I'm testing a hypothesis about people's views of the world reflecting their chart patterns. If you would like to help, please answer the following questions:
1. Is what happens to you dependent on what you do? Or is it dependent on circumstance? Edit: If you would say both, please elaborate. Do you feel your choices and actions are mostly a result of, or reaction to, what happens to you? Or do you feel that what happens to you is primarily the result of your choices and actions? If you would again say both, please give an example. The kind of examples people give, and how they word them, says something about their thought process.
2. Do you feel it's important to mark life passages and events in a way that others will see and recognize? Or do you not care about recognition, just about what the event means to you?
Examples: You're graduating from high school or university. Do you feel it's important to participate in the ceremony, or are you just as happy to receive your diploma in the mail and not walk across stage?
You're getting married. Is it important to you to have a ceremony and party with your family and friends (the ceremony can be traditional or not, whichever you prefer; the party can be as simple or as elaborate as you want)? Or would you be just as happy to have a quiet, private ceremony to make it legal and no party?
A good friend of yours dies, and while you were close with them, you didn't know their family or many of their other friends very well. Do you feel you need to be at their funeral, and will you feel something's missing if you can't go? Or is this a case of, you'll always mourn for them, you don't need the trappings?
There are no right or wrong answers to these questions. The hypothesis I'm testing is that how people answer these questions depends on the hemisphere dominance in their charts: north or south, east or west.
To test the hypothesis, once you've answered the questions, please either post your chart or say which hemispheres have a stronger planetary presence. Do you have more planets in the eastern hemisphere, between houses 10 and 3, or the western hemisphere, between houses 4 and 9? Do you have more planets above the horizon, between houses 7 and 12, or below, between houses 1 and 6? Sun and moon carry extra weight, so if they're both in the same hemisphere, they give that hemisphere some extra points.
Supposedly, people with more planets between houses 10 and 3 view their fate as in their hands, while people with houses 4 through 9 highlighted are more likely to see themselves as being at the mercy of what happens to them. People with upper hemisphere dominance tend to need recognition for life's passages--they're the ones who feel the need to participate in their graduation ceremony, to have a real wedding, or to attend a loved one's funeral--while those with lower hemisphere dominance don't care much about the trappings, just about how they themselves have the experience. But, is that true for all of us?
