Planet & Asteroid Returns

Find the exact moment a supported planet or catalogued asteroid returns to its natal longitude. Choose the body, search date and return place to calculate a complete chart with houses, angles and aspects.

Type at least two characters. Select one catalogued asteroid; availability depends on the birth and return dates.

Birth details

However you write them, that's how you'll be spoken to. Nothing in your chart depends on it — the sky never asks who you are. Left blank, readings stay neutral rather than guess.

Return Location *

The place where you will be at the return sets the chart's houses and angles. It does not change the geocentric return moment.

Finds the Sun's return around your birthday in this year, within available ephemeris coverage.

Find the exact moment a supported planet or catalogued asteroid returns to its natal longitude. Choose the body, search date and return place to calculate a complete chart with houses, angles and aspects.

1. Enter birth data — Known date, time, and birth place locate your natal Sun longitude.

2. Choose the return location — This sets the return Ascendant and house angles at the exact event.

3. Calculate — Reveal the exact moment of the celestial return, the return chart wheel, planetary positions, cusps, and aspects.

How planetary and asteroid returns work

Choose Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto, or select one asteroid from the engine's catalog search. The Sun uses a birthday year; other bodies use a search-from date at 00:00 UTC. An asteroid selection requests that same body at both birth and return.

What the chart shows

The result gives the exact return time in UTC and Julian Day, the natal target longitude, the selected body's placement, and a complete chart wheel with planetary positions, houses and aspects. The return place sets houses and angles; it does not change the geocentric event time. Solar and Lunar results can also include their existing astrological overviews.

Crossing motion

For a planetary or asteroid return, Either selects the first exact crossing after the chosen date. Direct only and Retrograde only filter the body's motion at that crossing; both search forward in time. A retrograde loop can produce several crossings, but this calculator returns one event per request.

Method and availability

Moira calculates tropical, geocentric ecliptic longitude returns using its exact event solver. Major-planet calculations use the website's JPL DE440 ephemeris; asteroid positions depend on the engine's admitted small-body kernels. A catalog listing does not guarantee coverage at every birth or return date. Unknown birth times require a known clock time before calculation, and unavailable bodies or dates produce an error.

This release calculates one return chart. Saving stores your birth data for reuse; it does not archive the calculated return packet.
