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 28, 2026
Moon back to natal · 14 days away. Sagittarius rising · Moon in 1st house.
Solar Return
2026-03-29 03:04 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
First Saturn Return
Peak May 9, 2029 · age 29.1. Saturn comes back to where it stood at your birth. This is the cycle's headline: the years the life assembled through your twenties is audited. What was built to please others, or built on no real foundation, tends to crack: a job, a relationship, a city, a self-image. The friction is being asked, often for the first time, to become your own authority and rebuild on your own terms.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Taurus 4°14'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Capricorn 5°02' · 6th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
Disseminating
Sharing what was learned. Teaching, mentoring, integration.

Eclipses ahead

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