I am curious how you read them. I tried to read the last couple of lunar returns like I do with solars. They actually seemed quite positive on the love and job front. Neither of them materialised. Not even close. Perhaps I'm not reading them right.
You read them like a Solar Return, yes. But you have to work towards them, they don't just happen. Like, if the chart says you'll get a job, it doesn't mean you're going to wake up one day and be at work. You have to look for a job, fill out applications, etc. Sometimes they're practically handed to you, and you just disregard them for various reasons without thinking your Lunar Return is playing out. The same applies to love, if you just sit home or avoid potential suitors it'll never happen.
Other times it does play out, just in subtle ways or not in ways you'd hope. Or maybe you're just missing key pieces of information that point to it not happening (oh joy, Venus in the 5th! not realizing it's peregrine).
You also have to look at your natal and realize your limitations. Your Lunar Return can say you'll win the lottery, but if your natal says you'll be poor your whole life, stop playing the big jackpot games because it just won't happen.
