Moon in the 12th House

The 12th House can often simultaneously represent freedom and imprisonment at the same time. Our dreams and subconscious, free, but also contained spaces are represented in the 12th House. Prisons and hospitals are often represented in the 12th House because prisoners and patients are restricted to stay in the building, but they are free from the brutality of the societal norms outside.

When the Moon is in the 12th House, the person’s emotional processes are often ambiguous to them in some way, whether it be knowing what their emotions are truly or knowing how to handle the emotions they are currently feeling. Due to this ambiguity, these people tend to conceal their emotions because usually, they don’t quite know what to do with them and would ideally not like their emotions to cause an unneeded bad situation.

Also, due to this ambiguity, these people can struggle to comfort others using their emotions. These people will tend to use other facets of their personality that they’re conscious of to comfort someone, whether it be through their logic or their actions. However, while these people do tend to struggle with comforting others with their emotions, they do have a hidden intuition that they use to find people who are in need. They will also work very hard to emotionally help others, often absorbing the emotional pain of others onto themselves by being good listeners. These individuals have a great potential to be empathetic.

It is often this intuition that can help these people stay away from bad situations. There are often times when these people regret not trusting their intuition the first time once they find themselves in an unideal situation. These people tend to doubt their intuition because a lot of their intuition stems from their feelings. Chances are, if they do not trust their emotions, they won’t trust their intuition.

These people will often not share their emotional pain to others openly, and they can even struggle to clearly articulate their feelings to their loved ones. When these people go through a bad situation and they have to tell someone about it, they will often tell the events and what exactly happened, but they will never tell you how they felt about it. Due to this, when these people are sharing their feelings, they can often sound too neutral. These people tend to not process their emotions in front of others, and is often done in private.

Those with Moon in the 12th House have the potential to be a nurturing figure and a part of them deeply wants to be this figure. Deep down, these people want to help and care for the people they love. These people deeply crave to completely open up to people who care about them and care for those who do the same. However, these people need to learn that if they want to be nurturing to others, they must let others nurture them also.

A possible reason why these people can struggle with accepting nurturing from others is that perhaps, they didn’t get nurtured growing up. People with this placement will place high importance onto the parent they saw to be a motherly or nurturing figure. However, this nurturing figure was somehow inaccessible and absent to these people. Due to this, a lot of these natives grew up handling stressful situations without their emotions playing a direct role, placing their emotions in the background.

However, if these people do learn how to harness their emotions, they are quite caring individuals. These people tend to have a strong awareness for other people’s feelings and will act accordingly so that other people can be as open as possible, for they know the pain of hiding their emotions. When a person with their Moon in the 12th House feels completely safe, their emotions are often dynamic and open.

These people tend to emotionally cope by being in solitude. People with this placement can spend long periods of time alone to process and express their emotions. If these people have a strong foundation within themselves, these people can find comfort in being alone and they often like to implement little intimate comfort rituals by themselves.

However, if these people do not have a strong foundation, they will tend to emotionally rely on someone they trust in a codependent way. If these people are not careful, they can emotionally drain the people they rely on. These natives tend to cling to relationships that emotionally soothe them, and can struggle with letting people go.

Some people with this placement are aware of their dependent tendencies and can tend to emotionally detach themselves so that they don’t hurt other people, yet this is another way to escape their ambiguous emotional processing. The theme of their emotional struggle is learn the art of giving and taking with their emotions, and to learn healthy emotional self-reliance.

Sun in the 8th House

The 8th House is often a house talked about, for it is a house that is uncomfortably revealing, but also secretive at the same time. With secrets comes shame, and matters of the 8th House aren’t revealed easily. The 8th House at its core represents the ways of merging two souls into one, whether it be through life, death, shared possessions, or through intimate relationships. The merge is often rare and transformative - and is not for the light-hearted.

With the Sun in the 8th House, the person’s sense of identity is hidden. Natives with this placement think that they know who they really are, which drives them to hide themselves, especially the part of themselves they don’t find to be likable or pleasing. These people are often good at giving enough information about themselves to where people aren’t curious, but at the end of the day, nobody knows much about these people.

However, while these people think they they know the identity they’re concealing, their identity and the people themselves change while it is purposely hidden. The longer the natives chooses to hide themselves, the more change their identity will take underneath. People with this placement often become very paranoid, so there is a suspicious, but also investigative vibe to their identity. These people are very careful with handling information about themselves.

