Exercises in Aimed Solar Returnsfrom the Blog of Ciro Discepolo (99)

Dear Ciro,You may have saved me from a terrible health problem. Just

after I returned for you suggested solar place for my Septemberbirthday, Minneapolis, Minnesota, I spent the lunation at home inFallbrook, California.

Then I went to Mexico for three weeks and returned before the nextlunation, which was also spent at home. In Mexico I developed anabscessed tooth and a bad bone infection in the palate. The tooth wasextracted but I became very ill.

The antibiotic didn’t work, and I had to have anotheremergency visit. Upon returning home, the problem occurredagain, worse than before.

Just this past week, I had another emergency visit for a strange boneinfection in the palate that puzzles the dentist and is causing bone loss.All of this was present before the solar return in September.

I just didn’t know it. The prior return in 2009, to Miami, Florida,chosen by a different astrologer, had my natal ascendant in the 12th ofthe return, and the sun conjunct the 11th cusp of the return. It was ahorrible year.

My mother-in-law died suddenly, and the infections that I spoke ofbegan their hidden course. I just didn’t know it.

If they weren’t discovered and treated this year under your solar return,it could have been much, much worse. All in all, this has been a muchbetter year, except for the health problem. And I believe your choice ofreturn made a huge difference.

My birthday comes again on September 2 (10:45 AM, 1951, Summit,New Jersey, USA). Would you kindly look to see if there is any place Ican afford to travel to, preferably in Canada, US, or Mexico?

Thank you so much. You are the best.With affection,Catherine Christopher(The health crisis was why I couldn’t help you with the speaking

engagement. I am very sorry. I did find two people, but they were alreadycommitted for the January 8 weekend. As to writing, my brain just wasn’tworking well this year, and I could only do necessary things. If youcome to the US again, I hope to support you in any way I can.)

Bentornata Catherine!We are all happy that you are resolving your problem. The your best

ASR is one of the two that you see under, that for Indonesia.It is indeed a lot of powerful. If you cannot go there, you choose that

of USA that is also good in general, but with a very smaller protection forhealth in comparison to the other solution.

Many wishes.

Mr. Discepolo,I dare to bother you again with one question.My sister's birthday will take place shortly this month and I've been

trying to relocate her, so she can spend her b-day not too far fromhome but saving her of much damage for her next year, since if shespends her b-day in town, she will have her AS of SR falling in hernatal 6th house, plus Sun, Venus and Mercury in the 6th house of SR(in addition to Neptune in 12th and Uranus in 1st)....so, I found Puebla,Mexico (19N03, 98W13), for her (the only thing I didn't like is Uranusin the 12th, but I could save 6th and 1st house, and placed the AS ofSR in 7th of natal chart).

My question is regarding the time when the solar return occurs, becauseI noticed that even though I indicate a place with different zone time tofor the SR, the time of her b-day or when the Sun falls in the same degreeas when she was born, is exactly the same. Is this correct?

Her DOB is August 22, 1976, 8.00 am, Mexicali, MEX (32N40,115W29), her Sun is in 29^40' Leo, her Ascendant is 4^46' Libra.

Thanks so much for your time.

Welcome Mary!Boston is not possible for three asters in the 8^ House. Santa Cruz of

Tenerife is not possible for the Sun in the 6^ House.

SaintJohn’s New Foundland ASR For Mary 2012

Near Boston there is a good solution for you: Saint John's, NewFoundland (see at the chart).

Best wishes.

Mr. Discepolo,Thank you so much for answering to my question.I am willing to go wherever possible to spend my b-day in order to

improve my life and I'd love to experience the power of the ASR. I reallyappreciate your advise very much. I was looking at the chart for yoursuggestion of Saint John's New Foundland.

It looks very interesting but I got confused because the chart I got forthat city (47N33,52W42) has Moon, Sun and Mercury in the 6th house(which based on your studies, the Sun or stellium of SR in 6th is notgood at all), Neptune in the 7th conjuncts the 8th house and Saturn in the4th conjunts the IC (this is scary, specially because I live in a very sismiczone, plus my parents are not in excellent health).

I know that it is not possible to cover all aspects in Life but I'd like tohave a partner without causing too much damage in other areas. What Iam thinking is that I probably provided you with wrong info regardingmy natal chart because when I got the ASR chart for Boston I only seeNeptune and Kiron in the 8th house (my concern here was that theascendant falls in the last grade of the natal 8th house, conjunt the 9thhouse. I actually thought about Portland, Maine in USA to place theascendant in the natal 9th house).

And the ASR for Santa Cruz de Tenerife has the Sun in the 5th house,3'39 away from the cusp of 6th house (my concern here was that eventhough Venus is in the 7th house and the ascendant falls in the natal 10thhouse, close to MC, in 2012 Saturn will be squaring my natal Sun).

