Common Life Patterns

• wealth and family re-surface as a life theme roughly every 12 years (Jupiter's cycle) and every 2.5 years (Saturn's transit through each house)

• Self-prescribing Venus's gemstone. For Leo Ascendant, Venus is contextual, and the gemstone choice depends on factors beyond this single placement
