Aspect Return

Find every date two planets form a specific aspect — including retrograde triple-passes

The widest separation at which the aspect still counts; sets the entry/exit dates in the table. Exact hits are independent of it.

The scan computes positions for thousands of moments; a wide range may take a few seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an aspect return?

The moment the same two planets that form an aspect in your natal chart re-form that exact angle in the sky. It is read as a window when the natal aspect’s theme is refreshed.

How often does an aspect return occur?

It depends on the pair’s speed: Sun–Mercury angles can repeat several times a year, while slow-planet pairs may return only decades apart.

What question does this technique answer?

"When does this aspect in my chart come alive again?" Moments when the birth agreement is repeated in the sky are treated as cycle openings for that theme.

How is it calculated?

The tool scans the ephemeris forward to find the moments the two planets re-form the natal angle to the minute, and draws a chart for each.
