0-Home | Journey Returns annual forecast report

This well organized yearly forecast report by Anthony Louis delineates the placements and aspects for all of the solar return planets and indicates when, during the year following the birthday, aspects will perfect in a Standard 40-page report. The solar return (or solar revolution) is a chart for the exact moment that the transiting sun returns to its natal position. It can be quite different from one year to the next, and clients can spend much time poring over their solar return interpretation report to discover what to expect from the coming year.

The astrologer can also choose the Intermediate, Advanced, or Concise Advanced template in order to add exact timing calculation and interpretation of the sun's transits and the progressed Ascendant and Midheaven during the course of the solar return year in reports that range from 60 to 110 pages.

For many years the author was disappointed with the predictive value of solar returns. Then he discovered the work of the French astrologer Volguine, which forms the framework of this report. Volguine studied the existing literature on solar returns and experimented with innumerable charts to refine a method for interpreting return charts that is surprisingly powerful and accurate. The Journey Returns report provides thorough delineations of all factors in the return chart compared to the natal chart, and you have the option of ending the report with a step-by-step summary of Volguine's method that will delight astrologers. As with all of the reports by Anthony Louis, the author has carefully tested the delineations for accuracy in hundreds of charts of individuals with well documented biographies. After writing these interpretations for Halloran Software, he published his findings in a well-reviewed book, "The Art of Forecasting using Solar Returns".
