What is a Revolution?

The Revolution in astrology refers to the moment the Sun returns to the same position it was it in the zodiac when you were born. This is commonly known as the Solar Return, Solar Revolution, and the technique in Islamicate Astrology is known as the Revolution of Years.

It is a new horoscope that is cast on your birthday every year and is delineated in tandem with your natal chart to see how the events predicted through the fardar, directions, and profections will show up in the year.

Symbolically, the Solar Revolution is important because it is a renewal of life.

Your birthday is your renewal of life, however the conditions of birth are not the same as they are now.
