Hey!
We can derive professional trends from a birth chart.
Like scorpio tendencies in a surgeons's or seventh house tendencies in a lawyer's.
So, do you think that the tendencies to be a member of parliament (or similar areas)in the national parliament may appear on the birth chart? and with what placements?
I'm curious about this and I'm researching charts.
What settlements would you look for legislative reprentative?
Several years ago I did a study on over 350 "Heads of State" - Presidents, Legislators, politicians. These were all Rodden Rated AA charts with no close sign on the ASC or MC. Here are the top placements people had in my study and a reason why I thought these were the top placements at the time I did the study (I may think differently now). Mind you, all the signs and houses had planetary placements, as always with this kind of study. The sign or house placements are in order of the most charts - (a) has the most charts, (b) the next most, etc. but often the ones following a are tied or a and b are tied - the numbers were close enough that I had to include them in "top" category. I used the Placidus house system and there were people in several countries in the study, but more from the USA. I did not list top signs of the transpersonal planets because they are generational. I did list their houses. It's my experience in doing large scale studies, that another study with different charts will reproduce similar trends but not in all placements, just most of them. The top sign could move to second top and third top could become the top and a new sign could emerge as more significant.
