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 18, 2026
Moon back to natal · 5 days away. Virgo rising · Moon in 12th house.
Solar Return
2026-04-01 19:04 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Third Saturn Return
Peak Apr 25, 2027 · age 88.1. Saturn completes its third full circle. Few lives reach it; those that do meet a quiet, total review. The friction, if it is friction at all, is acceptance. It is the gathering of the whole story into something that can be passed on.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Cancer 6°21'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Sagittarius 5°20' · 5th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
Gibbous
Refinement. Perfecting the work, with culmination in sight.

Eclipses ahead

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