Personal cycles · Fei-Fei Li
All the clocks running.
A life is not one clock. It is several, running at different speeds at once. This reads where you stand on each.
Saturn again opposes its birth position, around age forty-four, the honest audit at the midpoint of the whole cycle. The commitments of your first return are weighed without mercy. You stand at the top of a hill you started climbing at twenty-nine, and the view includes everything you have not done. Keep what still has a pulse.
The opening years of a Jupiter cycle. The growth begun at the last return is taking shape, and the mood is optimistic and forward-leaning. A good stretch to build on the expansion you reached for, while the door is still 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 depth and intensity. The need is for truth, transformation, and what lies beneath. A powerful, sometimes heavy stretch of facing the buried.
By annual profection you are in a 3rd-house year of mind and communication. words, messages, neighbours, siblings, short trips, courses, and the local world within driving distance. a 3rd-house year favours learning, writing, teaching, pitching, and fixing the small broken circuits in daily life. Look at the sign on your 3rd house, its ruler as Lord of the Year, and transits to that planet until your next birthday.
What the sky is doing right now
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.
Your inner emotional season
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 50.53.
An emotional season of depth and intensity. The need is for truth, transformation, and what lies beneath. A powerful, sometimes heavy stretch of facing the buried.
October 23 to November 21. Fixed water. Ruled by Pluto. Co-ruled traditionally by Mars.
Partnership. The other. Marriage. Open enemies. The mirror.

The year's loudest weather
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.
The cycles you're inside right now
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.
Where your inner clock has walked to
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.
Planets currently retrograde
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.
Mercury, Venus, and Mars windows in the next 12 months
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.
