What is Tea From The Galaxy?

A thirst quenching podcast for the girls, gays, theys, & astrology baes where we talk about anything & EVERYTHING through an astrological lens.

Serena:

Hello. Welcome to tea from the galaxy with Angelfish Astro, a thirst quenching podcast for the girls gays theys and astrology baes where we talk about anything and everything through an astrological lens. My birthday just passed on July 8, and you know what that means. It was my solar return. I was like, I have to do a episode on this.

Serena:

I always get questions of how do you predict your future using astrology. And predictive astrology is one of my favorite types of readings that I do. I love predictive astrology. I use predictive astrology to determine when to do certain things, when to not do certain things, the timing of things. It gives me reasons as to what's energetically happening.

Serena:

One predictive chart that astrologers read and use is called a solar return chart. And, basically, a solar return chart is kind of like your birth chart. Your birth chart is a screenshot of the sky at the time of your birth. Your solar return chart is a screenshot of the sky at the moment that the sun returns to the same exact position that it was at the time of your birth. So with your solar return chart, your sun will always be at the same degrees as it is in your birth chart.

Serena:

That's the only planet that will always be at the same because it is the return of the sun, the solar return chart. But all the planets move. And also the position of the sun can be in a different house as well. And the house placements that the planet lays in flavors the planet a little bit different too. So although I still a Cancer son, I'm always going to be a Cancer son in every solar return reading.

Serena:

The sun laying in the fifth house definitely made me more attuned with my inner child. Children was of importance. Being a creative was important. Romance, dating, socializing. This is just one type of chart that you can read to kind of predict certain themes of your year.

Serena:

And it's the year from one birth age to the next. So I just turned 27. So this solar return chart is going to tell me certain themes that of things is going to happen to me, how I'm going to feel, how I'm going to absorb emotions, the type of relationships I'm going to encounter from the age of 27 until the age of 28. It's not like the year of 2025. It is from one birthday to the next birthday.

Serena:

This isn't to say this is the only chart to look at to see how your year is going to go. Transits, where the planets are moving in real time, transits on top of your birth star and how transit planets interact with your natal planets are most important to predict certain things that are going to happen to you. But a solar return chart is definitely nice to read to see certain themes, how you're going to deal with things, just big areas of life that are going to be of importance for this year. Definitely read transits and prioritize transit readings to for predictive astrology. There's also other things like perfections and progression, astrology, mumbo jumbo, but those are also very important as well.

Serena:

There's something called a perfection year. And when you turn a certain age, there's a certain area of life that's supposedly of big importance for everyone who is of that age. Me just turning 27, I am in a fourth house perfection year now. And the fourth house rules things of your family life, your living situation, your parents. A lot of 27 year olds, if you're 27, you're also going through a fourth house perfection year, and it just means that these are underlining huge themes, whether there's a lot that's shifting for you in this area of your life or you're thinking a lot.

Serena:

You're thinking heavy about where you're living, where you want to live, redecorating your house, planting roots, where do you wanna plant roots? Maybe there's a lot shifting in your family dynamic within your parents. You're thinking about your own family dynamic, your future family dynamic. But by reading your solar return chart and looking at the transits, if there's anything in your solar return chart in your fourth house or any transit planets going through your fourth house might show of how important or how much changes are actually going to go down in that area of your life that is your perfection year. Since my birthday just passed, and I know everything that happened to me from my 20 birthday until the day I turned 27, I thought that we could reflect on my solar return from last year, so from 2024 until 2025.

Serena:

And I can kinda give a rundown of my solar return chart, how I read it, how to read it, and kind of things that came true came into fruition. So for when you guys wanna read your solar return chart, if you guys have similar aspects or whatnot, you might go through similar things. So you can read the solar return chart how it is, but you also have to place your solar return chart on top of your natal chart and see if your solar return planets or aspects are aspecting your natal planets or aspects in any type of way. That means it's going to highlight and trigger certain things in your life. Well, we can then, at the end of the video, take a little look at my solar return chart of this year.

