The Meaning Of Your Solar Return Chart
A Solar Return chart is an astrological forecasting technique used for assessing the potential themes and general feel of your next solar year, i.e. birthday year (from one birthday to the next). They are usually cast on your birthday, solar returns are the moment the Sun returns to its natal degree, which can actually be the day before or after your birthdate), but they can also be done retrospectively as well once you are already part-way into your next birthday year if you would like insight into the unfolding of the rest of the year.
How To Read Secondary Progressions
Secondary progressions, sometimes called secondary directions or a-day-for-a-year progressions, is a predictive Astrology method of “progressing” or, in a sense, maturing your Natal Chart to see how it has evolved from when you were born.

The essential Planetary dignities help to construct an Astrological picture of how well a Planet is performing, how comfortable it is, and the extent to which it can express its strength (or weaknesses) based on its placement in the Zodiac Signs. They are a construct of ancient Hellenistic Astrology largely defined by Ptolemy. The Planetary joys are House placements where the Planets are particularly happy and can also add another layer of detail to our analysis.

There are at least 20 different Astrology House systems created, in this post I will discuss 8 of the most popular versions in use today.
