Astrologer Returns & Progressions

The predictive techniques working astrologers actually use, calculated to the conventions the field expects rather than to a simplified approximation.

Solar and lunar returns

Astrologer casts the solar return for any year and the lunar return for any month, computed to the exact moment the transiting body returns to its natal degree rather than to the nearest day. Returns can be relocated to wherever you will actually be for that year, which changes the angles and therefore most of what the return chart has to say.

Secondary progressions

Progressions follow the astro.com convention — tropical year, fractional day, Naibod angle rate — so a progressed chart cast in Astrologer matches one cast in the tools most practitioners cross-check against. Progressed-to-natal aspects are listed with applying and separating logic, and progressed charts can be read against transits on the same timeline.

Annual profections

Profections advance the Ascendant one whole sign per year of life, activating a house and its ruler as lord of the year. Astrologer highlights the profected house and lord automatically for any age, and links it to the transits and returns touching that lord, which is how the technique is actually used rather than as an isolated lookup.
