Birth chart of David Selby

David Selby birth chart is shown with zodiac signs, planetary houses, and aspects so it can be read as a complete astrological structure rather than a single Sun sign.

David Selby's chart is framed by Sun in Aquarius, Moon in Gemini, and Leo Rising. These three factors give identity and ego, personal dream, play, childhood image, and first impression before the details.

Chart detail:

Moon square Mercury (orb 1.1°) gives a central dynamic in this reading. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

In plain terms, this aspect creates tension between personal dream and intellect: thought can cut the play instinct, or the dream can overflow rational wording.

Because the birth time is available, houses and angular dominants can be used, with each conclusion tied to a precise chart combination.

Analysis

Astrological birth chart geometry with aspect lines
This visual shows the chart geometry before the reading separates the Big Three, planets, houses, and aspects.

How to read this chart

This section gives a concrete reading thread. It highlights the most visible signatures, then the tabs keep each placement separate instead of mixing everything together.

Reading map

Start here: a short reading that shows what hooks, what helps, what pushes back, and where it becomes concrete.

1. Big Three, Personal Essence

Sun in Aquarius · Moon in Gemini · Leo Rising

First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Aquarius: identity and direction move through independence, networks, distance, and collective change; Moon in Gemini: emotional safety looks for curiosity, language, movement, and mental adaptation; Leo Rising: the first way into situations uses presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen. Then read the supports, tensions, and houses to see where this base becomes easy, charged, or visible.

2. Dominants (visible planets)

Visible planets: Lilith and Sun

Dominants are planets close to the Rising sign, Midheaven, Descendant, or IC. They describe what becomes visible quickly: presence, public role, direct relationship style, or private climate. Every angular dominant found within the orb is listed below.

  • Visible Lilith near the Midheaven (orb 3.7°) Lilith is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through social role, reputation, career, and public image. Here, that highlights pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
  • Visible Sun near the Descendant (orb 5.8°) The Sun is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met. Here, that highlights identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
3. Important harmonious aspects

Harmonious triangle: Venus, Neptune, and Moon

This is the easiest door into the chart: it shows what tends to cooperate naturally.

This pattern describes what comes more easily. It shows up mainly through House 10 (career, status, responsibility, and public role), House 2 (money, security, and self-worth), and House 6 (work, routines, health, and daily organization). It connects Venus (attraction, pleasure, taste, and relationships), Neptune (dreams, ideals, imagination, and confusion), and Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety).

This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Venus trine Neptune (orb 1.5°), Moon trine Venus (orb 3.8°), and Moon trine Neptune (orb 5.2°). It shows where functions support each other, recover, or come naturally when used together. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.

  • Harmony Venus trine Neptune (orb 1.5°) Trine: Venus in Capricorn in House 6 can support Neptune in Virgo in House 2 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives positive ease between charm, beauty, imagination, and collective receptivity: attraction can carry a very popular or inspiring image.
  • Harmony Moon trine Venus (orb 3.8°) Trine: Moon in Gemini in House 10 can support Venus in Capricorn in House 6 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives natural support between the inner child and Venus: charm, softness, taste, pleasure, and the capacity to attract can reinforce each other. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Venus.
  • Harmony Moon trine Neptune (orb 5.2°) Trine: Moon in Gemini in House 10 can support Neptune in Virgo in House 2 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives positive ease between sensitivity, imagination, personal dream, and audience receptivity. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Neptune.
4. Important tensions

Tension link: Moon and Mercury

This is the pressure line to read first: it shows where tension repeats in concrete situations.

This pattern shows where pressure builds fastest. It shows up mainly through House 10 (career, status, responsibility, and public role) and House 8 (intimacy, shared money, crisis, and transformation). It connects Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety) and Mercury (thinking, speech, and decisions).

This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Moon square Mercury (orb 1.1°). It shows where pressure, contradiction, or repeated effort concentrates. No wider group outranks this link, so read it as a strong but isolated signal.

  • Tension Moon square Mercury (orb 1.1°) Square in real life: House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image) is in friction with House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect creates tension between personal dream and intellect: thought can cut the play instinct, or the dream can overflow rational wording.
5. Important houses

These houses answer the concrete question: where in life does the chart become visible? Look here for the repeated choices, relationships, work, or crises that make the rest of the chart real.

  • House 10: Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus vocation, status, responsibility, and public image.
  • House 7: Sun relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others.
  • House 8: Mercury sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds.

The three foundations

Start from the three base placements below: the Sun gives identity, ego, and father image; the Moon gives personal dream, play, childhood imprint, mother image, and the inner child; the Rising sign gives first impression, body language, and entry style. Then dominant planets and exact aspects show what carries the most weight.

