Lunar Return Revelation (One)
an astrological diary of the HIGH-lights & LOW-keys of the past lunar month
Hello Lovers,
it has been quite some time since my last update on here, though i have been active on Instagram & Threads these days! recently on March 28, i entered my Cancer 8th House profection year, the zodiac sign where my Mars is activated as in-house timelord, while the domicile guardian Gemini Moon hides in the 12th Sign-Space from Cancer.
one of my wishes this year is to make space for more Lunar veneration in my spiritual/mundane/magical praxis… and i’ve been thinking a lot about the monthly lunar return charts… a chart that i dabble in from time to time to look for supporting testimony - though i rarely use them in consultation sessions! perhaps, i should ~
since the “Moon” governs the process of “Revelation” in our embodied lives i thought it would be BRILLIANT & WISE for me to reflect on my relationship with my body, my health, my memory, my emotional volatility/stability, my emotional responses to people & places ~ by reflecting on my recent lunar return!
one of the major revelations i experienced in the past month was rectifying my late grandmother’s birth time!
… and i felt it was important to document it here. FYI, i have been working on-and-off (intuitively) to rectify the birth charts for loved ones, especially hers. in the case of my late grandmother, i became interested in determining her birth time - which was not available information in her birth certificate records - ever since she passed away in October 2019.
interestingly, i had a lunar return chart with a Gemini ascendant (natal 7th House) with an Aries Mercury cazimi, as the ascendant lord - signifying something BOLD getting clarified during the month. the Mercury is not just responsible for the Gemini 1st House of Self, but also the Virgo 4th House of Ancestry - further testifying to the revelation i received about my beloved ancestor! on the eve of my lunar return, my extended family gathered at my late grandparents’ house for a reunion - something we haven’t done at her house since 2019. during that night, i got my final “event” chart to confirm her birth time. magically that night, i had a deep conversation with one of my cousins about my astrological practice - and i found out my cousin has a Taurus Moon! less than a week later, i rectified Che’s birth time… and guess what… her natal Moon is also in Taurus… and during the rectification night - i realized both of them have it in the same degrees! WOW, ~ cosmic coincidence?
the Gemini Moon was also applying to an opening sextile with Aries Venus, sitting in her bounds. Venus is a signifier of women in our lives, and i happen to “confirm” my late grandmother’s birth time during my exact Venus return, using an event chart of our family reunion - the night when i also discovered my cousin’s natal placement! ALHAMDULILLAH ~
another important highlight was that i went for an out-of-state yoga retreat weekend with my favorite yoga community - a yoga studio i have loved since late 2018! here we have Mars in Pisces (separating from a conjunction with Saturn) in the 10th House as the ruler of both Scorpio 6th House of Health & Aries 11th House of Community in the lunar return chart! it was such a lovely weekend filled with soul friends, some of whom i only got to know more of from the retreat. using the method of overlapping houses with the natal chart - one could also argue that the Taurus 12th House (with Jupiter signifying community) as the House of Retreat perfectly aligned with my natal 6th House of Health (yoga) = yoga retreat! i was able to observe the fixed stars: Spica, Arcturus, Regulus, and Denebola, and had significant psychic revelations during a Yoga Nidra session, under the stars.
archetypally, we were also staying in TWO huge villas conjoined in the middle by the beach in Balok, Kuantan - which is BIZARRE since Pisces is a DOUBLE-bodied sign representing TWO fishes swimming away from each other, and also a water sign representing the SEA! i mean look at these visual comparison photos i got from the Villaku Residence page with the Pisces constellation: DIVINE
GORL, I AM GAGGED BY THE PISCES SIGNATURE
aite, that’s all for now! till more astrological diaries via lunar return revelation…
Forever Your Love Devotee,
