In
our previous step we considered the relative strengths of a Friday, April 27,
2001 evening wedding for Kate and Malcolm. In this step we'll look at charts
for Saturday, April 28th, before 2:53 p.m. (when the Moon goes void of course).
We know our Saturday wedding will
need to take place before 2:53 in the afternoon. Common sense tells us a
ceremony that takes place as close as possible to 2:53 p.m. will end late enough
that, with a little creative stalling, a nice early evening reception can take
place. Since we run the chart for the moment the couple says "I Do", let's
run the chart for 2:45 p.m. to see how that might look:
I
was feeling pretty good about this chart -- Sun in the cheery 9th house, Jupiter
elevated, Venus in the 7th house -- until I got down to the bottom and saw (aaaarrrgggghhhh!)
Pluto and Mars in the 4th house!! No can do; the 4th house is too important
as the descriptor of all that is cozy and domestic in a marriage to put those
particular landmines in there. Back to the drawing board.
Backing
up to 12:39 pm, Pluto and Mars are both out of the 4th house. In fact, it's
a pretty nice chart...except for Uranus, the Great Disruptor, in the house of
marital accord. Let's
try again. > >