Dominant layer: Lilith near the Midheaven (orb 3.7°) is close enough to an angle to color what other people perceive. Lilith (pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise) is most visible through social role, reputation, career, and public image.

David Selby has Sun in Aquarius, in the House 7

How to read this placement

Sun in Aquarius in House 7 is one concrete combination: the Sun gives identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, the Aquarius style gives independence, networks, distance, and collective change, and House 7 gives the life field: relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction into partners, clients, opponents, negotiations, and direct confrontations. House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Sun square Uranus (orb 5.4°). Aspect effect: creates tension between ego, personal stability, and refusal of the frame.

Visible angle: Sun near the Descendant (orb 5.8°) touches an angle; this placement is easier to notice through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met.

With the Sun in Aquarius, identity forms through independence, ideas, groups, reform, and distance from ordinary expectations. The person often needs to think for themselves and locate their life inside a larger collective, technical, political, or social pattern. This placement can give originality, intellectual courage, friendship, and the capacity to question inherited rules. It is not only detachment; it is the need to remain free enough to see another possibility. When rigid, the person may become contrary, emotionally unavailable, or attached to being different.
In the 7th house, the Sun puts identity into relationship, confrontation, partnership, clients, opponents, and the mirror of other people. The person often discovers who they are through the people they face, love, negotiate with, or compete against. This can make partnership central, but it does not mean the person lacks identity; it means identity becomes sharper in contact with others. At best, it gives relational presence, diplomacy, and the ability to lead through alliance. Under stress, the ego can depend too much on approval, conflict, or the role assigned by a partner.

    Sun sextile Mars (orb 5°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Here, Sun in Aquarius in House 7 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others), with Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change); Mars in Sagittarius in House 5 brings action, courage, competition, and effort into House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning).

    Concrete cooperation: identity and action can cooperate in a concrete field. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint can cooperate with Mars. Visible angle: Sun near the Descendant (orb 5.8°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met.



David Selby has Moon in Gemini, in the House 10

How to read this placement

Moon in Gemini in House 10 is one concrete combination: the Moon gives personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm, the Gemini style gives curiosity, language, movement, and mental adaptation, and House 10 gives the life field: vocation, status, responsibility, and public image.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings personal dream, play instinct, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into career, reputation, status, visible responsibility, and social role. House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Moon square Mercury (orb 1.1°). Aspect effect: creates tension between personal dream and intellect: thought can cut the play instinct, or the dream can overflow rational wording.

With the Moon in Gemini, the inner child stays alive through words, humor, curiosity, movement, and exchange. The personal dream often needs language: naming things, comparing stories, asking questions, and keeping the mind in circulation. This Moon can give adaptability, wit, nervous intelligence, and a talent for translating inner states into speech. The mother image or childhood imprint may be linked to talking, learning, siblings, mobility, or a home where everything had to be understood quickly. When scattered, it can turn everything into thought, change moods quickly, or stay busy to avoid one difficult feeling.
In the 10th house, the Moon brings personal dream, inner child, and childhood imprint into career, public role, reputation, responsibility, and social visibility. The person's mood, care function, childhood imprint, or personal dream can become visible to the public. Others may perceive them through sensitivity, popularity, protectiveness, or changing public image. At best, this gives emotional intelligence in leadership, public resonance, and the ability to make a vocation feel human. Under stress, the person may depend too much on public approval, feel exposed by reputation, or let career pressure destabilize private life.

    Moon sextile Pluto (orb 0.4°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, Moon in Gemini in House 10 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image), with Gemini style (curiosity, language, movement, and mental adaptation); Pluto in Leo in House 12 brings crisis, power, survival, and regeneration into House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen).

    Concrete cooperation: personal dream, mother image, and Pluto's crisis instinct can cooperate when difficult situations become a resource. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child can cooperate with Pluto.

    Moon square Mercury (orb 1.1°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Moon in Gemini in House 10 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image), with Gemini style (curiosity, language, movement, and mental adaptation); Mercury in Pisces in House 8 brings intellect, language, thought, and technique into House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds), with Pisces style (imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability).

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between personal dream and intellect: thought can cut the play instinct, or the dream can overflow rational wording. House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image) is in friction with House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.

    Moon trine Venus (orb 3.8°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete support: this aspect gives natural support between the inner child and Venus: charm, softness, taste, pleasure, and the capacity to attract can reinforce each other. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Venus.

    Moon trine Neptune (orb 5.2°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete support: this aspect gives positive ease between sensitivity, imagination, personal dream, and audience receptivity. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Neptune.



