Returns ahead

The cycles where a planet returns to its natal position: fresh charts cast on top of the natal shaping their windows.

Lunar Return
July 21, 2026
Moon back to natal · 8 days away. Aquarius rising · Moon in 8th house.
Solar Return
2026-09-23 17:51 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Closing Square
Peak Jun 2, 2031 · age 81.7. The closing square of the third cycle is a long releasing. Responsibilities, possessions and roles are handed on. The friction is trusting that what you built can stand without you holding it.

Progressions

Secondary progressions (day-for-a-year): the inner clock that redraws the chart slowly over a life.

Progressed Sun
Sagittarius 17°31'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Leo 8°00' · 3rd house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.

Disseminating
Sharing what was learned. Teaching, mentoring, integration.

Eclipses ahead
