PERSON
Alexandre Volguine
Alexandre Volguine (1903-1976) was a Russian-French astrologer whose 1937 work on solar returns established the modern relocated-SR practice.
Weighs SR ASC/MC orientation versus natal, superimpositions, the annual MC, and lordships. Treats the SR as a complete annual chart, not just a supplement to transits. Foundational reference for Electional's SR location-election scoring.
