Jupiter in SR Houses

Jupiter of SR in the Houses of the Solar Return

Its a fairly important element of the SR: it tells where youll find your main resources
during the twelve months to which the Solar Return refers. Youll see that the help of
Jupiter will be crucial for the overall result for the year. Jupiter may give you a helping
hand both in a propulsive way it gives a trump card for a precise play! and by acting as a
"ind of guardian angel it restrains the damage of a certain situation!. Yet# you should
"eep an eye on the way Jupiter $wor"s in the following three Houses: the second# the
seventh# and the eighth. %ften# in these three houses the lord of Sagittarius reveals a
behaviour which is opposite to its classical one. It is something similar to what I wrote
about the transit of Jupiter in the same three Houses of the birth chart.
Jupiter in the First House of SR: Its effect is usually very positive concerning recovery
from a state of depression# or from physical and mental de&ections' convalescence after
surgery' release from a period of financial# professional# sentimental# or familial trouble'
end of a brea"down due to a death or a very bad disillusion# and so on. (ith Jupiter so
placed# individuals who usually act with a massive dose of distrust would tend to lower
their guard# considering others with more trust than usual. (ith this position of Jupiter#
people act with more naivety and more uncritically. )his Jupiter is favourable for social
contacts# for opening doors of any "ind' but it may be harmful in view of the possibility
of being swindled by fellow human beings. You must be careful# because this position of
Jupiter fattens people# for it ma"es them rela* and it gladdens their heart.
In the most negative cases# it may favour the proliferations of all "inds + even the
pathological ones. )hus it may mean hypertrophy in general# immoderation#
e*aggerations# overvaluations. ,onetheless# even when you read this position as a
problematic one# you must consider that Jupiter is basically a positive planet# and that it
has to be considered as one of the most powerful protections for ones health# and in
general# a bearer of good luc". -oreover# if its very close to the .scendant its a real
$/ro0ac of the stars# for it reveals an e*tremely valid antidepressant performance: it may
be a real relief after a bad year.
In the Second House of SR# Jupiter is in one of the three adverse positions that we have
to consider carefully. In the section about the transits of Jupiter you can read what I wrote
about the bistable oscillator. 1ets repeat it once again here in brief. . bistable oscillator
is an electronic circuit that determines the inversion of the output signal for any input
impulse. 2or instance# assume that the oscillator switches on an output bulb when the first
impulse arrives. If a second impulse arrives the oscillator switches the bulb off. .t the
third impulse# it switches the bulb on again# and so on. )his mean that the position of
Jupiter in the three aforementioned Houses usually induces an inversion of the previous
condition. Jupiter in the 3nd House of SR means certainly an increased circulation of
money# but it may be either an input or an output of money. %nly a general outloo" of the
individuals current situation helps you understand in which way this Jupiter will wor".
Here are some e*amples. If you find this position in a SR with other Houses involved
such as the 43th# the 4st# or the 5th House# it almost certainly means loss of money. If the
SR refers to dealers or businessmen whose Saturn is transiting their 3nd or 6th radi*
house# then it almost means certainly an outflow of money. If the individual is ma"ing
repairs at home# or if he is purchasing an estate# and his SR shows an occupation of the
7th House# then it indicates cash disbursements + a real a drain of money. %n the
contrary# if the SR shows an occupation of the 7th House and the native is selling an
estate# then this Jupiter should mean an inflow of money + much money. If you stic" to
this reasoning# you should be able to understand the direction of the flow of capital with a
good degree of precision. If a wor"er has been laid off and he has got bad transits# with a
Jupiter in the 3nd House of SR he might even lose his &ob and reduced to penury. %f
course# as they say: last but not least + you have to consider the birth chart of the native.
