Personal cycles · Silky
Profections, returns, progressions, eclipses, and retrograde windows on one timeline.
Asteria · every clock at once, age 25
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 Closing Square
Saturn makes its last square before coming home, around ages twenty-one to twenty-two, and the casual approach to adulthood begins to run out of road. You start being asked to take real ownership. The first return is now on the horizon, and you can feel it coming.
Jupiter · the expansion clockyear 1 of 12 (opening)
The opening years of a Jupiter cycle. The growth begun at the last return is taking shape, and the mood is optimistic and forward-leaning. A good stretch to build on the expansion you reached for, while the door is still open.
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 clockPisces
Your Progressed Moon marks an emotional season of dissolving and dreaming. The need is for rest, compassion, and the boundless. A soft, impressionable stretch of letting go before the cycle renews.
Profection · the annual clock2nd house year
By annual profection you are in a 2nd-house year of worth and resources. money, possessions, income, and the quieter question underneath: what do you believe you deserve? a 2nd-house year sorts resources, pricing, debt, gifts, and the nervous system around scarcity or abundance. spending and saving both tell the truth. Look at the sign on your 2nd 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 25.53.

year-lord transits
The year's loudest weather
Transits to your year lord (Venus) 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.
No major exact hits to your year lord land in the next twelve months. The quieter stretch is itself a year-shape: less weather, more room to choose.
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.

In 20 days. The return Moon lands in your
6th house with
Libra rising on the return chart.
That shapes the month's emotional weather.

saturn cycle
First Saturn Return
Peak September 29, 2029 ·
age 28.7. Saturn comes back to where it stood at your birth. This is the cycle's headline: the years the life assembled through your twenties is audited. What was built to please others, or built on no real foundation, tends to crack: a job, a relationship, a city, a self-image. The friction is being asked, often for the first time, to become your own authority and rebuild on your own terms.
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
changes mark the chart's major life-phase boundaries.

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.
