We continue our case study of Benazir Bhutto, this time examining her Lunar Return that came in on December 5th, 2007 while campaigning in Islamabad. Using our structured approach to interpreting Returns, we again apply the various considerations from Chapter 18 of Morin's Book 23 that quickly demonstrates the tragic realization of events during this lunar revolution already foreseen potentially in both the Natal and her Solar Revolution.

This lesson covers a quick review of her natal chart, an examination of her December 5th Lunar Return, and only the first part of our delineation of the combined charts. That is when we superimpose the lunar around the natal, we examine only the impact of the lunar influences on the natal.

Next week's lesson 9 will finish the study of the lunar by examining how the natal influences in turn condition the natal configuration for the month. This will be followed if time permits with a review of the Transits in force on the day of her death.

Note: If you do not already have a copy of Morin's Book 23 (as translated by James Holden), I strongly urge that you obtain a copy from either the American Federation of Astrologers (www.astrologers.com) or Astroamerica (www.astroamerica.com) web sites. While we draw all our considerations for these lesson from Chapter 18 which is a good summary of the technique of Revolutions, it is only a condensation of what is more broadly and extensively discussed in the volume itself.