2or if you are able to ma"e a fortune selling grasshoppers in .frica# or refrigerators in
.las"a# then you are able to increase your income even with this celestial position. If you
were unluc"y with money since birth# e*pect to face further financial trouble with this
celestial position. Such a position may also indicate an increased $presence of the native#
who will probably participate in )8 programs or public ceremonies# or his picture may
appear on a paper or be broadcast in the news# during the year of this SR. )he native may
also show an increased interest and receive particular satisfaction! in the fields of
photography# theatre# graphics# design# computer+aided graphics# commercial art. He
might decide to purchase tools to operate in the aforementioned fields of activity. )he
native may even become more beautiful than"s to a diet# a new loo"# a different hairstyle#
a fine new set of teeth# plastic surgery# or by simply growing a new beard and9or a
moustache# and so on. He ta"es more care in dressing. (ith this position of Jupiter it is
almost impossible that the native does not purchase a monitor or a large screen television
set# or that he does not become "een# maybe occasionally# on ta"ing pictures or videos.
/robably his picture will be published in the papers# or maybe he improves his sight by
having his eyes operated with laser surgery. If hes an actor# he will perform more during
the year# for instance he may appear often in a )8 commercial.
When Jupiter is in the Third House of SR it simply# although very often# indicates the
purchase of a new car or of a new motorcycle# or a motor scooter# a bicycle# a van# or any
other means of transport. It also points to possible travels and much movement. It may
announce a new &ob# or a new love affair# or a new therapy involving commuting +
usually# a happy and easy commuting. It further portends much communication. You may
purchase a new mobile phone# a cordless phone# a fa* machine# a local e*change# a
satellite dish# a modem# an .:S1 connection# a printer# a new word processor. ;ood
news arrives to you by letter# by cable# by fa*# or by telephone. You e*perience good luc"
in your education.
<niversity students may pass e*ams brilliantly. You stand good chances to win contests
and tenders. You may ta"e part in courses not only as students# but also as teachers. You
may ta"e advantage of this situation by enrolling in courses of languages# in training
courses with computers# in pursuing postgraduate =ualifications# in demanding
wor"shops' or ta"ing part in seminars# debates# or teach+ins. Its a good time for writing.
You may receive positive criticisms from the press. )here may be very good news from
your brothers# sisters# cousins# and brothers+in+law or sisters+in+law. If you suffer from a
pulmonary pathology# you can e*pect to recover from it. ;ood business ideas# luc"y
decisions. (ith such a position many individuals learn how to use a computer. 2or
instance# a learned man who had been writing for fifty years with pen and paper may start
using -S+(ord under this celestial configuration. -any natives get their first driving
license or boating license# regardless of their age.
Jupiter in the Fourth House of SR almost inevitably means advantages from real estate.
It may result in a good trading or transfer of property' an important business or a move'
or restoration or renovation of your house or your office# your wor"shop# your shop# or
your wor"room> )his refers to your own property as well as the places where you
operate from. 2or instance# a ban" cler" may be transferred to another# more comfortable
agency under this celestial position. You must sei0e this opportunity if you plan to
purchase a house. It is a very good position for those who wish to ta"e possession of their
own house after years of difficulties of different "inds. Jupiter in the 7th may also be a
time for individuals to eventually ta"e a rest at home after having travelled for years.
You may inherit a real estate. 2rom a different point of view# this position may indicate a
better condition for your parents or parents+in+law!# particularly of your father or
father+in+law!. )hey may improve their financial# professional# sentimental# or health
condition. Improvement of habitat may also refer to your parents or in+laws it may be
also your boyfriends or your girlfriends parents!. Your relationship with your parents
gets better. You may purchase a camper van or a time+share flat. You may rent a new
studio or gar?onni@re. You purchase new hard dis"s or other devices to increase the
memory of your computer. Jupiter in the 7th House may also indicate that you recover
serenity at home or at wor". You may get to feel fine once again there after a period of
troubles. Ironically# this position may refer to diseases as well. In fact you might spend
much time at home# and en&oying it# simply because you are sic" and you cannot go to
wor".