Serena:

And we could, you know, let's make some predictions or whatnot. But most of this video is going to be me reflecting on my last year's solar return chart, and how I read it, and how to read it. But we can do a little rundown of how to read a solar return chart. So basically the solar return chart, when you think of your own natal chart, the sun is your identity, conscious wants. It's who you are, your ego.

Serena:

Your moon sign is your subconscious needs. It's who you are emotionally. It's how you absorb emotion, what you emotionally need, how you emotionally are. Your rising sign is it's your perspective on life. It is your outward appearance, your aesthetic.

Serena:

It is the lens that you look at and view the world. Your Venus sign is your how you love, how you are in relationships, your financial situation as well. Mercury sign, how you communicate, how you absorb information, how you learn, how you teach. So when we know that from a natal chart and a birth chart reading, we can kind of switch it over to the solar return chart. This is how you are going to act this year.

Serena:

For example, in my birth chart, I am a Cancer Sun, Capricorn Moon, Scorpio rising. But in my solar return chart for 2024 until 2025, I was a Cancer sun in the fifth house, Leo moon in the sixth house, and a Pisces rising.

Serena:

So I am about to show you a clip from my 20 birthday making a few predictions for my 2024 to 2025 solar return.

Serena:

This is my solar return chart. I'm liking the sun and Venus in the fifth house. Leo Moon in the sixth house makes sense. I'm feeling the vibe of, like, wanting to, you know, put myself first, focus on my needs. Working a lot, Saturn in the first house, sixth house placements, Taurus Mars in the third house.

Serena:

I definitely feel myself work gonna be working a lot because there's a focus on wanting to make more money. There's been a focus on that for me lately, which makes sense. The North Node is in my house of finances. So, like, the universe is, like, Serena. Let's get it together.

Serena:

Get in the bag, out the feels. Ruler of my ascendant in the fourth house is interesting because I have been thinking about wanting to purchase real estate. Heavily thinking about my next move.

Serena:

When I first read my solar return chart last year, which this past year was such a roller coaster, and literally my life probably shifted upside down two weeks after my birthday last year. When I first read my solar return chart last year, I was on a vacation for my birthday. I was dating someone at the time. It was a little staycation. I was reading this chart and I saw a sun in the fifth house, Venus in the fifth house in Cancer.

Serena:

I was like, oh, it was maybe like our dating life gonna be more romantic. You know, it's gonna be maybe a little bit more fun and whatnot. Well, that's quickly take a turn because we broke up a couple weeks later. I immediately saw the Leo Moon. And when I was reading this last year, I was like, oh, I'm definitely gonna be more selfish this year, and I definitely was.

Serena:

This past year, the year of '26 was definitely probably one of the most selfish years I've ever lived, and it was selfish in a way that I just always put my needs first. And that is a big Leo moon thing. And a lot of Leo moons do this subconsciously. They don't even realize that they're doing this. And it's not always like being selfish is not always a bad quality.

Serena:

Leo moons subconsciously put their needs first. It's easier for them to put their needs first versus other moon signs aren't always like that. Other other moon signs, like, say, Libra moons, tend to put a lot of other people's emotions before themselves because they love harmony so much. They they they need peace. They crave the peace that they will sacrifice their own peace for the sake of other people's peace.

Serena:

But Leo moons, they don't really think like that so much. They're more so, like, this is what I need, so I'm gonna go after it. This is what I want. So I'm gonna go after it. This is what comforts me, so I'm gonna surround myself with it.

Serena:

It's easier for them to do that. And I definitely felt myself being in the Leo moon era this past year, and I needed that. It wasn't even in a selfish, I only think about myself type of way. It was, I have not been selfish for a very long time and I need to do what I need to do. If I don't want to go out, I'm not going to go out.

Serena:

If I don't want to do that, I'm not going to do that. If I don't want to work this job, I'm not going to work this job. If I don't want to hang out with these people, I'm not going to hang out with these people. As a Capricorn moon natally, dealing with emotions, not the most emotional type of person. Takes them a while to process emotions as well.

