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 15, 2026
Moon back to natal · 2 days away. Taurus rising · Moon in 4th house.
Solar Return
2026-09-30 00:18 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Closing Square
Peak Apr 22, 2028 · age 52.6. The closing square of the second cycle clears away what is finished. Roles and ambitions that have done their work, and some that quietly never worked, ask to be set down. The friction is releasing an identity before the next Return asks who you are without it.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Scorpio 27°29'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Gemini 15°04' · 7th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
Full Moon
Culmination and exposure. Peak visibility, realisations, turning points.

Eclipses ahead

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