Usually Jupiter in the Fifth House of SR is rather spectacular and it facilitates very
much the birth of new love affairs and new flirtations# unless the natives birth chart
shows that hes sub&ect to bad luc" in this field. Aeep in mind the remar"s that follow.
-any users of astrology are persons with a shallow "nowledge of the sub&ect. )hey thin"
that such a position should grant them the right to get love# always. In fact# things are a
little different. 2or instance# lets tal" about inaugurations. I often happened to be as"ed to
indicate a good date for the opening of a commercial enterprise. .nd then# years later# my
client complained that things had gone very wrong financially despite my good piece of
advice. (ell# this is =uite logical + in fact the variables involved are not only of the
astrological "ind. %ne has to ta"e into due account the mar"et conditions. )hus# if you try
to sell furs in a tropical country# your enterprise is bound to fail even if it was born under
a wonderful s"y. Similarly# if a definitely ugly man or a not really charming one! tries to
woo a woman during a party of young# bold and beautiful cadets of a naval academy# you
can easily guess that he stands very little chance to con=uer the heart of a lady. )hus this
celestial position may bring a new wonderful love affair or the return of the beloved one
in the period spanning from one birthday to the following birthday# provided that there
are ob&ective conditions for it to happen. In any case# the native has more fun during the
year of such a Solar Return. )his fun may derive from playing cards# videogames# music#
using the computer# but also reading classic literature. Bven boring boo"s will do.
Sometimes I happened to listen to many people who admitted after their Solar Return
had come to an end! that they did have fun# although it had been a matter of simply
discovering the pleasure of having conversations with people after a period of seclusion.
Jupiter here also announces possible sports# more cinemas and more theatre. (ith such a
Jupiter people tend to go out to dinner# to concerts# to the disco# to the country more
often. )hey also have more se*. You should receive good news from your "ids or from
young people in general this has particularly reference to teachers!. You may overcome a
problem relevant to your children. You may also have a baby# even if you dont wish.
(ith this celestial position the natives fertility increases dramatically# be it a male or a
female. %nly in e*tremely rare cases# you have to read this position as a negative one: for
instance# it may involve troubles from your children. Still about love + the most popular
sub&ect of all + I must add that Jupiter in the Cth certainly heralds a nice year as far as se*
or love is concerned# provided that the native is not $tainted in this field. B*cept a few
cases# it usually forecasts a new meeting# or the return of an old flame. Some say to me:
$I am fond of Jeff. If its not Jeff# I am not interested in anybody else... (ell# stars are
much more long+sighted than the human being. )hus# often# even if its not Jeff + Jupiter
ma"es the native happy.
In the 6th House# the lord of Sagittarius is able to amend many a bad situation# as far as
ones health is concerned. In fact# it gives you good support in healing diseases and it
offers you often une*pected resources to enhance your psychophysical wellbeing. It also
acts very well during convalescences# and more in general# when you recover from hard
times due to sentimental# financial# professional trouble' or due to the death of a beloved
one. )herapies starting under such a Solar Return stand better chances to get positive#
concrete# definite results. It is a good time for surgery# especially for plastic surgery. You
can e*pect better wor"ing conditions# better human relationships at wor". It is advisable
to recruit new employees# collaborators# contributors# staff# domestic help during such a
SR. %ld grudges in your wor"ing environment your office# your company>! find a
solution. )he period may be good for a member of your staff too. It also may be that you
find that your &ob# previously considered as a hard and unpleasant tas"# is not so bad after
all and you reconsider your view about it. Jupiter in this position means advantages from
any "ind of therapy# such as mud+bath' thermal treatments' Shiatsu' physiotherapy'
fitness' slimming or deto*ifying diets> You may receive satisfaction from a pet.
Remember that the most protective positions for your health are the following: Jupiter
and 8enus in the 5th House of SR or Jupiter and 8enus in the 4st or 43th House of SR
the latter position# especially if the aforementioned planets are very close to the
.scendant# is certainly very good for this purpose# although it is usually inconvenient for
love life!.
