**SR means Solar return.
Don’t copy, plagiarise, steal.
What is a solar return-
It is when sun comes back to it original position (sign and degree) as in your natal chart.
Its like a natal chart for a particular year, it can give you insights of what your year will be like.
💙 FOCUS FOR THE YEAR-
🌬️ First thing first I would l look at the Ascendant sign in SR, house of the sun and SR ascendant lord in your SR chart. This will help you provide insights of what themes will be prominent in that year. Alongside this check your ascendant sign in SR and see which house this sign rules in your natal chart. Theme of that house will be prominent for during that year.
🌬️ Look at planets conjunct your sun in SR chart and which house(s) that planet rules in your SR and NATAL chart.
🌬️ Profection year sign/house will also show which area will be focus for you this year. ( Guidance: Image below shows according to your age what Profection year you have, the outer circle is the house numbers. So as in chart with ages 12,24,36,48,60,72..and so on your Profection year focus will be your first house themes.

mercury is our navigation. mercury is what influences our day-to-day decisions that create the journey we’re on.
if you have a fire mercury (aries, leo, sagittarius) — follow your instincts, your passion, and where creativity is leading you so you can lead others. don’t make moves prematurely but innerstand that you were born to move faster than everyone else. don’t let nobody slow you down or stop your show.
if you have an earth mercury (taurus, virgo, capricorn) — follow what’s sustainable. don’t be too rigid in your thought process + don’t place limits upon yourself. you have a reliable head on your shoulders. trust where you’re going + avoid stagnancy. when it’s time to make a move + you’re sure in it, you betta step!
if you have an air mercury (gemini, libra, aquarius) — learn to get out of your head + get into the world. put your ideas into practice. follow your inner genius. you are a visionary. let your curiosity + what interests you guide you.
if you have a water mercury (cancer, scorpio, pisces) — trust what you feel + allow yourself to be emotionally moved by tugs on your head strings. prioritize staying grounded on earth as your mercury placement naturally works underneath the surface which can get dark + melancholic at times. let your imagination navigate you in this hopeless world.
