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 9, 2026
Moon back to natal · 26 days away. Aquarius rising · Moon in 5th house.
Solar Return
2026-02-15 07:15 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Second Saturn Return
Peak May 12, 2028 · age 58.2. Saturn returns a second time, at the threshold of elderhood. The life's central structures are weighed for what they were truly for: work, family, place. The friction is consolidation: deciding what to carry forward, what to lay down, and what your authority is now in service of.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Aries 22°46'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Cancer 16°49' · 2nd house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
Crescent
Building. The first pushback against the old, the first real risks on the new direction.

Eclipses ahead

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