Solar Return Calculator

Your solar return is the exact instant the Sun comes back to the degree and minute it held at your birth — the true astronomical start of your personal year. It usually lands within a day of your birthday, but almost never at the same hour, and the difference matters: astrologers cast a full chart for that instant and read it as the weather map of the year ahead. This free calculator computes your exact solar return moment for any year from real ephemeris data, along with the Moon's sign at that instant — the emotional keynote of your new year.

From instant to forecast

The return moment is the doorway; the solar return chart is the room. The Year-Ahead Report casts and interprets your full solar return chart alongside the year's real transits to your natal planets, month by month, delivered to your account within minutes. You can also browse the year's sky in the transit calendar — retrogrades, full moons, and eclipses, all computed.
