Solar Return Sun in 12th House:
While your Solar Return Sun is in your 12th house, your greatest opportunities and potentials for growth will be self-transcendence.
What is this year about?
This year is about soul cleansing. Letting go of your negative, thoughts, habits, dependencies, ego attachments and worldly concerns. It is about facing karma, paying old debts, and learning to surrender your will to a higher power. It is also about healing and release.
What does this mean to me?
Be gentle with yourself. This will likely be a behind-the-scenes year for you. Don’t plan your schedule too far in advance. Your ideas and philosophy may evolve slowly as the year goes on. You may even feel victimized, that you have very little control over some of the situations you will face. When this occurs, recognize it as a gift of increased perception. Let things take their natural course. This year only seems unstructured. It is structured by your need for healing and closure. You will be guided through this experience by a heightened intuition. Your experiences are designed to bring you out of denial. Difficulties you face now merely act as tests that strengthen you in your personal evolution.
How are these energies likely to be expressed in my life?
You will tend to desire more quiet time, preferring to spend more time at home where you can relax, reflect, and recharge your energies. Look for intimate encounters and retreat from hectic social schedules. The demands of your family and children will cause you to retreat from extra commitments and a hectic social schedule. Meditation and reflection can help so be sure to give yourself some quiet time.
Your intuition is heightened awash in a vast ocean of emotional awareness and you will gain insights by surrendering control and learning to go with the cosmic flow. Be willing to experience the divine energy flowing through your life, open to what others are feeling. This is your time to work on inner strengths. Let go of your emotional boundaries and trust in a higher power to guide you.
You could find yourself paying your debts from this life time or older karmic obligations. Your karmic lessons are designed to teach you to let go of anger, guilt, difficult memories, and accept yourself as you are, not as you would like to be. You are definitely being guided to become more mature and to confront any issues or truths that you have denied, or wanted to avoid.You may find it difficult to gain recognition for the work that you do.
This influence could bring some loss or complications in business matters. Some friendships you counted on could come to an end, and the help that others get may not come your way.
You may choose to be involved with sick or disabled people, spending time helping those who are incapacitated or confined, visiting friends, neighbors or relatives in the hospital.
What should I be cautious about?
Avoid substance abuse. This is not the time to gamble, speculate or take chances with your resources.Situations will arise which offer you an opportunity to participate in secret or clandestine activities. This is a year where you deal with karma. Bad karma created now can have immediate repercussions. Maintain your integrity. Beware of a promise of easy money through unlawful risks.
Make sure that you get proper rest and nourishment this year. It is important to take extra care of your health during this year. You may feel more easily drained physically and emotionally. Anxiety and nervousness can affect even normally healthy people when they are under stress. If you concentrate only on negativity, you will find that your problems grow larger and seem impossible to resolve. If you have had or needed mental counseling before, you could find this year to be a very difficult year without professional help.
Avoid forming personal relationships with people with substance abuse problems who readily take your time and assistance, but do nothing on their own to change. Your sensitivity to the suffering of others is heightened. It is only natural to feel the needs of others could overwhelm your own needs. Each of us has our own path and we choose to walk it in our own way. We all make it in our own time.
What advice can you recommend?
Maintain a positive mental attitude by giving yourself credit for the things that you have accomplished. Accept responsibility for your own actions, and get involved in some activity that serves others.