David Selby has Rising sign in Leo

How to read this placement

Leo Rising combines the Rising sign with the sign on the first-house cusp. The Rising sign describes first impression, body language, reflexes, and the way the person enters situations; the Leo style gives presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen.

More about this placement

Concretely, this signature appears through immediate presence: posture, arrival rhythm, spontaneous reaction, and first contact with other people. A planet close to the Rising sign can become louder than the sign itself.

Leo rising gives a radiant first impression: posture, presence, pride, drama, and a visible sense of role. The person often enters situations as if a stage already exists, even when the expression is quiet.

David Selby has Mercury in Pisces, in the House 8

How to read this placement

Mercury in Pisces in House 8 is one concrete combination: Mercury gives intellect, language, thought, and technique, the Pisces style gives imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability, and House 8 gives the life field: sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings thinking, speech, learning, technique, and mental strategy into sexuality, shared money, crises, dependencies, and power dynamics. House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

With Mercury in Pisces, the intellect is imaginal, associative, symbolic, and sensitive to atmosphere. The person may understand through images, music, dreams, intuition, empathy, or impressions before logic catches up. This placement can give poetic language, spiritual imagination, compassion in speech, and the ability to sense subtle meaning. It is not stupid or weak; it thinks through permeability. Under stress, it can blur facts, avoid precision, absorb other people's ideas, or say something beautiful without making it clear.
In the 8th house, Mercury puts intellect into intimacy, sexuality, secrets, shared resources, crisis, psychology, and hidden power. The person may ask difficult questions and be drawn to what others avoid saying. The mind often wants depth, motives, strategy, and the truth under the surface. At best, this gives investigative intelligence, psychological insight, and courage in serious conversations. Under stress, it can become suspicion, obsessive thinking, verbal control, secretiveness, or using information as leverage in intimate situations.


David Selby has Venus in Capricorn, in the House 6

How to read this placement

Venus in Capricorn in House 6 is one concrete combination: Venus gives desire, taste, relationship, and attraction, the Capricorn style gives structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction, and House 6 gives the life field: daily work, technique, and bodily discipline.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings desire, taste, attraction, pleasure, and love style into daily work, technical gestures, habits, and bodily discipline. House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Venus square Lilith (orb 2.2°). Aspect effect: creates tension between relationship, pleasure, desire, impossible ideal, and the need not to yield.

With Venus in Capricorn, affection is serious, loyal, selective, and often expressed through commitment more than display. The person may value maturity, competence, patience, ambition, and relationships that can survive time. Taste can be restrained, classic, well-built, expensive in quality rather than flashy, or linked to status and craft. This placement can love deeply but cautiously. Under stress, it can become guarded, transactional, emotionally dry, or afraid to want something it cannot control.
In the 6th house, Venus puts attraction and pleasure into work, service, routine, health, tools, craft, and daily care. The person may show affection by helping, improving conditions, making work pleasant, or bringing beauty into ordinary tasks. Pleasure needs rhythm and usefulness here, not only luxury. At best, this gives tact at work, aesthetic skill, care for the body, and the ability to make daily life more harmonious. Under stress, it can become conflict avoidance in work settings, over-service to be liked, perfectionism around appearance, or comfort habits that weaken health.

    Venus trine Neptune (orb 1.5°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Venus in Capricorn in House 6 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline), with Capricorn style (structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction); Neptune in Virgo in House 2 brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration into House 2 (resources, values, and security), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail).

    Concrete support: this aspect gives positive ease between charm, beauty, imagination, and collective receptivity: attraction can carry a very popular or inspiring image.

    Venus square Lilith (orb 2.2°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Venus in Capricorn in House 6 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline), with Capricorn style (structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction); Lilith in Aries in House 9 brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action).

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between relationship, pleasure, desire, impossible ideal, and the need not to yield. Visible angle: Lilith near the Midheaven (orb 3.7°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through social role, reputation, career, and public image. House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline) is in friction with House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.

    Venus opposite Pluto (orb 4.1°) puts the two planets face to face, with visible back-and-forth or tension. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete conflict: this aspect sets Venus opposite Pluto: love, pleasure, attraction, or self-worth can conflict with power, control, sexuality, jealousy, or crisis. The house conflict is between House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline) and House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other.

    Same aspect, other side: the full reading is under the other planet, and it also applies to Venus.

David Selby has Mars in Sagittarius, in the House 5

How to read this placement

Mars in Sagittarius in House 5 is one concrete combination: Mars gives action, courage, competition, and effort, the Sagittarius style gives expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning, and House 5 gives the life field: creation, performance, and personal expression.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings action, anger, courage, competition, and effort into creation, play, performance, children, and personal risk-taking. House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Mars trine Lilith (orb 4.8°). Aspect effect: lets Lilith's ideal sharpen Mars into courage, precision, and clean action under pressure.

