So as today is my birthday, I pulled my Solar Return chart and I used both Equal and Placidus house systems, just to see if there are major differences. And with Equal system, I have a bundle of planets in 8th house, whereas with Placidus, they are in my 9th house. Of course, I would rather have them in the 9th, because 8th house scares me when it comes to Solar Return.
I would need your opinion on what does this year would be about for me. From my little knowledge, if I look at the packed 8th house, it would mean more transformation and maybe isolation, mentally? And if I take into consideration Placidus, it would mean revising my principles? I really don't know if I got anything right. With all this virus situation, I guess there is not much to do than go inward, but maybe there is more to it.
Happy Birthday and many more!
Happy birthday to us - it’s my birthday too! What a whopper! I just have a quick thought -
I use whole sign houses so I would say your 8th house is definitely the hot one. Sorry! But it is the house of shared resources, does that apply? In a societal sense of course it does, as all the shared resources are shut down right now. But maybe your personal shared resources are also in high focus these days? And Jupiter conjunct Mars in the 8th could be juicy.
I have much more of a feel for your 8th house situation than my 10th house since I’m not working any more. Oh well, we should check back here next year to compare notes!
Happy Birthday 
Which ever house you use, it looks like transformation will be a big theme; because of the Capricorn Stellium with Pluto involved. Pluto = transformation.
What might be more useful is to look where that Stellium falls in your natal chart and any aspects, patterns that are triggered .... you're likely to get more clarity.
My personal view is that looking at solar charts or other return charts in isolation without considering the natal chart, is like trying to drive a car (solar return chart) without an engine (natal chart).
Happy birthday to you too, Aspire!
Sorry to hear you will.not be working 🙁 I was just discussing this with my mother, how this pandemic will afect a lot of people in this sense. Why do you say sorry about my 8th house? Is it that bad? 🙁
@Osiris, this stellium falls in my ascendant natally...to be honest I don't know when this transformation will end or what do I need more in order for it to be closer to "complete" (for this period, because we always transform, but some periods are more focused on this than others).
Happy birthdays!
