Question
Which of the three girls whose data was given graduated with honors as
a Doctor of Medicine on May II, 1991?
Answer
GIRL TWO, born Sep. 16, 1954 at 9:50 a.m. CST in Kansas City, Kansas
(39N07 - 94W37'30) with all data from corroborated Birth Certificates.
Techniques Employed in Deductive Procedure
Traditional tropical geocentric plus heliocentric coordinates of the
planets were used within the same circle using Koch Houses, day-for-a-year
progressions on both the planets and angles (not solar arc) to the date of
graduation, along with transits for that day.
Heliocentric Planetary Influence
Heliocentric planetary influence is linked to our larger world
interactions, thus must be considered in any status or professional
matter, such as found in this contest. (I take full credit for this
original conclusion because it rose directly from my decades of research
using the methods outlined in the prior paragraph.)
Correct Deductions
Correct deductions require certain factors being emphasized appropriate
to the case, and the following lists some pertinent points in GIRL TWO'S
horoscope.
- The Sun for personal notice and because it rules her Leo Midheaven;
Here we find the progressed MC conjunct her natal Virgo Sun in the
sign of service and health.
- Planets in Capricorn, the natural sign ruler of the MC can either
substitute or add further enhancement to the significators: Here we
find the Prog. MC simultaneously conjunct Sun and trine Chiron in
Capricorn/3rd house (and inconjunct helio Mars/4th). She underwent
critical testing of her knowledge, and also had to move a good
distance to perform her residence requirements as a new doctor at a
new hospital.
- Geo Venus for a sense of personal satisfaction; Here we find natal
geo Venus smack dab on her Ascendant denoting much luck as people
would find her aura pleasant, giving her the benefit of any doubt. The
prog. MC is semi-square this Venus indicating a final great push to
success in achieving her goal. Progressed geo Venus has moved to a
conjunction with helio Mercury in Sagittarius/lst house signifying a
happy mental process.
- Heliocentric Venus for worldly rewards and status in the larger
world, as well as signifying ceremonial occasions where appropriate.
Here we find a dynamic pattern for such success through seeing prog.
helio Venus in a tight trine to the natal Midheaven. This same Venus
simultaneously is semi-sextile the exalted Taurus Moon/7th house, all
significant in getting her medical license, better living conditions
with a move, and meeting a young man of status she later married.
Natal 4th house helio Venus indicates a grand home and assistance from
the family background, especially the father.
- Mercury and the 3rd house showing mental interests and abilities,
with tests of her knowledge of vital significancer Here we find natal
helio Mercury in the natural 9th house sign of Sagittarius in the 1st
which gives an aggressiveness in pursuit of knowledge. Her final tests
coincided with prog. helio Mercury trine its natal position and she
passed with honors. Geo Mercury in Libra/12th seeks a balanced and
fair approach to the tribulations of the world.
- Jupiter for luck and expansion, but also for clues that she could
fulfill the high educational requirements to become a medical doctor;
Here we find Jupiter in its own natural 9th house in its sign of
exaltation. Cancer, (like a Jupiter-Moon conjunction), with Jupiter
tightly sextile the natal Sun so simultaneously aspected by the
progressed Midheaven. With Jupiter ruling her 2nd house of income, the
aspect signified earning money as a resident intern doctor after the
long session of spending money for learning,
- Transit Jupiter can be a trigger planetary position signifying
success in those matters it implicates; Here we find transit helio
Jupiter conjunct the Midheaven with geo Jupiter behind holding a
square to natal Saturn.
- The culmination of the progressed Moon over the natal Sun and
progressed Midheaven, reinforcing all the linkages being formed, timed
her move to a new home, changed working conditions, the official entry
into her new profession, and leaving old friends behind to make new
friends. This was two months after graduation with time for a vacation
between.
- The progressed Ascendant 70 Sagittarius is leaving an aspect to her
12th house Saturn, prompting her remark she was "tired of being
treated like dirt," and is moving into a semi-sesqui-square link
with her Cardinal T-Cross involving Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune, and
Chiton. This activated a variety of 'relationship* issues of
considerable complexity, all showing up in her life.
- The natal and progressed Midheaven are associated with status,
reputation, and profession in the larger world of heliocentric, and
the mother in the more personal world of geocentric coordinates. As
the progressed Midheaven moved on to aspect the 10th house Pluto,
simultaneously drawing in Uranus, ruling the 4th and father. Girl Two
'experienced the passing of her mother. Less than five months later,
her father shocked (Uranus) the family by marrying his high school
sweetheart he had not seen in 50 years. Girl Two had never even heard
of the woman.
Note: Studying the larger picture of our solar system
through including heliocentric, then testing the concept in various ways,
I concluded that BOTH planet Earth AND its single Moon are 'ruled' by the
sign of Cancer. (To my knowledge, this is an entirely original observation
and conclusion which rose directly from my research and was first
published in Mercury Hour some years ago.)
Summary
Ten especially pertinent astrological reasons are given for making a
deduction, with more points which could be mentioned. It should be
remembered that becoming a medical doctor today requires being persistent
in the goal, access to large amounts of money, acceptance of monumental
responsibilities, a good mind for balancing complex issues, a good memory
and mind for details, and extraordinary luck.
Girl One, with Venus-Mars in Leo and Sun-square-Jupiter, spends nearly
every cent on playing games and on entertainment. She is a first cousin to
Girl Two.
Girl Three, with a 1st house helio Venus in Sagittarius, eventually
achieved her Master's Degree in mathematics after overcoming enormous
obstacles, and now teaches in a college.
