Every Jupiter-through-Pluto transit that goes exact in the next twelve months: the dates the major influences peak.

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 2, 2026
Moon back to natal · 20 days away. Scorpio rising · Moon in 5th house.
Solar Return
2026-01-01 05:32 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
First Saturn Return
Peak Sep 28, 2029 · age 28.7. Saturn comes back to where it stood at your birth. This is the cycle's headline: the years the life assembled through your twenties is audited. What was built to please others, or built on no real foundation, tends to crack: a job, a relationship, a city, a self-image. The friction is being asked, often for the first time, to become your own authority and rebuild on your own terms.

Progressions

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

Progressed Sun
Aquarius 6°48'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Pisces 0°01' · 11th 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.
