Additional Lottery-Winning Considerations

Just FYI, If you have arrived here and have not yet read What You MUST Know About Lottery Astrology, you should use the link to go back. 

DOUBLE RULERS

Watch carefully for planets that rule two winning houses, such as when Gemini is on the Midheaven and Virgo is on the Ascendant, or when Sagittarius is on the fifth cusp and Pisces is on the eighth. These are lucky because they are “two-for-ones.”

When a planet rules two or more houses (as is sometimes caused by interceptions), one of which is a winning house, and the other is not, consider only the winning house. Ignore the other. It doesn’t look like David. You may notice many times that due to interceptions a planet may rule an angle, a winning house, and a non-winning house. I usually won’t mention the non-winning house, simply to keep from cluttering your mind with details that are unimportant.

MUTUAL RECEPTION

Planets in mutual reception can be focal planets in a winning chart, even if they are not involved in winning houses. You might look at one of the example charts and wonder why a particular planet seems to be receiving so much love from lucky planets in transit or by progression when it doesn’t appear to have any significance. If that happens, check to see if it’s in mutual reception with another planet, or if it’s the final dispositor of the chart. Billionaire Howard Hughes had Venus and Jupiter in mutual reception, as well as Saturn and Uranus.

FINAL DISPOSITORS

A planet that is the final dispositor of a chart can also be instrumental to a win. Final dispositors are of great importance in a chart and have as much, if not more, importance than the chart ruler. They are at the top of a chain of command. Billionaire Aristotle Onassis had Mercury as the final dispositor in his chart. It ruled his Ascendant and Midheaven, and squared Pluto at his Midheaven.

RETURN PLANETS

Planets that return to their own position by transit, progression or harmonics are influential and helpful to a win.

PRENATAL ECLIPSES

Prenatal eclipses are the last set of eclipses that took place before our birth. Sometimes they occur several months before birth; sometimes they occur immediately before. These are very sensitive places in our charts, and paying attention to them in lottery astrology can be both enlightening and lucky. The lunar eclipses tend to be aspected more often than the solar eclipses. My apologies that they don’t appear in the charts. The software simply doesn’t put them in, but whenever they are relevant, I’ll spell them out for you.

“RISING PLANETS” THAT AREN’T RISING

If you’re familiar with the basics of astrology, then you know that the rising planet is the one closest to the Ascendant, even if it’s necessary to go all the way down to the 3rd house to find it. It may also be located in the 12th house, if within about five degrees of the Ascendant. This is true in all single-wheel charts. However, in double-wheel charts (or triple or more), where the natal chart is inside, and a transit, progressed, directed or harmonic chart is outside, the outside wheel is read in a counterclockwise direction. Planets in the 1st house of the outside charts are descending toward the 2nd house, not destined for the horizon or 12th house to culminate at the Midheaven. Having said that, we often find that the planet closest to the natal Ascendant in the outside chart (whether by transit, progression or otherwise) seems to have the same influence as that of a rising planet, and is often the ruling planet of one of the winning houses; most often, and usually the most fortunate, the 2nd house of money, but the 5th, 8th and 11th house rulers are also well represented. An example can be found in the winning transits to the secondary progressed chart of Subject F, where Chiron, though technically neither a planet, nor rising, held the position of the rising planet. The predictable influence of triumphant ascendancy and once-in-a-lifetime events on the winner is apparent.