I was born on January 23, 1973, 1.45 am, Mexicali, MEX(32N40,115W29). My Sun is in 3'16 Aquarius and my natal ascendant isin 23'17 of Scorpio.

I will really appreciate if you can take a look at my ASR for 2012when you're back from your vacation.

Best Wishes!! Grazie Mille!! Mary.

Dear Master,Anne Marie 16.08.73 - 2.05 am triesteI am getting ready to leave to Hong Kong for my next ASR in hong

kong but I saw in the news that there is typhoon in China.In case it does not subdue and reaches HK could Bangkok be a

suitable alternative? Or any other alternative you recommend? I want tomake sure I have a back up.

Warmest wishes,Anne Marie.

Dear Anne Marie,I think that is a positive fact the typhoon, today, to Hong Kong

because if it acts today, very hardly will act in 8 days!Nevertheless, we see the alternatives: Bangkok is not all right because

you would put Saturn in the 12 ̂ House.A good alternative can be Beijing that doesn't almost change anything

in the ASR that I had studied for you.Warm wishes.

Dear Ciro,I have been worrying a lot recently for my mother's health. She will

do some tests at the end of this month. Please tell me if you noticesomething on her chart (related to the breast).

She was born on 5th of October 1958, Campulung Muscel at 4:50am. She spent her last SR and LR in Campulung.

Which place might be a good relocation for her?My LR for 26th of August looks very unpleasant (Mars conj with

Moon on the AS in the 10th house)and that would coincide with the timewhen she receives the result if the test.

Thank you so much.Best regards, Georgiana

Dear Georgiana,if I remember well, when we met to Bucharest the last winter, I, looking

at your celestial papers, saw some upcoming health problems for yourmother. But this doesn't matter.

I recommend you the three ASRs that you see under. In our case wecan accept an AS in the Tenth House.

I believe that I would choose the stellium in 9 ̂ . I recommend you notto push your mother to depart, if she doesn't want.

Many warm wishes.

Ciro Discepolo is an astrologer, journalist and writer,he was born in Naples in 1948 (on the 17th of July, at5:40 am). He worked for twenty years for the mostpopular daily of Naples, Il Mattino, writing articleson science, medicine, informatics, literature andastrology. He has always refused to cast the so-called‘horoscopes of the solar signs’ for that newspaper,as well as for any other newspaper or magazine. Heworked (at the age of 20) for five years at the CNR(National Research Council) as Research Helper

and, for two years, as Electronic Measures Laboratory’s head in the Istituto Motoriof Naples, CNR. He has been dealing with astrology since 1970. He has written over70 books, most of them best-sellers in Italy as well as abroad (France, the UnitedStates of America, Spain, Germany, Hungary, Slovenia and Russia) and he has publishedover 1,000 astrological lessons on YouTube and about 300 short Astrology Essayson Google Books. In 1990 he founded the quarterly Ricerca ‘90, which he has beenediting and publishing since then. He has been doing statistical researches from thevery beginning of his interest in astrology. During the early ‘90s, he obtained brilliantresults with researches on astral heredity on a sample of over 75,000 subjects, indifferent years and always under the control of different experts of statistics amongwhich also teachers of the University of Naples. The astrological rules #1 and #2,published in his Transits and Solar Returns but already described decades earlierin other publications of his, have been statistically demonstrated by Didier Castille– the greatest astrological statistic researcher in the world – on the entire Frenchpopulation, and this is probably the most convincing evidence in Astrology of thepossibility to statistically demonstrate some astrological items. These rules werealso demonstrated in over 40 years of studies by some researchers of ZurichUniversity and they are the only statements of an astrologer, of every time,demonstrated by Official Science. He has been holding seminars, courses and lecturesin different universities and cultural centres in Italy and abroad. He particularly dealswith Predictive Astrology, Aimed Solar Returns and Aimed Lunar Returns. Accordingto many colleagues, he may be considered the greatest living expert of this areaof study. Not only has he written many texts on this specific segment of the artof Urania – he can also rely on the experience of more than 25,000 aimedbirthdays (covering the years 1970 to 2012). The outcomes of these aimedbirthdays have been recorded and analyzed by his consultants and himself at theend of each year after the consultant’s departure for the aimed birthday. He hasdeveloped extremely advanced software packages for the study of PredictiveAstrology, also projecting an innovative algorithm which is particularly usefulfor the dating of events within one year, for individuals or groups of people. Heis deeply interested in informatics. Astrologically speaking, he followed theschool of André Barbault. He founded the school of the Active Astrology.