In the Seventh House of SR# Jupiter behavior is more or less similar to that of its transit
of the natal Dth House. <sually# due to the $bistable effect that I have already described#
Jupiter lends you a helping hand and solves your troubles concerning your love life#
marriage# and anything related with stamped paper. If you are not involved in any affair
but you strongly wish to be involved + and if there are at least the theoretical
preconditions for that to happen + you can surely hope to have a promising encounter
during the twelve months of the Solar Return. It may be an important person with whom
you might establish a =uite steady relationship. .lso# if your love life has been recently
spoiled by a crisis# a temporary separation# and9or by incessant tensions# with the arrival
of a Solar Return with Jupiter in the Dth House you stand very good chances to overcome
your misunderstandings# and to restore the nice# peaceful and loving atmosphere of the
good old times. )he same happens for legal issues# lawsuits# legal proceedings# pending
issues with &ustice. If you are under investigation or if you are on trial# if you are engaged
in an e*hausting lawsuit# then its highly probable that youll find an important resource#
an une*pected help# a "ind of miraculous support# something or somebody who gets you
out of trouble or manages to produce a favourable &udgment + or at least# a sentence
which is not so bad for you. )he other way around# if you are having a wonderful time in
your love life and if you arent facing any trouble at all with the law# then Jupiter in the
Dth House may bring huge =uarrels# separations# even a divorce# stamped paper of all
"inds# troubles with &ustice# individuals or institutions attac"ing you# declared enemies#
and even more: with this Jupiter one can even e*pect to be a victim of acts of terrorism#
robberies or attempts of robbery. Someone might wound you. .s I said# it is not clear
how it really wor"s: still# having collected and studied thousands and thousands of charts
of Solar Returns# I can assert for certain that this rule proves to be true in the
overwhelming ma&ority of the cases# if not in all of them.
)he same reasoning can be ascribed to your partner# husband or wife# associates in
business# education# politics# etc. ,onetheless besides the bipolarity that I have defined as
$bistable theres another attribute that Ive often met with this celestial position. :uring
the twelve months of such a SR# your partner# boyfriend or girlfriend# husband or wife#
associate or whatever# is bound to stand out for some reason. )hey might recover from
bad health or they might grow in their profession or social position# and so on. It is a
good time# anyway# to ta"e somebody into partnership# if this is what you are loo"ing for.
Jupiter in the 8th House of SR# as well as in the 3nd House# means surely a definite
increased flow of money within the natives natural financial situation i.e. a few millions
for someone# billions for some others!. )his flow may be incomes or outflows depending
upon inheritance you ta"e possession of' donations' gambling wins' endowments'
pensions' severance pay' arrears' une*pected income' good transactions' or bro"erage'
but it may also be gambling losses' theft' huge e*penses for your house' your partners
debts' frauds you are a victim of' bad stoc" speculations or bad speculations in general'
money that you lent and that will never be returned# and so on.
If you dont pay attention# with this position you run the ris" of facing real drains of
money. Sometimes the effect of this Jupiter may be deceptive. 2or instance# it may help
you obtain a loan# a subsidy# a financing# and it helps you to be granted =uite huge
amounts too + but you may not be able to refund this money later on# so that eventually
its presence in the 6th House may be adverse for you. )his position of Jupiter also
indicates possible advantages from a death + not only financial advantages.
You stand a fair chance in any "ind of underground research + it may also be a matter of
digging into your own psyche. Your se*ual life gets better. )he latter point is not sub&ect
to any two+faced interpretation: it often tells you that a new love affair is arriving# or that
things are bound to settle down positively with your partner. )here may be a possible
amplification of the natives psychic powers and li"elihood of benefits that have
something to do with cemeteries.
