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 4, 2026
Moon back to natal · 22 days away. Capricorn rising · Moon in 3rd house.
Solar Return
2026-10-07 11:55 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Second Saturn Return
Peak Nov 9, 2027 · age 59.1. 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
Sagittarius 12°08'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Gemini 4°05' · 7th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
Gibbous
Refinement. Perfecting the work, with culmination in sight.

Retrograde now

Planets currently moving backward through the zodiac and the natal house each is rolling through.
