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.

It depends on how fast the planets move. Aspects of fast planets such as the Moon, Mercury and Venus repeat often, while those of slow planets follow a much longer cycle. The Moon’s aspects re-form every month, and the aspects Mercury and Venus make to the outer planets about every year. Aspects between slow planets such as Uranus, Neptune and Pluto repeat only decades or even centuries apart. When one of the planets turns retrograde, the same aspect can perfect three times within a few months.

"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.

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.
