Your whole year, on one desk.
Progressions, solar arc, primary directions, transits and eclipses in one dated chronology. You choose the points you follow and the method you calculate with; Efémeris shows you where they converge, without inventing a score.
New · Professional modeAI copilot for your consultationsIt reads the desk with your method, prepares the consultation and cites every fact. Tap a citation and the desk goes there.See how →The violet band is the year's only convergence: an eclipse and a transit over the Sun, which is also the lord of the year.
A transit alone is weather. Over something ripening, it's a date.
The year's techniques don't speak in the same tempo. Some ripen slowly and stay in orb for months: they are the promise. Others set the day: they are the trigger. The desk puts them on the same line so you can see when a trigger lands on a promise that is still open.
Secondary progressions, solar arc and primary directions. They perfect slowly and mark a stretch.
Transits of the slow planets, eclipses and transits to the return. They set the date.
When a trigger lands on something that is ripening, it carries a mark saying on what: «with progression», «with primary», «with solar arc», «lord of the year». Without a mark it's weather, and the desk says so.
One in four triggers lands on a promise in orb. The rest stays as weather.Measured with the default method
The year, in the order an astrologer reads it.
Your birthday opens the year. The cover of My Return isn't a list of loose techniques: it groups them by the question they answer.
The lord of the year
Which planet runs the year, and which house lights up?
- Annual profection
- Firdaria
The promise
What perfects slowly and promises?
- Primary directions
- Solar arc directions
- Secondary progressions
- Progressed Moon
- Progressed angles
Solar arc and primaries go here, not with transits: they are promise, not trigger.

A copilot that reads the desk you're looking at, and cites every row.
It calculates nothing on its own. It reads the chronology on your screen, with your significators and your method, and gives you the year in order: the thesis, who rules, what matures, what triggers, the windows by grade and the questions for the consultation. Every statement carries its citation. Tap it and the desk opens that row; the wheel jumps to its date.

THESIS OF THE YEAR
Hypothesis: a year that turns around the Sun, which is both lord of the year and almuten . The only convergence falls on that same point between early February and early March 2027 , while the slow layer works on Jupiter and Venus .
WHO RULES
The Sun profected to the 9th house ; firdaria major of Mars with a Saturn sub-period all year .
WHAT MATURES
- The progressed Sun over natal Jupiter, which is the same fact as the solar arc: it counts once .
- The progressed Sun square Venus .
- Venus directed by primary to the square of the ASC, converse .
WINDOWS BY GRADE
- Convergence: the Sun, with eclipse and transit .
- Reinforced: Jupiter from November and in June , the ASC in April , Venus in June .
WEATHER WITHOUT PROMISE
Saturn opposite the MC is the year's longest transit and carries no mark : it's weather, not a timer.
WHAT THE DESK DOESN'T SAY
The solar eclipse on Uranus carries the lord's mark because what arrives is the Sun, not because of a promise .
It serializes the chronology on your screen; it doesn't recalculate or add techniques. If something isn't on the desk, it can't cite it.
One citation per event, window, significator or clock. Tapping it moves the desk: it opens the row, the window or the point, and the wheel goes to the date.
If the answer cites something that doesn't exist in the evidence, the citation shows struck through in coral. It isn't hidden: you see it.
The same method and significators you have chosen. The person's consultation sheet travels as data; your copilot notes, never.
It doesn't announce events or speak in the assertive future, gives no scores and says «convergence» only where the desk marks one.
Each finding is saved with its year and its method. If you change the method later, it says so; and when you come back it tells you how many windows passed since the last one.
The AI receives no identity: no name, no birth date, time or place. It receives the chronology, not the person. On your phone the copilot is a full screen, and tapping a citation takes you back to the desk in «Follow a point».
It doesn't flag everything as important.
Counting any coincidence at all, a typical chart's year has hundreds, and every chart «converges». The desk asks for more: the same point, different techniques, the same window of dates.
Two or more different techniques, on the same point, in the same window.
A transit or an eclipse that lands while the promise on that point is still in orb.
A solar eclipse opposite your Sun (Feb 6) and Jupiter returning to its conjunction (Mar 3), on the planet that rules the year.
Transiting Jupiter sextile your Jupiter in three passes (Nov 15, Jan 9, Jul 5), with your progressed Sun still on it.
