What significance does the Aquarius Ascendant have in the Solar Return and how should you work with this influence?
Annual Ascendant in Aquarius
If this year your Solar Revolution Ascendant is Aquarius ♒, take into account the following tips and advice to work with this influence:
- With Aquarius in the 1st house of the annual map you will tend to show your most independent, original and avant-garde side during the year.
- You are in a period in which you will need to feel free to show your best version, although you may tend to become very radical when you feel limited or dissatisfied with situations.
- With Aquarius in your 1st yearly house you have the challenge of avoiding rebellious or irreverent attitudes that affect your relationships.
- Egocentric, possessive or very emotional attitudes in other people will stop your drive and initiative. Stay away from these types of people.
- This year your approach to life will be more mental and you will be more willing to overcome prejudices and detach yourself from things that are not really important.
- It is possible that you can manifest important changes in your personality or way of being. You can even become more eccentric.
- If you want to change a situation in your life, do it in an intelligent, harmonious and constructive way, avoiding very radical or irreverent attitudes.
- This year other people’s dramas will have no place in your life. You will connect better on a mental or impersonal level with others.
- Your ideals will have more relevance this year, so you may be looking for someone to share them with.
The Solar Return is a predictive technique whose validity period extends from the moment of one’s birthday to the next birthday. The Solar Return map or chart reflects the configurations of the sky at the time and place where the person is when the Sun returns to the same point where he was when he was born.
Uranus, ruler of the Ascendant in the Solar Return
Every planet has a sign that rules it and the ruling planet of the sign that is located at the beginning of the 1st house is called the Ruler of the Ascendant. If you are Aquarius Ascendant in the annual return, your ruler will be Uranus and this star is very important in the annual chart since it indicates your potential for action and possibilities for the year. The house where Uranus is located when your annual Ascendant is Aquarius will have a lot of weight when making the interpretation.
For example, if Uranus is located in the 7th house, the relationships, partnerships or agreements of the year will be very important and decisive in achieving your purposes. It is very likely that in the topics and areas related to the house where Uranus is, you will have to make decisions, be a protagonist, promote initiatives or act in some sense. For example, when Uranus is located in the 4th house, we may be focused on changing residence or resolving a family matter during the year. The aspects that this ruler receives are related to scripts that will be repeated throughout the year when we have to face situations or act. For example, if Saturn makes a square with Uranus (ruler of the Ascendant) we may be in a year in which we must overcome obstacles, adversities or problems.
Aspects to the Aquarius Ascendant in the Solar Return
The partial aspects (less than 1 degree) that the Ascendant degree of the Solar Return receives are very important in the interpretation and largely determine what the year will be like. If Mars makes an exact trine to the annual Ascendant, it will be a very dynamic year where you will be able to carry out successful endeavors and enjoy determination. If Venus is in partile conjunction to the Ascendant of the year you can have experiences that will make you very happy or you may find love if you do not have a partner and if Neptune is in square to the Ascendant it is possible that you will experience some disappointments, disappointments or confusing situations during the year. .
Relocation of the Solar Return
Every year around the birthday the Sun returns to the point where it was at the time of birth, starting a new solar cycle and the place where we are at that moment determines how the houses of the Solar Revolution will be located. The positions of planets by sign and the planetary aspects do not vary, but the positions of planets and signs in the houses do.
In this sense, Relocation is a technique through which the best possible place to spend the birthday is sought and in this way soften the inharmonic configurations present in the birthday sky and enhance the harmonics. For example, if for a certain city your Ascendant is Aquarius and you have Uranus in exact or partile square with Saturn, it is a good idea to spend your birthday in another city where the Ascendant is not Aquarius to reduce the strength of the inharmonious aspect of Uranus with Saturn .
Note: Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius, but Saturn can also be considered as it is the ancient ruler.
