Where is my diamond earring?
Judged by Sharon Knight
I had lost one of my diamond earrings and drew up a horary to find out where it was.
As a personal possession the earring is shown by the Sun, ruler of the 2nd house, an appropriate significator for gold and precious things (CA. p.354). Though peregrine, it is well placed in the 11th house (of good fortune and friends), disposed by Mercury, to which the Moon applies by sextile. This shows good hopes for recovery, as does the Moon's trine to the ascendant, and the fact that both luminaries are above the horizon (CA. p 357). In addition, the antiscion of the Sun is at 25°42' Cancer, conjunct the ascendant. This reflection between the Sun and ascendant is a positive indication.
On the negative side, the Moon is besieged by Mars and Saturn, which I took to suggest that the earring had become 'wedged in' between two objects. Venus, the natural significator for jewellery, is also combust, indicating that the earring is hidden from sight.
If it was to be recovered, the earring had to be in my flat. The lord of the ascendant is angular and the hour ruler is succeedent, showing goods which are not far from their owner (CA. p.349). With the ascendant in Cancer and the Moon in Pisces, my first thoughts were near water, but despite diligent searching of the kitchen and bathroom I could not find it.
The next week, a friend going into the bathroom looked down to the bath mat under the sink and saw something sparkle. It was my missing earring. Its spike was lodged (besieged) in the weave of the mat so that I had not found it, despite having shaken it.
The earring was found by a friend, as suggested by the Moon's application to Mercury, which along with the Sun, Venus, and Fortuna, is located in the 11th house; in the bathroom, as shown by the Moon in Pisces.
