Solar return Sun in the 10th house

What the sources say

In a book on solar returns from about 1854, W. J. Simmonite held that the Sun in the tenth house of the return gives, among other things, honour. Simmonite called the tenth a very important angle, one denoting, among other things, one's profession, trade or calling; this site reads that, for a year, as your standing in work, school or a role you hold.

About this page

The reading above was written against the works cited beside it and checked against the passages it was drawn from. Anything below it is interpretation and context rather than a claim about what a source says.

Astrology is a tradition of interpretation, not a body of established fact. A transit or a solar return describes a tendency the tradition reads into a period; it predicts nothing.
