Starter is hard as a rock....
I have had my starter in the fridge since March or April, and just took it out. I know, I haven't been taking care of it. Well, it's hard as a rock. Any ideas on what I should do to revive it?

That sounds like it has dried out. It should be sealed so that wouldn't happen. But... If it has dried, you *might* be OK. Take some, add some water and flour and see what happens.
Cut it open, perhaps the center of it isn’t as hard. Either way take some from the center and hydrate it and then feed it some whole grain flour, keep it warm and helpfully it will grow.
