Lucky/unlucky? A Tale of two Temperaments.
Temperaments show our basic nature and how we greet the world and in turn how the world greets us. Our temperament is calculated using the Ascendant, the Moon sign and planets ruling them as well as the season we were born in.* How and when we entered this world in other words.

Diving deep and surfacing Georgia O’Keeffe.
Georgia O’ Keeffe is the archetypal Scorpio. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Ascendant, Jupiter and the Part of Fortune all crowded around her Ascendant and opposite a painterly Neptune in Taurus.
