happen a few hours before or after.
Astraema calculates the exact moment the Sun returns to its natal longitude for the selected year.
Your Solar Return chart wheel is then cast for that particular moment, with its planetary positions, houses and angles.
Are you spending your birthday at home, in another city or abroad?
The location chosen for your Solar Return affects the calculation of the Ascendant, the Midheaven and the houses.
With Astraema, you can select the location of your choice and see how the structure of the chart wheel changes depending on the place.
A Solar Return really comes into its own when you relate it to your birth chart.
Astraema lets you layer up to three chart wheels: your Solar Return, your birth chart, your progressed chart or the transits for a given date.
You can then examine how the different configurations correspond and how they fit together around the same period.
As with Astraema's other astrological calculations, you can choose a classic, karmic or angle-focused view.
With focus, one click on a planet is all it takes to isolate its aspects and concentrate on a specific configuration.
Up to three objects can be selected at once.
A new Solar Return every year, to explore the astrological cycles that accompany your journey.
