Aimed Solar and Lunar Returns


So by all means, remember to calculate your Solar Return chart to get insights into what's been, what is, and what will be. If you want to explore the subject of the Solar Return chart in greater depth, please check out The Solar Return and How It Relates To our Birthday, since it's an in-depth look at many things I haven't covered here about this important moment in time that happens to everyone once each year throughout our life.

March 30, Permalink. Valerie March 30, at Ilse March 30, at My solar return this year has Venus exactly conjunct down to the minute, 15 degrees 45 minutes to my natal Sun. I am feeling it to be an auspicious day. A little concerned about the Moon-Pluto conjunction square Uranus but it seems a sign of the times. Maybe it depends on one's definition of auspicious? Brian March 30, at Hi Robert having followed your thread and insights for a while now and having learned some valuable info.

I'm quite delighted you touched on the subject of SR's. Now there seems to be some controversy over aimed SR's. Celeste Teal is strongly against it, she says that the moment you return to your place of residence the return for the place of residence takes over. She has set out to prove this using my SR chart for Aug.

That year in Oct. I met a man from Buffalo N. I won't go into details but it was a fairytale romance, we got engaged by Christmas and in Feb. The one for Ottawa where I reside tells the story. So I'm not sure about Aimed SR's. Like Celeste says you can run but you can't hide. I would be interested on your opinion and your thoughts since I am a student of Astrology and every bit of info.

Sophia Basta March 30, at Hi all - Thanks for the wishes. Yes, "auspicious" is in the eye of the beholder. As for "aimed SR charts," I have found them completely accurate over the decades I've done them. The thing about SR charts is that we do not read them as we would a natal chart per se; we look at where our natal rulers of the various houses fall in the SR chart.

The SR chart is a frozen moment in time. We can only be where we are. I tend to progress according to natal birth place since they are symbolic measurements. I look at transits relative to where we are since that's a "real time" circumstance. The SR is a transit moment; that's why wherever our body and breath happen to be is where the chart is done. I have found that changing locations, and therefore changing the degrees on the angles and often the house positions, exactly indicates the experience of the year too many times to dismiss it simply because one astrologer asserts otherwise.

One conundrum to what Celeste asserts: I am doing my SR at my residence in NM; I am about to change residence to another state in the near future, but will be going back and forth between residences. I've always had two, and sometimes three residences simultaneously. Surely the picture and therefore patterns of a past frozen moment in time cannot miraculously shift simply because I change what state I happen to be in at any given moment.

If so, then our life patterns and responses are entirely conditioned by where we are. I do not believe we are that influenced by outer conditions. What is in the past and written is already part of frozen time; we cannot change the past simply by changing locations in the present. If we experienced the death of a loved one at a certain place and time, we do not change our orientation toward that death simply by moving to a different location, though that orientation will be modified over time due to our internal movement.

We do take ourselves wherever we go. A point of resonance affects the pattern of consciousness; that impression doesn't change simply because we move from A to B after the imprint has occurred. A logical corollary to her assertion would be that though your college graduation happened at a certain moment in Austin, Texas, that by moving to Los Angeles 25 years later it made the chart of the Austin experiences derived from that graduation irrelevant, and that a more important indicator would be a chart for graduating in LA.

It also keeps Saturn out of the 3rd, which I note that your book mentions is detrimental to writing and I plan on doing lots of writing in the upcoming year. Thank you so very much for your review of my situation, and your useful comments. It is interesting for me to see now how clearly you state your principles in your book - I could have come to the same conclusions on my own, but once you imbue your own emotions into a chart, it becomes so much more difficult to see clearly.

I sincerely appreciate your help and will update you this year on how the chart manifests. Please feel free to post this on your wonderful blog! Dear Nervous Taurus, as you can see we are a very nice family! Did you think how many good astrologers were able to help. Pino, Luigi, Celeste are indeed special astrologers able to discover every possible path to go in every little village on Earth. It is worth the trouble if you were to have a better year! Dear Deva, please write in English so we are sure to understand well what you say to us.

I hope that you understood well my last speech on Lunar Returns: I see that your parents think you are crazy, but you are moving across only two hours in longitude: Many of us move their birthdays by as much as 12 hours of longitude! I was glad to see yesterday, some good friends at the conference. Some expressed their disappointment saying that they are never able to ask questions of me directly.