Serena:

They're not very quick to open up. And they can kind of put their feelings on the back burner because they got shit to do and they got work to That is not completely disregarding who I am. It's not like, oh, I'm a Leo moon this year, so I'm not a Capricorn moon anymore. It is just how you absorb emotions and how you deal with emotions. This year is gonna be a little bit more like a Leo moon.

Serena:

And I definitely felt that within myself, feeling like a Leo moon the past year. In a very selfish era, which I'm not used to really being. Usually, sacrifice myself for the sake of other people. I always had the mentality as as long as those that I love around me are good, that I'm good. But this year, it was like, I need to be good so I can be good.

Serena:

And that was a big era on that. My solar return moon in Leo was also touching my solar return Mercury in Leo as well. And this is where we need to see how it's interacting with your natal placements and your birth chart placements. It was right on top of my natal Leo Mercury at 11 degrees. So things that this could mean when your solar return moon is laying on top of your natal mercury.

Serena:

Definitely finding new ways to communicate my emotions. That was a huge thing, especially communicating my emotional needs. So this year was a huge year of like turning inward and being selfish with myself and learning my own needs again so I can learn how to communicate what I actually need, which was something that I was struggling with in my past relationship, I feel like, in a lot of my past relationships. Healthily communicating what my emotional needs. Being your solar return moon touching your natal mercury can also mean reflecting heavy on how my feelings and emotions affect my thought processes.

Serena:

This was definitely a year of finding new coping mechanism. Having your solar return moon touching your natal mercury as well. It could be a an extreme call to want to now express your emotions. And these, my solar return placements falls in my natal tenth house, my my Leo tenth house. The tenth house is a point of, you know, your public image.

Serena:

It's the highest point in your chart. And this was the year that I decided that I wanted to start a podcast because I want to alchemize everything that I've been through, which is so opposite Scorpio rising of me. Scorpio rising is I'm used to like, you know, being secretive and, not quick to open up. I have a Capricorn moon too. Not not quick to be vulnerable.

Serena:

And this year was the most vulnerable that I felt and wanting to be vulnerable with other people. Still struggle with my personal relationships, but really just alchemizing my pain, being more compassionate with myself. That was the Pisces rising in the solar return chart. Being vulnerable, being compassionate with myself, and really just wanting to voice my emotions to the world. This was those Leo placements falling in my natal tenth house.

Serena:

That was like a huge thing that I realized this year. This year, I came up with the idea of wanting to start this podcast. But yeah, needing better communication, focusing on my mental health as your moon sign is who you are subconsciously and your mercury sign is your mentality. So there's just a there's a heavy focus on mental health things. And we also see that because my solar return Pluto was in my solar return twelfth house.

Serena:

Pluto rules transformation, death, rebirth. The twelfth house is the house of mental health, subconscious, spiritual, isolation. Pluto in the solar return chart, you can it can show you where and what area of your life that you're going to transform and have a lot of transformation or a lot of death and rebirth experiences in. And I found a lot of transformation through moments of isolation and being alone and connecting spiritually. Because not only did I have Pluto in the twelfth house of isolation, but I had the ruler of my rising sign was in my fourth house of home.

Serena:

So these two combination aspects just showed me that I was gonna spend a lot of time in isolation, probably in my house alone and in isolation and just really digging deep and tracking just generational trauma, studying generational trauma, studying childhood trauma, studying why I am the way that I am, especially subconsciously. This year was a very heavy spiritual year for me. One of my awards for 2025 has been surrender, which is half of my solar return year. So surrendering has been a huge theme in my life for the majority of this solar return year. And honestly, that is really what I did.

Serena:

One thing that stuck out to me with this solar return chart was although I was a Pisces rising and Pisces is ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is a nice planet. It's a planet of luck, abundance, opportunities. You know, Pisces rising is a nice rising sign to have in a solar return chart. So instead of, you know, it's not disregarding me being a Scorpio rising, it's just how I am viewing the world.

