Mystery Chart 1st Run — Person 4

A ground breaker ahead of her time — this is the cold reading and analysis of an anonymous person’s birth chart.

Introduction

Welcome to my weekly published mystery chart run!

Each week I take my shot at completing 2–5 mystery charts in the fascinating realm of astrology. All I am given is a birthday, birth time, and birth location, with the individual’s name hidden. Using modern-day astrology software, I generate and unveil a completely new birth chart.

I then take a deep dive into the chart, doing a full analysis of everything I see, without any prior knowledge of the individual. Major aspect patterns, stelliums, retrogrades, angular houses, decan degrees, mutual receptions, and essential dignities are some of the things I look out for. Through this process, I discern three major themes that shape this person’s life, and use my analysis to back up my case, like a lawyer. I look out for what restricts and limits them, as well as what gives them abundance and joy. By understanding what motivates them intrisically, I uncover both their vulnerabilities and their strengths. I find out what makes them cry, and what makes them fly.

Then I get the name reveal at the end of the reading (my assistant insists on always giving a shocking revelation) and I get to see how I fared as I compare notes on their fact-based Wikipedia page and my own analysis. I publish them here so I can share the process.

If this were a real client, I’d probe and lead them to where they need to go. Practicing good bedside manners like a doctor, I’ll have to ask the right questions. More often than not, I’d hold space as I extend empathy as I watch them break down and cry as I address early childhood conditioning. I then leave them with a better frame of mind.

My name is Lilac and I’m a (student) Western Hellenistic astrologer on the Tropical Whole Sign system.

The purpose of doing mystery charts is really to become a better astrologer. I treat these like my practice runs. At the end of my 1000 charts, I hope to go professional.

Let’s begin!
