New Year, New Cycle and New Solar Return

2022 is kicking down the door... but did you know that you start a new year on your birthday, and it always brings a new proposal?

Lia turned 41 in June. She entered a new year, a new cycle. More than that, having a birthday is like embarking on a new life project. It can even come with a manual. In astrology, we call this the Solar Return Chart.

This chart sets the tone for the year, highlighting opportunities, changes, and challenges. It's like a manual explaining the next phase of the game of life, telling us: "Beware, there may be alligators in that pond" or "Take that road; it will lead you to where you want to go."

The instructions in Lia's Solar Return Chart were clear: with Virgo Rising, it was a year for self-improvement, organizing her routine, structuring her work and health, and adopting new habits—a year of productivity and efficiency.

Pluto in Capricorn in the 5th House told her to reclaim her sexual power and self-esteem, requiring a lot of discipline. Jupiter in Pisces in the 6th House advised, " Deliver into self-knowledge by examining your routine! There are opportunities here for work and improving your health." Uranus, in the 8th House, warned of changes. In Leo in the 11th House, Venus and Mars said: "Show off your mane, woman!"

And that's precisely what happened: 20 days after her birthday, her romantic relationship ended, work wasn't going well, and other events made her realize she needed to change. Amidst the turmoil, she knew she needed strength, vitality, and energy and thought: "I'll get this energy through my body."

In August, Lia started CrossFit and swimming in the open sea. Daily doses of endorphins and vitamin D for her human system, body, and temple.

Three months passed, and Lia saw herself transformed. She was more creative, productive, with energy and sexual vigor, connected to her body, and paying attention to every new curve forming. She realized she had programmed a new habit into her system, like a mega-blaster update with new features.

And she's still in the fifth month of her 41st year. She still has seven months to explore this Virgo year of self-improvement.
