However, that planet set IS consistent with hormonal imbalance and irregularity. If you want to start looking into health causes, that's the area I might start.

That's true in a natal chart - for innate vulnerabilities etc. - but of course in a return chart it's going to be what's foreground (nothing else really matters much).

Just as a starter - not as a diagnosis, but for your consideration as a medical professional - here are the soundest medical correlations I know for these three planets in various combinations:


Moon-Venus. Hormones in general. Female reproductive biology (ova, menstruation, all fluids related to female reproduction). Interaction of hindbrain and limbic system.

Moon-Pluto. Irregular menstruation; conception, lost pregnancy. Anomalous and unlikely medical conditions. Profound psychological impact of events (e.g., PTSD), eruptions or disorders of the psyche, cathartic events (debilitative or healing). [Also, in natal, I've found it a significant factor in auto-immune responses.]

Venus-Pluto. Significant changes or shifts in endocrine function. Hormone release into the blood (first menstruation, menopause). Sex-related afflictions. Psychological impact (trauma) disturbs body equilibrium. Thyroid, kidney, or blood sugar disease. – Conception.

I've been working on trying to accept reality for the way it is and not for what I want it to be.

Every lunar return means something - and something happens. It frames your reality for two weeks. Some are only internal, some leak out and express "outside" events.

I'm skeptical too much will blossom until transiting Saturn clears your Sun etc. around the first of the year. In between I see some pro and con things. With the bad charts, the thing to remember is that you have a GOOD solar return, which makes bad lunars not so bad and makes good lunars better. For example, your October 10 SLR has Saturn opposite your Sun and square your Mars in the foreground - that will be a rougher couple of weeks than usual (but occurring inside a GOOD solar return). Then the next one, November 6, has your natal Venus-Jupiter square foreground (with Venus quite close).

There are then good charts and bad charts throughout the rest of the year. The April 19 SLR is an example of a great one, with transiting Jupiter really strong and your Sun somewhat strong. The May 17 is strange - if I had to guess, it would be a beautiful time of pursuing fantasies, though being disillusioned in the end. (It's a fantastic Venus 0°03' from an angle and Jupiter next most angular, with natal Neptune involved - then, contradicting everything else, Saturn squares your Neptune 0°07'.) My usual advice for this kind of chart is to enjoy it while it's good, then let go when it's time.

There's quite a mix.
