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 29, 2026
Moon back to natal · 16 days away. Scorpio rising · Moon in 3rd house.
Solar Return
2026-02-11 04:24 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Opposition
Peak Dec 31, 2028 · age 45.9. Saturn opposes itself again at the centre of life: the reckoning the phrase 'midlife crisis' is pointing at. What you have built becomes fully visible, measured against what you actually wanted. The friction is honest accounting: time is now visibly finite, and the gap between the real life and the intended one has to be faced.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Aries 5°55'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Virgo 13°48' · 4th 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.