Jupiter in the Ninth House of SR almost always forecasts long and wonderful travels
for the native' &ourneys to distant places' staying far from home' benefits obtained from
foreign people or foreign places# or relevant to other countries or towns than your place
of birth or of residence. 2rom any point of view the $abroad and the $far away are
favourable to you: they give you benefits# they help you in finding wor"# money# health#
love# or fame. You may be cured by foreign doctors and9or in a foreign hospital. Jobs or
collaborations may be offered to you provided that you move to another town. You get
the chance to attend foreign courses# in foreign universities. You may obtain a higher
=ualification abroad. Jupiter in this House also favours any "ind of advanced studies#
mainly if they refer to anything far from your daily fields of e*pertise# such as
philosophy# astrology# parapsychology# theology# yoga# and so on. You can learn a foreign
language or a programming language' you can also get to master a particularly comple*
piece of software. It is an e*cellent period for going and living in another town or for
trying and reaching an agreement with people or institutions not belonging to your
geographical area. How could we define ideally what the Eth House really refers toF It
refers to any place where they spea" a language or a dialect other than your own. In my
long years of practising and studying Solar Returns# I very often happened to see that this
position of Jupiter corresponds# for instance# also to the first flying e*perience of people
who have a deep distrust of planes.
Jupiter in the Tenth House of Solar Return is almost always a positive signal
concerning your growth + normally its a professional growth. Such a growth may refer
to more general "inds of emancipations# such as learning to swim or to swallow pills
many adults are not able to do it in fact!. Some people $grow by getting rid of an
unpleasant person' some others fly for the first time in their life. %thers get a perfect sight
than"s to a successful surgery. %thers learn a foreign language perfectly' others get to
master a personal computer. You may also become stronger psychologically' overcome
fears or taboos' identify profitable pro&ects for the future' meet people who can change
your life' complete your university education' purchase your dream house' become a
father or a mother' get married# and so on. ,onetheless I have to say that such a position
is much less powerful than an .scendant of SR in the 4Gth House of birth on the other
hand the latter has got contraindications# while Jupiter in the 4Gth hasnt got any at all!. I
dont "now why# but Ive personally e*perienced it over thousands of cases. )he results
that can be obtained by a Jupiter in the 4Gth House of SR are# almost always# irreversible.
It is my opinion# formed after many decades of e*perimentation# that e*pect a few cases!
a Jupiter strictly con&unct with the -H is the best combination that one can obtain in a
Solar Return chart. In some cases this celestial position announces a very good period for
the natives mother: she may improve her professional position' she may become famous'
she may get financial benefits' she may e*perience a particularly good period for her
health or her love' or it may be that the natives relationship with her mother gets better.
Jupiter in the Eleventh House of SR helps you very much through friends in high
places# important contacts# powerful ac=uaintances such as politicians# &udges# officials.
)hese people may offer you a &ob# give you a position of responsibility# contract you# or
as" you to estimate something. )hey may show you the precise way to get to be operated
by a famous surgeon or to be visited by important specialists. )hey may put in a good
word for you to attend a course or to be accepted into an e*clusive club. In other words
you may get support in any field of your life# even ordinary spheres of your daily life + as
for instance# somebody might put you through to his own personal car mechanic and as"
him confer preferential treatment to your car> :uring the twelve months of such a Solar
Return you might receive assistance of all "inds' you will sense more friendship around
yourself# and receive concrete signs of support from your friends. In a nutshell# this will
be + a year of very good pro&ects' propel you toward professional growth' your pro&ects
begin to show desired results. )here may be possible benefits from a death. You easily
overcome a ris" of death for yourself or a beloved one. )his year will establish new and
very good friendships. Jupiter in the 44th House has always to be read as a positive
factor# and its only a rung lower than Jupiter in the Dth House of SR.
Jupiter in the Telve House of SR is perhaps in its best position because# although it
does not help you effectively in any precise direction# it wor"s li"e a wild card# li"e a
guardian angel who helps you recover from every negative situation and avoid all
dangers' it helps you rehabilitate# get out of troubles. It is a real universal remedy to
recover after a disease' to get out from legal troubles' to overcome a financial tragedy' to
recover from the suffering of a separation or of a death. Its effects are never impressive#
but they are e*tremely evident for those who honestly consider their own condition. Its
presence in a Solar Return guarantees that you wont have any dramatic year# from any
point of view. You wont run any ris" even if# say# you wal" on a rope suspended between
two s"yscrapers: Jupiter will be your $net below you. )his is the position that + more
than all the other positions + ma"es you appreciate that Jupiter really is a good planet +
only if it wants to be good.