Also, in regards to the changes their identities can take, after hiding and concealing their identity for a long time, the paranoia and suspicion that can take over these secretive individuals can often manifest into illusions about their identity. The constant paranoia and suspicion can often twist the identity to where the native often think that the negative parts of their self-expression is overly exaggerated, dramatic, and unlikable when it really isn’t. The more the native tries to use fear rather than empowerment to hide their identity, the more twisted their identity can be.

Due to the secretive nature of these individuals, they can often feel lonely in a large group of people. Even though they’re going through the motions of social interaction with other people, the meaningless of shallow talk doesn’t satisfy these individuals. Often, in a social gathering where the native is surrounded by people they are not close to, they can often feel lost in a social fog. There’s a feeling of being separated from others even when people accept them, for these people think that as long as parts of themselves are hidden, they’re not completely accepted.

Due to this reason, these natives can also be very extreme in their relationships. When it comes to acceptance and intimacy, it truly is all-or-nothing. These people expect complete acceptance from those they choose to trust, and in return, they will completely accept other people. If this exchange works out, then the native will have a budding intimate relationship. However, if this exchange fails, there can often be many power struggles between the native and the other person.

However, when the native chooses to conceal themselves out of realizing their own power rather than their own fear, the native often becomes powerful and self-sufficient. There is a self-awareness that the native can use to keep themselves stable in situations where others try to hurt them. These natives will often develop healthy boundaries, only letting good people in and keeping the toxic people out.

Due to being secretive individuals, these people are often very perceptive of other people. It’s often easy for these people to have a general picture of what someone is like before talking extensively to them. It’s also easy for these people to find the secret flaws in others, and due to this, it’s not easy for them to make deep relationships. With that in mind, Intimate relationships are incredibly important for these people.

Intimate relationships are very important for these people because these people will only reveal who they truly are to those they feel safe and intimate with. With that being said, the native can often have a few close relationships, the native often strongly valuing them. The nature and workings of the intimate relationship is also important for these people, for these people identify themselves most naturally through the intimate people they choose to be with. With that being said, these people need to be careful with who they choose to be intimate with, for it’s hard for these people to let their loved ones go. To let these loved ones go means to let a part of themselves go.

These natives often define themselves through the major changes they face in their life. These natives are never quite the same after going through an important or traumatic event, especially the death of a loved one, or a figurative death in themselves. However, these natives also define themselves through the new, fresh birth of self-expression. In regards to self-expression, there are several transformations, with the native defining themselves through each transformation. Eventually, the native will often see a timeline where they’ve seen themselves in certain phases in certain stages of their life.

Having the Sun in the 8th House is a powerful placement. People with this placement are often very socially intuitive early on due to having a lot of practice with micromanaging their self-expressions. While the natives of this placement could be ashamed of their self-expression, what these natives need to learn is that through their concealment, they are not only hiding their unlikable selves, but also their potential and power. Once the natives know this, they will empower themselves and be unstoppable.

Moon in the 6th House

The 6th House rules over our conscious and daily processes, and how we deal with our daily reality. This can manifest into your daily routine, your work ethic, your work environment, and your health. The 6th House shows how we all personally attempt to micromanage our life so that we can survive and achieve our goals.

Those with Moon in the 6th House often connect their emotional workings into their daily life workings. With that being said, their emotional state often determines how their day is going to go. If they’re feeling down, chances are, their day won’t go great. If they feel lazy, then chances are, they aren’t going to get a lot of their work done today. In a sense, the native’s emotions drive their life. Their emotions influence how they’ll do their everyday activities.

The reason why their emotions so strongly influence their everyday life is because these people actively seek for comfort in their everyday life. With that being said, they are attracted to what’s familiar. It’s hard for them to try new things, especially if what they’re already doing is comfortable for them. With that being said, a lot of how the daily life for a Moon in the 6th native depends on what they decide to tie their comforts to.

A lot of what a Moon in the 6th House native needs to decide is which activities they want to find comfort in. If the native chooses to find comfort in a bad habit that’s bad for the long run, it can be tough for the native to let go of the habit and find something else to do. The Moon in the 6th native likes to cling to what they know. They argue, “Why open the potential to trying something that can hurt me when I can just stick with what I know best?”

Another problem that is presented with this need for comfort shows that the native can often struggle to be ambitious. When it comes to finding what the native wants to do in the world, they will often seek to see if their ambitions match with their standards for comfort in their everyday life. Usually, the native can hold themselves back, usually opting for the safer, more familiar route. What the native needs to learn is that their everyday life will not always be comfortable, and that being out of the comfort zone is essential for growth.

However, while a Moon in the 6th House native can struggle to let go of bad habits, they also have the potential to establish consistent and healthy daily routines. These natives often try to regulate their sleeping schedules and eating times to make their life easier to manage. Establishing a consistent routine for these natives is a fight against an inconsistent life that can be caused by their moods. These natives strongly work for a comfortable life because it’s an emotional need. However, while their daily life can be consistent, their daily life can lack variety.

However, a person with Moon in the 6th House will find it rewarding to emotionally invest into serving and helping others. To help people out through the small details is something that brings emotional gratification for the native. If a native wanted to show much they care for you, they will always focus on your habits and help you have a good day. With that being said, these natives will often look into a profession where they will spend much of their daily work nurturing other people. Many people with this placement tend to work in the medical field, or fields that focus primarily on other serving people.

A person with this placement will often see their nurturing parent to be a hard worker and/or someone who actively serves others. With this in mind, the work ethic and the daily attitude of the nurturing parent affected how the native will go through their everyday life. The native’s eating habits, sleeping habits, work ethic, and health are often affected by this parent.

There is a sense of sensitivity that comes with this placement. With this in mind, the native can be very selective of their work environment. It is essential for the native to find their ideal work environment, for their lack of emotional comfort can stop them from being productive. The native will also be selective with the people they interact with in the work environment. At the same time, the native will also be seen as a nurturer in the work environment, for people will often come to these people for emotional guidance.

However, while the native can be a nurturing and caring figure to their coworkers, the native can often let their sometimes negative moods affect the work environment, making the work atmosphere difficult to work with. At the end of the day, the native will search for a work environment that isn’t a hindrance to their comfort and emotions.

With emotional sensitivity found so strongly in the everyday life, the native can often notice and find certain nuances and occurrences others can’t see. These people can often tell how their work environment will be before getting hired. These natives also often have a strong awareness of their body, knowing when something is wrong. These people are intuitive in the everyday life, often making them “street smart.”

However, at the same time, it is this very emotional sensitivity that can make these natives naive to the everyday life, for they can naively request constant comfort in a world of change. Those with Moon in the 6th House are given a skill of sensitivity to detect the pain of others and themselves. It is this very sensitivity that can help the native learn how to live a fulfilling life, or a stressful one.

Saturn in the 7th House

The 7th House represents all of the one-on-one interactions we have with others. Relationships and interactions of all kinds are seen in this house: whether it be your family or your lovers. The 7th House also represents the shadow side we tend to hide, only to see and project this shadow side on others through our interactions with them.

For those with Saturn in the 7th House, they can struggle feeling like they belong when it comes to talking to people one-on-one. Due to this, they’re often distant and withdrawn from others. Those with Saturn in the 7th House can often feel stifled in their self-expression with others, feeling that they can’t be entirely themselves. Due to this, a lot of natives will try to present what they think is their best self to others.

At the same time though, these people will often give the same, distant treatment to others in their one-on-one relationships even though a lot of them crave for acceptance. The reason why these people will be distant or even strict with people is because they have a high standard on how their interactions should go. If the people they interact with don’t follow this standard, they will often not open up to them. These natives often have a realistic, but restrictive view of relationships.

However, it is this high standard where these natives can establish long-lasting and meaningful relationships. This high standard these natives have will often filter out toxic and meaningless relationships. For every person a Saturn in the 7th native interacts with, there is often a lesson to learn. Over time, Saturn in the 7th natives become wise when it comes to relationships and interacting with others. It becomes easier for these natives to pick and choose who they want to interact with.

Due to the distant and hesitant nature these natives have with relationships, these people can struggle to have relationships early on in life. When the native lacks relationships early on, these natives can often have a naive view of relationships unless they have seen the workings of other relationships. It is only through relationships where these natives can see a harsh reality.

However, some natives can have relationships early on. These natives often learn their lessons from their relationships harshly and painfully, the relationships often leaving a scar for them. However, it is these very scars that helps these natives know the difference between a good and bad relationship. Often, they can feel experienced and mature when they see their peers suffering from relationship issues they probably have already went through.

Following the idea that is difficult for these natives to open up, these natives will often take their relationships at a slow pace, whether they are conscious of it or not. They don’t like to rush into relationships, for these natives are cautious and careful. However, these natives are often strongly committed and devoted to their partners. This means that these natives often make great and stable marriage partners. Saturn in the 7th natives are often aware of how loving and devoted they can be, which is why it can be hard for them to trust people right away.

However, once these natives choose to trust you, they will mostly likely commit and devote themselves to you for a long time. Saturn in the 7th natives aren’t looking for interactions that are meaningless and fleeting - they only want the most important and meaningful relationships. One reason why these natives want such meaningful relationships is because deep down, these natives fear letting people go. It is hard for these natives to cut people off, especially early on. Usually, when these natives choose to be with someone, they have used a lot of practical judgment and thought a lot about it. To see a person leave when they were willing to invest so much can be very painful.

The 7th House often shows the shadow side of ourselves that we don’t like to accept. With Saturn in the 7th House, the native will often reject their practical, realistic and serious side of themselves. Deep down, these natives crave to be free and carefree, for they want to release their inner child into the world. However, these natives are scared, for they think that it’s unsafe to do so. It’s with this fear that explains why these natives often treat others in a distant way.

It can often be hard for these natives to accept the fact that they can be authoritative figures so they try to find this authority in other people. They will often seek for people they find to be competent, intelligent, and good at what they do. These natives will also seek for mature partners and due to this, their partners are often older.

Having Saturn in the 7th House is often seen to be a tough placement, as with all Saturn placements. However, with Saturn, there is often a reason why there is so much pain and suffering. For those with Saturn in the 7th House, they will face a lot of suffering, but also empowering in their relationships. If manifested positively, these natives will find a sense of power, maturity, and authority they never knew they had. It’s up to themselves to realize that they’ve had this power all along - they just need to find this power through others.

General Tips on Synthesizing

1. While astrology is structured, a lot of astrology is intuitive. Trust your gut when you're reading your chart or someone else's chart!

2. When it comes to giving someone a reading, be sure to ask them some questions so you know what you're exactly reading. For example, the 6th House covers pets: Don't talk about pets if the person you're reading doesn't have pets (unless they ask you of course!)

3. When you read someone you know, be careful - your bias and/or the information you know about them can explain elements in their chart, but don't be TOO biased, for this can twist your interpretation.

4. Speaking of bias, do NOT be biased when giving a reading. Stay as neutral and open-minded as possible. When you're biased, you open the possibility of giving misleading information.

5. Be careful with what you say. If you're giving a chart reading, realize that the people you are reading could be strongly affected by your words. With this being said, be ethical, truthful, and reasonable in your interpretations. Don't be fatalistic or limiting in your words.

6. Textbook or cookbook knowledge on astrology is good for GUIDING your interpretations. Don't let textbook interpretations ruin your interpretation!

7. The most challenging (but most fun!) part of synthesizing is mixing placements together in the natal chart and determining a unique interpretation. If you encounter contradictions, embrace them because people are naturally different and contradictory beings.

8. The natal chart is a starting point showing the potentials of someone's life. With that being said, you'll notice older people saying, "Oh, I used to be like this, but not anymore." while younger people are more likely to be self-unaware. Know your client.

9. Realize that you may not always be completely accurate in your reading. Don't beat yourself up when you get something wrong, you're only human. Practice makes perfect, especially in astrology.

10. As you read people, you'll realize certain astrological tools and techniques you'll use. Some people will not like the astrological tools you use: Rather than argue about the astrological techniques, focus on the goal: giving an accurate interpretation.

11. Most important of all, be open to learning something new! You'll never know what you'll hear and see from certain charts and people! Don't forget to also have fun!

This is often the sense of fashion we would ideally like to have if we knew we wouldn’t be judged by others.

What is my ideal sense of fashion outside of society?

Your ideal sense of fashion outside of society can often be found through your Uranus, Sun, 5th House, and 11th House. Uranus shows our rebellious, free, yet innovative self-expression, which can be expressed through fashion. The 11th House rules over our community, but also the place where we feel like we belong with minimal judgment. With that in mind, you have the opportunity to fashionably express yourself freely. The 5th House rules over our creative self-expression. It is through our creative self-expression where we can creatively express ourselves by ourselves or with those we have fun with. Our Sun is often our ego and core being. The Sun is often what orients us to fashionably express ourselves in a way we personally find to be genuine.

