This week we are covering in more detail the chart you can make for the date/time that someone contacts you with a query. This can be for anything, it doesn't have to be a consultation. Asc Libra =polite Ruling Planet= Venus in 10th-career Grand Trine shape so good flowing energies for the main 'issue'. Moon conjunct Uranus in Taurus in the 7th= emotionally wobbly Aries is there too so there is some anger. Sun in the 11th in Virgo= health Mercury in Libra in 12th= not wanting to 'talk' about the 'issue' in the first email, but being polite about that Venus (in Leo) conjunct MC in Cancer= family sign Pluto/Saturn conjunction in 4th= family issues Neptune opposition Sun = confusion Venus opposition Pluto= love/power struggles North Node in Gemini in 9th no specific interpretation other than part of the question was to do with 'life-purpose' and interestingly also was exactly conjunct the querant's family member (which I didn't know until after the consultation)  Jupiter in 3rd=belief in communication