But when I am available for the public, they are invariably not present…. A day of exhaustion but satisfaction March 20th Deva A day of exhaustion but satisfaction. After more than half a day of walking, I got very near to the most eastern point of Ireland for my RSM: I enjoyed the walk, and got excited when I saw sheep having green dye sprinkled on them. I thought they were clover shaped, and that I finally found some typical Irish sheep, but later, I found some of them were dyed purple, red and blue.

But last minute recheck told me that: Did I tell you that I plan to apply for medical school next year? The location of the light house in the east should be located closer to Wicklow Head, instead of right at the sea as on google earth. The two light houses are definitely much closer. Because I walked south 2 minutes from the west lighthouse, and caught the view of both light houses on my camera. I hope that Venus will be within 2. Speaking of LR, I have wonderful experience with Venus in 3rd house.

I seem to have infinite capacity to absorb information and study tirelessly it may work in concert with transit Jupiter sextile my Mercury. But in your experience, comparing venus with jupiter, which one will have more beneficial effect as to obtain excellent marks in exams? Also compared 3rd house with the 9th? If I have the protection from a good SR, will it be okay to put LR saturn in 10th house, in order to have both venus and jupiter in 3rd? I think the philosophy between homeopathic and RSM is similar: But homeopathic can hardly explain the scientific aspect of RSM. We all know that RSM works, however, it is not relevant to dosage, and how about the active ingredients?

Dear Deva, I think that you are torturing yourself with some queries that have no sense. You decided, in the last months, that your birth data is changed by about 8 minutes. You must be patient and dilligent in your study of astrology. Probably you were born in a different hour and you will discover that Venus was exactly on your Dublin Mid Heaven!

Saturn in the 10th House is indeed bad: Remember that at this moment your primary focus is your studies and it would be good to have Jupiter close to the Mid Heaven of your Lunar Return Map than in any other position. In my opinion, now that you have a good Aimed Solar Return - enjoy it, until another new good Aimed Solar Return comes up.

I am glad that you are pursuing the the study of the correspondence between Astrology and Homeopathy. In my lastest English book, there is a chapter on it. Here in Italy, only two or three people have evinced interest in it. Best wishes for your birthday that is to come soon! I will try to answer to your many questions and will begin by using an example to answer for your first query.

Walter Veltroni was an important political leader in Italy. We use this system to study Solar Returns and I am not able to suggest to you in which way you can operate with the Solar Fire Software to watch two maps together. Some months ago I wrote a forecast for him, mentioning that he had a very very bad conjunction Mars-Saturn in the seventh House of his Solar Return, together with the Ascendant of Solar Return in the tenth House of the Natal Chart it is a dangerous position if detrimental transits are present during the year.

I wrote, in this blog, that he would certainly be out of his important political position before his next birthday, about the end of January In the Active Astrology School, we use different systems to see in which part of the year will the forecasts made on the basis of the Solar Return Map would actually happen. Some of them are in my books that are not in English. Another good system is a software AstralDetector that I cannot sell out of Italy. But there is another of my books in English that you can read and that can help you to give a date to the events of a year: In fact, he was hardly active poliyically by the end of January and the predicted fall came to pass on February 17th.

In our experience we have seen that the planetary aspects in a Solar or in a Lunar Return are inconsequential, when compared to the positions of the asters in the Houses of Solar Return of Lunar Return. Splendid Venus in the sixth House March 31st Neena: Respected Sir, Thank you for answering some of my queries. I have another question for you.

He also recommends having harmonious aspect between a planet in a particular house to the planet which rules the house. Reading your book tells me that you would prefer that no planets be there in the negative Houses of 12th, 1st and 6th, and even 8th not considered favorable. So here is an example: Female on Nov 19th at Ambala, India at 5: I wanted to have the 9th House of publishing, travel to be excellent along with good health. However Pluto is Trine to Ascendant.