The Venus primary square your ascendant comes into orb while Jupiter is still trine it.
Saturn arrives opposite your Jupiter (Jun 21), the point your progressed Sun is touching.
Saturn square your Venus (Jun 22), with your progressed Sun square the same point.
No score, on purpose. Any «importance» number hides decisions of school. The weight shows in the family, the mark and the window's grade; the judgment is yours.
Your method, in view. Before you switch, you see what changes.
Eight settings that used to live loose in each door, together in one panel. Try it: each option tells you what would happen in the sample chart if you chose it. It isn't an estimate; it's the chronology recalculated.
- The default is the doors' default. The desk counts the same way as the techniques it joins; otherwise it would manufacture coincidences no door supports.
- One choice, everywhere. Change the key in the primaries door and the desk knows, and the other way round. It's saved per person, with their significators.
- Before you switch, you see what changes. Every option not chosen shows its effect on this chart.
And the provenance: above the chronology, a line says which method calculated what you're looking at, with what you changed in green. Your Day, AI and the annual clock keep their own doctrine, and the line says so.
The chart, on any date.
Natal inside; outside, one of four rings. It moves by day, week or month, or by dragging the year strip. It draws only the contacts on the list —with each technique's orb—, not a generic aspect grid.

In this demo the progressed ring has no ASC or MC, and the return has no angles: the sample chart doesn't publish the birthday's time or place. In the app they come from the engine.
Without a chosen time, a day's ascendant says nothing.
A primary isn't a chart on a date: it's an arc on the sphere. It stays as a row in the chronology.
Outside the desk's year the wheel keeps going; the chronology tells you it doesn't reach.
Whole on your phone. It doesn't shrink: it switches.
On a small screen, a thirty-row table and a time map can't be read. So the desk changes shape: first the thesis of the year, then «Today in the year», and «Follow a point» —you pick a significator and see what matures on it and what triggers it—.
- The thesis of the year. The most loaded point and how many windows it has, in one sentence.
- Today in the year. What's in orb today and who rules the month.
- Follow a point. One significator at a time, with its two lists and the wheel.
For those who aren't astrologers: the five most loaded windows, as cards. No tables or settings.
Your birthday chart gets traveled too.
The solar return isn't just a snapshot. Through the year, the slow planets —Jupiter to Pluto— pass over that chart's Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and angles. The return's Sun is your natal Sun and the return's slow planets are shared sky, so they're left out: they would repeat what transits to the natal already say.
They live in their own space: the return's Moon isn't your Moon, so they don't converge with the natal points. The frame is always printed —it's a school's practice, not a consensus— and without a firm time it trims itself: with an approximate time the angles drop; with no time, the Moon too.
Three ways to sit at the desk.
- 1Open the client's chartMy Return → the desk
My Return starts the year on their birthday, calculated to the minute and where they spend it. In Professional, the desk is the first door.
- 2Set up the significatorsSaved per chart · «Only my significators» also filters transits, arc, primaries and progressions
The consultation's question is «what happens to this point this year?». Remove the ones you don't need and add the ones you do —Venus, the Node, Fortune—. From the rulers in My Chart, «Follow in the year» brings them straight in.
- 3Set your method once«The method» panel · kept for that person
Key and system of the primaries, progression orbs, soft arc aspects, eclipses, lord of the year. See what changes before choosing.
- 4Read the windows firstConvergence · reinforced · marks
The window tells you where to look; the chronology row tells you which technique holds it and on which exact dates.
- 5Ask the copilot to read or prepare✦ Copilot · «Save to notebook» anchors it to the year
«Read the year» gives you the thesis and the order; «Prepare the consultation», the route, the questions for the person and the cautions. All cited: whatever doesn't sit right, you tap and see on the desk.
- 6Go down to the dateThe wheel on a date
Tap a row and the wheel jumps to its exact day, with the chord drawn and the list of what's in orb.
- 7Take it with you.ics · CSV · PDF
The whole year to your calendar or spreadsheet, and the year's dossier ready to print.
- 1Read the year by familiesThe cover of My Return
First who rules, then what matures, finally what triggers. It's the order a professional builds the reading in.
- 2Open each technique in its doorAnnual profection · Secondary progressions · Solar return
Each one has its screen, its explanation and its dates. The desk joins them; the door teaches you how each one thinks.