Serena:

My outlook on the world was a little bit more like a Pisces rising, a little bit more spiritual, a little bit more compassionate, a little bit more go with the flow, a little bit more fluid. But Saturn was in my first house. And I definitely felt like I felt that. Saturn in the first house, whether it's a transit or in your solar return chart, just means that this year and time period is going to be an extreme period of maturation, of wisdom, of feeling wiser, feeling older, going through a lot of obstacles, almost like a little gray cloud over your head is how I describe Saturn. But Saturn is like that strict parent that really just wants you to mature.

Serena:

Saturn wants us to evolve. Saturn is a very karmic planet too. And I felt like this year was a heavy karmic year for me. And having Saturn in your first house is definitely a karmic year. If you have a Saturn in your first house, just know that it's gonna be a very karmic year and a very year of settling down, getting serious.

Serena:

And It for sure was. Not only was it in my first house, but it was touching my solar return ascendant too. So definitely felt I felt way older and wiser this year. This was the first year that I kept saying I was 27 before I was actually 27. Like, would be 26 and people would ask me how old I was and I was saying that I was 27.

Serena:

I just felt older. I felt wiser. I felt like a little bit of a gray curl out over my head for sure. This year was definitely the dark night of the soul type of year for me, a time of turning inward. I got sober this year.

Serena:

I wasn't socializing as much. I really wasn't dating as much as well, which this is why not only just looking at your solar return chart, but looking at the solar return chart on top of your natal chart is very important. Because if I was just looking at the solar return chart and I saw Venus and the sun in the fifth house, I would think it would be like a very romantic type of year, socializing social type of year for me. But because on top of my solar return chart that Pisces Saturn with the Pisces rising is in my natal fifth house, it just showed that not only was I going to get really serious this year and mature a lot this year, but it was going to bring a lot of boundaries and seriousness surrounding fun in my life, surrounding socializing, surrounding dating, romance, creative hobbies. So although Venus and the Sun was in the fifth house, I think it manifested in a way that I was way more creative this year and prioritizing my creative endeavors, which is that of astrology, content creation and doing this podcast and stuff.

Serena:

But my solar return Saturn in my natal fifth house, it just brought a lot of boundaries and seriousness surrounding a lot of fun. It is a very sobering energy. Saturn in the first house, Saturn in the fifth house is sobering energy. And that's exactly what happened to me. I literally got sober.

Serena:

I stopped drinking, I stopped smoking and everything. So this was like a literal manifestation of that. Neptune solar return Neptune was also in the first house as well. And this can manifest as and having a Pisces rising in the solar return, you could feel like you are unsure of yourself. You don't really know who you are.

Serena:

You almost feel like a shadow of yourself or you're constantly, like, losing and finding yourself or people are constantly misinterpreting you as well. So that was definitely a thing. I felt like I was a baby calf learning how to walk, like a baby giraffe learning how to walk. Like, that's literally how I felt this year. Relearning who I was, especially being sober.

Serena:

And in my past going from like back to back failed relationships, I knew that this year I kind of just had to focus on myself and I would go on dates here and there, but honestly, not many. A couple of dates within the span of the year, I really knew that I needed to focus on myself and really get serious. And, you know, this year made me realize that no one is coming to save me, that I have to save myself. And there are things that I want. I want my dream family.

Serena:

I do want my dream partner. I want, you know, more stabilization in my life. I'm sick of just always being on the run or always being in fight or flight. But in order for me to accomplish these things, I need to get more serious about myself. Another thing that in my solar return chart that showed me that I needed to get more serious about myself and my productivity and taking care of myself so I can take care of my future family, you know, stuff like that, was having the moon and mercury in the solar return sixth house as well.

Serena:

The sixth house rules things of your daily routine, how you your health and fitness, your job, how you take care of yourself in the daily. So having the moon and Mercury there, there's a heavy focus on needing to I have an emotional connection with what I do for work, but also reflecting a lot more on how to take better care of myself on the daily, reflecting on focusing on my daily routine, how I take care of myself, and how my place of work really affects me emotionally, and needing better communication at work as well. So the first of this solar return year, I was working three jobs. And there was a heavy focus on which jobs brought me life and which jobs drained me. And in February of this year, quit one of my jobs.

