A Lunar Return occurs each month when the Moon returns to the exact degree and sign it held in your natal chart. It marks the beginning of a new emotional cycle, offering insights into feelings, reactions, relationships, and intuitive shifts for the month ahead.

Ascendant: Reflects how you'll present yourself emotionally and the mood of the month.
Moon’s House Placement: Shows the area of life that will receive the most emotional attention.
Aspects to the Moon: Reveal inner tension or ease, and how you'll interact with others.
Other Planets: Show short-term trends, interactions, and how your emotional landscape may be influenced.

Key Elements in Monthly Profection:

Profected Monthly House: The house that becomes active for the month, showing where energy and attention are directed.
Monthly Lord (Ruler of the House): This planet’s condition in your chart and in the sky shows how you'll experience the month.
