In this episode, we demystify the astrological concept of Solar Returns. Discover how this personalized chart, cast for the exact moment the Sun returns to its position at your birth, can offer valuable insights into the year ahead. We delve into the debate of using birth location versus current location for casting the chart, sharing our experiences and preferences. Get ready to learn how to harness the power of Solar Returns to gain a deeper understanding of your personal growth and potential challenges in the coming year.
Try this experiment:
1. Cast your own Solar Return for the current year you are in (example: if your birthday is in November, cast your SR using the 2023 chart). Use your place of birth.
2. Cast the same chart again, but using the location you were on your birthday.
3. Compare the two charts. Using basic interpretation skills, which chart resonates more with the experience you've had so far since your last birthday?
You can repeat this process for any previous year, too. You may also do this for the charts of family and friends. Keep notes of your findings in a notebook (digital or old-school paper). This will help you to formulate your own sense of what works for you in practice.
-If you need a video tutorial on how to cast a Solar Return chart in Luna Astrology Software, you can find it about 1 min 53 secs into THIS VIDEO.
-For more information about the "place at birth vs. place at birthday" debate, Steven Forrest wrote a great article expanding on it HERE
-And here is the book Katie referred to: Planets in Solar Returns: Yearly Cycles of Transformation and Growth by Mary Fortier Shea

Katie and Dena talk about the current Venus Retrograde in Leo (July 22 - September 3). They discuss how the Leo themes of play and romance will be at the forefront. It is a time to reconnect in our closest relationships by bringing in more fun. During this time, it's important to keep the focus on play and to avoid becoming "all business" in partnerships. They provide strategies for making the meaning of Venus Rx in Leo specific to your own chart.
Facts:
-Venus Retrograde happens about every 1.5 years for a period of about 40 days
-Venus spends an extra-long time in the signs it travels through during the Retrograde (so we are spending extra time working on Venus-themed lessons related to that sign)
-The last Venus Retrograde was Dec 19, 2021 - Jan 29, 2022 in Capricorn
-Venus Retro has an 8 year cycle, so the last time the Retro was in Leo was the summer of 2015

Here are some facts about Pluto square:
-It’s the first of the midlife transits
-It lasts about three years (as do all Pluto transits)
-Pluto’s orbit is elliptical. It slows and quickens in its movement through the zodiac. So the age that it happens from generation to generation can vary slightly. It happens in mid-late thirties.
-Currently those born in 1981-83 are going through it (natal Pluto in Libra)

Katie and Dena talk about how they came together and what they plan to offer in the podcast. They will be sharing their personal stories about how astrology has helped them in their real lives. This will be a podcast that aims to bridge the gap between astrological theory and how to use the wisdom of the planets in our daily lives. Along the way, Katie and Dena will provide listeners with strategies for working with challenging astrological energies. The focus will be upon how to use astrology to empower rather than to predict.
Dena and Katie each shared their history with astrology as well.