Serena:

It was a sales job. It was basically like my day job, basically like a nine to five. And that one just really no emotional ties to it. And it really showed it was really draining me. Other than that, just a really big focus on how my physical health affects my mental health and my productivity.

Serena:

So that kind of goes hand in hand and like me realizing that going sober not only is better for my physical health, but better for my productivity as well. And me being sober and not focusing on drinking and partying and, you know, going out all the time and all these things. I am just being more productive in my days and focusing more on creating a better future for myself, not giving into instant gratification, whether that is romantic relationships, lust, sex, drugs, drinking, overeating, anything, all types of instant gratification. I was definitely killing this year, realizing that I can't continue living like this if I want the type of future that I want, that I always dream of. Another thing that stuck out in my solar return chart.

Serena:

So I had my solar return Mars conjunct Uranus in the third house. So the third house rules things of how we commute on the daily, our cars, our daily commute. And this past year, I had so many car problems and traveling problems, short term travel, which is a third house thing too, like traveling to work, traveling to the grocery store or whatnot. This whole year was a shit show with my car literally like two weeks after my birthday or a week after my birthday, I got into a car accident. My car was in the shop for months.

Serena:

So now I'm like Ubering everywhere. And this was another reason that was that caused me to isolate too, because I didn't have a car and I could only Uber so much. Like I was spending so much money on Uber and problems with my car. I was supposed to get it in the shop and then parts weren't coming in. So I was in the shop longer and then problems with my license because I was switching over from a New Jersey license into a Florida license.

Serena:

So I didn't have a license at certain time periods throughout the year. So I just couldn't drive. It was like, I have my car, then I didn't. Then I have my car, then I didn't. And then I could drive and I couldn't drive.

Serena:

Then I had Uber everywhere. And oh my god, that was like such a big theme. And it's just very much Mars and the third house. Car accidents, like, that was such a literal manifestation of this and car problems, and Uranus brings unexpected events, and that's literally what it was, like a roller coaster. Uranus is a roller coaster.

Serena:

It was a roller coaster of my driving situation and my daily commute. Such a shit show. Having my solar return rising being rolled by Jupiter Planet of luck was a big blessing this year because although I went through a lot and this year was definitely a quiet, dark, internal year for me. A lot, a big year of introspection and turning inward and facing my shadow self and, you know, stop putting, stop victimizing myself and start putting the blame on myself as to why I am the way I am and why certain things happen in my life. I had a lot of blessings in the same breath and a lot of things that worked in my favor and a lot of things I was saved from as well.

Serena:

Especially, I don't want to too deep into it, but I was in a some type of legal thing and it worked in my favor. And I think not only was it because my solar return was ruled by Jupiter, but my Cancer Sun and Venus and my solar return chart laid in my natal ninth house. And ninth house rules things of, you know, law and type of court cases and court matters and stuff like that. And Venus is a benefic planet. So Venus and Jupiter were on my side this year for sure.

Serena:

It's my solar return Neptune in Pisces touching my natal Jupiter in Pisces, making this year a very spiritual year. I actually came up with the idea of this podcast through a meditation that I had after the event that happened after my 20 birthday that kind of slipped my life upside down and really was the beginning of the entering of me walking into a very internal dark night of the soul type of era of the year. I turned to spirituality for saving grace. It was almost like when you're at rock bottom, you have nowhere to go but up. And my turning point was to my spiritual beliefs and to astrology and to a higher power and a higher calling.

Serena:

And I really think that spiritual nature not only transformed me, but helped me and me being very spiritual this year and almost a little bit delusional too. That's the solar return Neptune on top of the Jupiter. Neptune and Jupiter are very spiritual planet, you know, emphasizing that spirituality and being a spiritual being on top of being a Pisces rising. And my solar return chart was very heavy and was a huge theme for my life this year. Hi, guys.

