border:it's a menger square rendered in xenodream...yeah both the eye of Horus and the patch on his forehead are my models...and all the planet and sign glyphs are designed from scratch as well...

hmm?..I guess merely seeing signs and planets make people think this is an "assertion" for astrology...but I don't really think of it that way...

It is more an interesting metallurgical arrangement...the "lead" and most dense at the bottom..."most accreted"...paired with the winter solstice signs Capricorn and Aquarius...which are Saturn ruled....Followed by "tin"..."iron".."copper"..."antinomy"..."silver"...and "gold"

also there is the suggestion of an energy flow that involves a "seed flame" in a cup...the solar disc views this same from the top...and the symbology shows both Hindu,Hebrew,Arabic and Hermetic ways of viewing this same process...The transmutation of "lead" to "gold" was all the concern of alchemy...and obcourse this has a metaphorical level very applicable to the individual soul...

...If I'd have put some more time into it...I might have given it a more coppery sheen...

And as far as "getting around to an assertion for astrology".. ...I could with Thomas Jefferson say..."we hold these truths to be selfevident"......except then...the clutter of the tabloid daily sunsign readings...would terribly impair my assertion...but still,the real stuff-meaning an Asc.cusp and ten celestial bodies plotted around a 360 degree circle...with all aspecting (angles between these bodies)...paired with the correct interpretative materials...offers a concise snaphot of "an electromagnetic arrangement"...that is every bit as complex,and individuated as a fingerprint...
I do not do anyone's chart but my own...it is very personal...in fact-I have seen it throw "skeptics"(and you while you have refined discretions in my estimation,are very openminded)...into deep,deep identity crises...overturning "random conceptions of the universe they had hithertoo cherished...for that reason,I do not do them...and for another...that the "personal astrologer" relationship dynamic is all to often like the analyst/psychologist...and guru/disciple relationship...that is that it can all to often foster a "codependency" that in my opinion is almost always(rare,rare exceptions) unhealthy to the recipient...
In a few cases when I really encountered someone who was driven and had strong proclivities to do their own charts...I have shown them how...and all the necessary resources for deriving their own interpretations...personally I don't like studying anyone else's chart-as the level of detail is usually "embarrassing"...I have had many occasions witnessed people who have to integrate a whole new view...especially when coming to terms with how daily transits can from very wide levels and down to degrees of very mundane detail...that the planets aspecting in relation to one's natal chart...are constantly authoring our dharmas...or more accurately our free wills in relations to tons of varied ordeals and boon that are simply ordained...

Why do I write all this at you?...cause I know you don't mind,my friend...and that in the least you'll find it interesting...and won't judge it with levity...
