Normally, return charts are calculated for the exact moment that the Sun, Moon, or a given planet "returns" or makes an exact conjunction to its radix position. With Win*Star's incremental (or harmonic) return option, returns may be calculated for angles other than the conjunction.

Included in the Incremental Return menu are the most popular harmonic return options: Demi-Return (the 180° point); Quarti-Returns (the squares, or 90° points); and the Enneads (points that are multiples of 40° distant from the placement). Plus, the "Increments" selection lets you type in any harmonic value by degree, minute, and second. The sample chart used here is an incremental chart showing that Bill Clinton's next 180° (demi-return) for Saturn occurs on August 1, 2005.
