We were recently looking at the Leo on the 12th Cusp example, and really wondering something I'm currently having a REALLY difficult time with.

My 12th House Cusp is the Empty Space in my T-Square -- no lucky Planets or Points there or near that Cusp, and it's in Aries.

As you can imagine, when the T-Square is activated, it forces that 12th House Aries to act! It's like being blindedfolded and shadowboxing fiercely. Really exhausting because the Focal Point is my Mars in Scorpio in the 6th, part of a Stellium.

At the same time, I have a lot of Leo-based, 4th House activity in my Chart, and you've heard me whine endlessly about my "jinxed 4th House".

I've recently noted how I'm not very happy with my North Node in Leo (in the 4th) progress. I also have True "h13" Lilith, and a Uranus Singleton (only Fire), and Regulus in Leo in the 4th. My Venus & Pluto are ALSO in my 4th House, but in Virgo.

My Par Fortune (POF) is also in Leo, but at 13 Degrees in the 3rd House.

All this Leo energy is working Opposite my Chiron in Pisces the 10th.

Was wondering if you, or anyone who wants to take a look, can see ANYTHING with any hope to hang on to. Obviously, my 4th House is still in ruins, and my tendency for rehabilitative action seems out of tune, for the most part.

That blindfolded 12th House can't pin the tail on the donkey!

My Libra Sun in the 5th House longs to go with the flow, and thinks of itself as being a mellow type. My Chart REQUIRES I be the mellow type, especially around others.

Well, it sounds like a big knot to me too, so ...

And if anyone uses the Equal House System in tandem with Placidus, how in the world would you even begin to find an optimistic slant here?

I know this question is tough, but it's still the only facet of my Chart I continue to struggle with in a big way, i.e., my jinxed 4th House.