I also wanted the native to have good health but I see Saturn in 6th and Uranus 5 degrees away from conjunction of 12th House cusp plus we have Moon in 8th has excellent aspects including a Quintile to Ascendant. I am also worried that Saturn in 6th may cause more occupational work load. I also worry because of the positions of the following planets: Mercury conjunct 8th House cusp, less than 5 degrees , Uranus conjunct 12th House cusp at about 5 degrees, Neptune conjunct 11th House cusp, Jupiter also conjunct 11th House cusp by less than 4 degrees.

But all the planets have positive aspect to Ascendant and Midheaven. Uranus though has a semi-square to the Ascendant. Moving the chart to other locations like Madhuri, or Calcutta in India, causes Mars to square ascendant and I also see T-square. Could you kindly tell me what is your take on this chart?

Can the planets behave positively even though they are conjunct the cusp since they have positive aspects to the Ascendant and Midheaven? Saturn, though being in 6th House, is Sextile to the ruler of the House - Mercury. I know you said that Mars in any house is bad.

💥WORKING WITH LUNAR RETURNS **VIDEO FOR INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS**

But again Mars in 4th House is trine to Moon which is ruler of 4th House and is in positive aspect to Sun. Could you give me your advise as to what you think I should do? Natal Midheaven falls in the 3rd House of SR. On this platform, we refer to each other by name. I have studied the things that you asked of me. I advise you Varanasi, India but I am able to find other excellent locations out of India , with a splendid Venus in the sixth House and a Jupiter in the tenth House in a large conjunction with Mid Heaven. After thousands and thousands of practical checks I understood that I have to read a Solar Return charts in a different way.

I give very high importance to the aspects in a Natal Chart and I think, for example, that a Jupiter trine to the Mid-Heaven is a very good thing. However with Solar Returns, I have seen that the effective value of aspects is about zero on a scale of 0 to I hope that I am able to offer you an example that could convince you in the future. A confirmation of this assertion is possible even with a Lunar Return. Project a Solar Return and make sure to leave empty the second and the 8th Houses.

Place Venus in the second House, for example, with only bad aspects: Next year, carry out a new experiment. Leave the second and the eight Houses empty. Place a very good Saturn, with many splendid aspects trines, sextiles, etc. Twelve months later you will able to see that the subject has had a very bad year for money.

You will find many rules, in my book, that will seem strange to you, but putting them to practice will confirm their veracity. Respected Sir, Thank you for your very valued opinion. I also have to admit that reading the books by Merriman has drilled into my head the need for good aspects to Ascendant and MC and to try and eliminate the T-squares, Grand cross that show up. But I also find your book fascinating and am learning a lot every day. That is why I was looking in that area.

She also works and this would be her first book. The only concern I have with Milan, Italy is the conjunction of Uranus to the 2nd House cusp within 2 degrees. I know that you do not like to see planets in the 1st House but I have Jupiter and Neptune here. Sun is conjunct the MC and Venus is in 9th House of publishing. Saturn of course sits in the 8th House which is not necessarily a good place for the planet. No negative planets near or in 12th and 6th Houses. Also, Grand trine, stellium and 4 point stellium exist of course in some cases with Chiron.

Varanasi definitely has better planetary position than Jaiselmer, India, but again I am worried about the squares and semi-squares to AS and MC. I am not finding any good locations in countries that are safe and close to India like Singapore or Thailand.

I do like Milan a lot other than the problems I have specified. I am looking at major cities for ease of flying in and flying out. I am looking forward to hearing your esteemed opinion on this issue. In my experience all aspects of a Solar Return are inconsequential. But it is not my intention to forcibly convince you. I think that the best thing, for everyone, is to test practically the rules of a Solar Return as stated in my books.

You are absolutely right about the aspects to Midheaven and Ascendant, and of a planet to its ruler not working.

Thanks for your advise as always. To answer your second question, I will say that I consider Reinhold Ebertin the most important expert on the planetary aspects and, from to today, I have seen that his surmise on the subject has been almost invariably correct. Should the Solar Return be changed? Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. This was against my principles:

As I have been talking to you, I went back and researched a friend who wanted to improve his business in and had a terrible year in Here are the details: Ravi, Date of birth: Jan 5th at His business and contacts are improving significantly but he is now suffering from health problems. He had severe allergies this year. He usually refuses to take medications but has to now pop Claritin due to the seasonal allergy. His knee had been bothering him and got worse this year and he recently had a MRI and is going to go for physical therapy most probably for the next six months.

