Annual Ascendant in Gemini
If this year your Solar Revolution Ascendant is Gemini ♊, take into account the following tips and advice to work with this influence:
- This year your mind will be more active and you will feel the need to communicate what you think and be in movement.
- Avoid changing, dispersed or impractical attitudes as this will harm you throughout the year.

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.
Mercury, 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 a Gemini Ascendant in the annual return, your ruler will be Mercury 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 Mercury is located when your annual Ascendant is Gemini will have a lot of weight when making the interpretation.
For example, if Mercury 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 Mercury is, you will have to make decisions, be a protagonist, promote initiatives or act in some sense. For example, when Mercury 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 Mercury (ruler of the Ascendant) we may be in a year in which we must overcome obstacles, adversities or problems.
Aspects to Gemini 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 Gemini and you have Mercury in exact or partile square with Saturn, it is a good idea to spend your birthday in another city where the Ascendant is not Gemini to reduce the strength of the inharmonious aspect of Mercury with Saturn.
