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 16, 2026
Moon back to natal · 3 days away. Gemini rising · Moon in 3rd house.
Solar Return
2026-11-08 16:48 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Opposition
Peak Aug 23, 2027 · age 44.8. Saturn opposes itself again at the centre of life: the reckoning the phrase 'midlife crisis' is pointing at. What you have built becomes fully visible, measured against what you actually wanted. The friction is honest accounting: time is now visibly finite, and the gap between the real life and the intended one has to be faced.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Capricorn 0°32'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Pisces 20°26' · 2nd house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
Crescent
Building. The first pushback against the old, the first real risks on the new direction.

Retrograde now

Planets currently moving backward through the zodiac and the natal house each is rolling through.