The malefic Saturn is within a degree of conjunction to 6th House. Uranus is conjunct to 12th House cusp within 3 degrees and Moon is in the 12th House conjunct the Ascendant within 5 degrees. Neptune Ruler of 12th and Uranus both have a good aspect on Ascendant. I think that the Saturn conjunction is causing all the allergy problems. The accident scare may have been Uranus in the 12th House cusp. For coming year , I was going to relocate him to Costa Rica for the coming year but the planets are again in 12th and 6th and a Mars conjunction which could lead to an accident even though as you can see the aspects are really good.

So after reading your book and your infinitely precious advice on this blog, I am thinking of relocating him to Olinda, Brazil which seems to look good. Pluto of course is in 8th House but not conjunct any cusp. I would have liked to see the Sun and Mercury conjunct the MC for really good results. Salvador, Barzil does not have the T-square but Moon will be conjunct the 5th House cusp. Please shower some words of wisdom on this. In case of the other chart: Nov 19th at 5: I have decided to take your advise and find another relocation spot. I do want her to be able to successfully publish a book and for it to do well.

If you have any advice, kindly let me know. I think that the many problems of Ravi have a only single name: I advise you to avoid, for him, Costa Rica, because there he would have a stellium in the eight House, which is like having Ascendant in the 12th House. I found two Nagars in India, but no Nagar Kurnool, but the two Nagars that I found are fairly close, geographically speaking.

I hope that I am not in error. I understand your problem, primarily caused by reading books by many authors, which can be quite confusing. Let me give you a brief overview of my travails over the last four decades in my persistent attempt to popularize Active Astrology. In , when I began to push my relatives and friends to move their Solar Returns, everyone that I knew in the field of astrology, said that I was crazy.

Some merely scoffed at my ideas, while some others actively opposed them. You can find details of such exchanges recorded in books, magazines in public and private libraries, deliberations of conferences where I explaied my thoughts and results of my research, since that time. In recent years, however, suddenly and unexpectedly I find old antagonists stating that moving a Solar Return to an appropriate place is the obvious thing to do and that they have always been practising this.

But their claims have no bearing, no written testimony. They write books on the subject today, without the foundation that I have established by sending over 20, people across 39 years for Aimed Birthdays. Whatever that I have said so far should not be construed to be an attempt on my part to force you into becoming an adherent of my school of thought. I only wish to advice you to check the rules advocated by different authors yourself and decide where the truth is.

Respected Ciro, Thanks for your message. I continued working on the solar return for Ravi this morning and I have a couple of doubts. On Jan 4th at Also, Saturn is in the 6th and Uranus is in the 12th House at this location. Jupiter and Neptune are in the 10th House. No planets in 6th and 12th. Only Pluto is in the 8th. I appreciate your feedback.

OK, now, with the right latitudes and longitudes we have the exact maps. I confirm to you that the very difficult moment of Ravi has a only single name: You have my compliments for the Solar Return of Olinda: You have only to move the planets a bit toward west to avoid 3 asters in the 8th House, but saving Venus in the 8th is good for money gains. We will now look into the charts of your other friend born in November. I suggest two locations for this subject: In both of them, we have a good Jupiter in the tenth House.

In the Cocos Map we have Mars in the third House a few damages and a good Venus in the sixth House a good protection for health, occupation, work relations. In the Nagpur map, we have Mars in the fourth House possibility of a hospitalization , but we have Venus on the DS line minus of 2.

This position is excellent because Venus is able to save, contemporarily, health, occupation, work relations, law, partner relations, love, marriage, commercial relations, audience… It is, in my opinion, one of the best positions in an Aimed Solar Return. I hope you are satisfied. Sun conjunct the Descendent April 4th Neena: Respected Ciro, Thank you for your guidance. I love the returns. I do have a question for you. Also, if Mars is conjunct the IC i. Is it the same as having Mars in the 4th or does it do more damage? Respected Ciro, Once again thank you for your quick response.

