Aspects from the 11th house

• the 2nd house by its 4th aspect: it energises wealth, family and speech; that house is Aries, ruled by Mars, so speed is what it touches.

• the 5th house by its 7th aspect: it adds drive, and at times friction, to children, intelligence and romance; that house is Cancer, ruled by the Moon, so feeling is what it touches.

• the 6th house by its 8th aspect: it pushes work, health and rivals into action; that house is Leo, ruled by the Sun, so warmth is what it touches.

Which nakshatra: Capricorn in parts

Within Capricorn, the exact degree puts Mars in one of these nakshatras, each with a lord that has its own role in a Pisces chart:

• 0°–10° Capricorn: Uttara Ashadha, under the Sun, which for Pisces rising rules the 6th, so work, health and rivals enter the reading; in love it is principled and loyal in love, and slow to commit but steady after.

• 10°–23°20′ Capricorn: Shravana, ruled by the Moon, lord of the 5th here, which brings children, intelligence and romance into it; its gift is deep listening, its shadow gossip and worry about reputation.

• 23°20′–30° Capricorn: Dhanishta, its own nakshatra, making the result purer; for work it points to music, real estate, finance, sport and group work.

Love and marriage

In Capricorn, an earth sign, it builds through concrete results. Exaltation is strongest near 28° Capricorn; the closer Mars is to that degree, the more fully it delivers, provided it is not combust or badly afflicted. Financially, earning is energetic and impulsive; property and hard assets suit it better than loose cash. Its aspect on the 2nd (Aries) reaches savings and family wealth.

Family and home

Domestically, brothers, property and an active, sometimes argumentative household are themes. For the home itself, Mercury (lord of Gemini, the 4th) is the main witness.
