Natal Chart

Only a ‘noon’ chart to work with as we have no known birth-time. But as always, Rudhyar offers pointers to gaining some basic insights into the individual’s character and destiny. These include (1) the Lunation Type, and (2) the Sabian Symbol for the natal Sun.

• ‘Gibbous’ Lunation type … 

“They desire to contribute value and meaning to their society, their culture, or in general to ‘life’. They ask repeatedly ‘Why?’; they work toward a clarification of personal or social-cultural issues, with some kind of – to them – important goal in view.” [Dane Rudhyar, ‘The Lunation Cycle’, 1971, p.52]

• With the midday Sun at 22°05’ Taurus …

Well, we probably shouldn’t speculate on a single degree symbol here as this could easily fall to either Taurus 22° or 23°. We have no way of knowing which. About all we can do is look to the five-stage sequence in which the natal Sun falls i.e Taurus 21° to Taurus 25°. This hints of a life that begins with “a state of subservience to collective values” (Taurus 21°] and – at best – ends with “a feeling of belonging to a large, organised, peaceful whole.” (Taurus 25°) [Dane Rudhyar, ‘An Astrological Mandala’, 1974, pp.83-86].

That’s about all I’d dare venture with a ‘noon’ chart at this point. There’s no doubt more information we could add based on given Signs and degree symbols for the planets and perhaps lunar nodes … but to be honest I’m not all that confident about doing so for fear of over-complicating the reasonably ‘tight’ precis we get from the Lunation Type and Sun symbol alone. By all means though, if you feel can add something, please do so! My own words here are really little more than ‘conversation starters’. 

OK, so, does Mrs Lam’s biography confirm or contradict the two broad themes described by the Lunation Type and Sun Symbol? Discounting Hong Kongs’ present strife (which is likely an issue belonging to Mrs Lam’s progressed charts), it seems to me a biography that at least doesn’t contradict those natal portents. Have a look for yourself if you like and see if you think Rudhyar’s on track or not with this broad over-view of Mrs Lam’s character and destiny … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Lam

One thing in her biography did puzzle me though, this factoid … 

“During her tenure, she earned the nickname ‘tough fighter’ …” 

I can see this in her face (the photo), but I just don’t see it anywhere in the birth-chart ?? Can you ? Perhaps it’s something that experience was destined to draw out of her ? If so, once again it may prove the progressed charts that reveal when and why this streak emerges. 

I’ll present these progressed charts (called ‘Lunation Charts’) one-a-day over the next few pages (so as not to overload y’all with a mass of text in a single post). How’s that sound to you ?
