Returns And Revolutions Doctrine
Definition
Returns identify moments when a moving body comes back to a natal position; revolutions interpret selected returns as charts for a period.
The reviewed summary is strongest for the annual solar revolution and keeps non-solar return families explicitly narrower.
History and sources
The local Persian and medieval witnesses preserve revolutions as a structured annual doctrine, not merely a date-search operation.
the overview distinguishes a calculated return event from the interpretive doctrine attached to an annual revolution chart.
How it is calculated
The solar revolution lane starts from the solar return moment, then uses annual context such as the sign of the year, Lord of the Year, and comparison between natal and revolution charts.
the overview does not generalize those solar-revolution rules to lunar, planetary, nodal, or apogee returns unless a lane-specific sources supports that step.
Variants
Generic return search, solar revolution doctrine, annual subdivisions, lord-of-orb testimony, and non-solar revolutions are related but not interchangeable.
the overview keeps each lane visible so clients do not infer a full year-chart interpretation from every return hit.
What this doctrine covers
This seed supports page copy for solar return as an annual revolution signal and for the difference between return search and revolution doctrine.
Scope and limitations
The cited sources do not establish a settled hierarchy for all non-solar return families or a complete return-lord delineation system.
More specific judgement should cite dedicated return-lord, annual-division, or lane-specific pages.
Related practices
Solar revolutions are closely tied to annual profections, because both may participate in annual Lord of the Year workflows.
