The Client’s Story An artist was concerned that her close-knit, creative community believed she had a spacious studio only because the artist who had donated it to her was now her romantic partner. The artist valued having a dedicated workspace for her large-scale creations but worried that her peers no longer saw her as an independent creative. My client had been gifted the studio by a fellow artist when they were just good friends with a shared passion for art. She was also anxious about their blossoming romance. Despite being very happy with him, she feared he was still unduly influenced by his ex-girlfriend. Their relationship was over but they still lived together.
The Chart Judgement
SummaryJudgement
The chart shows that my client is on the verge of relaxing into her new identity as an independent artist who is also in a relationship with a fellow artist. He is about to finalise the ending with his ex so that both artists can be together which, as shown in the chart, is what they both very much want. I advised my client to continue waiting patiently as matters would soon turn out in her favour.
Full Judgement
My client’s creative life is core to her personal and professional identity. The client and her work are co-signified by the same planet: Mars, joint midheaven and exalted chart ruler. The career-ruling midheaven is at the crisis degree of the crisis sign: 29° Scorpio, depicting her acute preoccupation with how she is regarded by her peers as a result of her developing romantic bond.
