Aster Master

Why I made In The Heart and what it's for

Around when I first got into Astrology there was a chart that I encountered that more or less sealed my fate as an astrologer. This chart was interesting. right off the bat, but I didn't realize just how interesting it was. The more I talked to the owner, the more I realized our lives were eerily similar in a way that wasn't normal. Now, I'm not exactly a normal guy, and I wasn't exactly going through normal circumstances at the time. But seemingly for every core memory I had she had one that mirrored it. The premise was the same, but the outcome was different. This chart taught me rulership. It taught me how things indirectly reflect one another. It taught me how two things can appear completely different on the surface, but actually be deeply similar. This chart was probably the first chart since becoming invested in the topic where someone from my general friend group had taken interest in having their chart read, and it was this chart that convinced me that on some level some form of god exists, or that there is, at the very least, some kind of invisible guiding force that had some kind of sense of humor and decided to mess with me. This one interaction would more or less define how I look at charts as a series of similarities, whether it be through predictive measures or synastry. You can often find that two people who have some form of interest in one another share some similarities in the chart even if they never aspect by degree. For instance: Let's say that Venus is in Leo in the 7th house, Sun is in 6th house Cancer, Mars is in 9th house Libra, Moon in 11th house Sagittarius. Compare this to 12th house Sun in Taurus, 11th house Aries Venus, 3rd house Leo Mars in opposition to 9th house moon. This specific combo generates similar effects even if the signs are different because the houses involved are similar, the energy is similar, and the conditions are similar. The Sun and Venus have a connection by rulership, where the ruler does not support it. The Sun's sign is in aversion to the ascendant as well as to it's own ruler. Mars is in a Venus ruled sign compared to Venus in a Mars ruled sign, In both cases social houses are activated, the 3rd and 11th vs the 7th and 11th. In both charts the ruler of Venus is in the sign of the in sect luminary. The list goes on, to be honest. These similarities generated common events for romance and for interests, but clear differences in personality and outcomes. Similarly you can find these things in more simple configurations. For instance, Venus having involvement with either Mars or Mercury, especially by conjunction or rulership, drastically increases the chances of cheating occurring in the native's relationships. Ask someone with this configuration about it some time and they're likely to have a story of it.
