What significance does the Taurus Ascendant have in the Solar Return and how should you work with this influence?
Yearly Ascendant in Taurus
If this year your Solar Revolution Ascendant is Taurus ♉, take into account the following tips and advice to work with this influence:
- You are in a year in which you will have a practical, stable approach and will seek to step on firm ground when acting or making decisions.
- You have the challenge of avoiding jealous, possessive and stubborn attitudes that affect your relationships since Taurus is a fixed sign.
- Without material or emotional stability in this annual period you will tend to show your worst version, so you must work on this first.
- Extremist, self-centered or overly idealistic attitudes in other people will slow down your drive and initiative during the year. Stay away from these types of people.
- The pleasures of life will have greater importance at this stage. So, eating in a restaurant, going to the museum, the cinema, theater or listening to music are activities that will make you feel good.
- Your pace when acting or making decisions will be slower than in other years, but remember that excessive patience or passivity will delay your goals.
- This year you may find it more difficult to adjust to sudden or unforeseen changes that arise.
- If you want to make the most of the energy of this Ascendant, have a productive approach and bring value to things.
- If you are pressured to change something, you will tend not to give in or become stubborn.
- It is a great year to put the Law of Detachment into practice, since you may tend to manifest jealousy or possessiveness.
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.
Venus, 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 Taurus Ascendant in the annual return, your ruler will be Venus 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 Venus is located when your annual Ascendant is Taurus will have a lot of weight when making the interpretation.
For example, if Venus 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 Venus is, you will have to make decisions, be a protagonist, promote initiatives or act in some sense. For example, when Venus 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 Venus (ruler of the Ascendant) we may be in a year in which we must overcome obstacles, adversities or problems.
Aspects to Taurus 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 Taurus and you have Venus in exact or partile square with Saturn, it is a good idea to spend your birthday in another city where the Ascendant is not Taurus to reduce the strength of the inharmonious aspect of Venus with Saturn.
