Frequently asked questions
What is a lunar return?
A lunar return is the moment the transiting Moon returns to the exact position it held in your birth chart. Because the Moon orbits quickly, this happens roughly every 27 to 28 days, making it a monthly reset of your emotional and instinctive cycle.
What is a lunar return chart used for?
Astrologers cast a chart for the moment of your lunar return and read it as a forecast for the coming month — especially its rising sign and the houses the Moon activates. It is a popular short-term timing tool, best read alongside the rest of your chart.
How often does a lunar return happen?
About every 27 to 28 days, so you have a little more than twelve lunar returns each year. This calculator finds your next exact lunar return date counting forward from today.
