I feel somewhat foolish for creating this horary chart, but I am extremely concerned as to how my English Composition professor will regard the writing sample he had each of his students submit today; this document is the first impression he will have of us, and I do not believe that it is an exaggeration to suggest that it will set the tone for the semester.
I am not so much concerned about my writing ability as I am about his particular style and preference for writing; if his lectures are any indication of his values in this regard, I fear that I will fail my first assignment.
Strangely enough, my favored style of writing does not quite show itself here because the topic of astrology does not lend itself to towards imagination and fantasy, although if someone asked me to wax poetic about the art and science I probably could produce a beautiful document with little concrete substance based mostly on fleeting impressions. In astrological terms, I can only describe this writing as Venusian or Neptunian.
Now imagine my professor being of a Mercurial or Saturnian nature, perhaps with a little unexpected Uranus thrown in to keep his students awake during long lectures, and you have an idea of the conflict I fear may develop. It is possible that I am imagining fears just as I imagine scenarios to write about, yet today's lecture was almost entirely about clarity in thought and in writing, and my face paled immediately. It is not that I believe I am incapable of such expression, but it goes against my very nature of expression, and I fear that I will lose much of my creative spark in the ensuing battle between logic and reason and creative expression, or worse, be rendered incapable of writing anything at all.
I have been thinking of this question for much of yesterday and today, but it was not until I was attempting to sleep last night did I realize I should form a horary question, to distract my mind if nothing else. Unfortunately, I cannot post the chart right now because I am at school and feel uncomfortable doing so, and I don't want to provide all of the data, but perhaps I'll ask a few basic questions.
How would one go about interpreting such a chart?
Would I compare my significator to that of my professor?
What planet would be his significator--the ruler of the ninth house of higher education?
Would the writing document I produced have a different significator than me--perhaps the ruler of the third house?
What do I do if none of the traditional planets make Ptolemic aspects with a 50% Astrodienst orb reduction to other traditional planets? Can I use nontraditional planets to interpret a horary chart in this instance?
Unfortunately, I'm none to familiar with relationship horaries in which an individual asks how they are perceived by another individual, but I assume this horary would follow a similar format--except although I care how I am perceived by my professor, I mostly care about how my writing will be perceived from him. I'm actually contemplating using different significators in this case because I feel that I present a much different "vibe" as a student than I do as a writer.
In case anyone is curious, I am signified by Venus in Capricorn in the third house in this chart, which I believe beautifully symbolizes my dilemma--Venus undoubtedly feels some discomfort in the sign of Saturn because she must change her inherent nature. This conflict is in the third house, which I also believe is appropriate firstly because I regard the third house as having a relationship with writing, and secondly, because I commute to college (the third house rules short distances). Due to this distinction, should I possibly use the third house to signify college or my professor rather than the ninth house? Yet this is still higher education despite the close distance...
I apologize for rambling on here; I will post the chart in about two hours or so.
Thank you in advance for any assistance

P.S. I don't know if this is significant, but the Moon is in its detriment in Capricorn, which worries me somewhat. If I remember correctly, Venus is separating from a conjunction with Jupiter and applying towards a conjunction with the Moon.
