Waxing and waning Moon in Lunar Return Charts

Hi Ernst,

Ever since I learned about Lunar Return Charts in your Positional Transit Course, I’ve found them to be a great tool for understanding the influences on a given month.

When casting Lunar Return charts, the Moon will be waxing or waning for half the year due to its placement relative to the Sun. Does this suggest that one half of the year is more about growth and the other about release? Or is this effect negligible since the primary focus is on analyzing the Lagna and its lord in this chart?

Thank you for clarifying!
