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 8, 2026
Moon back to natal · 26 days away. Aquarius rising · Moon in 4th house.
Solar Return
2026-02-04 13:48 UTC
Sun back to natal degree. The Solar Return ASC and MC frame the year ahead.
Saturn cycle
Opening Square
Peak Apr 23, 2027 · age 37.2. 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
Pisces 22°25'
About thirty years per sign: sign changes mark major life-phase boundaries.
Progressed Moon
Libra 12°54' · 5th house
The inner monthly weather over years, roughly 2.3 years per sign.
Progressed lunation
Full Moon
Culmination and exposure. Peak visibility, realisations, turning points.

Eclipses ahead

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