Connect with Your Year: A Solar Return Orientation Ritual

Connect with Your Year:
A Solar Return Orientation Ritual

Connect with Your Year is a once-per-year, highly personalized Solar Return orientation, designed to help you enter your new year of life with clarity, care, and alignment to time.

Together, we explore the shape of your solar year and establish a way of noticing, tending, and responding as it unfolds.

You leave with a grounded sense of orientation—and a custom Moon Play journal tailored to your chart to hold your relationship with the year, long after our session ends.

Soft launch/early access—booking opens after my Solar Return in July

Who This Is For

This offering is for people who want to enter their year intentionally by noticing and responding to its rhythms, rather than being swept along by schedules or expectations.

This is not a traditional astrology reading.

I’m not here to interpret your chart at you or list transits while you listen.

A Solar Return session is a guided orientation—using astrology as a framework to help you consciously choose how you want to move through the year ahead.

This is for you if:

You are ready to commit to your solar year with intentionality and presence.
You want guidance and tools that are tailored uniquely to you, not generic templates.
You want a ritual and practice, not a prescriptive plan.
You are ready to engage with your solar year in a gentle, intentional way.

This is NOT for you if:

What This Includes

Your Solar Return orientation gives you both the live experience of the session and a tangible, personalized container for your year.

You will receive:

How a Solar Return Session Works

The orientation is designed to be simple, focused, and transformative.

Before our session

I prepare your Solar Return chart, annual profections ruler of the year and personalized Moon Play Journal to review the major themes of the year. I craft your journal and ship it off to you to arrive in time for your session so we can orient with it together.

During our time together 

We use the astrology as a compass, not a script. I’ll help you:

Identify the quality of time your year is asking for

Notice where effort will feel supported

Translate astrological themes into decisions, priorities, and rhythms you can actually live with

All without locking you into predictions or fixed outcomes.

After the session

You leave with a grounded orientation for the year—not a list of things to “keep up with,” but a way of relating to time that supports your energy, capacity, and values.

What this looks like in real life

For example, in my own Solar Return year, the astrology emphasized consolidation and refinement rather than expansion. Instead of pushing myself to launch new offers in Q1, I used that time to:

Restructure my website
Simplify my offerings
Focus on foundational systems that would support the rest of the year

This wasn’t about “following the astrology.” It was about working with the quality of time instead of against it.

How we engage

This offering works best when roles are clear.

Your role

Bring curiosity, presence, and willingness to notice your year.

My role

Craft a fully individualized orientation, translate the themes of your year, and guide you through the threshold with clarity and care.

The journal’s role

Holds your relationship with your year long after the session, providing a container for noticing, reflection, and alignment.

This is not coaching, prediction, or ongoing support. It is a once-per-year orientation, designed to help you notice, tend, and respond to your year with clarity and intention.

Investment

Your solar year is unique. Connect with Your Year is a personalized orientation that gives you a journal tailored to your astrological chart, a live session to orient your year, and a container to notice, track, and reflect on your energy as the year unfolds.

FAQs

How is this different from Moon Play?

Moon Play is designed for everyday noticing and alignment with the moon’s cycles. Connect with Your Year takes a wider view, helping you see your entire solar year from a higher vantage point. This makes your Moon Play practice more intentional and focused, because you understand the themes and rhythms that will shape your year.

Do I need astrology knowledge?

No prior knowledge is required. This offering is beginner-friendly. A basic understanding of zodiac signs, planets, and houses is helpful, but the session is designed to guide you through everything you need to orient with your year.

Can I do this if my birthday already passed?

Yes, but only within the first quarter or midpoint of your solar year. Scheduling outside these windows may reduce the value of the orientation, so we recommend waiting until your next solar return. This ensures you enter your year with the clearest possible understanding.

How does shipping work for the journal?

Your custom Moon Play journal will be shipped to your address before your session. Shipping is included in the price. Journals are shipped via USPS/UPS and typically arrive within 10 business days. Please ensure your address is correct at booking.

What is the cancellation policy?

Because this is a personalized offering that includes a physical journal, sessions cannot be canceled once the journal has shipped. If you need to reschedule, please contact us at hello@moonandcraft.com at least 10 before your session. This ensures the best experience for both you and the work.

Step into your solar year with clarity, care, and alignment to time. Connect with Your Year gives you the tools and guidance to notice, tend, and respond to your year’s rhythms—with a custom Moon Play journal to hold your orientation long after our session.
