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 16, 2026
Moon back to natal · 3 days away. Leo rising · Moon in 12th house.
Solar Return
2026-06-21 20:51 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Closing Square
Peak Nov 9, 2028 · age 81.4. The closing square of the third cycle is a long releasing. Responsibilities, possessions and roles are handed on. The friction is trusting that what you built can stand without you holding it.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Virgo 16°17'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Cancer 8°17' · 10th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation

Restructuring. Breaking down what no longer fits the next cycle.

Eclipses ahead
