Calculate a Solar Return Online

The exact moment the Sun returns to your birth degree — a chart for the year with an AI reading, not a generic sign forecast.

A solar return is a chart for the year ahead, built for the exact moment the transiting Sun returns to your natal degree. If you're living somewhere other than where you were born this year, enter your current city — it affects the chart's houses.

What a Solar Return Is in Astrology

Once a year, the transiting Sun passes exactly through the zodiac degree it stood at the moment you were born — that instant is called a solar return. To calculate a solar return by date of birth precisely rather than approximately, we find this moment numerically (not on a fixed calendar date, but from the Sun's real position down to the hour and minute) and build a full solar return chart for it, with houses and aspects — it symbolically describes the year until your next birthday.

Like the portal's other tools, a solar return is a practice for self-discovery, not medical or financial advice.
