Sylvia Plath last SLR before her suicide.

Sylvia Plath’s birth info found in her last SSR recent thread.
IMO, Sylvia’s last SLR reflects great Fagan & Jim Eshelman teaching lesson pertaining to any type return chart.
First, Fagan’s teaching lesson (paraphrasing). Whenever you have a transiting planet on the day of a SLR partile/tight 0,90,180 a Natal Planet, pay attention. There has been some confusion over Fagan’s wording with this teaching point, but I think Fagan meant to say when this type transits occurs close to a SLR/Return angle, pay close attention. Second, I interpret Fagan’s above words as the same as Jim’s teachings with return charts, stating:

It is when angularity and aspect partility coincide that outstanding incidents are most likely to come about.

Jim’s above words, I think, apply both to return planets partile aspected to other return planets, and to natal planets seen with a bi-wheel of the return chart and natal chart. Note in Sylvia’s last SLR her SLR Mars partile cnj her SLR West Point, AND partile cnj her Natal Mars. This activates both Jim’s and Fagan’s above teaching points. Jim’s Return teachings offers more critical details than Fagan’s Return teachings. Jim teaches:

If the same natal and solar planet are foreground, it takes on special significance as a theme planet.

Not only is Sylvia’s natal & solar mars foreground, but both are partile cnj her SLR West Point. This SLR is foretelling ‘an outstanding incident’ with Mars, and Jim teaches us in cases like this SLR, we need to pay very close attention to Sylvia’s Natal Mars and its aspect structure in the Natal Chart. We know through Clay’s article Sylvia was estranged from her husband. Note her natal mundo Mars is 2,22 cnj Dsc, and receives a partile 90 from her Natal Mercury, and partile 120 from her Natal Uranus. When we find Return charts like this, we need to do all our homework with our stack of Sidereal Astrology charts in order to delineate as accurately as possible. This SLR is a great teaching example of the two above teaching lessons.