I am going to ask all my questions here again. If Mars is conjunct the IC, greater than 2. Is it same as having Mars in 4th or does it do more damage? I am working on the Solar Return of another individual who has been through a very rough life so far. His date of birth: Jan 4th at 3: He cannot go beyond India for his Solar Return. It would be too expensive for him. When I looked at his Solar Return in the place he currently is Vishakhapatnam, India , it has a stellium in 12th House and two planets in 1st.

So, I have relocated him to Port Blair, India. Uranus in 2nd, over 2. Mars conjunct the DS but over 2. But the stellium has now moved to 11th House. What is your advise with regard to this chart? He got a call recently from his ex-wife that she was planning to go to court in the near future for the custody of her son who is currently residing with this individual. Thanks for your advise as always. Here are my answers to two of your questions. Let me first explain what is precisely meant by the term 2. Is it the same as having Mars in 4th or does it do more damage?

If Mars is in the third House, greater than 2. If Mars is in the fourth House with a distance, from IC, greater than 2. I use this example to explain another point: It is almost correct, but not completely. For example, Mars in the tenth House pushes the efforts of the subject to find greater emancipation, in that year, and than it could be very good to learn a new language.

Yet it is also true that in that year, almost surely, the subject will have problems due to his mother or mother-in-law. There is another point to be noted here. It should not be surmised that the subject causes harm to his mother by placing Mars in the 10th House of his Solar Return. A natal chart or an SR is only a reflection of the perception of the concerned individual of the world around. If the relevant charts of the mother show no harm to her during the period, she herself would perceive nothing adverse, it would be only the son who might be doing so.

If this explanation were not to be valid, then it could mean that we are working with Black Magic, which astrology is certainly not! No discount on Mileage April 7th Neena: Hello Everybody, Unfortunately, the person I spoke about in an earlier email born at Tenali, India, on January 4th, , cannot afford to get out of India. But I feel that Port Blair seems to be best within India since it would move most planets out of the 8th and only Mercury will be conjunct 12th cusp.

Any ideas or comments are welcome. I think that in the matter of Solar Returns, it is not possible to provide discounts — if I may use such a phrase. It would certainly be better to advice a person seeking astrological counsel that if it is not possible for the person to relocate to the suggested place, there will be a bad year to follow. Cocos Islands April 10th Neena: Respected Ciro, Received your book.

I am enjoying it a lot. I do have some questions so I will go back to the date of birth: Your new book says that to be successful in publishing the 3rd and 9th Houses are important. Also for good finance 2nd and 8th are important. I am trying to relocate this individual so that the stars line up accordingly and I having some difficulty doing this. Here is what I want to achieve with the relocation Success in job and publishing.

Good health and happy job. Sale of her property which has been on market for over couple of years. Commerical property debt needs to be paid but no tenants due to market economic situation. We looked at Nagpur, India, for her but Saturn is in the 8th and Mars in the 4th tells me that she will not be able to sell her property. Of course at that time we were only looking at publishing and good health. Can we rework her return based on the new requirements. I am also trying the same but it seems to be difficult with the way the planets are spanned.

Thanks for your help in advance. I answered to your question on April 3rd and advised possible relocations Cocos Islands and Nagpur Sonegaon Maharashtra, for your friend. Obviously these maps will be not able to resolve all the problems of your friend, but you have to remember that an Aimed Solar Return is a short cover: Anchorage for AstroLogic April 11th Astrologic: Dear Ciro, I came across your fascinating work while trying to find out the best place to spend my birthday in a few days. Your help would be of utmost value and I thank you in advance for it. I think that you will not work as a journalist, all your working life.

I see you engaged in different jobs. Your actual Solar Return is heavy, indeed. Yet you are a young man and you will be able to overcome this hard moment. Using a very inexpensive flight, you can leverage your next Solar Return to help your endeavors, moving yourself to Anchorage, Alaska.

The Solar Arcs April 13th Neena: Respected Ciro, I have some more questions: Let me first say that the Cocos island projection for my friend is absolutely flawless and a beautiful return. She looked up all the flights and decided that the location would be extremely difficult for her to travel to with her family. So, she is reluctantly planning on going to Nagpur, India which is the 2nd best choice available.

