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 14, 2026
Moon back to natal · 1 days away. Aquarius rising · Moon in 5th house.
Solar Return
2026-09-07 21:59 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Opening Square
Peak Dec 3, 2032 · age 36.2. The opening square of the second cycle pushes you to commit to what the Return rebuilt. The choices made around thirty now demand follow-through. The friction is between momentum and the patient, unglamorous work of making a thing genuinely solid.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Libra 14°30'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Leo 17°20' · 9th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
Last Quarter
Restructuring. Breaking down what no longer fits the next cycle.

Eclipses ahead

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