In Transit: Activating Moments of Love and Creativity

When a transiting planet forms a significant aspect (conjunction, opposition, or square) to your natal Sun/Venus midpoint, it triggers events and experiences related to the midpoint's themes. The nature of the transiting planet will define the specific manifestation:

Transiting Sun or Venus: These transits often coincide with periods of heightened social activity, new romantic interests, or a renewed appreciation for beauty and pleasure. It's a time when you feel more attractive and loving.
Transiting Jupiter: This can bring opportunities for joyful expansion in your love life, social connections, and creative pursuits. A new, significant relationship might begin, or you could receive recognition for your artistic talents.
Transiting Saturn: A Saturn transit to the Sun/Venus midpoint often brings a more serious and realistic approach to relationships and values. It can be a time for commitment, but also for facing challenges in your connections with others. You may become more discerning about what and who you value.
Transiting Uranus: Expect the unexpected in your social and romantic life. Sudden attractions, unconventional relationships, or a desire for more freedom and excitement in your existing partnerships are common.
Transiting Neptune: This can be a period of romantic idealism, creative inspiration, and heightened sensitivity. There is a potential for deep spiritual connections, but also for illusion and disillusionment in matters of the heart.
Transiting Pluto: Pluto's transit brings intensity and transformation to your love life and values. It can signify the beginning of a powerful, fated relationship or the dramatic ending of one that is no longer serving your soul's evolution.

In the Solar Return Chart: A Year Focused on Relationship and Value

The placement of the Sun/Venus midpoint in your Solar Return chart, calculated for the exact moment the Sun returns to its natal position each year, highlights the themes of love, social connection, and finances for the upcoming year.

If the Sun/Venus midpoint is prominently placed, for instance, conjunct one of the angles (Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven, or Imum Coeli), or in close aspect to a significant planet in the Solar Return chart, its themes will be a central focus of the year. For example:

On the Ascendant: Your personal charm and attractiveness will be more apparent to others.
On the Descendant: The year may be defined by significant developments in your one-on-one relationships.
On the Midheaven: Your career or public image could be enhanced through your social connections or artistic talents.
On the Imum Coeli: Matters of the heart will be a primary focus in your private life and home environment.

In the Secondary Progressed Chart: The Evolving Landscape of Your Heart

Secondary progressions are a symbolic "day for a year" predictive technique that reveals your inner psychological development. The movement of the progressed Sun and progressed Venus, and thus the progressed Sun/Venus midpoint, reflects the evolving nature of your identity and values.

When the progressed Sun/Venus midpoint aspects a natal or progressed planet, it signifies a significant internal shift in your approach to love and relationships. These are not typically marked by single external events, but rather a gradual unfolding of your capacity to give and receive affection. For example, if the progressed Sun/Venus midpoint conjoins your natal Mars, you may experience a period where your romantic and assertive drives become more integrated, leading to a more direct and passionate expression of your desires.

The sign and house that the progressed Sun/Venus midpoint moves through will also color the long-term evolution of your love nature. A shift into a new sign can indicate a fundamental change in what you seek and value in a partner and in your creative expression.
