FAQ
What is a lunar return chart?
It is a chart cast for the exact moment the transiting Moon returns to the position it held at your birth. That happens roughly every 27.3 days, and each return chart describes the emotional themes of the cycle it begins.
How is a lunar return different from a solar return?
The solar return happens once a year near your birthday and maps the year ahead. The lunar return happens about thirteen times a year and maps a month of emotional weather — shorter, softer cycles.
Do I need my exact birth time?
Your natal Moon moves about half a degree per hour, so a birth time makes the return moment noticeably more precise. Without one we use noon, which is usually close but can shift the return by several hours.
