When you select “Solar Return” on the Extended Chart selection page at [astro.com](https://astro.com), make sure you set the date that is right under the chart style there, to your birth date of the year you want to see. And yes, as others have said, they are in effect from one birthday to the next. Understand though, that the exact solar return happens when the sun returns to its exact natal degree — and that may or may not actually be ON your birthday, but it will be within a day of it. Still, when making the chart, do set it for your actual birthday and current year (Or whatever you want to see) and it will figure it out from there.

On your birthday and they last for exactly one year until your next birthday
