Yes, true. It might help assess its condition but it's unlikely the hemisphere will differ from that of the Sun in many cases as well. Like you say, it's probably not making a big practical difference to chart interpretation, but still interesting to think about

But also, i think it is affected by whether it's an evening star or morning star, ie whether it rises before or after the Sun, which determines its sect and then maybe its preferred hemisphere

Is there something about Mercury having its joy in the 1H because (at least in WSH) it's the messenger between both? Related with its role as psychopomp as well, I guess

A small body of water reflects the mountains, white clouds and blue sky; surrounded by a landscape of yellows, oranges, greens and browns. There are some fir or spruce trees to the right behind it and mountains in the distance

Travelling north in Scotland over the Equinox, I'm seeing an increasingly rich tapestry of colours. And have been fortunate to have the Sun with me to bring it out! This is called a lochan (a small loch or lake) and it's located along the West Highland Way.

The Sun high in a blue sky, with some lens flare. There are fluffy white clouds and in the distance grey-green mountains. The foreground is green and wooded, with the beginning of Autumn browning.

A man with elf ears sitting on a bronze dragon with red eyes which is breathing fire. The setting is a green field in cloudy sunshine and there is a large tree in the background to the right.

I saw her once at Glastonbury, must have been nearly 20 years ago! I adore her. Scorpio Sun, moon and rising 🖤

The sun has just risen above the eastern horizon in a Scottish landscape. A body of water and some trees can be seen in the middle of the picture, with a green field in the foreground.

Living with intention means that every action, magickal or mundane, is a conscious choice with a purpose; nothing is random or thoughtless.
Intentionality requires a deep understanding of Self and a strong Will to follow through. Otherwise, intentions are reduced to thought without action.

TNG scene. Data, on ship, is standing in uniform with his head slightly cocked, like that thing a dog does if you say ball or walk or treat. Closed caption reads, "You mentioned your impending death, Grandpa."

Aries likes to be honest, all things being equal, esp. Aries Mercury and Mars

This is actually my current favourite too! Just got it recently as a gift from my wife. It has a lovely 'feel' to it, very intuitive, quite a warm and supportive vibe

The sun shines from behind clouds and casts rays, illuminating a sloped green hill. In the middle distance are some trees. To the bottom left is some water and behind this some more land.

It feels autumnal already in Scotland this week, especially after travelling back from SE England - but today the sun was just lovely

TBH I don't quite have my head around intercepted houses and what that does to the rulerships in these extreme cases. I'd be curious to know how you approach that integratively, or do you just use it as an overlay from a perspective of placements?

I've started doing this for similar reasons, and my own chart seems to be an interesting case study because of the contrast. I've been experimenting with Campanus, a time based system that even works in the poles. It gives two of my houses as 90°+ each, which is pretty mind-boggling. Others are 8°!

Barbara Walters' natal chart is A-rated and it's fascinating to see the synastry between her and Trump come alive in the short clip shared below!

First and foremost, I believe BW's Venus applying conjunct to Trump's Asc shows how effortlessly she engages with him and in fact, dominates him.

Interestingly Liz Greene takes a similar view, based on mythic interpretations - trickster energy. He plays tricks on his brother Apollo within a short time of being born, and ends up making him a musical instrument out of a tortoise (inventing the harp) to compensate when Zeus tells them to make up

Also, I've enjoyed drawing. I have no training, but when I was tiny we had a 2nd hand PC my dad used to teach himself IT. I remember spending hours in MS Paint, just playing with shapes and colours. Sketching on my phone has really brought that back to me!
