Fire is the test of gold; adversity, and strength.
Seneca
In this question the querent (person asking the question)
asked, "Will I pass my finals and graduate from college?" on June 20, 2003 at 12:21 pm
(-3) in Tel Aviv, Israel, 32 N 04 34 E 46. Normally I use the time I received and
understand the question, but in this case my client was quite sophisticated about astrology
and we used the time of asking.
In this chart 24 degrees of Virgo rise and Mars is the hour
ruler. As Mars is the mixed ruler of the earthy triplicity the chart is radical and
has initial indications of accuracy.
As Virgo rises, the ruler of the Ascendant and significator
of the querent (person asking the question) is Mercury. Mercury is dignified by
sign and thus strong in the 9th house.
The Moon is peregrine in the cadent sixth house. The Moon
separates from a square of Mercury and Venus and applies to a square of the Sun.
The ruler of the 9th of higher education is Venus.
Venus therefore signifies the college and the test. Venus is in the 9th of higher
education.
Mercury, significator of the querent applies to a
partile (almost exact) conjunction of Venus, significator
of the college and test, in the 9th house of
higher education. Venus is in the sign of Mercury, a sign of capture in battle questions.
These are all positive indications. When we consider also the strength of Mercury it
is clear that the querent will indeed pass their final exams and graduate.
Results
The querent passed all exams and graduated from college,
doing even better than expected!
