We'd be happy to give a view on your Solar Return if you'd provide birth data (and current residence location).

The house information you cite will not be part of anything we take into consideration. From what youve given alone, there's no reason for it to be scary. Houses are of very little (and possible no) value in solar and lunar returns.

December 27, 1970, 11:15 AM, New Delhi, India. Are you also still living in New Delhi? (And were you there on your birthday.)

In brief: The December 27, 2018 Sidereal Solar Return for Kalyan has Saturn 4° below Descendant, Pluto 6° above Descendant, and Sun on Westpoint. This stage of life where your Sun is angular for many years in a row puts a focus on solar things - identity, life-purpose, career, general direction, and a sense that you are more in chart of your destiny. However, the Saturn and Pluto suggest struggle, difficulties to overcome, and separations. Moon is opposite Neptune and square Mercury, suggestion uncertainty, perhaps confusion and disorientation, relying on wrong facts. The Saturn conjoins your natal Mercury, which is exactly angular. This is not a good Mercury year (for example, if you are in school this will be an unusually hard year, requiring great effort to perform well). The best use of such a year is to decide it's all about work - commit yourself to it.

Things improve significantly with your next birthday, December 28, 2019. Sun conjoin Jupiter within 0°02', less than 4° from IC. These are the only angular transiting planets in your solar return, and the aspect is quite positive. I was going to tell you (when I looked at the charts for Delhi) that the farther west you get in India, the better the chart looked. At Kalyan, it has shifted Saturn out of power and placed Sun-Jupiter closer.

Again, your Mercury is highlighted (also your Uranus), but this time Mercury is aspected by Sun-Jupiter, not by Saturn. Mercury matters go very well for the year.

There remains a strong Pluto influence: Moon conjoins Pluto 2°30'. (It also conjoins Saturn, but widely enough it will have little or no impact.) Moon-Pluto may still mean separations and, in any case, means the (likely positive) events are very high impact.

However I am now confused as the SR chart of 2018-19 which i obrained from astrodienst shows Scorpio rising with venus, sun in 2nd house , moon in 10th housr and uranus in 6th house in a grand trine.Sat is in 3rd house.

I just calculated yourTropical Solar Return for December 27, 2018, 3:07 AM IST, Kalya. It has Tropical Scorpio rising, Venus in the 1st house, Sun in the 2nd house near the 3rd cusp, Moon in 10th, etc. So, smehow you got a Tropical Solar Return. These don't work. (Besides, you're Indian. Sidereal is your birthright )

Not Lahiri. That was abandoned about 1948 when two kinds of research showed it was about a degree off. Later work required another 0°05'06" adjustment to get the Synetic Vernal Point (which is commonly called the Fagan-Bradley or Fagan-Allen ayanamsa).

In general no, although there has been a fair bit of work with Vimshottari Dasa suggesting there may be something to it. Nonetheless, its results aren't as vivid or exact as those of solar and lunar returns.

This is not Hindu astrology. You can get a definition of accepted working principles of Sidereal astrology here:
