Handwriting analysis is a very “mercury” type activity.  Those on this website who do handwriting analysis, then, are ruled by Mercury, at the time that they are doing an interpretation.  

If you were doing an astrology chart of someone who did handwriting analysis, you could expect to see a strong Third House, or a well-placed and strong Mercury in their charts.  If you were doing a Horary Chart of the time that someone asked for a handwriting analysis, you would find the same indications with mercury and Third House.

What if you don’t have someone’s birth time, but you wanted to know about their personality?  Many people might look to the different divination methods to find these things out…such as a handwriting analysis.  But, you can also learn quite a bit about their astrology chart, just by looking at their handwriting, too.  You could also do an astrological analysis of their HANDWRITING by looking for the following rulerships:

Sun – Circles, curves, spirals

Moon – Irregular curves, crooked lines

Mercury – Slender curves, rhythmic scrolls, short sharp lines and gentle fine curves

Venus – Curved lines and rhythmic scrolls

Mars – Sharp angles and barbs, fine straight lines

Jupiter – Full generous curves, full firm lines and curls

Saturn – Cramped forms, straight short lines, clear-cut outlines, hard lines, shrunken forms

Uranus – Mixed forms, broken lines, weird or unusual or original forms, fine curls and hooks

Neptune – Curved lines, rhythmic curves, nebulous and chaotic forms, vague indistinct curls and curves here and there broken off

Pluto – Heavy straight lines and sharp angles in complex combinations


If you looked at my handwriting, you would see very strong Uranus, Neptune, and Venus-type forms.  Many people have looked at my signature and said, “That is so artistic and pretty!  No one could ever do a forgery of THAT!”  So, it isn’t a big surprise to learn that I’m a Pisces, which is ruled by Uranus and Neptune!  

Have you ever looked at your own handwriting after you’ve been upset, worried, angry, depressed, happy, excited, feeling lucky, etc.?  You will see these changes in your handwriting…and in your astrology chart for that time!  Check your own handwriting!  Do you see some indications of your own Sun Sign there?

Please post a sample of your, or someone else's, handwriting (NO SIGNATURES, PLEASE).  Using the guide above, can you see things that relate to that person's astrology chart?  Can you do an interpretation of their personality just by looking at their handwriting?

If not a member of the astrology class, please also post your birth information for comparison between the handwriting and astrology.
