Requisite disclaimer that I’m a beginner and all that! Thanks for continuing these- I find them so interesting and useful.
*knuckle crack*
1. Personality – Looking to the native’s 1H and AC, both of which are ruled by Virgo, with their Mercury in Aries in their 8H (and retrograde!). I would guess that the native would be somewhat compulsive, with Virgo’s talents towards the detailed and the constructive melding with Aries’ drive and brashness. Especially with the native’s luminary in sect, the Sun, exalted in Aries as well, I would think that the Aries propulsive quality would be quite apparent, perhaps most especially in the native’s speech. Mercury’s placement in the 8H and it’s significations of death, inheritance, and the assets of others (which I’ve taken from the keywords that The Astrology Podcast provides) suggests that perhaps an aspect of the native’s life revolved around these topics. Maybe an inheritance or financial windfall of a partner defined their marriage or they created art that dealt with conceptions of death, just as a few ideas. The ruler of the AC being in a house that is in aversion to the 1H might point to the native having a hard time fully grasping who they are, or dealing with conflicting qualities in themselves without being able to balance or reconcile. I’m not quite sure how to read a ruler of the 1H being in retrograde, but my guess would be that either the native’s energy and expression were more frequently directed inwards to their inner world rather than outwards into the external world, or that some aspect of their life revolved around reflecting on and going over some particular event, maybe from their early life or even before they were born.
2. Relationships – For marriage, looking to the native’s 7H, which is ruled by Pisces. Their Jupiter is in their Aquarius-ruled 6H. This, to me, would suggest that the native’s immediate relationships are somewhat progressive for the time, perhaps in reimagining structures (with their Jupiter squaring their Saturn) and boundaries (with their 7H ruled by Pisces, as well as their Jupiter in opposition to their Neptune) beyond the cultural norm. I could see the native being polyamorous, for example, which might be further supported by the Moon and exalted Venus in their 7H (dreamlike melding) and Uranus closely conjunct their DC (inventiveness). For friends, the condition of their 7H applies, and in addition looking to the native’s 11H ruled by Cancer with their aforementioned Moon in Pisces in their 7H. The native’s Pluto is in their 11H and is in a fairly tight trine with their Moon. These connections between the 7H and 11H, to me, further support the native engaging with a relationship structure that involves more than one person, like consensual polyamory or nonconsensual adultery. For children, looking to the native’s 5H ruled by Capricorn, with their Saturn retrograde in their 3H ruled by Scorpio. Again, I’m not exactly sure how to incorporate the planet being retrograde, but I would think that this placement otherwise signifies the native having kids later in life or perhaps encountering obstacles in their fertility but ultimately being successful.
3. For career, looking to the native’s 10H containing their MC ruled by Gemini, with their aforementioned Mercury in Aries. The combination of Aries and Gemini seems very “kinesthetic communication” to me, so I might guess that they were involved in something like acting, stand-up, wrestling, etc. With their 10H/MC ruler in the 8H, I would again guess that something about their work was tied with death, as either a tangible or conceptual theme, or the resources of others, like something that they inherited. Perhaps their career and notoriety was even in the shadow of a parent’s.
4. With so many of their placements concentrated in the right side of their chart, specifically their 6H, 7H, and 8H, I would think that a main theme of their life was in their direct relationships- employees, romantic interests, and parents. (That feels really general, like those are big themes in pretty much everyone’s lives, but their life and notoriety were somehow centered on these.)
5. I’m not sure how to read for cause of death in the chart (somewhat intentionally, I don’t know if I’d do well with that kind of information) but at a glance, I could see the native’s Mars placement in the 6H manifesting as a sudden illness or surgery when activated by a transit, progression, or profection.
