在本人上一篇文章中，有人异议认为太阳返照并不是一个好方法。当然这点不能否认，毕竟中国的占星基础还很薄弱，很多方法我们没有学到位。因此本人特选择了一些国外占星师的分析，并加以适当评注，以飨读者。
以下第一帖来自汤姆：（蓝色字为译文）
I was working with the Michael Jackson chart, using the 11:53 PM birth time for no particular reason other than it was handy, and I cast his last solar return (Aug 29 2008). I neglected to check an appropriate box in Janus and it kept casting the chart for his birthplace. When I finally figured out what I was doing wrong I managed to set it for LA, where he presumably was on his last birthday. Because of some recent discussions on this topic, I took a peek at both charts.
我研究了迈克尔·杰克逊的盘，使用时间为晚上十一点五十三分，当然没有别的特别理由，仅因为这是手头正好有的数据，我用这个资料做了最近的一个太阳返照盘（2008年8月29日）。由于我忽视了在软件中选择恰当的地点转置，所以它还是按出生地做出了返照盘。后来我发现了错误，于是将地点改换到了洛杉矶，这应该是他上个生日时候所处的地方。由于最近在这个问题上的一些讨论，所以我两盘都看了。
Cast for Gary Indiana, the birth place 17 Cancer rises and 27 Pisces is on the MC in the SR. The MC is conjunct Scheat and Robbins tells us: “… extreme misfortune, murder, suicide, and drowning.” The ASC is between Castor and Pollux. Pollux: “ … dignified malevolence and is connected with poisons.” Castor: “sudden fame and honor followed by loss of fortune and disgrace (fits his earlier life), sickness trouble and great affliction.”
地点在印第安纳的加里的话，上升就在巨蟹座十七度，中天在双鱼座二十七度。中天合室宿二，罗宾斯告诉我们：“……（室宿二代表）极端的不幸，谋杀，自杀和溺死。”上升在北河二和北河三之间。北河三：“尊贵的暴力，一般和毒药有关。”北河二：“在巨大的损失和耻辱之后的突然的名声和尊敬（适合他的早年），疾病和重大的折磨。”
If we cast the return for LA, we find the natal angles are virtually identical to those in the nativity, which is an indication of a very significant year. It implies that the potential of the chart will be realized this year or some part of it. Death is part of it. As for early or unexpected death, I seem to recall Morin (I think it was Morin, he’s all I’ve been reading lately) saying the ruler of the ASC in hard aspect to a debilitated malefic indicates a violent death. Saturn is in no great state in Sagittarius and he opposes the MC, which does not portend well for long life. But why this year?
如果把地点定在洛杉矶的话，我们会发现和本命四轴是相合的，这代表着一个非常重要的年份。暗示着盘的能量会被认识，或者是有折损。死亡就是一种分离的过程。对于夭折或者非预期的死亡，我想起了莫琳（我想应该是莫琳，最近才读过他的书）说命主如果和煞星有硬相位的话，代表着暴力性的死亡。土星在射手座不是一个好位置，同时又对冲天顶（按：应为上升，星霜注），这不是一个长寿的佳兆。但是为什么是今年呢？
We have a Mercury – Mars square in the nativity and a Mercury Mars conjunction in the return. In both cases Mars is in detriment. Although Morin would hate this, Saturn, Lord 8 is combust in the return.
在本命上我们看到水火刑，在返照盘上又看到水火合。而火星均处于落陷位置。虽然莫琳或许对此感到不悦，但返照盘的八宫主土星也是被焦伤了的。
Superficially at least, we have grounds for using both locations.
总之，我们有理由认为应当用双重地点来进行推运。
评注明日加上，敬请期待。