- 3See why a transit weighsThe chronology's marks
The mark says which promise it lands on. Without one, it's weather. That's how you train the eye not to read every transit as the whole year.
- 4Change a setting and see what changes«The method» panel · «if you switch to…»
Naibod or Ptolemy, Placidus or topocentric, with or without soft arc aspects. It's the fastest way to understand what each school decides.
- 5Ask the copilot why✦ Copilot · Analyze this · Follow this point
Open a row or a window and ask «Analyze this»: it tells you what it is, why it weighs, how each technique reads it and what counterweighs it, citing each thing. After changing the method, «What this method changes» explains it on this chart.
- 6Move the wheel backThe wheel on any date
Enter the date of something you already lived and see what was in orb that day. Techniques are learned best on your own biography.
- 1«What weighs most this year»My Return · Standard mode
In Standard mode you see the five most loaded windows as cards, with dates and in words. No tables or settings.
- 2Your year, readMy year, read
The return's sixteen sections are still the main door: the desk is for whoever wants to see the scaffolding.
- 3When you want moreSettings → experience mode
Switch to Professional in Settings and the whole desk appears, with the same chart.
And what it doesn't do, on purpose.
It says which techniques meet, when and on which point. What that means in a life is read by the astrologer, or the person.
No traffic light, no «index of the year». The desk orders; it doesn't grade.
Transits to the return carry their frame; topocentric is an option, not the doctrine.
It orders and cites what the desk already calculated. The hypothesis is its own; the judgment, the astrologer's.
What you write in the copilot's notebook stays yours. The AI gets the consultation sheet, which you write for that.
Without a firm time it trims itself: no angles or cusps, and primaries —the technique most sensitive to time— are limited or switched off.
Every number, with its backing.
- Its own engine, measured against NASA
- The Sun at 1.2″ from JPL DE440; the instant of the solar return within 26 seconds.
- It reproduces published primary directions
- With the topocentric system, 11 of the 20 directions published for a classic case in the technical literature, within 4′. With Placidus, 3: that's why both systems are there, with the validation in view.
- It doesn't flag everything as important
- Measured on 400 charts: about three convergences a year, and only 3.5% of charts with none.
- Most transits stay as weather
- With the default method, one in four triggers lands on a promise in orb.
- Every number says which method calculated it
- The provenance line, on the desk and in My Chart.
- The copilot receives no identity
- No name, no birth date, time or place: it receives the chronology with its citations. Whatever it cites that isn't on the desk gets flagged.
- In Spanish and in English
- Both versions, with the same desk.
What people usually ask.
What's the difference between «convergence» and «reinforced»?
Convergence: two or more different techniques, on the same point, in the same window of dates. Reinforced: a transit or an eclipse that lands while the promise on that point is still in orb.
Why is there no score?
Because any score hides decisions of school behind a number. The desk shows the family, the mark and the window; the judgment is the astrologer's.
Why is the default Placidus and not topocentric?
Because the primaries door's doctrine is Placidus, with its corpus of combinations. Topocentric is an option for whoever works in that school, with the validation in view.
Does changing the method change my Your Day or the AI readings?
No. The method applies to the desk, its copilot and the five technique doors. Your Day, the AI readings and the annual clock keep their doctrine, and the provenance says so.
Can the copilot make things up?
It can be wrong, like any AI, and that's why every statement carries its citation. If it cites something that isn't on the desk, the citation shows in coral; if the citation exists, you tap it and see the row. The copilot doesn't calculate: it reads what the desk already has.
What does the AI receive?
The year's chronology with the method you chose, the significators and, if you wrote it, the consultation sheet. It doesn't receive your name, birth date, time or place, or your notebook's notes.
What if I don't know my birth time?
The desk trims itself: without a firm time there are no angles or cusps and primaries are limited or switched off. What doesn't depend on the time stays the same.
Can I look at a date outside this year?
Yes, on the wheel. The return becomes the one in force on that date; the chronology tells you it doesn't reach.
The chart point followed in the consultation: ASC, Sun, the ruler…
What ripens slowly —progression, arc, primary— and stays in orb for months or years.
What sets a date: a transit, an eclipse.
The planet that rules the twelve months according to the profection.
The stretch of dates where techniques meet on the same point.
The line that says which method calculated what you see.
The consultation, set up: your points, your method, your year.
And an AI copilot that reads the desk with you and cites every fact.