With Mars in Sagittarius, action needs distance, meaning, truth, movement, and a horizon. The person often acts through travel, teaching, sport, debate, belief, humor, or the defense of a principle. This Mars can be bold, enthusiastic, frank, adventurous, and motivating. Under stress, it can become reckless, preachy, impatient with limits, or too sure that its own direction is the only honest one.
In the 5th house, Mars puts action into creativity, romance, sex appeal, play, children, sport, performance, and competition. The person often wants to create with force, pursue desire openly, and take risks for pleasure or recognition. This placement can make love, art, and games feel alive because there is heat in them. At best, it gives creative courage, athletic play, passion, and bold self-expression. Under stress, it can become dramatic rivalry, risky romance, impatience with children or audiences, or needing excitement to feel alive.

    Mars trine Lilith (orb 4.8°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Here, Mars in Sagittarius in House 5 brings action, courage, competition, and effort into House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning); Lilith in Aries in House 9 brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action).

    Concrete support: Lilith's ideal can sharpen Mars into courage, precision, and clean action under pressure. Visible angle: Lilith near the Midheaven (orb 3.7°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through social role, reputation, career, and public image.

    Same aspect, other side: the full reading is under the other planet, and it also applies to Mars.

David Selby has Jupiter in Taurus, in the House 10

How to read this placement

Jupiter in Taurus in House 10 is one concrete combination: Jupiter gives personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons, the Taurus style gives nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance, and House 10 gives the life field: vocation, status, responsibility, and public image.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings personal fulfillment, confidence, and opening of horizons into career, reputation, status, visible responsibility, and social role. House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Jupiter conjunct Saturn (orb 0.7°). Aspect effect: brings personal fulfillment and patient construction together.

With Jupiter in Taurus, the person finds fulfillment through stability, comfort, the body, money, nature, and the slow enjoyment of life. They often feel more confident when resources are secure and pleasure is allowed to become simple and concrete. This Jupiter can bring generosity, sensual appreciation, patience, and talent for building value over time. Under stress, it can become lazy, possessive, overly attached to comfort, or resistant to necessary change.
With Jupiter in the 10th house, the person finds fulfillment through career, status, public role, reputation, and social responsibility. The public role needs room to guide, teach, encourage, lead, or make life wider for others. At best, this gives social confidence, respected guidance, generosity in leadership, and success through a broad vision. Under stress, it can become inflated status, overpromising publicly, moralizing from authority, or assuming reputation will protect against consequences.

    Jupiter conjunct Saturn (orb 0.7°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image), with the same Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance). Jupiter in Taurus in House 10 brings personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons; Saturn in Taurus in House 10 brings discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery.

    Concrete effect: this aspect brings personal fulfillment and patient construction together.

    Same aspect, other side: the full reading is under the other planet, and it also applies to Jupiter.

    Open the full aspect reading under Mercury

    Jupiter square Pluto (orb 5°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates friction between Jupiter (personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons) and Pluto's crisis instinct: pressure can become domination, fear, or destructive escalation unless it receives a clear outlet. House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image) is in friction with House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.

The person often learns slowly, builds patiently, and wants proof that something will last before trusting it.

The person may be perceived through seriousness, ambition, competence, caution, or the weight of responsibility. At best, this gives public credibility, endurance, leadership by structure, and success built over time.

House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

With Uranus in Taurus, independence expresses itself through money, body, production, stability, and material values. The person may question inherited ideas about ownership, work, comfort, food, land, or what makes life secure. This placement can give practical invention, unusual taste, and the ability to modernize concrete systems. Under stress, it can bring sudden material disruptions, stubborn refusal to move, or a push-pull between craving stability and needing freedom.
In the 10th house, Uranus puts originality, rupture, and collective progress into career, status, public role, reputation, and authority. The person may be publicly perceived as independent, unconventional, inventive, disruptive, or difficult to place inside ordinary institutions.

David Selby has Neptune in Virgo, in the House 2

How to read this placement

Neptune in Virgo in House 2 is one concrete combination: Neptune gives imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration, the Virgo style gives precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail, and House 2 gives the life field: resources, values, and security.

More about this placement

House 2 (resources, values, and security) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

With Neptune in Virgo, the dream function takes the color of work, service, health, method, craft, and practical repair. The person may sense collective moods through everyday suffering, bodily fragility, working conditions, or the need to make life cleaner and more useful. This placement can give compassionate skill, healing imagination, and the ability to make care concrete.
