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 7, 2026
Moon back to natal · 24 days away. Leo rising · Moon in 10th house.
Solar Return
2026-07-07 22:04 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Opening Square
Peak Dec 14, 2028 · age 37.4. 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
Leo 19°16'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Virgo 21°31' · 12th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
New Moon
Planting, low visibility, inner reorientation. Old structures composting beneath the surface.

Eclipses ahead

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