Serena:

I just want to quickly interrupt this video to let you guys know that I do birth chart readings. Hello. I'm an astrologer. If you guys wanted to book a birth chart reading with me, these are a couple of the readings that I do offer. I offer a regular birth chart reading.

Serena:

It's a breakdown of your birth chart. This is a perfect reading for beginners. For all my readings that I offer, they you have an option of getting it prerecorded, and I'll send it through a private YouTube link over to you or face to face on Zoom. I also offer what is happening to me right now astrologically type of reading, the reading for what is currently happening to you and what is about to happen to you in terms of astrology. I offer dream career readings.

Serena:

This is perfect for if you feel a little lost career wise, if you want to dive more into your life purpose and your higher self, your life's destiny, and the perfect work environment for you, offer love life readings. So there's one of two ways you can get this reading done. One, if it's just you, I can tell you who your perfect partner is based off your birth chart. Also, what your love life is looking like currently, if you are single or even if you are in a relationship and you kind of want to know what is happening now or in the future with you and your partner. The second option is compatibility readings.

Serena:

And this is where you and your partner can get a compatibility reading done by me to see the synergy and compatibility between your guys' charts as things that are really good about your relationship, things that you should work on from an astrologer's point of view. I will link all these readings down below. If you follow me on Instagram, t from the galaxy or angel fish astro, I have it in my bio under my SnipFeed account. I have all the different readings that I offer. You can click on them and book with me straight from the link.

Serena:

My this year's solar return chart and what I think is going to happen. So this year's solar return chart, the sun and the rising sign are both in Cancer. So similar to last year, I have a very still emotional, intuitive, very high end intuitive outlook on the world. So I, natally, have a have a water rising. So very similar energy, very heightened intuition, which I feel like my intuition last year was very heightened as well.

Serena:

So I think it's going to continue being very heightened. Having Jupiter in the first house as well, I think expanding my knowledge, expanding my wisdom, expanding my spirituality, not only within myself, but to other people as well is going to continue being a big theme. Listening to my gut, I think is going to be a big thing and very focused on myself still. So last year I had the Leo moon, but this year, I have the sun in the first house. So it's similar themes in the way that a big focus of my attention and my needs or my my wants and what I want to focus on is really just continuing to build myself up.

Serena:

The Jupiter in the first house worries me a little bit in the way that Jupiter in the first in the first house solar return and transit wise could signify sometimes of you gaining weight. So I hope that doesn't happen to me. I mean, hope I like gain weight in my ass, but I hope I don't gain weight anywhere else. That's just one way it can manifest because the first house is how you physically appear to the world as well. Yeah, no, I think it's just going to be a continuation of me expanding my knowledge and wisdom, spiritual beliefs, continuing learning astrology because these cancer placements and my solar return lays in my ninth house and my natal chart.

Serena:

The ninth house rules things of long distance travel, spirituality, astrology, you know, learning more. It's expanding your horizon. So whether that is expanding your wisdom on something, expanding your knowledge on something, going back to school, I have this intuitive feeling of going back to school or maybe not per se school, but, like, just taking more classes and just really learning more about spirituality and astrology. I also think I'm gonna travel a lot more this year. Last year, I was definitely way more of a homebody.

Serena:

And we saw that. So I didn't travel a lot last year. So I was way more internal, way more of a homebody last year. So I think this year I'm definitely going to travel more. Another reason that I think that as well and it could possibly be for work.

Serena:

So I don't know traveling for this podcast and like meeting people. I'm already slowly doing that. You know traveling to speak to different people for this podcast because I have my moon in the sixth house of work in Sagittarius. Sagittarius rules long distance travel. So the combination of that is could be traveling long distances for work.

Serena:

But I still have the moon in the sixth house like I did last year. And I think that is just an emphasis on moderation and balance and my how I take care of myself on the daily. So, you know, really last year I learned that I need to take better care of myself physically. And I think this year is just a continuation of that because when you are doing good physically, you're doing good mentally and vice versa. But needing to really remember that balance and, like, continuously reminding myself of that because solar return at Jupiter is exactly opposite my Capricorn natal moon.