I have been reading several books on Solar Arc by different authors. And when I did the solar arcs of several of my friends with some birth time rectification, the solar arc always tells me the major incidents in the life of the native. In case of my friend who is born in Ambala, she has Pluto coming to the Ascendant in the year All the books claim that it will be bad year while the planet is within a degree of the Asc? Do you agree with this? Kindly let me know your esteemed view on solar arcs and what you think about this. Yes, the geographical coordinates of the Cocos Islands are correct as you can see on page 24 of the atlas that you have downloaded here: Under this generic name, many astrologers often amalgamate different systems of forecasts: I think that the most important studies on these arguments were of Henri J.

Their teachings were very interesting: You can check it for yourself. If you get a very very precise time of a birth, you will perhaps be able to indicate the exact day of a particular happening in the life of a subject. I did attempt using Solar Arcs for dating events for many years, and when I failed, developed a new method for the purpose, which is described in one of my books: For cases that are of great interest to me, I usually study such a collection of charts for weeks and can usually make very precise forecasts as well.

Nuovo Trattato di Astrologia April 14th Neena: Respected Ciro, Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately I do not know Italian and so will not be able to benefit from the book that you have written.

Can you kindly give an example, maybe using the date of birth 19th November at 5: How is solar arc to be used in coordination with your rules. And in this chart, what is the meaning of Pluto coming to the Ascendant. Would she expect something bad or can something good also come out of this? Yes, I know the situation. In this book, there are many examples to learn dating of events, some of which are also available in my books that you already have.

One of the many examples regards the saga of death of the Gandhi family: I spent quite a few weeks to write the above. My mother, at that time, was not sick. She died on the night between 25 and 26 December In this case too, I had to spend a few weeks analyzing the astrological situations of my relatives, living and dead, from their natal charts, Transits, Solar Returns, and Lunar Returns.

Every one my students who read my books could obtain similar results. The forecasts of a death are a sensitive matter. We must study them only for ourselves and never for others. I cannot explain these procedures with an example because it needs a lot of time, at last two weeks of work and I do not have that kind of time vene for myself now!

But I am sure that if you will follow the rules, the precise rules, of my school, you will be able to do any exact forecast. Celestials in Natal Chart April 15th Neena: Respected Ciro, Thanks for your feedback. I will try to work on this chart using the returns. I greatly appreciate your feedback. Another question I have for you.

As I read your book, and we all agree that Mars is not good planet to have in certain Houses. So, is the effect same in case of natal charts. Here is an example: This chart belongs to a little girl and she seems to have all the negative planets in dangerous houses. Saturn is detrimental in 12th House conjunct to Ascendant. Pluto conjunct to 6th House. Mars conjunct to 8th House. Uranus conjunct to 9th House cusp. What will the future of this girl hold in terms of these negative planets? How will married life be since Neptune in is the 7th House? Could you throw some light on this please?

Once again thanks for your immense guidance. In my experience I observed that a Solar Return Chart has to be read in a completely different manner when compared to a Natal Chart.

Very important rules for Solar Returns

For example, a Sun in the first House of a Solar. Return is a dangerous element, indeed. The same position, in a Natal Chart, could be a very good element in a strong personality. Surely there will be suffering in her emotional life a closed conjunction Moon-Saturn-Ascendant in Cancer , but we should not forget two things: Knowledge is power Psychology can aid her a lot 2.

Many important men and women in history have struggled and overcome their natal problems. Observe the other two maps. Joanne Woodward, with a strong Saturn closed to her Natal Ascendant: The other map is of Oriana Fallaci, a very great writer, with strong elements in Cancer, linked to a bad Saturn: Respected Ciro, Thank you for your esteemed opinion.

She has Neptune and Mars conjunct the 8th House cusp. Uranus conjunct 9th House cusp sitting in the 8th. Sincerely, Neena Respected Ciro, Other than the question on the 8th House of the little girl, I have the following question. Could you kindly tell me the impact of the Sun in different Solar Return Houses? Thanks again for your guidance, Neena. The asters advice her to never invest money and to be always watchful about her earnings. She should only take up a paid job and never indulge in business or speculations. She will probably be a victim of robberies and accidental loss of money during the course of her life.

