Solar return readings

This is an astrological reading for a particular year that I do for individuals from their natal details. It is the reading for a year of their choosing (starting from their birthday), that is, their birth year.

For example, if you were born on 21st of September, and you are booking the reading for the year 2025, then the birth year is from 21st of September 2025 till your next birthday, that is, 21st of September 2026 in this example. Reading in this example will be provided for, roughly, the period 21 Sep 2025-21 Sep 2026.

Remember that year here does not mean 1 January to 31 December (unless you were born on 1 January itself).

The reading tells you of the areas of life in particular focus during the period in question, how you could feel subconsciously, the kind of events that could take place in the particular period and how you could approach life to evolve in the given set of circumstances. I cast your Solar Return chart to arrive at this reading. I also read the SR chart in combination with other charts such as transits, profections and solar arcs. This is a highly accurate technique in my experience, when everything is read and synthesised, but not all astrologers use it.

You can choose whichever year you wish to choose. You can choose even a past year (e.g., 2020), the ongoing year (e.g., 2025), next year (e.g., 2026), or a future year (e.g., 2030), though what would help you is to get a reading for the current year and/or the next year.

I will usually send you the reading in PDF form: the reading would be 4-6 pages long for one particular year. It is concise, to the point, incisive: I do not like wasting my or your time with unnecessary platitudes. However, should you wish to talk instead of receiving a written report, that is also fine: you can arrange an audio or video call with me of up to 20-25 minutes length.

I do not provide any remedies with the year readings. However, you may choose to find out, for an additional charge, where you could travel in order to modify/optimise the likely future of the year: scroll down to the end of this page to the section "After the reading" to know more.

What will you learn in the year reading?

– Spheres of life in focus or activation in the particular year
– Your mentality and emotions in the given year
– The potential of any major events (relocation of home, births/deaths in family, romance, health issues, etc.) happening in the given year

Here is an example of such a reading, in which I have predicted the year 2024-25 for Indian political leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Rahul Gandhi.

Delivery and fees:

Delivery is within 15-30 days of receipt of payment and all required details (see sidebar for requirements), unless I am travelling. For a birthday coming sooner than 15 days, I can try to fit the delivery sooner, but cannot promise it. For a birthday much later on in the year, I may also schedule delivery much later, if you agree to it.

Reading fee: US$115

Depending on your place of residence, additional VAT or similar charge may apply.

All charges are for 1 person, 1 year.

Payment once made is non-refundable, even if you cancel before I have provided the reading.

How to pay?

  • Wise
  • Stripe
  • PayPal
  • Alipay (please send e-mail for QR code or refer to this page)
  • Direct bank transfer (please send e-mail to ask for bank details)

Note for EEA/EU-based or UK-based clients: Please pay by Stripe only, as depending on your country of residence, additional VAT may apply, and Stripe handles that for me.

Once payment is done, please send all required details to my e-mail.

In case you are facing some issue with making the payment, please contact me for an alternative way to make the payment.

What do I need for the birth year reading?

  • Birth place name along with state and country name
  • Exact birth time
  • Birth date and year
  • The birth year (or years) you need the reading for
  • Optional information: Your usual resident location. In addition, if different, the place you were in on the day of your birthday for the birth year in question and the previous day.

Note that accuracy of time is very important, as even a few minutes’ difference can change the results a lot, so try to find the exact time. I do not do rectification: so I will be providing you the reading based on the birth details you are giving me. I will not cross-check from the charts if the details you have given me are correct or not.

If you are born in a little village or in a place with a name that is also the name for other towns in the area, please also provide coordinates of latitude and longitude of the place of birth, so that there is no confusion or wrong data about your birthplace’s geographical location.

Also, when you provide the location, do provide it within a reasonable degree of accuracy. If you live or were born in a suburb, give the name of the suburb, not the nearby city. For example, do not say New York City if you live in Suffolk County, or do not say Mumbai if you were born in Dombivli.

If there have been changes in daylight savings time (DST) settings or time zone settings since the time you were born in the land of your birth, let me know. (For example, Mexico changed their DST settings recently.) Many countries, like India, do not use different time zones or DST, so for people born in those countries, there is nothing additional to think about.

How to send me the details?

Send the details or any further question that you may have to the following e-mail:

palmistankur@gmail.com

If you want to share with me information regarding any specific issues, your past year or anything that you would not like to write down in an email but only talk about, we could set up a call once you have booked the reading. Please let me know in the email if you would like to talk.

After the reading

In case an upcoming year looks very challenging in a certain sphere of life, where you don’t want the challenge to be, then you could attempt to modify the fate, to some extent, by travelling on your birthday to a more appropriate location. Note that this doesn’t always work, as birthplace and the regular place of residence hold the most influence, but other locations can also hold some weightage. Note also that you cannot remove the challenge altogether: you can only attempt to shift it from one sphere of life to another.

The fee for this birthday relocation, if needed at all, is US$200. This should be purchased only after the reading and after having consulted me.

You could also seek to accentuate or attenuate some aspect of a reading, even when you are comfortable with it: for example, if the reading shows better money this year or less money this year, you may want to seek to optimise it (accentuate or attenuate it, respectively) by travelling a short distance around your birthday for a few hours around the solar return time (which is not necessarily the same as the birth time). The fee for this is US$100. This should be purchased only after the reading and after having consulted me. Note that this doesn’t always work, as birthplace and the regular place of residence hold the most influence.

In case you are planning to travel to a specific location around your birthday, which is different from your birth location and usual resident location, then you may ask for a separate solar return reading advice. You should do this only if you plan to act on the advice. The fee for advice regarding travel plan on birthday is US$150 if booked standalone or an additional US$75 if booked with a solar return reading.
