Whether or not you were born during the day or night can have a profound influence on your chart and the way that it manifests in your life. This is actually a lot more pervasive than I’ll explain here, but as a basic concept it can be useful for experimentation.
If you were born during the daytime (Sun in houses 7-12 or above the Asc/Dsc axis) the Sun is raised to higher importance in your chart, and it’s more likely that you’ll resonate with your solar self.
If you were born during the nighttime (Sun in houses 1-6 or below the Asc/Dsc axis) the Moon is raised to higher importance in your chart, and it’s more likely that you’ll resonate with your lunar self.
You can see that although this is relatively simple it can be very effective, and indeed shifts the focus of a chart quite drastically. Using the sect light as a jumping off point for the chart can lead you to a greater understanding of the actual manifestations of a persons life.

Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius December 3rd-22nd 2017
🏹 Cerebral Valium
“Most misunderstandings in the world could be avoided if people would simply take the time to ask, “What else could this mean?” - Shannon Alder
The event of Mercury retrograding is an illusion in the sky. An illusion we seem to make all to real. The author inside our minds keeps backspacing our thoughts, we can really stumble over our words. Like the wire that attaches the brain to the mouth is tangled. The clever and the chaos becomes a flatline hum. Cerebral valium, necessary but frustrating. What if the Mercury retrograde effected us so much we got confused about it being Mercury retrogade? For people very in tune with quick and acute mental faculties, they can feel lost in life without the mind. Mercury is already debilitated in Sagittarius, so the experience can be very surreal.
♡♡ Is this information valid? ♡♡ Do my thoughts match up with my inner values?Is this the right occasion to share my thoughts? ♡♡Do I need to be alone to figure this out? ♡♡Do I need to gather more information?
How can you be restless but tired at the same time? Sagittarius is a very dual sign and equally distributes energy through the body and mind. Sagittarius is also active and aspirant, so it can be rattling when Mercury is having a relaxing sunny vacation. The normal acuity we have in conversation, writing, and learning seems inhibited, but not seemingly for the whole retrograde. We usually adjust after only a few days, Mercury is very flexible. The old rhetoric around not signing contracts and reduced punctuality is basically highlighting that you may not be applying your usual attention to detail and therefore may overlook important details or forget the train schedule. It also means that the person operating the train timetable can do the same. It doesn’t imply that every circumstance around communication, transport, business, and paperwork is inherently ill fated. It just means that you may need to apply more care and discrimination around these matters. Because Mercury rules the hands and dexterity, we can become more clumsy, i’ve already cracked my iphone screen lol.
Just breathe now. you won’t miss out on anything - no one is talking sense anyway! Take time to breathe. Mercury rules the lungs. It will clear your mind immensely. If you managed to read this all the way, you can see that Mercury retrograde hasn’t stung you too much

First I do the yoga, then I do the things…. - I like to stick to my normal morning routine on holiday, I just drag it out for longer. I am a creature of habit! I get up early and do my pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation outside. 20 minutes of skipping. An hour or two of yoga. That’s sets me up nicely for the rest of my day! - #yoga #yogaflow #yogaeveryday #yogapractice - Wearing @sweatybetty (at France)
