Venus on a solar return angle

What the sources say

In 1881 A. J. Pearce held that, generally speaking, Venus or Jupiter in the ascendant or mid-heaven at a solar return marks a fortunate year ahead, among other things, when either is also joined to or in good aspect with the Sun or Moon. Pearce named only those two angles; on the Descendant or the IC this site reads Venus its own way, as a year warmer toward others in affection and friendship.

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.
