Solar Return to Moon and Lunar Return to Sun are two
important additions to our normal “Solar and Lunar Return trick
bag.” These charts, after strenuous testing, are showing extreme
angularity and partile aspects relative to events.
A normal Solar Return speaks especially to solar issues (ego, one’s
name, attention needs), where a Lunar Return speaks especially
towards lunar issues (security, nurturance, primary needs). These
two “new” varieties of Returns, the SR to Moon and LR to Sun, bring
in both main factors Sun and Moon, in their calculation; so
potentially speak of some combination of solar and lunar issues, and
often through relationship. In the LR to Sun chart for the month of
death, we are finding very conspicuous angular Nodal placements,
which suggests being in the company of family/associates at that
time, and/or potential other Nodal meanings. (karmic factors,
maternal influence, etc.)
The reliability of these charts has caused me to check these charts
first in the “stack” (perfect word, from Eshelman) of Return charts
for events or time-period analysis.
