There are so many lunars in here that have the potential to be "outstanding" but they are not bringing about any unusual or outstanding events and that may be because the solar return is not indicating "outstanding" circumstances or events from the outside environment.
I think not, considering that there are hard published statistics on lunar returns showing childbirths, weddings, and violent accidents.

I think the lunar component isn't so much feelings as responsiveness to conditions (thin difference, I know). For the most part, I think lunar returns focus and filter the relative importance of transits and are essentially transit charts. I think them no more subjective than the other things you mention.

By current SLR with Sun-Jupiter square closely foreground brought in more money in one week than I'm used to getting in, say, four typical months. This was something I'd been planning for, maneuvering toward, etc., but the currents came together at exactly that spot to make it all happen. If I merely felt good because I got my predictable December bonus and the holidays were coming, that would be equally Sun-Jupiter but really not worthy of the best SLR I'm having for the next year.

Well, congrats on your Sun-Jupiter money! :)

I can't wait to get out of this current lunar return and into a new one on January 9th. I can't say that anything bad happened at all - it's just been a strange feeling of emptiness within me for a couple of weeks. I want to get out of it and into a better mood and brighter times. But I'm not sure it will necessarily be that quick.

My upcoming lunar return on Jan 9th is both positive and heavy.
For 23.40 bt. the PV mundo chart has Jupiter @ 1,39° on the DSC but further away ecliptically. It has t. Venus 2° square the ASC. It has a Moon-Uranus conjunction and a Moon-Sun partile trine.

Comparing it to the natal, I see that t. Sun is partile the r. MC and t. Nep is partile sq. r. Venus - BUT it also has the t. Snode partile my r. Pluto.

The lunar return for an alternative 23.27 bt. is slightly different. It still has t. Jup as the closest to the angle, within 3° from DSC. T. Venus is partile square the ASC. But t. Pluto is partile square the MC. T. Sun is not closely conjunct the r. MC.

It seems like a good time with the Jupiter Venus vibes. But I'm guessing the emptiness will still be there since those Pluto vibes are on the nodes.

Alright, here we go. I'm into my new lunar return now. I started making some monetary arrangement yesterday and I am offering a few of my art pieces for sale on a sales platform tomorrow when the Moon will get closer to a square to t. Venus and a conjunction with t. Jupiter. :) I hope it will work.

This month I've decided to apply to exhibit again at the very prestigious place I was lucky enough to exhibit last summer. IF I get a yes to that, I will consider myself VERY LUCKY. I've also decided to apply to rent a little wall space in a Gallery/shop downtown where a lot of tourists stop by to shop for local art. :)

Having both Venus and Jupiter on the return angles must be somewhat helpful for such endeavours.

This morning in Rvk. Am hoping it's going to be a few weeks of success with the Venus Jupiter theme... although there is still, and will be for a while, that damn Saturn squaring my local ASC. :roll:

Oh right, you said lunar and I somehow registered solar. (I'm back on the road and away from my main computer again for a few more days. We're getting out of the ash-air.)

Oh my, oh my! I just heard about the California fires! What a disaster! I'm glad to hear you're ok.

Congratulations on renting the space at the gallery! I think that is fantastic! So glad to hear your art is hanging on display!
At the college gallery I noticed that many students had a guest book for visitors to write in, give their feedback and say hello, it seemed like a gesture that fostered strengthing connections and being open and receptive and inviting the viewer to participate in the experience of the art on a different level then simply the pocketbook purchase.
I think the guest book idea is very Saturnesque in a way we don't typically experience Saturn and is much more pleasant.
How exciting for you to go and decorate a space with your work, you must be booming with ideas on which piece to put where and how to use the lighting and all that!! Have fun with it and please let me know how it goes, I can't wait to hear about it.!

Thank you very much for your good wishes Veronica. Actually, I didn't get a space in the gallery yet, but I sent applications this morning. Two applications for a small space/wall in galleries and one to an exhibition place. I will send to another exhibition place this afternoon, hopefully when the local ASC is by the Moon-Jupiter conjunction. The Moon is now square Venus and approaching Jupiter and I believe the benefics are mitigating/softening the bad effects from Saturn which is square my ASC (for bt 23.40).

Thank you for the tip about the guest book. I have always had a guest book at my exhibitions and I will keep this in mind if I get a gallery space for a few weeks/months. I will ask for permission to have a guest book setup on the wall. I always write a message to the guests during the openings of my exhibitions and encourage their expression. Oh my, oh my, how wonderful it has been to get their messages written in my book. It felt like an extra boost during my exhibitions, especially the first two when I wasn't sure how people would receive my artwork. Actually, I'm going to open it up now and read the comments again. The tourists were especially expressive.

Here are a few of the comments I got as a message in my guest book during my first and second year exhibitions. :)
Great work, Stunning, Lively, You're a master genius, Great exhibition, Beautiful work, Amazing, Deep and interesting artwork, Amazing, the colours are incredible, Beautiful work, a pleasure to see, Very brilliant and impressive works, Spectacular work, Fantastic paintings, Wonderful art, Mesmerizing.... and then some of these were repeated by other people.

I remember how I felt when I read those great messages, it was so nourishing and it filled my heart and spirit with joy and gratitude. And it was so very nourishing to remind myself of this right now and read them again as I'm applying to exhibit again. It lifts my spirit onto higher level. I'm more optimistic now. :)

OMG! I did not expect this! I already got an answer from the most prestigious place I applied to this morning, with a very positive vibe and compliments on my work! She seemed positive to get me in for the Culture Night in summer and assign someone to work with me on that.

OMG, OMG, OMG - I can hardly believe this is already happening! I'm SO EXCITED!!! This is going to elevate me even more and probably help me to get more exposure and possibly more contacts. This is SO GREAT!

Added: Seems like the Jup-Venus vibes are already working for me. :)