Why do I have my ideal and free sense of fashion?

The sign, house, and aspects made to your Uranus and your Sun will also often show why you have your free sense of fashion. Houses ruled by Aquarius and Leo will show how your free sense of fashion affects your other areas of life. With the house that is ruled by Aquarius, your free sense of fashion will show how it will shock or fascinate others. With the house that is ruled by Leo, your free sense of fashion will show how it is tied to your identity. The lords of your 5th and 11th House can often show what strongly influences on your creative sense of fashion with yourself and in your place of belonging.

NOTES

The way you go about at dressing yourself actually has a large impact on your actual sense of fashion. The way you approach fashion is found in the 6th House. Why? The 6th House is the house of the everyday reality. At least in a society where wearing clothes is the norm, you dress and undress yourself everyday. Your everyday fashion and beauty routine can influence whether your actual fashion sense is consistent or workable. You can find what affects your approach to fashion by looking at the lord of the 6th House.

Pluto in the 5th House

The 5th House is the house that rules over our creative self-expression and our idea of fun. In a sense, our highest, most sought for self-expression is found in this house. Items that represent fun in any way such as hobbies, children, and romantic and sexual relationships are found in this house.

When someone has Pluto in the 5th House, they often have an extreme, but also intimate relationship with their creativity. Due to the extreme nature of how their creativity can be expressed, the native can keep their creative self-expression a secret. It is through this secrecy where natives can have an intimate and close relationship with how they creatively express themselves. Only they are aware of how their creativity works and manifests. This can manifest with the native keeping the workings of their hobbies a secret and their romantic and sexual relationships under wraps. To know what’s going on is to know their power.

Natives of this placement will also find that their creativity can empower them or destroy them due to the power their creativity can have. Their creative works can often provoke people can perhaps even cause fear. Their creativity can often be provoking due to the penetrative, uncomfortably exposing approach their work can have onto other people and also themselves. The native can be scared of their own creations, often either destroying them or as stated, kept a secret. This is why natives with this placement often have notable “phases” with their creations, noting the many transformations their creativity can take over time.

The nature of the native’s creativity depends on how the native handles the power they are given with their creativity. With their creativity, they can empower themselves and others. Their creative works can often provide a new, insightful perspective on what is hidden in others and themselves and due to this, the native can heal others with their creativity by providing a new light on certain matters. This is why the native’s creativity can be provoking to others.

However, while the native can heal and transform others with their creativity, they also have the power to destroy themselves and others through their creative self-expression. The exposure and truth the native’s creativity can give can not only inflict fear onto others, but also destroy their perceptions of themselves. This can also apply to the native themselves. The native can often struggle to accept their creations at times, for they can struggle to accept the truth their creations can reveal. The truths revealed in their creativity can either hurt the native or empower the native. Due to this, those with Pluto in the 5th feel that they have a strong sense of responsibility tied to their creation.

The native early on realizes the power they have over themselves and others in regards to their creativity. Due to this, the native can be very possessive and paranoid when they share their creativity with others. How their creativity is accepted and seen by others is something the native constantly thinks about. The native can often be angry if they find their creative work to be stolen. To steal work from a Pluto in the 5th native is to steal their power, and the these natives will work hard to keep their own power! Those with Pluto in the 5th will often only share their creations when they feel that it is safe to or when they know they will still be empowered regardless of what happens to their creations.

With the concept of power strongly tied to creativity, the native can often have high expectations on their creative work. Natives with this placement can try to tie a certain purpose to their work, and they can reject their work when this purpose isn’t fulfilled. The native can struggle to forget to have fun simply for the sake of having fun. Those with Pluto in the 5th are often very competitive and ambitious in their hobbies. Not only are they competitive against others in their work, they are also competitive against themselves. They will constantly work to improve their craft.

In regards to romantic and sexual relationships, the native’s idea of attraction and romance can change drastically over time. The nature of the native’s romantic relationships can often start out to be secretive and intense. Power struggles are often present in the relationship. With the idea of love and romance, the native can often be strongly focused, and perhaps even obsessed with the idea of love. They can see love to be a powerful, transformative force. Romantic and/or sexual partners can either transform the native for the better, or place them in the wrong direction. With every romantic relationship the native encounters, they are transformed. They are not quite the same person they were after a meaningful romantic encounter.