Serena:

And a Jupiter moon opposition usually means, like, you need to find the balance between regulating your emotions. There's a tendency of being of doing too much, being overextravagant, overindulging, be either being way too happy, way too angry, way too sad, just like an opposition is needing to find the balance. So a moon's Jupiter opposition isn't the worst aspect, but it is the can point to doing too much. So needing to remind myself to calm it down and to not ride extremely high emotions and make decisions on really high emotions is going to be a theme for me this year. So hold me accountable guys.

Serena:

Okay, I have my Mercury return happening. So my solar return Mercury is exactly on top of my natal Mercury. And this means that I'm just going be communicating way differently this year or learning different ways of communicating different communication styles, connecting with people differently, using my voice differently. So I kind of see that a little bit with the podcast. The podcast is definitely helping me with my public speaking and how I like to speak and use my voice.

Serena:

Really like that my solar return North Node to the point of destiny is touching my mid haven, which is my professional self in Pisces. This just shows me that I am in alignment with my higher self and it lays in my Pisces fifth house natally of creativity. So I think like this is what I'm meant to be doing, or I'm in alignment to where I'm meant to be, which is being a creative and spiritual person and spreading that word with other people and really alchemizing what I've been through connecting with other people spiritually. The Mars in the third house again scares me because I'm like, yo, are these car problems gonna continue? So I'm definitely going to watch how I'm driving.

Serena:

The solar return Mars and Virgo in the third house, though, does lay in my natal eleventh house. And these are big networking houses. The third house rules like the people that you communicate with and social connect with on the daily. The eleventh house is your friend group's social networking. And I really feel that for myself, and that's a goal for myself this year to really connect with my community more, to make more groups of friends, to network myself more.

Serena:

So I'm really hoping that is a goal. And Mars is like where your passions lie. It's where you're motivated, your actions, your desires. So that in your solar return chart is where a lot of your energy and focus is on for that year too. So I definitely feel that that because because that is a goal for my for me.

Serena:

So hopefully, is something that I accomplish this next year. Venus in the twelfth house conjunct Uranus in the twelfth house as well as another thing that I'm like, come on, where's the stable love for me? Where's the stable love Venus in the twelfth house can point to like secret love affairs, secret lovers, your people close to you keeping things, just destabilization in your relationships or financial situation. So I'm definitely gonna make sure that I am saving money and not overly spending. But Venus in the twelfth house could also mean like a very spiritual lover comes into your life or a very karmic lover, very transformational love, especially because it is going to be exactly opposite my natal Pluto.

Serena:

So this shows me that there could be people entering my life that really transforms my idea of love and relationships or transforms my financial situation. Honestly, you know, I have my natal moon in my solar return seventh house, but I don't know if I'm really gonna enter. I can't read it if I'm really gonna enter a relationship. I feel like I am going to enter a relationship, and I hope that it's a really good one, and I hope it's not a fucked up one. The Venus in the twelfth house is not like the best, but it does lay in my natal eighth house and it's opposite Pluto.

Serena:

So this could either be really fucking great and amazing or just really not. But I'm hoping, like, you know, I've really been working on myself. So I'm hoping that I'm gonna receive some good karmic lovers and entering my life. Having a Sagittarius moon and a Gemini Venus in my solar return chart. I have a Gemini Venus in my natal chart, but I really feel like this is just a year where I'm just much more free.

Serena:

Last year felt restrictive. Last year felt like I put myself on time out. This year, definitely feels a lot more free, a lot more explorative, a lot more open minded, a lot more wanting risk taking, a lot more wanting to put myself out there, a lot more wanting to connect more and connect with different people. I have a positive outlook on this year, so I'm pretty excited. So, yeah, that is the solar return breakdown of this video.

Serena:

I hope you guys enjoyed listening to me rant about solar returns. I will catch you guys in the next video.