Jupiter at the -edium Hoeli gives one hundred+times lower positive effects to the
nativeIs social and professional promotion than a Solar Return with the .scendant lying
in the 4G th House of the birth chart. Reading the following sections youIll also reali0e
that the SR .scendant in the 4 st House of birth is one of the worst positions that could
ever stri"e a man. )he above remar"s# together with many other observations# originate
from an e*tremely long practice and are supported by hundreds of personal reports of
people who relocated their own SR according to the method described in this boo"# who
can confirm every single point of what I have written down here.
)his volume can not be considered as a substitute either to my !uida ai transiti or to my
Trattato pratico di Rivolu"ioni solari . It is intended to be a complement to these boo"s
and help the reader to understand better the transits and the Solar Returns# based on the
results of years of research carried out after the publication of the afore mentioned boo"s.
(hat I intend to demonstrate with this volume is:
4! It is impossible to be able to ma"e correct forecasts unless you consider the Solar
Returns and the transits together
3! )he )welfth# the 2irst and the Si*th House are tremendously negative
J! Ky ma"ing &oint use of the Solar Returns and of the transits it is possible to ma"e
really accurate forecasts + but only if you read Solar Returns and the transits according to
the method described in these boo"s.
Ke clear that I donIt deny that other# very good authors may be able to ma"e =uite
accurate forecasts based upon other systems of analysis. I simply believe that the other
methods are bound to be positively inferior compared with the results that can be
obtained with the method I propose. It is my opinion that those who ma"e use of the
Solar Returns in practice# but read them according to other streams of astrological
thought# would never obtain the brilliant prognostic results that can be attained following
the rules listed in the following pages. I say so being perfectly aware that I donIt mean to
claim that I am an infallible astrologerL I simply rely upon a huge practice that allows me
to trace classifications# set priorities# mention scales of values# and ma"e use of
e*clamation mar"s after certain items.
ItIs you# dear reader# whoIll eventually decide whether this method wor"s or not. You
might recommend it to your colleagues or you might throw it away instead after trying it
without result# but of course# during the trial time# you should not change any single rule
according to your own mindL
I am confident that application will prove me right. I donIt claim that my precision
reaches hundred percent. Yet this method possesses a high degree of verifiability + so
high that it allows you to follow it without ma"ing serious mista"es. Bverybody ma"es
mista"es: the most important thing is not doing your best not to ma"e mista"es at all + the
most important thing is to do your best in order to reduce your mista"es to a minimum.
)here are two more considerations. In the description of transits youIll perceive that I
have tried to reduce my own involvement to a minimum' I have tried to be as $silentI as
possible in my relationship with the reader. %n the other hand# when you read the section
about Solar Returns youIll find that my participation there is more incisive. )here I write
in the first person# with =uite personal comments. )he reason is that in those pages I face
a sub&ect in which I have felt the need to stri"e a blow# to ta"e sides# to underline a much
more personal reasoning compared with that of the transits.
1astly# I would li"e to say that in this volume youIll often come across the terms
$negativeI and $positiveI when reference is being made to isolated individual positions of
Solar Returns and of transits. -any people would be appalled at $such a languageI#
claiming that one should mention only harmonic and disharmonic positions + never
$positiveI and $negativeI ones. 2orgive me# but I donIt stand demagogy. (e live in a time
of political correctness in which the blind are called visually handicapped' the poor are
called needy' the handicapped are called disabled' foreigners are called non+B< citi0ens#
and so on + but I am accustomed to calling a spade a spade. )herefore even if you try
hard to convince me# youIll never have me say that a Saturn transiting over the Sun in the
43 th House is a disharmonic transit that ma"es people to grow. IIll stic" to my opinion:
such a transit is above all a disaster that everybody would li"e to avoid. )he thought that
people grow spiritually and psychologically under duress can at best be a philosophical
con&ecture.
