![]() ![]() This solar identity is so important we celebrate it once a year, though if we celebrated our lunar returns, which I sometimes do, it would happen once a month. In Western psychology, it is also often associated with our father, or animus (inner man) for women, or our complexes around authority. ![]() In astrology, the Sun represents our major personality we “shine” into the world, consciousness, identity, what energizes us, and a large part of our life purpose and part of our reason for being on Earth. It’s no wonder the sun feels significant, it is the center of our collective solar system and gives life on Earth. Our birthdays may or may not correlate with this day as the Gregorian calendar is not based on degrees of the zodiac. Here it is in short: The Solar Return is a yearly transit where the degree of the sun in the sky lines up with the degree of our natal sun. I spent far too long clarifying this on my birthday blessings posts and decided it made more sense to just write a blog and enjoy receiving the comments instead of being a know-it-all. While I’m not a fan of horoscopes and looking at astrology purely from Sun Sign perspective, I do adore birthdays! My birthday (or Earth birth as I call it) was last weekend and I was struck by the popularity of people saying “Happy Solar Return.” I love that astro-speak was making its way around the Interwebs and on my FB wall, though this year my solar return was not on my actual birthday.