The practice of Active Astrology could aid her from this point view, in the future. Respected Ciro, I have a question for you. When looking at the natal Chart, if the position of the Sun is in the 8th, is that good or bad. Dec 2nd , Omaha, NE at 3: I know you said that the Sun should not be read in the Natal chart in the same way as in Solar Return chart. I think that I did forget to answer your question: In a Natal Chart, in my experience, a Sun in the eight House means, first of all, that the subject is a very Scorpio-like, with little bearing on where his Ascendant is. I think that this position in a Natal Chart, is very good if the subject will become a notary or a psychologist, for example, and a very bad position if he will choose to indulge in robberies because surely he will be confined to a prison.

No Abu Dhabi April 22nd Neena: Respected Ciro, I have found the pages. For some reason I was only paying attention to the Ascendant falling in different Houses and did not see the Sun in different Houses. Will the retrograde motion of Mars be a problem with this positioning? The Ascendant falls in 10th House. For the subject of December 2nd, you cannot suggest Abu Dhabi because you have 3 asters there in the first House and it is a bad situation. The Ascendant in the tenth natal House in this case, will be helpful.

In Active Astrology, we do not assign any significance to retrogression, just as we do not consider aster aspects, Arabic Parts, Asteroids, Solar Arcs, and all the elements that are usually borrowed from Esoteric Astrology. Transits April 26th Respected Ciro, I need your help with transits.

Never try to get important medical examinations or surgical operations twenty days before or after your birthday, as well as the birthdays of the persons who are closest to you; a serious disease may also come along in a year in which the Solar return is very positive: All of the above also applies to Mars in the 12th, 6th or 1st house of Solar Return: When examining the Solar return chart we recommend only taking into account a few but certain elements: The 7th house almost always regards documents with tax stamps, trouble with the law, possible conflict with justice, all kinds of wars, tensions of all kind, strong quarrels, disagreements with partners or separations, declared animosity, even attempts on your life or damage to your property; 8.

Jupiter in the 2nd, 7th and 8th house both in a Solar return chart or transiting in a birth chart, acts as a bistable oscillator, in the sense that it tends to invert the pre-existent situation: The values of the 2nd and 8th house indicate, in the majority of cases, large outgoings of money, really big money losses and much less incoming money; if the subject has big on-going financial problems, the last thing that is needed is to place a Jupiter in the 2nd or 8th house; The trines and the sextiles of Uranus and Neptune are often above all announcers of bad luck also, trines and sextiles are often bringers of bad things ; In the respect of transits the semi-squares and sesqui-square are of huge importance, exactly like the squares and oppositions; instead, semisextiles, sextiles and quincunx have a very low level of influence, or even no influence at all; The Ascendant in the 10th house of a Solar return almost always brings exceptionally positive things; on the contrary Jupiter on the Midheaven of the Solar return, has a lower influence than the Ascendant in the same position; The Ascendant in the 10th house, when simultaneously there is a bad transit of Saturn or Uranus or Neptune or Pluto, to the Midheaven, or in negative aspect to Ascendant, Sun or Moon including conjunctions , produces noteworthy breakdowns: Some of the most dramatic moments in a life arrive when transiting Saturn or Uranus, or Neptune, or Pluto, in hard aspect to natal Sun, Ascendant, Midheaven or Moon, are added to an Ascendant, a stellium, a Sun or a Mars of Solar return in the first, sixth or twelfth house of the Solar Return; Every planet placement in a birth chart is enhanced by the transits and by the Solar return; if a person, for example, has a bad aspected natal Uranus in the eighth house, when transiting Uranus form an opposition to that placement, you can expect serious financial troubles; The positive effect of the tenth House of the Solar Return can also be about a single event and not necessarily a numerous series of positive events; We must never forget that there are three relevant variables, which explain how a life evolves: We should not interpret the transiting planets in the houses of the birth chart in the same way as we interpret the planet house positions in the Solar Return; If the indications of the transits and of the Solar return are contradicting each other, it is necessary to do the following; in the presence of very hard and threatening transits and a neutral, not dangerous Solar return, we will not have to worry because the year will not be marked by dramatic events; if alternatively, the transits are not very significant, almost neutral, not at all fearful, and instead, the Solar return is bad, heavy, even only with an Ascendant in the first, sixth or twelfth house, then we should certainly expect a very insidious and negative year.

The Solar return sky has much more influence than the birth one with the relative transits: Within which orb a transit should be considered active?
