Unheard of to some, maybe misunderstood by others, the Solar Return chart and reading is a useful tool to examine a particular time —usually used for the current year, often requested at the time of the birthday— distinct from "progressions" and "transits". The Solar Return chart is a rendering of the sky, for the year you choose, based on the return of the Sun to the exact same position it occupied when you were born. This reading answers the question "Who am I this year in particular"?

Rather than provide predictive information, in the sense of progressions and transits, it is a modification of your birth chart for that year, viewed relative to the natal chart. It provides more of a psychological or attitudinal orientation —a motivation oriented backdrop-- toward your life for that year, which may or may not reflect in actual experiences, though will be an important contribution, by way of your thoughts, concerns and feelings, and your general view of circumstances, upon how events play out. In this way it helps to understand motivations or impulses behind your year's activities and occurrences, where your concerns may naturally gravitate.                                                                                             $97

A Transit reading tends to be more popular because it gets deep. It highlights the intent behind your experience and a sort of secondary effect resulting from that experience. If you aware that you are going through challenges for which you seek pointed direction a Transit reading is for you. This is the most specific and concrete guide to the present, which considers various overlapping cycles of up to 2 years, some now passing, others just beginning. This reading considers areas and types of experiences you will encounter, showing where the rubber meets the road and what life is asking (and at times demanding) of you in response.                                                                                                                                     $97

Combining the Solar Return and Transit reading, with the addition of a look at Secondary Progressions and Solar Arc Directions, I also offer this "package" called the Present Cycle reading. In terms of cost this is a great value, and an information and guidance powerhouse for more effectively maneuvering through these current times. This reading provides a complete perspective on actual events, your motivation behind them, and their cyclic meaning with respect to your birth chart, covering a span of time up to a year prior and a year into the future, from the perspective of the 'now'.                                                                   $205
