What is Lunar (Lunar Return)
Lunar (lunar return) is a prognostic astrological chart that is built on the exact astronomical moment of the Moon's return to the same longitude, degree, minute and second of arc that it occupied at the time of birth. The period of revolution of the Moon around the Earth relative to the fixed stars (sidereal month) is about 27.32 days. Thus, during one calendar year, a person lives about 13–14 Lunars. Lunar describes the emotional background, everyday concerns, level of vitality, health, dynamics of family affairs and micro-events for the next 27 days.
How to read and analyze Lunar
1. Position of the Moon in the house of the Lunar
The house where the Moon falls in the Lunar shows the main point of emotional fixation and worries for this month (finances, travel, family, work).
2. Lunar Ascendant
Determines the dominant mood of the month, the manner of responding to external stimuli and overall well-being.
3. Aspects of the Lunar Moon
Tense aspects (squares, oppositions) to Mars or Saturn warn of stress and conflicts; harmonious trines to Venus or Jupiter promise comfort and joy.
4. Bundle with annual solarium
Lunar details the themes of the current solar: if the 10th house is active in the solar, then a lunar with an emphasis on the 10th house will launch a career event in this particular month.
