Solar return
A solar return is the instant when the Sun returns to its natal zodiacal longitude within the chosen framework. Its chart is interpreted as an annual symbolic reference.
How it is defined
It need not match the birthday’s exact civil date or time. House calculation also requires choosing the location used by the interpretive school.
How to read it
A useful reading explains its rule before proposing questions. Keep the compared data distinct from the meaning a particular school assigns to it.
A concrete example
Before comparing returns, check instant, frame and location. Travel does not guarantee a changed destiny: changing a calculation’s location does not establish a causal effect.

Before extending a reading, identify the data the technique requires and what the application actually provides. Keep the rule with your notes so comparisons use consistent criteria.
