feminine sign rather than a masculine which means that Mars by itself would be quite
destructive if it did not have these mitigating features going for it.
Interestingly, one of the big changes in the whole sign chart is that the Venus goes
from being in the 8 th to the 9 th . I don’t think an 8 th house Venus is particularly appropriate
for being into music, but the 9 th house Venus is—particularly one that is being received
by a 9 th house Mercury. What I do know about you is much more consistent with the
whole sign houses. Mercury is 9 th house either way. It’s in Gemini so Mercury is quite
happy. That improves the condition of everything in Gemini and Virgo. So that helps the
Saturn in Virgo a bit but it does a really good job on the Venus. Moon is Aquarius is 5 th
house in whole sign as opposed to 4 th house in mundane. Since you also compose music,
that’s much more consistent with a 5 th house placement of the Moon trining Venus than it
is the 4 th house placement. Just in general, we go from a 4 th house/8 th house trine to a 5 th
house/9 th house trine which is vastly more appropriate for doing music. Now we have a
1 st house Mars trine a 9 th house Venus trine a 5 th house Moon. Does that not seem a little
more appropriate? [Bill: “Yep, especially with Neptune in the 1 st also.”]
I do think that we’re going to discover that there is a difference between risen 1 st
house planets and unrisen 1 st house planets. I think there’s going to be a difference in
quality. But I think there is a major difference between a 12 house/1 st sign planet a 12 th
house/12 th sign planet. [Bill has the former situation with Mars since in the normal,
modern mundane Placidus chart, Mars in Libra is in the 12 th house with the Libra
Ascendant following in a later degree, but in a whole sign house placement, Mars would
now be a 1 st house placement] I don’t think the 12 th house/1 st sign planet is anywhere as
self-destructive. I think they become much more totally identified with the person’s chart.
You don’t seem to have any uncertainty about how your Mars works, where I would
contend that a with a truly 12 th house Mars you would probably not even notice you have
a strong Mars—but everybody else would! Whereas your Saturn [now in the whole sign
Virgo 12 th house instead of the mundane modern 11 th house] other people around you
probably are more aware of it than you are. But you are aware of it from the research
point of view.
Now if we go to the Lot of Fortune [Bill’s Lot of Fortune is 18 Taurus 06 based
on the day birth formula of Ascendant + Moon – Sun] the 8 th sign from the Libra
Ascendant. The house placement of the Lot of Fortune isn’t terribly important as the
house system it in fact sets up. Then we have the Moon in Aquarius in the 10 th sign of the
Taurus rising Fortune houses, so that means that the Moon does in fact have something to
do with career or life purpose. Moon in the 10 th trining the Venus. One of the things I was
having a little bit trouble with is you’ve got a number of earmarks of having a lot of
money—which I gather you don’t. [Bill: “No, I make enough money with the Post
Office.”] Well, giving you the conclusion, then I will give you the reason why I came to
the conclusion that it had to be this way. You will never lack for money. You will always
have what you need. And you can fairly and safely rely on that because you have Jupiter
in Pisces in the house of acquisition. That’s a dignified benefic in the 11 th sign from the
Lot of Fortune. You’ve got Venus in Gemini the 2 nd sign from the Lot of Fortune [in
Taurus] ruling the Lot of Fortune. Venus is nicely aspected. It receives things. It is
received. So Venus is strong. So the question I asked myself: So why aren’t you wealthy?
And I came to the following conclusion: Mars in detriment is the ruler of the whole sign
2 nd sign and house in Scorpio. It is in the 1 st and it squares the Sun-Uranus conjunction in
