Embolismic lunation is a bit demanding method, but in my experience it's very accurate. I hope you all know what the embolismic lunation is and how it's calculated, but the simple explanation would be - return of the Moon to the exact same position as natal in regard to Sun. It takes time to calculate but is pretty simple to interpret since the most important thin is position of the Asc in embolismic lunation in regard to natal houses. For example, in the year 2021. my husband lost his father, grandmother, aunt and unce all in 8 months - his embolismic lunation Asc for that year was in his 8th natal house. My embolismic lunation Asc for this year is in the 9th natal house - most of my focus this year is on finishing my PhD studies, I've participated on two international conferences, published two papers, prepared one more, subbmited my PhD thesis proposal etc... In both cases, I've confirmed the above mentioned by profections of the year as well as with solar return charts. The same indicators could be seen by multiple methods.

For the next year (starts July 14th on my birthday) the embolismic lunation is in my 5th house for the first time in more than 20 years I used the method. The year profection is in the 9th house (probably some more focus on PhD studies), the solar return Asc is also in 5th house (this is very commen with embolismic lunation, it's confirmed with some other method). My natal ruler of the 5th house is Saturn, that is the strongest planet in my natal, it's in the sign of Libra 4,16 degree in close conjunction with Jupiter on 3,37 degree of Libra, and the Asc ruler Mercury applies closely from the sign of Cancer 1,16 degree. As you can see the Saturn is in his sect, in the sign of his exaltation, triplicity and his own term. There is an aphorism (Dorotheus I believe) about this position that says something about the children that are not upbrought (sorry if I didn't translate this well, English is not my first language). I was abandoned by my parents when very little and raised by my maternal grandma and uncle.

The ruler of the profection Venus is in Leo in solar return chart (the same as natal position) but it's on the natal North Node position. The thing that's interested is that in solar return chart North Node is in close conjunction with Part of Fortune, in Aries, that is 8th natal house.

I think that this combination of indicators should predict an important event from the signification of the 5th house, but I'm still not sure what kind.

What do you think about this and what's your experience with embolismic lunation method?

I attached charts.

When the accumulation tops 30 days
the maximum length of a calculated lunar month
an additional 13th lunar month is deemed to be inserted
within the calendar year. This additional intercalated lunation
is called an "embolism"
and a year with 13 lunations is "embolismic".


Astrologically speaking, an ’embolismic lunation’
is simply a return of the Moon
to the same phase-angle or relative position it held
with respect to the Sun at the moment of birth :)

On average, the Sun and the Moon return to
their natal phase angle every 29.530589 days.

In other words, the mean period
of the Sun-Moon phase angle return
is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes.
However, owing to the eccentricity of
the Moon’s orbit around Earth
and slightly to the Earth’s elliptical orbit
around the Sun,
the period from
one Sun-Moon phase-angle return to the next
can vary by up to seven hours:)



Placidus “applied the term Embolismic Lunation
to a Figure cast for the moment of the Moon’s return
to the same relation to the Sun that it occupied at birth.
It was made
the basis for judgment
concerning the affairs & conditions
of the ensuing year of life.
.”

you first identify the embolismic return
for the start of a given year of life
aka the annual SOLAR REVOLUTION
aka solar return date.
The embolismic lunar return so identified
then maps onto that entire single year of life

each synodic lunar period of 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes 2.8 seconds
is regarded as equivalent to a tropical year of life.
Doing the division of a year by a synodic month,
we find that there are 12.368 ’embolismic lunations’
during each tropical year.
The first embolismic lunation after birth
corresponds to age 1
and the second year of life
the second return, to age 2 and the third year of life
and so on.

The embolismic returns can be read as we read
SOLAR REVOLUTION aka solar return charts,
both as in comparison with the natal chart.
Themes highlighted
are likely to play out during the year of life
corresponding to the embolismic return

Fascinating discussion on embolismic lunation! It’s intriguing how these intercalary months play a role in aligning lunar and solar calendars. This concept adds a deeper layer to understanding astrological timing and its historical significance.
