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 8, 2026
Moon back to natal · 26 days away. Scorpio rising · Moon in 8th house.
Solar Return
2026-09-02 06:10 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Opening Square
Peak Apr 21, 2028 · age 36.6. The opening square of the second cycle pushes you to commit to what the Return rebuilt. The choices made around thirty now demand follow-through. The friction is between momentum and the patient, unglamorous work of making a thing genuinely solid.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Libra 13°52'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Libra 10°43' · 11th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
Balsamic
Closure and release. Conscious endings, the pre-dawn quiet before a new cycle.

Eclipses ahead

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