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 26, 2026
Moon back to natal · 13 days away. Cancer rising · Moon in 6th house.
Solar Return
2026-01-11 20:04 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Opening Square
Peak Nov 11, 2029 · age 65.8. The opening square of the third cycle asks for one more deliberate act of building: usually a legacy, a body of work, a way of being useful that does not depend on a title. The friction is choosing to keep shaping a life rather than only maintaining it.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Pisces 24°44'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Aries 10°30' · 12th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
New Moon
Planting, low visibility, inner reorientation. Old structures composting beneath the surface.

Eclipses ahead

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