Bailey McKnight-Howard:

As the heart of the solar system and the gravitational center of the travels of the earth and the other planets, the sun is the primordial light, the source of all warmth and life. From the dawn of humanity, it has been worshipped. It has symbolized the absolute power kings and despots yearn for and emulate. The sun king, the nucleus of society, embodied a principle of cohesion and harmony. Various subordinates—aka planets—revolved around it. In terms of psychological symbolism, the sun corresponds to the center of an individual, the factor that rules your psyche. Its luminous aspects are usually associated with knowledge and consciousness. As a creator of life, it is related to the image of the mother and the influence of motherhood on an individual’s consciousness and ideals. As a result, the sun’s position in a birth chart always indicates the way in which an individual will relate to your goals and ideals, what your ambitions and aspirations might involve.

A person whose chart is strongly “solar” usually identifies very positively with motherhood. Your personality is friendly, energetic, and creative, with high ideals and a firm determination to accomplish them. You take your own superiority and authority over others for granted, and you have a natural ability to command the attention and admiration of an audience. You are a born leader who enjoys being in the limelight and may behave somewhat theatrically or with dramatic exaggeration. You have definite artistic leanings. The sense of your ideals is evident to you and may lead you to be somewhat self-focused. If ill-directed, your deep aspirations may lead to such faults as egotism, selfishness, or greediness for power.

According to Greek myth, Mercury (or Hermes, whose name derives etymologically from the piles of rocks which marked trails and guided travelers) was the messenger of the gods. He carried orders from Olympus to the mortals on Earth. The child of the illegitimate union of Zeus with Maia, Mercury was born “unknown to the immortal gods” and had to win his place among them by trickery, cleverness, and cunning. This is why he became the vagabond deity of travelers and wanderers. He is the instinctive foe of the settled who see him as an outcast roaming on the outskirts of society: a pariah, a thief, and a swindler. As ruler of the sign of Gemini, the Twins, he symbolizes the brother—the alter-ego who teaches us as much as we teach him and is associated with adolescence, a period of intense intellectual discovery. Mercury thus symbolizes lively, sparkling wit, mobility in any form, mental exchange, and interaction. As a result, a person strongly ruled by Mercury is quite likely to be clever and skillful. If Mercury is “afflicted” in one’s chart, their intellectual velocity may sometimes become mere mental hyperactivity. In any case, these skills are a great resource in the social realm. You communicate easily and effectively, orally or in writing. Your ability to unite and transmit would be a good resource in diplomatic or commercial endeavors.

Bailey McKnight-Howard felt her heart quicken as she saw the imposing figure walking towards her. She had never been so grateful for her martial arts training as she was now, as she quickly assessed her options. She could run, but that would only put her further away from the man and give him time to catch up. She could fight him, but she had no certainty of winning. Her only hope was to escape.

As she made to turn, the man reached out and grabbed her arm, spinning her around to face him. Bailey felt her breath hitch as she saw the anger in his eyes.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” he growled.

“I–I wasn’t doing anything,” Bailey stammered, trying to pull away from him.

“You were following me,” the man said, his voice low and angry. “Who the hell are you?”

“I-I don’t know,” Bailey replied, trying to pull away from him. “I just wanted to talk to you.”

“Talk to me about what?” the man asked, his voice dropping even lower.

“I don’t know!” Bailey shouted, struggling against the man’s grip. “Just let me go!”

“I won’t let you go until you tell me who you are,” the man said, his voice cold and ruthless.

“I-I don’t know!” Bailey cried, trying to break free. “Please, just let me go!”

“If you don’t tell me who you are right now, I’m going to hurt you,” the man warned her.

“I-I don’t know!” Bailey shouted, tears streaming down her face. “Please, just let me go!”

“Bailey McKnight-Howard,” the man said, his voice cold and ruthless. “What the hell are you doing following me?”

The twelfth house is an area of the sky which is especially important in your theme, because it contains several planets, including the one which rules your rising sign. In general, this means that the twelfth house is associated with your personal goals and ambitions, as well as your relationships with others.

According to tradition, this sector of the astrological chart is related to hardships and disease. More specifically, this area of the sky map is associated with the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces, or the Fishes. It symbolizes the epilogue of your various experiences. This is where the failures you encountered as you were going about your evolution may have accumulated; in certain extreme cases, they may have an impact on your health or well-being. This sector should thus be associated with your need to confront your own past, assume the errors you may have made, and accept your flaws. If you hope to improve your performance, you must confront your past, understand and analyze it.

The ninth house is an area of the sky which is especially important to Bailey McKnight-Howard. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.
