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
August 6, 2026
Moon back to natal · 24 days away. Cancer rising · Moon in 11th house.
Solar Return
2026-07-10 07:09 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Closing Square
Peak May 17, 2029 · age 51.9. The closing square of the second cycle clears away what is finished. Roles and ambitions that have done their work, and some that quietly never worked, ask to be set down. The friction is releasing an identity before the next Return asks who you are without it.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Virgo 5°02'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Pisces 0°14' · 5th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
Gibbous
Refinement. Perfecting the work, with culmination in sight.

Eclipses ahead

Solar and lunar eclipses within ~18 months that fall within orb of a natal placement.
