What is a Solar Return?
Every year, the Sun completes one full loop of the zodiac and arrives back at the exact ecliptic longitude it occupied when you were born. Traditional astrologers treat that moment as the start of your personal year and cast a new chart for it — the solar return.
How We Calculate It
We use the Swiss-ephemeris-grade astronomy engine to lock in the Sun's geocentric ecliptic longitude at birth, then iteratively narrow the return moment down to one-minute precision within the year you choose.
