Even using the tropical zodiac for Varshaphala, the date of the solar return chart can be a day after sometimes. Why is this so astronomically?

Hi @Scott

If I’ve understood your question correctly, the birth time or sometimes the birth date of the person changes in the Solar Return chart in question is happening because, it is a technique for the Solar Return, the Sun returning to its original point/degree and place in time, which could be at a different time.

The idea is for the Sun degrees to catch-up with each other in the same sign of birth.

 

After writing this, I now think that you didn’t ask about that, obviously.

I didn’t test it, just guesstimating, we could test and try different Solar Year Lengths, in the Calculation options? 

I wonder what is your idea behind it?

Thank you

Zumrut

Just trying to understand, astronomically speaking, why sometimes the solar return chart is one day off from the normal 'birth day'.

@scott-m-19 I will check for the leap years relevance for that when I can. If you find anything, please share. 
thank you

Because solar return is based on the return of the sun, not the birthday. birthday occurs every 365 days, sun returns ever 365.2422 days, so every year its changed by a quarter day, then we have a leap year and its corrected by a day.
