Please give me any feedback that you can on my mental meanderings through this, any specific questions, etc.

I came out to my friends first day of 10th grade, sometime at the end of August it would have been a Monday
This was 2015. It could have been August 31, 2015, or a week earlier. How early did school usually start?
I'm starting with the 7:15 chart, just because I have to have somewhere to start.
TRANSITS: Venus-Mars opposed your Uranus. That's pretty much text book, but it doesn't help us with the time.
Your LUNAR RETURN August 16 is quite unpleasant. It primarily has Saturn on Descendant. If the angles were 4 earlier, this would shift to Jupiter square Ascendant. Oh, your Uranus is near MC.
I'm betting it was August 31, because your August 29 DEMI-LUNAR has Uranus rising, among other things. This doesn't help refine the time, but does confirm we're probably in the right broad range.
Your SOLAR RETURN covering 2015 has Jupiter on MC, suggesting that it was a year of victories and positive rewards. (Your Uranus is also engaged if the birth time doesn't shift much.)
Moved in with my grandparents after my parents got arrested [which happened approximately April 8, 2012'], we were away with the grandparents)
TRANSITS would make more sense if the birth time were later, e.g., transiting Saturn at 1°58' Libra might have been on your MC for this. That would be closer to 7:30.
PROGRESSIONS are interesting and show a mix of things happening right about then, but nothing specifically useful to pinning down a time (especially since we don't have an exact event day). Ah, we're close, though, since (for a 7:15 birth) progressed Moon is square your Saturn (while concurrently sextile progressed Venus, which squares your natal Moon). This still gives us considerable leeway - more than an hour either direction - but is really good symbolism and surely shows you have a high responsiveness to progressions.
Your Lunar Return occurred April 4 and covered the next four weeks. Its main feature is angular Jupiter, exactly square your natal Uranus (on EP). At most, this suggests the being taken supportively in some sort of shifting time, but it's not crystal clear. If you birth were a bit later, natal Neptune would be rising instead - this would only be appropriate if the main characteristic of the time was confusion and "what happens now?" sort of uncertainty (was it?). If the events were as late as April 15-16 or after, you have a two-week Demi-Lunar that again (for 7:15) has Jupiter exactly angular and a Mars-Neptune opposition (but it's stronger for a later, not earlier, birth time).
Your Mars would be angular (for about 7:15 or the half hour or so earlier) which would be appropriate if your primary reaction was angry acting out. But you've now confirmed that your reaction was not anger but was relief. This (taken by itself, in isolation) discourages looking at earlier times and favors the later ones with Jupiter and Jupiter-Uranus.
Again, a progressed Moon says we're on the right track broadly: Progressed Solar Return Moon conoined your Uranus that month.
Around Halloween [might have been Halloween night] 2005 I was scared along with my siblings by my mom's bf dressed as the scream with a scythe
So we'll use evening of October 31, 2005 as an approximate time. This, you said, was the PTSD event, which should prove an especially powerful one.
TRANSITS: Neptune conjoined your Uranus, which wouldn't trigger this as a transit alone, but would befitting if it fell to an angle of a relevant return chart. Uranus widely opposed your Moon and squared your Pluto, not close enough to count alone but, again, something to watch for on return angles.
PROGRESSIONS: Progressed Moon was in orb of square natal Mars, certainly appropriate for a fright and the adrenaline-fear response it would trigger. There are other small things, none of which contribute to highlighting the birth time.
Your LUNAR RETURN set up October 28 and applied to the following month. It has a Moon-Uranus opposition across the horizon (square your Pluto). It doesn't help narrow things, because it could be comparably strong for the entire range of times we're examining.
Your SOLAR RETURN for the year gives us some promising information: Its Ascendant was 24° Aries. Transiting Mars on Halloween night was 22°32' Aries. This would be an exactly appropriate transit for the occasion. If you SSR Ascendant were exactly where Mars was at, say, 9 PM October 31, that would suggest a birth time of about 7:10 AM. (Remember, I'm just gathering individual scraps of information, none of which are definitive by themselves, and looking for patterns.)
Your progressed Solar Return Moon squared Jupiter, which just doesn't describe this event at all.
I got my eagle scout project complete around April 20 [2018] (It was finalized)
You've confirmed that this was a long-term victory, which I'm sure was a point of pride and accomplishment.
TRANSITS alone were minor (for our present purpose), e.g., Venus opposite your Venus.
PROGRESSIONS were quite interesting, though. Progressed Moon at 2°30' was
just past conjunct your progressed Jupiter. Birth would have to be about 20 minutes earlier (6:55 or earlier) for it still to be within a 1° orb. It's quite a fitting aspect.
Your LUNAR RETURN is splendid! Jupiter is exactly at Midheaven, which is a fabulous indicator of such an accomplishment. For 7:15 birth, Jupiter was 1 1/2° after MC, so anytime from (estimating) 6:55to 7:20 would have it within 3°. (It doesn't have to be that close, but this chart is feeling like it was all about Jupiter being
exactly on MC, so I'll start there.)
It might not be
that close, though, because your Venus is a little later, and having both your Venus and transiting Jupiter on the angle together (conjunct) is even a better event. So we're still playing with a range. Venus would tip it to the later side. This also brings your Neptune up.
