Hi,
I need help with this chart.
Will I buy the diamond ring?
Why I ask this question? I have been wishing to buy a diamond ring but the problem is the model I like are from abroad. I found a merchant locally but every time I choose a specific diamond it gets sold off by the time I finish customising.
Then I leave it for later.
Please note I am a beginner, so to take my readings with a grain of salt
For this Horary I looked at 3 main houses:
L1, L7 - the person who you are going to possibly purchase the ring from (the merchant), and 2nd from 7th (radix-8) for the ring - this is because the ring is not yours, but it belongs to the merchant you wish to purchase it from (hence the possessions of the Merchant).
L1 is Mars, L7 is Venus, L8 is Mercury
First, we find Venus on the ascendant - to me this shows that the Merchant is extremely willing to sell to you, and even though it is in the sign of detriment, L7 will always be in detriment of L1 so it is not so important in this case - there will be no problems for this Merchant to sell the ring to you.
Secondly, we find Mars as the weakest planet - detriment and peregrine - the ascendant lord is completely out of dignity, and filled with essential debility, and even combust - there is nothing good that is going to come from this matter. You also have no relation to the ring (Mercury) whatsoever - you are in the same house, but Mars does not want the ring. Mars is currently being consumed by the Sun, so the Sun is the most pressing matter.
Mercury, the ring itself, is in a fine position - it has dignity by Term, so it is an at least decent object - it is also near Spica, providing further evidence that the ring itself is good.
This is a chart that I believe can be solved without aspects - You won't buy the diamond ring simply because it is not your primary concern. nor do you truly want this ring - Mars has no indication of liking or receiving Mercury (the ring), and is consumed by whatever matters are represented by the Sun (the sun rules no houses in this chart so it is beyond my ability to figure that out), Mars is also too weak to act - it is in a succulent house (11th) of moderate strength, but has nearly every essential debility possible - interesting to note that Mars is just past the house cusp of the 11th - even more symbolic of you being powerless to act (the 10th house is generally considered to be the most powerful house, so being just past it means the Mars just lost what little power it had in the 10th, so it is even weaker now)
Final Answer: You will not purchase the ring.
Please, let me know the outcome and give feedback
