Astrology

I let an astrologer read my chart blind. I took notes.

Theo (saturn_returns) offered to read my chart knowing nothing but my birth date, time and place. Being who I am, I recorded it and scored every claim afterward: hit, miss, or too vague to count.

Results: a lot of vague. A couple of clear misses (I am not 'secretly theatrical'). A handful of hits I'd expect from anyone who has met an engineer.

And one I can't shake. He said my Moon in the 4th house suggests I show love by fixing things for family. Last winter I spent forty hours restoring my farmor's broken mantel clock. I've never mentioned that here.

It doesn't prove anything. One data point is an anecdote. But I went home and wound the clock, and it felt like more than maintenance.

    For the record, 'secretly theatrical' was your Leo rising and I stand by it. Thank you for being such a gracious test subject.

    Winding a grandmother's clock sounds like prayer to me, whatever we decide to call it.

    One data point is an anecdote, sure. But it's YOUR anecdote. I love that you wound the clock.

    Restoring a clock so it keeps time again feels very moon-ish to me. Rhythm, return, the same thing coming back around.
