Similar to a solar return (varshphal) which happens annually when the sun returns to its natal position near your birthday, a lunar return, known in Vedic astrology as the monthly Tithi Pravesha, happens each month.
This event is marked when the moon returns to the exact degree and sign it occupied at your birth, and the chart drawn at this moment reflects the same lunar phase as at the time of your birth, offering insights into the month ahead.
🌓 Lunar Return or Monthly Tithi Pravesha
Lunar returns happen every 28/29 days and offer insights into the flow of life through the lunar cycle. The Moon’s placement by house, sign, and its aspects to other planets in the chart provide clues to emotional and physical experiences during the upcoming month, making it a valuable tool for personal and spiritual growth.
Lunar returns emphasize the importance of the Moon in daily life and its significance in shaping our personality and life events through its phases and nakshatras. It is used to assess the quality of the month ahead with respect to personal moods, events, and general well-being.
When your Lunar return occurs you can do a special ritual to help you heal physically, mentally, and emotionally, cleansing all negativity and inviting happiness and success into your life for the month ahead.
✨ What Are Planetary Returns?
Planetary returns occur when a planet completes a full cycle through the zodiac and arrives back at the exact sign, degree, and house it occupied at the time of your birth.
These astrological events are like someone completing a journey around the world and returning to their starting point.
Each planet has its own schedule for returning based on its distance from Earth and the Sun. While the planets revolve around the Sun, astrology places Earth at the center of the zodiac wheel. In your birth chart, you are the center of the universe.
