A life is not one clock. It is several, running at different speeds at once. This reads where you stand on each.
You are past the first return and constructing your second Saturn cycle on the foundations it clarified. This is the long, unglamorous work of making real what the return decided. Less dramatic than the threshold, and arguably where the actual life gets built.
A Jupiter return year. Roughly every twelve years Jupiter comes home, and a new cycle of growth and opportunity opens. This is a year to plant for the next twelve, to say yes to expansion, to reach for the larger version of your life. Doors that were shut tend to open.
You are in the long stretch between the karmic turning points. The themes of growth and release set at the last nodal return are quietly unfolding. This is steady soul-development time rather than a turning point, the work between the hinges.
Your Progressed Moon marks an emotional season of expansion and meaning. The need is for freedom, horizon, and the bigger picture. A restless, optimistic stretch, reaching beyond the known.
By annual profection you are in a 1st-house year of self and fresh starts. the spotlight lands on you: body, name, presence, the way you enter a room. this is the year's front door. health flares, image shifts, identity experiments, the urge to reinvent how you look or move or introduce yourself. people read you differently; you may feel pushed to show up as someone new. Look at the sign on your 1st house, its ruler as Lord of the Year, and transits to that planet until your next birthday.
Across the early forties, Neptune squares its birth position, dissolving the certainties you built your life on and asking what you actually believe and long for. It can bring disillusionment, spiritual searching, or a fog over the old goals. The dream is being renegotiated.
In the same midlife window, for many generations, Pluto squares its birth position, forcing a deep confrontation with power, mortality, and what must be transformed. It is the heaviest of the midlife waves, the one that remakes you from the root. What it ends was already ending.
The mini-wheel to the right drops today's transiting planets onto your natal house ring. Each glyph is colour-coded; hover any of them for its sign and degree.
The Progressed Moon moves about one sign every two and a half years. It is the slow inner weather underneath your profection year: the felt season you are actually living in, age 36.42.
An emotional season of expansion and meaning. The need is for freedom, horizon, and the bigger picture. A restless, optimistic stretch, reaching beyond the known.
November 22 to December 21. Mutable fire. Ruled by Jupiter.
Partnership. The other. Marriage. Open enemies. The mirror.
Transits to your year lord (Mercury) over the next 12 months. In Hellenistic practice these are the year's most significant interpretive events: the planet ruling the year gets hit, and the year gets re-shaped accordingly.
No major exact hits to your year lord land in the next twelve months. The quieter stretch is itself a year-shape: less weather, more room to choose.
Every planet completes a return when it comes back to where it sat at your birth. The Moon returns monthly, the Sun annually, Saturn every 29.5 years. Each return casts a fresh chart for that moment: a smaller chart inside the natal, shaping the period until the next.
Secondary progressions (day-for-a-year) quietly redraw the chart every few years. The Progressed Sun marks the long phase; the progressed lunation phase places both within the inner cycle of becoming and releasing. Your Progressed Moon is read above, right under your profection year.
Solar and Lunar Eclipses within roughly the next eighteen months that fall within orb of a natal placement. Eclipses are pulse points: the event a year hangs off of, the activation of whatever the eclipse degree sits on.
Bodies that are moving backward through the zodiac as seen from Earth, and the natal house each is currently rolling through. Retrograde isn't a problem; it's an inward pass: a re-encounter with what the planet already knows.
The inner-to-mid planets that retrograde often enough to plan around. Each window is bounded by the two stations: station-retrograde opens it, station-direct closes it.
