The first thing to examine in the lunar
return chart is the ascendant. The ascendant will show how the
individual undergoing the lunar return will show or manifest his or her
personality in relation to his or her sun sign. That—along with the
aspects and the angles of the chart—are where we start the reading.
Then, we look to see what house of the natal
chart is bought to the cusp of the ascendant in the lunar return because
that will determine what part of our life—cut up into 12 slices by the
zodiac board of trustees—will be the focal point of our month.
The Moon, of course, will always be in the same sign and position as at birth, but the aspects will change from month to month. The houses are of prime importance in a lunar return reading, as is the ascendant on the chart of the lunar return.
Note: Always use current place of residence when setting up a lunar return chart.
