Answer 1

Slow, steady, and capable are adjectives that we can safely attach to individuals born with a Taurus Ascendant. These natives have tremendous stamina and staying power. They're often quite loyal to those they care about. Although they generally don't come on strong, they have personal presence; and they fairly radiate stability.

The sign on the Ascendant generally reveals how people start anything new. Taurus, by nature, is resistant to change. It can be difficult to sway Taurus rising natives--they're often rather stubborn and fixed in their ways. Their first responses are to feel things out, not in the way a Pisces might attune to their environment, but in the realm of the five senses. They have well-developed sense of smell and touch, and respond to the material world. Theirs is a practical approach to life. Security is one of their foremost considerations before undertaking anything new.

Taurus rising natives are often quite cautious and careful. With a fixed sign on the Ascendant, they are not known for their flexibility. Rather, they possess  determined single-mindedness.

More than most, Taurus rising prefers the "good things" in life. Self-indulgence can be a weakness for many with this Ascendant. Often collectors in some way, Taurus rising natives place a lot of value on their material possessions.

Taurus rising individuals prefer to dress in quality clothes with a comfortable feel to them. They are rarely ostentatious in their presentation. Many have strong and sturdy physiques.  

Often rather possessive in partnership, these natives won't easily break up their relationships. Although they are not particularly jealous, they view their partners as their personal property. Intensity and loyalty are especially important to Taurus rising natives. These are highly sensual people who prefer the comforts that a one-to-one, stable partnership offers. Although Taurus rising individuals value harmony and calm, their partnerships may be on the passionate side.

Taurus rising natives are often very comforting to be around. They have a stability about them that is soothing, and an inner harmony that is attractive

Just think of a Solar return is like a natal chart for the year. You're still Scorpio rising, but there are just some certain events that will be colored by taurean influences.

When Taurus is found on the Ascendant of a solar return This year you might be making a bit more money this year or be buying and spending more. Because the influence of venus, being more attractive will be important. You might want to change your appearance or enhance your wardrobe . Self esteem will be an issue and you also might want to buy a car, a home or buy anything that has some permanencee in your life.

Also, you have to look where taurus appears in your natal chart and if there any planets in taurus nataly. Because you are a scorpio rising, in the solar return chart your natal ascendant may be found in the 6th or 7th house of the solar return chart . If your ascendant  is found in the 6th of the solar return , then expect to be spending more time in the work place or running more errands than usual. This may be a busy year and you may find yourself caught up in routines. Your health may also be a concern. Either you may be trying to keep in shape or you may be too busy to keep a solid health regimene for yourself. Its Important to pay attention to this because Taurus is on the 1st. Taurus can enhance the sweet tooth , appetite and  slower your metabolism this year and you may gain a little weight . So take advantage of your natal Ascendant being found in the 6th and pay attention to your heath.

If Your natal Ascendant falls in the 7th, then you may start a new relationship or put more emphasis on your existing relationship. You just might spend a lot more time with your significant other. There may be some type of rivalry or someone that you may not get along with that may be apart of your everyday world for the year. There will be more adversity than usual or people just opposing your views.This may be a year that you have to take a backseet in self projection .

To sum it up. Expect a year that has to do with taurean and 2th house concerns. Check to see where venus is in the natal and solar return. And Most importantly the sun.

The solar return is part of a larger prediction technique that uses primary directions and/or secondary progressions, the lunar return and finally transits.  The solar return chart is cast for the time the Sun returns to the position it held at the time of birth.  There is disagreement among astrologers as to where the chart should be cast.  Some favor the birthplace; others prefer the place the native is located at the time of the return.

Birth charts show what used to be called the "promise of the chart."  The word "promise" drags up negative connotations of determinism and is probably best replaced with the word "potential."  The nativity shows the potential and the solar return tells when that particular potential is realized.  Space does not permit a full explanation of the various ways we can do this, but here is a brief explanation of one way.  You say you are a Scorpio rising.  Fine.  A solar return chart that has Scorpio on the ASC is probably an important one for you (not all years are important and anyone over the age of 22 will understand that).  It is important because the natal planets rule the same houses in the return as they do in the nativity.  Therefore, they will bring about the things they indicate in the natal chart during the year.

Solar return charts that show angles opposite the ones in the nativity, in your case having Taurus on the ASC, the opposite of Scorpio, could mean they inhibit the potential of the natal chart this year.  For example,  if you have the ruler of the 1st in the 9th it indicates, or "promises" a long journey at some point in your life (that could have other meanings, so bear with me on this).  The year that Taurus is on the 1st is less likely to be the one that the long journey takes place, or if it does, it will be a disappointment somehow.  The reason is that in the solar return the planet that rules long journeys in the nativity now rules short journeys in the solar return.  The long journey could be cut short by circumstances.

Not all years that exhibit such reversals are disappointments.  If I recall correctly, tennis champion Arthur Ashe had all four angles reversed in his solar return the year he won the singles championship at Wimbledon.  The rule of thumb, however, is that years where the angles are the same in the return as they are in the nativity can be good or bad, while years where the angles are reversed are often bad.  Still this is a wild oversimplification.

Not all years are important in the life and as a result most solar returns show little.  But when they do show events they can be a particularly  powerful prediction technique.

Hi Patience

That is not how it works.  You have to see  in what house your natal Asc falls in the Solar chart.

Then you have to see in what house the Solar Asc falls in the Natal chart.

Same with the MC. These are the 2 most important elements to begin. You have to see what planets are in any angles and in what house they are in the Solar chart.  Then, the aspects Solar planets make to the natal planets and vice - versa.

Basically, whatever natal aspects that repeat in the Solar chart, marks an important event in whatever house it falls in.

Briefly, you should note the aspects the Asc and the MC are making to natal planets and vice-versa.

As for your Taurus, it increases the passion and the appetite. The senses and the sensual side take predominance. On another level, you are about to realize or construct something. Aspects and the house Taurus falls in enlighten you as to what area of your life this will occur.