Your April 12 Demi-Lunar had occurred in between, and it's more of a crazy-making chart. Moon-Neptune are near the MC. It discourages me from wanting to name a birth time
later than 7:15, because that would start moving Saturn closer to an angle - Saturn-Neptune being rather morbid and heart-sickening. Unless there was some ugly, soul-deadening think that happened as part of this event (or another event in the two weeks after April 11), we likely don't have a time any later than around 7:15. A later time would increasingly highlight
wounded pride, rather than righteous pride (Saturn and your Sun setting together), so I doubt the later times.
Your SOLAR RETURN gives a progressed Moon-Pluto square
exact to the minute, which would be appropriate if this were a
really big deal event (as it seems it was). This doesn't help us with the time, though.
I started practicing astrology November 2016
If I look at planets for, say, November 15, I immediately notice Uranus at 26° Pisces, a couple of degrees earlier than your 7"15' IC. This would be one interesting transit. This would suggest a birthtime around 7:04 (with several minutes of leeway, plus the possibility that this wasn't the triggering transit - but it's a good one). - Uranus, however, could have been concentrating on your progressed Sun and (especially) Mercury instead.
Your October 26 LUNAR RETURN doesn't help much. It has your natal Venus, Mars, and Neptune exactly angular, which probably gave a significant event but wouldn't directly relate to picking up the study of astrology. You had another Lunar Return November 22 (think: just before Thanksgiving) that emphasized a Moon-Neptune opposition to your natal Moon-Pluto, and at least reflects "lots of weird stuff," but isn't a clean hit.
Your SOLAR RETURN for the year beginning December 27, 2015, has Uranus rising. It's a little better for a
later birth time, but I've become suspicious of times later than 7:15, and it's good enough for the whole range. Also, progressed Solar Return Moon would oppose your natal Uranus about a month later - it wasn't quite there - perhaps your interest accelerated or there was more of a sense of discovery in December?
Dec 29th I believe of [2017] I got my first tattoo a black mamba snake skeleton warped around my left wrist. It was very important for me it {nassed} my gram parents [the ones in living with, stepdads parents off] but my mom and her mom, my mom's sister and many others in the family have tattoos so it was like a rite of passage for me.
I thought this would be a fun event to try.
TRANSITS do concentrate on the 7:15 time pretty well, since (for that time) Saturn was on your Ascendant and Uranus on your IC (conjunct your Jupiter regardless of time). It's a great pair of planets for taking a rebellious and individualizing yourself. There are other interesting transits that don't help with the time, such as Venus exactly conjunct your Sun.
PROGRESSIONS probably have a contribution to make, but without a clear birth time it's hard to tell. For 7:15, progressed Moon conjoined your natal IC, which could be quite consistent with, say, owning a maternal legacy. But with such uncertainty on the birth time, I'm not going to jump to that conclusion. (It's individualizing, "rite of passage" stuff either way, since it squares your progressed Sun within 1°.)
The clear "line in the sand," though, is that this is right after your birthday, with a new SOLAR RETURN. Strangely, this doesn't show much - Neptune angular opposite your Moon and square your Pluto. I can't say this is helpful.
Your LUNAR RETURN occurred December 9 and
also has the Moon-Neptune opposition (square your Pluto) on the angles. This time, though, it's squared by Venus! - so you were doing the rebellion, doing a new weird-aff thing, and there is art involved (I'm being simplistic). This would be stronger if the birth time were earlier than 7:15 (it's good enough the way it is, but getting that Venus squarely involved makes a lot of sense) - a "perfect chart" (which also ends up putting Sun on Midheaven, which feels fitting) suggests a birth time of 7:00 AM.
Your DEMI-LUNAR RETURN December 24 has the Moon-Neptune angular again, this time square Ascendant (and square the rising Mercury). It also puts Venus, Saturn, and Sun triply conjoined on EP. I don't think this helps us, other than suggesting (because of the tighter orbs for square to Ascendant) that the 7:15 time or one not much earlier is on target. We can't go earlier than 7:02 and have both Moon and Neptune within 2° of square Ascendant, or earlier than 6:58 for a 3° orb.
Halloween of [2017] was important as it marked the headway I had made in the voodon religion... I found the day of the dead [in Mexican, Voodon, and Celtic cultures, as they all celebrate it at the same time around the world, a very important and spiritual holiday for me].
Dang... I wrote a whole lot on this and then lost it. I'm going to try to reconstruct it.
TRANSITS are very interesting. A time of day for the event would help, as would more information on exactly what the event was. (It sounds like it was a revelation or disclosure, and this does match several possible themes.) Descriptive but not helpful with the time is Uranus' conjunction with your Jupiter. Fitting on its own I Saturn at 29°35' Scorpio conjunct your Mercury (and it would be sweet if this were also your Ascendant - but that would require a time of around 6:45 am). For a birth time of around 7 AM, Pluto would conjoin your Eastpoint by transit. For something more like 7:07 AM (depending on time of day for the event), Venus would conjoin your natal MC. A lot of possibilities.
Your LUNAR RETURN is interesting, and would be more interesting with a slightly earlier time - if this was a revelation or disclosure event - because it would put your Uranus on an angle. (You have your Saturn either way, but that would only be exact for a later time, which I now doubt.) Your Neptune hovers around possible angles. The whole is quite interesting, but we can only get the real effect once we know the birth time better.
Your DEMI-LUNAR occurred October 30, and one would expect this to be the pivotal chart. It does have a Moon-Neptune conjunction angular again - square MC, with your Pluto on MC. This seems pretty accurate for what I
think you are describing in the event. It doesn't give us a lot of leeway on timing, since the orb for square is small. About the earliest that would preserve this would be a 7 AM birth time. Your Mars is rising regardless.
