Declinations in the solar return chart

[Ava]

Have you ever paid attention to these?

I think I haven't. If I did, I forgot.

This past year I have had the sun, Mercury, Saturn, and Pluto all parallel (around 22° S) in my solar return chart. 

Difficulties in communication, that fits.

Hmm.. Well, so far, no. But then I barely look at those in natal charts either - should probably pay attention to declinations!

Yours really does align with this year's events. There's also the Mercury-Saturn reticence after all that went down.

In this SR, I have Venus parallel Saturn & Pluto, also around 22° (it's retrograde too). Fits.. Extra dose of cynicism and the usual Pluto stuff. 

Moon parallel Mars and Jupiter. In the literal sense, there was travel involved, more reactiveness and more activity than usual. Not more energy, though..

Thanks for looking into it 12YearsABlob .

Your interpretations for your own SR declinations seem to fit, I mean theoretically that's how I might interpret it, too. Was that for the one that just ended or the current one? If it's for the current one, I hope your year turns out much better than you'd hope or expect. 

I'm still not quite sure how to interpret Mars-Jupiter aspects. I have that now as well...Mars parallel Jupiter (16° S) contraparallel the NN (16° N).

I assume the SN is 16° S but I don't understand declinations and don't like to make even basic guesses like that.

lumina , fact check me? If the NN is 16°N, the SN is 16° S?

Anyway, I wonder if Mars-Jupiter indicates a need for herculean effort, dazzling feats, all based on principle and life philosophy. Leaps of faith.

(If so, if that's my SR declination mandate, I'm doing a pretty bad job, and changing very little. Just sayin.)

Just glancing at a few...

I had moon @ 6°N parallel to NN @ 6°N the year I got married. Interesting.

At time of wedding:

My SR Juno @ 3°35' S, my husband's SR @ NN 3°43' N 
My SR Uranus (ruler of natal DSC) @ 18°59' S, his SR sun-moon @ 18°18', 18°20' N
My SR Pluto @ 9°, his SR Mercury-Venus-Chiron @ 9° (don't feel like recording minutes & direction for all of these)
My SR Venus @ 16°, his SR Jupiter @ 16°

Off topic, natally his Jupiter is tightly contraparallel to my Juno.

Using name asteroids in this study is pretty eye-opening.

Yes btw i think today my evc Mars conjunct Jupiter ist exact.

btw this recent year I had Sun-Venus-Saturn parallel in the Solar return. Next year it is going to be Moon contraparallel Mars, with Moon in Aries conjunct Uranus in 8th house, and Mars conjunct Neptune and in Pisces on the DESC. Should be interesting, too.