,otes
4 Some times# during any given day up to ten different persons# call me as"ing for advice.
Since my computer is running constantly# I immediately open the program called -olriv
and# during the course of the conversation over the phone# am able to indicate to them a
proper destination for their .imed Solar Return. .fter a year has gone by# I note their
e*periences concerning .imed Solar Returns.
)his is why I seldom forget anything about .SRs# despite the fact that certain other
sub&ects )he /reface of the Koo"
I rec"oned + by an appro*imation + that until spring 4EED# after twenty+seven years of
intensive practice in astrology# I had $forwardedI at least ten thousand persons 4 to an
aimed birthday over twenty thousand in 3GGD!. (hatIs more# year after year IIve been
recording their outcome# about the splendid reality of the .imed Solar Returns.
)his is not the topic of this volume# which is rather meant to address all those who
investigate or wish to investigate Solar Returns# regardless of whether they are planning
to put into practice the active relocation of the Solar Return + that which I term as the
.imed Solar Return. I made reference to such a high number of events simply because I
wish to claim# with neither conceit nor silly vanity# that my e*perience in the field is
remar"able. (hatIs more# itIs a practical e*perience# not merely a theoretical e*ercise.
In this volume youIll read =uite different observations than those which you might find in
any other boo". )wo e*amples follow that substantiate this reflection. In the ne*t sections
youIll read that a Solar Return starting# say# with Jupiter at the -edium Hoeli gives one
hundred+times lower positive effects to the nativeIs social and professional promotion
than a Solar Return with the .scendant lying in the 4G th House of the birth chart.
Reading the following sections youIll also reali0e that the SR .scendant in the 4 st House
of birth is one of the worst positions that could ever stri"e a man. )he above remar"s#

mista"es: the most important thing is not doing your best not to ma"e mista"es at all + the
most important thing is to do your best in order to reduce your mista"es to a minimum.
)here are two more considerations. In the description of transits youIll perceive that I
have tried to reduce my own involvement to a minimum' I have tried to be as $silentI as
possible in my relationship with the reader. %n the other hand# when you read the section
about Solar Returns youIll find that my participation there is more incisive. )here I write
in the first person# with =uite personal comments. )he reason is that in those pages I face
a sub&ect in which I have felt the need to stri"e a blow# to ta"e sides# to underline a much
more personal reasoning compared with that of the transits.
1astly# I would li"e to say that in this volume youIll often come across the terms
$negativeI and $positiveI when reference is being made to isolated individual positions of
Solar Returns and of transits. -any people would be appalled at $such a languageI#
claiming that one should mention only harmonic and disharmonic positions + never
$positiveI and $negativeI ones. 2orgive me# but I donIt stand demagogy. (e live in a time
of political correctness in which the blind are called visually handicapped' the poor are
called needy' the handicapped are called disabled' foreigners are called non+B< citi0ens#
and so on + but I am accustomed to calling a spade a spade. )herefore even if you try
hard to convince me# youIll never have me say that a Saturn transiting over the Sun in the
43 th House is a disharmonic transit that ma"es people to grow. IIll stic" to my opinion:
such a transit is above all a disaster that everybody would li"e to avoid. )he thought that
people grow spiritually and psychologically under duress can at best be a philosophical
con&ecture.

4 Some times# during any given day up to ten different persons# call me as"ing for advice.
Since my computer is running constantly# I immediately open the program called -olriv
and# during the course of the conversation over the phone# am able to indicate to them a
proper destination for their .imed Solar Return. .fter a year has gone by# I note their
e*periences concerning .imed Solar Returns.
)his is why I seldom forget anything about .SRs# despite the fact that certain other
sub&ects completely slip my mind.
