The chart forms a Seesaw shape
Planets gather in two opposite groups — you live in the push and pull between them.
Upper-right quadrant is empty
The houses of partnership and belief carry no planetary weight.
Moon sits at the centre of the aspect web
Six aspects involve Moon — it ties the rest of the chart together.
Moon and Mars in mutual reception
Moon sits in Aries, Mars sits in Cancer — each planet in the sign the other rules, a quiet exchange of strength.
