A full year-reading structure
This is not only a chart wheel. The feature combines the calculation itself, the Solar Return Passport, yearly themes, premium interpretations and the solar ↔ natal overlay for a more strategic reading of the year.
How the Solar Return feature works
The solar return is calculated for the city where the user will be at the moment of their birthday. This makes the feature especially useful not only for reading the year, but also for comparing annual emphasis through location and timing.
Birth data + solar city
Users enter their birth date, optional birth time, birth city and the city where they will be for the birthday return.
Selected year
The feature is built as a year chart, so the user selects the exact return year they want to analyze.
Solar return moment
The result screen shows the exact local time and UTC moment of the solar return.
Layered reading
Users first see a readable year summary and then can unlock deeper interpretation for planets, aspects and overlay.
Main interpretation layers
The Solar Return screen is structured in clear layers from a fast year overview to a more technical premium level.
1. Year chart calculation
Users first calculate the solar return itself using birth data, return city and year.
2. Solar Return Passport
This first interpretation layer shows the yearly ASC, MC and several key annual indicators in a readable way.
3. Main themes of the year
The app highlights several central themes, helping users understand where the year concentrates pressure, growth or change.
4. Premium solar block
The deeper level unlocks solar planets, top aspects, solar planets in natal houses, solar cusps in natal houses and overlay interpretation.
What users see in the first layer
Solar return moment
The exact return moment is shown in local time and UTC, which gives the feature a precise technical anchor.
Year chart wheel
Users see the solar chart itself, with the option to switch into a solar ↔ natal overlay view.
Solar Return Passport
The app translates chart structure into an accessible annual passport with ASC, MC, Sun, Moon and other key yearly cues.
3 main themes of the year
This gives users a strategic overview before they go deeper into more technical layers.
What unlocks in the premium solar block
Solar planets interpretation
Each solar planet is interpreted in plain language to explain how that planet shapes the year.
TOP-10 major aspects
The premium block adds aspect interpretation, which helps users understand how the main solar dynamics work together.
Solar planets in natal houses
This overlay layer shows where the annual focus lands inside the natal life structure.
Solar cusps in natal houses
This is a deeper structural layer that helps read how the annual houses map onto natal topics.
The value of solar ↔ natal overlay
One of the strongest parts of the feature is the overlay logic, where the solar chart is read in relation to the natal chart.
Solar planets in natal houses
This shows where the energy of the year lands inside the user's natal life structure and which natal areas become active.
Solar cusps in natal houses
This adds a house-to-house layer, helping users understand how the annual map overlays the natal one.
Close solar ↔ natal conjunctions
The overlay also tracks close contacts between solar and natal planets, which can mark the strongest year triggers.
Strategic reading of the year
This makes the solar return feel less generic and more grounded in the personal natal framework of the user.

From in-app annual reading to deeper personal work
Some users want a self-service year chart. Others want help interpreting the year in a more individual way. This feature supports both levels.
Self-service solar reading
The app provides calculation, passport, themes, premium planets, aspects and overlay inside one structured flow.
Deeper personal reading
If the user wants more than automated interpretation, the feature naturally leads toward a deeper personal solar reading.
Strong pair with Natal Chart
The solar return becomes even more useful when read together with the natal chart structure.
Good for strategic users
The feature is especially valuable for users who want not only inspiration, but a structured reading of the upcoming year.
