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!

Lunar years have 12 or 13 lunar months so each month there is a waxing and waning phase and on the 12th or 13 return the next new year starts. So  yes, lif eis always half waning and half waxing but its based on month to month, not year to year.

Thank you for your respond. Yes, i meant it to be taken based on month to month.

My main question was: do we take the waxing/waning moon into account as a theme, even when it has nothing to do with the 1st House or it's lord?

This theme would then repeat itself for half a year waxing and one half waning...
