Solar Returns are one of the best tools of predictive astrology - and all the best tools are simple to use. In this book, Sara Shipman introduces you to solar return chart interpretation using a 'keywords' approach to analysing the planets, houses and rising sign in your solar return chart. To keep things easy, Sara bases her chart analyses in this book on four main questions - what, when, where and how - and the answers to those questions are written in your stars.
In this book, Sara explains what a solar return forecast is, how it works and why it’s different from your natal chart. She explains how solar returns work in cycles and looks at the question of timing your forecast. When can you expect to notice you new solar return chart taking effect? Is it an immediate noticeable change or does it overlap with the previous year’s chart? These, and many other questions will be answered by Sara's in depth analysis of the planets, retrograde planets and astrological houses in your solar return chart. Sara also looks carefully at the importance of the rising sign in your solar return chart.
The main objective of this book is, however, to provide you with the resources to begin making your own interpretations, so to simplify matters, each section of the book has a keywords to assist you with the range of possibilities open to you when interpreting your solar return chart.

This is my own book so I haven't reviewed it as I would prefer you to do so. However, a reader contacted me a few weeks ago following the book's release and I was truly grateful for the following kind words:
"Congrats on your book, Solar Returns, and your website, professional and personable. Just as I did with progressions, I reluctantly started to investigate solar returns a couple of years ago (I took a workshop with Steven Forrest here in Durham, NC, USA). Recently your book caught my attention and sealed the deal so to speak. The results have been spot on which shouldn't be surprising, but is. I've been studying astrology on and off for 40 years and it still blows my mind!"
Constructive feedback is great for any writer, so I will leave it up to you, the reader to make up your own mind and I will always thank you for showing interest. It means so much to me as a writer and astrologer.
By the way, you may notice the book now has a new cover so don't be confused! The book's contents are unchanged.
