The best way to describe the sixth house is that it is the place of needed interdependence. It opposes the twelfth house, which is the place of isolation.
Capricorn is made up of contrarian bones. They’re one of the most quietly and infuriatingly wacky people out there.
There is no self correction in the fifth house but there is control. Pleasure is an automatic process but it eludes you when you have no control over your environment or decisions.
We don’t solve the issue of wound fetishization by making better representations. We do it by realizing that people in pain don't just need visible validation. We need a great deal of other things as well.
There is loss in the fourth house but there is a sense of return as well.
To really talk about Hobi, we have to talk about Venus.
There’s an inherent freakishness to inhabiting femmeness, a certain form of understanding your body from the outside, that becomes voiced and satirical when you understand yourself to be a freak.

For those of us who are burdened with the task of translation (and, with it, treason), for those of us who must translate our own bodies, the third house is not about conducting measured rituals with store bought products.

Not everyone is safe enough to get an astrology reading at home.
When I talk to people about their second houses, we talk about addiction, about recovery, about power struggles, about feeling owned by the ways in which you seek to break free from someone, and about the fear of loss.
We’ve seen other forms of protest get co-opted by power—from direct action to representation to satire. Power greenwashes, pinkwashes, and tokenizes. Why not call outs? Of course call outs can get co-opted.
