some astrology reminders since mercury has moved into cancer & y'all have lost your minds.
there is NO such thing as an empty house. if you believe in empty houses you are learning from the wrong resources.
if you have an aquarius 2nd house with nothing there you look to its ruler. saturn.
this is why you can't sperate the signs & planets, they are intrinsically linked.
in fact, you have to keep this in mind for the whole chart. say that saturn is in the 9th house. this links the 2nd house & the 9th house. this will show someone who could make money from philosphy, importance around long distance travel, surrounded by or is a mentor & finds this nourishing. either way this person is going to be dealing with nourishment & "higher" thoughts in all the forms those come in.
next. sun is not your personality.
sun is more akin to the plotline of your life. think about the sun itself. it is constant; it hasn't changed since we've been alive. could you say that about your PERSONALITY? vs the things that drive you? the sun is more related to that which we seek, what brightens our world, what we need to feel triumphant, succesfully; what keeps us going & commands the rest of the chart.
the moon as the reflector of the sun is the environment created. think about how full moons 'cause havoc, pulls us outside, makes the oceans water rise. rarely can i sleep on a full moon. think about how she fills & releases like the mother's womb. in electional & horary astrology the moon is one of the most significant pieces because she most directly influences the day to day ongoings in our environment as she watches over us.
your rising is where the idea of YOU comes in. it is the moment we are no longer connected to the mother, the first breath, the end of the soul's journy to the body falling from the 12th house; the cutting of the umbilical cord. the rising sign sets the tone for the entire chart. chang the rising change the entirity of the chart.
if you are a capricorn rising with a mercury in aqua that places the planet in the 2nd house. mercury needs knowledge, communication & exhibits double-mindedness on matters of nourishment, money, skills & resouces.
now make this a leo rising. mercury is then in the 7th house of marriage, open enemies, law & feasts. communication in these matters will come up much more & the focus on such things will likely be of more imporance than the previous placements (whole chart matters).
these are drastically different expressions of the signs so setting your birth time to 12:00 pm is completely unacceptable.
with study & practice if you have an uncertain time you can use what's called rectification to get as close as possible. some astrologers specialize in this & can get it down to the moment. i can get sign but i'm not as good as getting it to the minute.
you HAVE to learn the foundations of astrology before you can use it for anything at all meaningful. if you don't know which 2 signs go to which 2 planets & why they're associated then how can you comfortably speak on them? if you don't know that while they line up nicely sign =/= planet that that isn't how it works why did you believe it? if you don't know the nature of the aspects why?
you should be asking a LOT of questions when it comes to astrology.
& if you aren't familiar with Abu Mas'har, Firmiticus, Manilius or hell even Chris Brennana, Dematra, and elders, mentors, Babas or ANY authorities on astrology then i must ask what you are doing? you're shafting yourself not knowing this things.
my predictive ability is as it is because i've always asked WHY & the universe answered.
please, stay curios.
