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 26, 2026
Moon back to natal · 13 days away. Aquarius rising · Moon in 11th house.
Solar Return
2026-08-13 01:37 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Opening Square
Peak Dec 4, 2026 · age 37.3. 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
Virgo 26°05'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Taurus 15°52' · 7th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
Disseminating
Sharing what was learned. Teaching, mentoring, integration.

Eclipses ahead

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