Thank you, Soulscape, for this analysis. Of course, we aren't one bit surprised there were no squirrels plastered on her car.
In reference to your comment about Mercury being "in lying Gemini", should I, with a four planet Gemini stellium take offense to that? Or, should I keep my mouth shut from now on? :sheesh: Please explain your comment. In general, of all the liars I've known, the vast majority have been Scorpio and Pisces (or rising signs or Mercury in those signs, too).
Really, I'm NOT insulted, just asking because of my own experience and need to know, astrologically, of course. :detective:

Also, on the chart I did following your data, I see Mercury squaring Uranus. Which location did you use for your chart? Have I done something wrong? I do have the same Ascendant you listed.
I'm confused. (no surprise)
Hi Aksleuth,
You are comparing apples and oranges. Horary astrology is approached way differently than natal astrology. I would never look at a person’s natal chart and judge them to be a liar just because they had heavy Gemini. (Actually ALL signs can lie, and they do that in different ways!)
Horary is approached quite differently. Unlike natal astrology, horary is judgmental, negativistic and very black & white.
In horary, Mercury, among other things, symbolizes liars, tricksters, thieves. Gemini is a double-bodied (dual) sign that is known for its restlessness and ambidexterity – including mental ambidexterity, or talking out of both sides of the mouth. In short, Mercury in Gemini lies.
Here is what Master Horary Astrologer William Lilly said about Mercury as significator, predicting how someone would likely act when Mercury is unfortunate by position (in a bad house such as the 4th, 6th, 8th or 12th), weak and/or afflicted (example: opposite Neptune, square Uranus, etc.). In such cases, Mercury predicts:
Unconstant people, malicious, turbulent, envious, perfidious, lyars, to purpose if Mercury be with South Node, or in Square or Opposition of Moon or Mars, and in airy signs, deceitful, inventing destructive plots and machinations, infamous, meddling with everybody and every matter, asses, dolts, prattling dotards, stammering coxcombs, good for nothing, etc. (William Lilly, Christian Astrology III, page 541)
Regarding your question about the Mercury-Uranus square:
Mercury is in
wide square to Uranus In the Dead Animal Plastered chart. I choose to use tighter rather than wider orbs on squares and so did not peg this as a square. Additionally, in this chart Uranus (squirrels) is in mutual reception with Neptune (lies, illusions).
Mars (the car) is in the 12th House of Secrets, Misfortune, Sorrow & Woe opposite Neptune (lies, deception) in the 6th House of small animals (squirrels).
Squirrels (Uranus) in the car (Mars) is a deception (Neptune; Neptune & Uranus in Mutual Reception).
Thanks,
Soulscape
