Personal cycles · Jeff Koons
Profections, returns, progressions, eclipses, and retrograde windows on one timeline.
Asteria · every clock at once, age 71
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 · the maturation clockThe Third Cycle
You are in your third Saturn cycle, the elder phase, where the work shifts from building to distilling. Saturn's lessons are no longer about climbing but about what the climb was for, and the authority you carry was earned across a whole life.
Jupiter · the expansion clockyear 11 of 12 (closing)
The closing stretch before the next Jupiter return. The current cycle of growth is winding down, making room for the new one about to begin. A good time to take stock of how far you have come since the last return, twelve years back.
The Nodes · the karmic clockmid-cycle
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.
Progressed Moon · the emotional clockLeo
Your Progressed Moon marks an emotional season of warmth and self-expression. The need is to be seen, to create, to shine. A more confident, outward stretch, learning to take up space.
Profection · the annual clock12th house year
By annual profection you are in a 12th-house year of retreat and release. retreat, dreams, the unseen, institutions, and what must end before the next 1st-house year begins. a 12th-house year is quieter on the surface and louder underneath: therapy, hospitals, spiritual practice, endings, solitude. Look at the sign on your 12th house, its ruler as Lord of the Year, and transits to that planet until your next birthday.

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.
Progressed Moon
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 71.48.

year-lord transits
The year's loudest weather
Transits to your year lord (Jupiter) 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.

returns
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.
Lunar Return

In 13 days. The return Moon lands in your
1st house with
Sagittarius rising on the return chart.
That shapes the month's emotional weather.

Opposition
Peak December 3, 2029 ·
age 74.9. Saturn's final opposition brings a wide, clear view of the whole arc. What you built meets the world once more, now mostly through the people and the work you have influenced. The friction is meaning: making peace with the shape of the life, and with what can no longer be changed.
progressions
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.

The Progressed Sun spends about 30 years per sign; sign

eclipses ahead
Eclipses that touch your chart
Solar and Lunar Eclipses within roughly the next eighteen months that fall within orb of a natal placement. Eclipses are pulse points: the event a year hangs off of, the activation of whatever the eclipse degree sits on.

retrogrades now
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.