In regards to children, people with Pluto in the 5th have the opportunity and potential to establish intimate relationships with children around them. If the native chooses to have children, their main objective is to empower their children by giving them the right tools to defend and fight for themselves. Those with Pluto in the 5th can see the powerful potential in children, and due to this, they feel that there is an important responsibility to care for them.  However, at their worst, those with Pluto in the 5th can choose to manipulate their children, often for their own personal agenda. The native can have power struggles with their children, and there can be a secretive atmosphere between them.

Micromanaging the Self

While there are parts of ourselves we are overly unaware of, there are also parts of ourselves where we are overly aware of. While the 8th House is the house that shows the sides of ourselves that we are overly aware of, the houses where Virgo and Scorpio rule in your natal chart shows an overly strong awareness of the self.

However, due to this strong awareness, there is often a lot of hiding and fixing with this part of yourself. Where Virgo rules in your natal chart will show where you often try to micromanage yourself. You constantly analyze yourself in this area of life, maybe overthinking and perhaps getting anxious. Where Scorpio rules in your natal chart will show where you often try to hide yourself. You constantly try to control yourself in this area of life, maybe to the point where you’ve developed a fear for yourself.

Where Virgo rules in your chart shows the strong mental control we have over ourselves while where Scorpio rules in your chart shows the strong emotional control we have over ourselves. To have an interception in Virgo/Pisces or Taurus/Scorpio will show a feeling of not having that control. Seeing where Mercury and Pluto are in your natal chart can show why you emotionally and mentally micromanage yourself.

RULINGS

I micromanage my [Virgo Ruling in the Houses] to handle my [Mercury in the Houses] well.

I hide my [Scorpio Ruling in the Houses] to control my [Pluto in the Houses] well.

• 1st House: sense of self

• 2nd House: security of self

• 3rd House: mind and thoughts

• 4th House: past and coping mechanisms

• 5th House: creativity

• 6th House: everyday life

• 7th House: relationships

• 8th House: intimate relationships and secret self

• 9th House: beliefs

• 10th House: reputation

• 11th House: friendships

• 12th House: subconscious

Example: Virgo in the 1st, Mercury in the 5th. I micromanage my sense of self to handle my creativity well.

It’s noted that both Virgo and Scorpio ruling our houses show where a person might micromanage parts of themselves due to being overly aware of it. The sign in the middle, Libra, is known to be the sign of balance. This is the sign of socializing, balance, justice, and peace. Where Libra rules in our natal charts shows the area of life where we seek for peace, and can serve as a balance for the overly managing sides of ourselves. We can either manage this balance within ourselves or find this balance through communicating with others, for Libra is an air sign.

If you have an interception in Aries/Libra, you can struggle to find a sense of balance in your life.

RULINGS

I balance my [Libra Ruling in the Houses] to handle my [Venus in the Houses] well and to work better with my [Virgo Ruling the Houses] and [Scorpio Ruling the Houses.]

Comfort in Astrology

There are many places where you can find comfort in the natal chart. There are various kinds of comfort and reasons why you strive for that comfort. Where Taurus rules in your natal chart can show what physically comforts you. Where Cancer rules in your natal chart can show what emotionally comforts you. Finally, where Virgo rules in your natal chart can show what mentally comforts you.

These three signs have a strong connection to the Moon, the planet where we not only look for our emotional nature, but also how we seek comfort. Taurus is exalted in the Moon while Cancer is ruled by the Moon exoterically. Virgo is ruled by the Moon esoterically.

Looking where your Venus, Moon, and Mercury can often explain why we seek such comforts, whether it be physical, emotional, or mental. With these planets being personal planets, it’s important to note that we are often in great control with these planets, and that these planets are a strong part of ourselves. Other than the Moon, Venus and Mercury are often close to the Sun, the powerful ego we often seek to protect and maintain. Venus (our ideals) and Mercury (our mind) often work to do this.

If you have an interception in Taurus/Scorpio, you can often find that it can be hard for you to maintain comfort to feel healthily tangible. You may feel as if you are constantly being torn by uncontrollable circumstances. With an interception in Cancer/Capricorn, there is a struggle to channel and contain your emotions on certain issues that can often make you feel emotionally misunderstood. With an interception in Virgo/Pisces, you can feel as if your life is a blur, making your life quite confusing.
