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
August 2, 2026
Moon back to natal · 20 days away. Taurus rising · Moon in 11th house.
Solar Return
2026-12-09 05:19 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Closing Square
Peak Sep 9, 2028 · age 22.8. The closing square of the first cycle is the crisis of early adulthood: the end of education, the first job, the first time the scaffolding other people built gets taken away. The friction is real responsibility arriving a little before you feel ready to hold it.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Capricorn 8°06'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Sagittarius 18°57' · 9th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
Balsamic
Closure and release. Conscious endings, the pre-dawn quiet before a new cycle.

Eclipses ahead

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