My Lunar Return happened to fall on New Year's Eve.

Saturn is stationary in 21'46 Virgo in my 1st house sextiling my Venus in 21'47 Scorpio in 3rd. It hasn't entered 22'00 Virgo yet. It's not going to until August 2009. That's a long way off. I am not sure if I care about that or not. Transiting Saturn will be in minor grand trine with my Venus trine Orcus again,conjunct my Venus/Orcus and Pluto/Ascendant midpoints. I will be curious how that manifests.

any ways my Lunar Return looks a bit tough with the Station Saturn angular on Ascendant and square Midheaven, and the Saturn-Ascendant is an apex with a yod involving Neptune and Eris which makes me think that spiritual diversity issues might be a factor in my month long period. I have been thinking of returning to the unity church that I attended back in the late spring which I did to help me get over the breakup with my exgf on April 2nd of last year. It's better than getting drunk over her which would be a bad thing for my t-square of Moon in Pisces in 6th square the opposition of retrograde Saturn in Gemini in 9th and Jupiter-Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd. The Saturn-Uranus square Midheaven in Lunar Return chart seems like my reputation could be bad due to unconventional things,and that's the case within the mainstream Astrological community. A matter of fact, I am thinking of disassociating myself from it. I am thinking of labeling myself something like Holistic Celestial Practitioner.I've had my doubts about Mainstream Astrology for sometime,and I just don't like the overall attitudes of those people in that community. The lunar return has Eris sextile Midheaven and Sedna is semisextile Midheaven. Actually Sedna is conjunct the Eris/Midheaven midpoint,and I think that might have to do with spiritual diversity too. Eris also conjunct the Neptune/Midheaven midpoint could also indicate that too. Sedna is also trine the Stationary-Saturn Ascendant conjunction,and I think that it's about being serious about spiritual matters. Neptune trine Midheaven can also be spiritual objectives,especially with Sedna involved. I am actually going to start attending "Living The Secret" meetups as well as other metaphysical group meetups and do some networking in holistic,metaphysical community here in Sacramento,California.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to work out,be more muscular,and be more in shape. That's why I ordered some weights. Sun-Mars-Pluto in 4th house sextile Moon in 6th seems like exercise,weight working out routine. Fits with health...especially with Saturn conjunct Ascendant in Virgo. I have been getting more into nutrition. I haven't had any sweets/junkfood since middle of July until last weekend when I got a Vegan Brownie. I also had vanilla ice cream. I enjoyed eggnog too. Now that the holiday season is over, stricter diet and nutrition. My secondary progressed Sun is conjunct my natal Mars/Pluto midpoint fits with working out/muscular development. I should get my weights during this lunar return. Mercury conjunct Jupiter in 5th seems like a time for me to lighten up,go out,talk to others,and have some fun which I don't do. There could be some romance. The Mercury-Jupiter is conjunct Venus/Pluto midpoint. Transiting Pluto is contraparalleling my Venus. The Lunar return has Venus conjunct Moon and Neptune, conjuncting their midpoint. So maybe it could be a time of finding romantic love. January 26th is the 3rd year anniversary of when I met my exgirlfriend,and so I could be missing her a lot on that day. January 25th is the 11 year anniversary of my maternal grandfather's suicide which sparked my spiritual/soul search which led me to Astrology.

January 2nd is my father's birthday. Even though I never knew him, I am going to celebrate his birthday by lighting a candle for the whole day as well as going out to a New Orleans style restaurant for dinner. He was a black creole man born in New Orleans. Yesterday was the 9th year anniversary of when I found him on social security California death record index when I was doing some genealogical research on ancestry.com. That's how I discovered his birthdate,was able to confirm my accurate 1998 hunch that he had Moon in Pisces like me because he was so much like me with my mom telling me that I remind her so much of my father. Finding him and looking at his chart(unfortunately no birthtime) also helped me understand myself more too. That was only 3 months shortly before I found out about Dyslexia,Dyspraxia,ADHD, realizing that I had that too and that the the schizoaffective bipolar diagnosis that psychiatrists diagnosed me with was a misdiagnoses. I realized that I was one of many neurodivergents that have been misdiagnosed as having serious psychiatric disorders,especially others telling me similar stories as well as reading news stories about it. Even both my parents had issues with psychiatry because of their neurodivergence. I realized that I inherited my neurodivergence from both my parents and that maybe that's what brought them together in the first place that made my birth possible.

I succeeded in getting my neurodivergence confirmed,recognized,documented by neurologists because I went out to fight for myself and prove the psychiatrists wrong. I believe that every neurodivergent should do that.
Of course, I found my life purpose as neurodiversity advocate as well as an astrologer helping others/their loved ones with their neurodivergence, seeing the chart from the neurodivergent perspective as well as pointing out how certain astrological indicators can be neurodivergence indicators and not just psychological problem/psychiatric indicators that astrologers seem to focus on ..especially aspects like Moon square Neptune which I have. I do believe that I am a very good astrologer because of my neurodivergence and not in spite of it just like many other neurodivergents are good at certain things because of their neurodivergence and not in spite of it. Neurodivergence is not a disorder to be ashamed or nor medicated for. It's a variation of the human condition with significant weaknesses but also significant strengths which often tend to be connected. I thought about the possibility of starting a U.S. version of DANDA (The Developmental Adult Neuro-Diversity Association). Because I care a lot about neurodivergent children and how so many are they are being misdiagnosed,mistreated,and medicated , I want it to involve children. Therefore it would actually be DNDA(The Developmental Neuro-Diversity Association. United Kingdom already has its own DANDA.

DANDA in UK http://www.danda.org.uk/

I think that this current lunar return is about doing some soul searching,exploring my spirituality and connecting to it more, starting New Year's resolutions and sticking to them, get over Meghann(my exgirlfriend),and really start anew. By the time, my lunar return is over, I will be 3 months into my solar return period which means that's when the solar return events start unfolding more. I am excited but scared at the same time.

any ways...I am taking a break from the forum for a month.

I want to wish everybody a Happy New Year, and I hope that you all get the things that you desire and make you happy.
