The Descendant describes the type of people, dynamics, or relationships that enter your life or that you are focused on. It shows what you’re drawn to in others and the kind of relational energy you’re learning to balance or integrate. When a planet is conjunct the Descendant, its themes are magnified and impossible to ignore.
Sun conjunct the Solar Return Descendant
Partnerships and close relationships are central this year. You attract people who either celebrate your true nature or challenge you to own it more fully. Your identity is worked out through connection, and who you stand beside becomes central to your story.
Moon conjunct the Solar Return Descendant
Your intuitive read on others is sharper and connections become a mirror for your feelings. Others reflect or amplify your emotional needs, bringing healing but also risking enmeshment.
Mercury conjunct the Solar Return Descendant
Partnerships thrive on intellectual exchange, with conversations sparking connection and mutual understanding. You’re drawn to partners and collaborators who challenge your thinking. Be careful of getting lost in endless discussion or overanalyzing relationships.
Venus conjunct the Solar Return Descendant
Partnerships become a conduit for blessings and a focal point of joy and growth. Agreements, collaboration, and reconciliation flow more readily, but the price of easy harmony can be over-concession or losing yourself in others.
Mars conjunct the Solar Return Descendant
Relationships heat up, with more arguments, passion, or active collaboration. You attract people who push back against you, creating dynamic tension that either builds something powerful or burns it down completely.
Jupiter conjunct the Solar Return Descendant
Partnerships feel supportive and expansive this year. You attract people who are generous, wise, or adventurous, though you may also encounter people who overpromise or whose grand visions lack practical foundation. Try to not idealize connections or have unrealistic expectations.
Saturn conjunct the Solar Return Descendant
Relationships require real work now, stripping away pretense to reveal what actually functions between you and others. Partnerships either solidify through mutual commitment and boundaries, or they crumble under the pressure of unmet expectations and delayed promises.
Uranus conjunct the Solar Return Descendant
Relationships are a source of surprise, shock, or breakthroughs. You attract unconventional or erratic partners, or existing connections undergo radical shifts. Connections can feel electric, but instability or detachment may make harmony difficult to achieve.
Neptune conjunct the Solar Return Descendant
Relationships are idealized or confusing, with a dreamy quality that can obscure red flags. Others may inspire you with compassion and creativity, but also drain you if boundaries aren’t clear. You may attract people who need saving or who present themselves as something they’re not, creating connections that feel intoxicating but lack solid ground.
Pluto conjunct the Solar Return Descendant
Relationships become intense arenas for growth, with others mirroring your deepest desires or fears. Partnerships may deepen through shared intensity or end through power struggles. This is a year to confront parts of yourself that have been buried.
Chiron conjunct the Solar Return Descendant
Partnerships bring up wounds around trust, rejection, or dependency. Relationships may trigger old patterns, but also offer openings for healing through honesty, compassion, and mutual support. Broken places create stronger bonds when handled with care.
Lilith conjunct the Solar Return Descendant
Relationships provoke your wildest instincts, with others mirroring your suppressed desires or shadow. Others may project taboo, rejection, or intensity onto you, drawing out power struggles and raw honesty.
