I can't find my previous post!! But I wanted to bump it again because it's coming up and relevant! sorry to those who already commented, I was hoping to review your responses.
Which Solar Return chart would you choose?
Either works for me. If you are interested in partnering, business or otherwise, go with the 2nd chart / planets in the 7th.
That option also have a better balance between private and public.
@elsa Thanks, Elsa 
the 3rd house emphasis looks nice but yes, with Saturn 4th transit - I'm pretty over enforced isolation
I would think your destiny is there whether you like it or not?
@shortpants It is, but I actually do get to choose my travel plans so it's fun to speculate. I'm moving around my birthday... but I agree whichever is chosen was meant to be...
Was just looking through some solar returns after progressing my chart to 2040s when my progressed ascendant meets my natal virgo moon. At that point looked at that year's solar return.. yikes transits all red
In my previous solar returns, I used to love the Scorpio rising years that falls into my natal 5th house (transforming years, I was pregnant 3 times with this rising :)).
Also I found Mars in the 5th interesting, as I took actions to express my true self (although it was not simple).
But I also really like to have the sun in the 5th, often very light-hearted joyful, pleasure-oriented years for me.
Not sure about Mars and Mercury in the 4th, never experienced this. Is this an exploration of some family roots or patterns ?
