I cast this chart last August for a friend about a promotion. (August 10, 2022. Hong Kong. 10:04 am.)

I told the querent then the matter was very promising.

I just heard from him today. He was promoted to the position he asked me about.

I practice a rule: if the Moon's next aspect is good, the outcome will be, too. It doesn't matter what houses those planets rule although they would most likely be relevant.

"Good" means dignified planet in trine, or conjunction, or sextile with strong reception. If either planets is damaged or the aspect is hard, there has to be strong reception by domicile, exaltation or term plus face.

This chart seems to support my practice.

Another good testimony is that the querent is right on the MC.

If one placed houses above the Moon's testimony, this chart would not have been positive. The Moon that rules the MC (the job) goes to the Mars. And this Mars does not rule the ascendant. It rules the querent's enemies (the 7th house).

But the querent did get the job in the end.

I just honestly didn't see that he had to wait this long! Perhaps Mars being in detriment and a weak house mattered.

I am aware of the saying that "a chart speaks to its astrologer", first and foremost. I hope I am not missing anything in saying that this chart seems to support my practice.

Cheers.
