Solar Return Calculator

A Solar Return chart is calculated for the exact moment the Sun reaches its natal longitude around your birthday. Explore the annual chart's houses, angles and aspects with Moira's JPL DE440 planetary ephemeris.

Type at least two characters. Select one catalogued asteroid; availability depends on the birth and return dates.

Birth details

However you write them, that's how you'll be spoken to. Nothing in your chart depends on it — the sky never asks who you are. Left blank, readings stay neutral rather than guess.

Return Location *

The place where you will be at the return sets the chart's houses and angles. It does not change the geocentric return moment.

1. Enter birth data — Known date, time, and birth place locate your natal Sun longitude.

2. Choose the return location — This sets the return Ascendant and house angles at the exact event.

3. Calculate — Reveal the exact moment of the celestial return, the return chart wheel, planetary positions, cusps, and aspects.

How to calculate a Solar Return

Enter your known birth date, clock time and place, choose the birthday year, then choose where you will be at the return. Moira searches for the exact geocentric tropical longitude crossing around that year's birthday. The event can fall before or after the calendar birthday.

What the chart shows

The result gives the exact return time in UTC and Julian Day, the natal target longitude, the selected body's placement, and a complete chart wheel with planetary positions, houses and aspects. The return place sets houses and angles; it does not change the geocentric event time. Solar and Lunar results can also include their existing astrological overviews.

Birthday-year example

For a June birthday, choose 2027 to search around the June 2027 birthday. Entering a different return city changes the chart's angles and houses while keeping the exact Sun return moment. Leap-day birthdays use the same exact longitude search around the late-February or early-March birthday window.

Method and availability

Moira calculates tropical, geocentric ecliptic longitude returns using its exact event solver. Major-planet calculations use the website's JPL DE440 ephemeris; asteroid positions depend on the engine's admitted small-body kernels. A catalog listing does not guarantee coverage at every birth or return date. Unknown birth times require a known clock time before calculation, and unavailable bodies or dates produce an error.
