74th Solar Return

Figure 1 shows the chart cast for my 74th solar return that will occur on my birthday April 3rd 2023 at 2:17 am in Jakarta. Often the solar return occurs on April 2nd, the day before my official birthday, but this year the two coincide.

The chart is noticeable for its preponderance of planets in Aries. Apart from the Sun, there is Chiron in 15°41', Jupiter in 19°33' and Mercury in 28°32'. Jupiter will cross my Ascendant around April 26th so promises to be an expansive month where I have the opportunity to set my sights on new horizons and explore hitherto unrealised possibilities. Chiron remains behind in my twelfth house, maintaining a focus on healing, behind the scenes, both physically and psychically.

Figure 2 shows the transits to my natal chart at the time of the solar return.

The T-square formed by transiting Saturn's opposition to its natal position with the natal Moon at its apex is a dominant influence as I've discussed in related posts.

Ceres Transit of Moon

Ceres has an orbital period of 1,682 days or approximately 4.6 years. Tomorrow, moving forward, it will pass over my natal Moon. Figure 1 shows the situation:

The other significant but even more "transient" transit is that of Mars over natal Saturn. Transient though it may be, it can be seen that for the next couple of days there is a T-square formed between transiting Jupiter, transiting Mars and natal Saturn and transiting Ceres and natal Moon. The apex of the T-square is the natal Moon and transiting Ceres at the cusp of my second house.

Yesterday, after some days of lethargy, I began to do some exercise: stretching and walking within the boundary of the house. Physically, I had been feeling rather badly but yesterday's exercise has helped lift my energy levels so that today I feel somewhat rejuvenated. Hopefully I can continue this somatic renaissance.

The influences of Chiron, now retrograde but only recently turned stationary retrograde, and Pluto remain steady.
