The keywords for the 10th house are social fulfillment, recognition, success, fame and notoriety.
The calling of the owners of the 10th house in Capricorn is to be a respected and revered member of society, for which they are ready to be subordinate for some time, fulfilling the requirements of their superiors and strengthening their reputation in order to fly up later.

11th House in Aquarius - Ruler of Uranus and Saturn
The 11th House of Joy and Opportunity, Friends and Social Activity shows where unexpected good fortune comes from and how to make a profit during a booming career. However, its main meaning is friendship and participation in collective projects, where people show themselves as leaders or obedient gears, depending on the nature of the sign on the cusp.
Owners of the 11th house in Aquarius do an excellent job of shocking the audience and falling in love with themselves. That's just to have such extravagant friends is not easy. It’s fun with them, but it’s not a fact that in difficult times they won’t run away to save humanity, leaving a specific friend to sort out problems on their own.

12th House in Pisces - Ruler of Neptune and Jupiter
12th house is the last in the zodiac. Pisces is the symbolic sign and Neptune is the symbolic ruler of the twelfth house. Since Neptune is the planet of delusion and enlightenment, the spiritual impulse and the desire to overcome the rigidity of the physical world, it can be assumed that the twelfth house is associated with some kind of mystery. Pisces are sensitive and intuitive, they are prone to sympathy and self-sacrifice - all this basically determines the nature of the twelfth house.
In a psychological sense, this is subconscious, an inner world, largely hidden even from people themselves, in which all the joys and sorrows experienced from birth are immersed. Whether people want to take a look at their inner self and deal with it is completely up to them. Some people expect the use of a horoscope to make life easier, while others would like to use it in order to seriously understand themselves. The choice here depends on whether they want to consciously understand their inner world, or whether they are comfortable with it remaining unknown. It is the 12th house that makes it possible to find the true "I", gain faith and inspiration.
The position of the 12th house in Pisces, more than any other, is a source of inner strength. Although people will not be aware of their subconscious intentions and needs, but at a critical moment, some instinct will suddenly tell them what to do. Compared to all others, this situation is the most intuitive.
Senior ruler Neptune and junior ruler Jupiter govern Pisces, which is why their influence is so important when analyzing the 12th house.

Karmic indicators help a person to realize deep problems rooted in past lives. And start working on yourself in order to get rid of them and thereby improve this life and the potential next one. By karmic problems, one should not mean punishment for misdeeds and sins, as karma is usually interpreted in a philistine sense. Karma is not retribution, but rather inertia, when a person from life to life attracts similar situations to himself. From a karmic point of view, all elements of the natal chart can be interpreted without exception. But the most important indicators of karma in the horoscope are retrograde planets (if any) and Lunar nodes .
Retrograde planets
Retrograde planets are always associated with a reference to the past. The more of them a person has in the horoscope, the stronger his connection with the past. The retrograde planet also indicates an unresolved task in a past life, an unfinished business, unrealized abilities. And it forces a person to take up again what was not possible in the past. The symbol in the table is R.
Jupiter Retrograde - Personality
People with retrograde Jupiter are living the truth in relation to themselves. Their ideas about right and wrong, about the morality of this world through which they travel, and about the honesty of the opinions of other people have little effect on what they feel inside. In an attempt to be fair, the owners of the natal chart develop their own unique set of standards. Usually these standards are based on personal experience of the beginning of this life, as well as on experiences from other incarnations, and do not reflect the mass consciousness, but rather the concept of the universe personally formed by them.
People with such a planet in the natal chart have a good sense of the various places and how similar they are to each other. At the same time, they are aware of different levels in ways of thinking. Always studying the mind, they seek to experience the wealth within themselves, which they hope will ultimately be equal to the opportunities available to them in the outside world. Often because of this, such individuals experience dissatisfaction, which manifests itself as internal restlessness. They like to deal with things, realizing the essence of the idea and its significance, and not the details necessary to implement the idea.
If Jupiter is well aspected, they may have strong self-motivation, but must beware of trying to do too many things at the same time.
Essentially, the owners of the horoscope are free in spirit. And while they will adapt to the ideals of society that are beneficial to them, they constantly fight to maintain the sense of individuality.
Some people in this position have great wisdom, almost prophetic. They can summarize in a few words the essence of lengthy, complex, detailed projects that would confuse other people with a lot of little things. They can be conscious. Theit inherent honesty with themselves is one of the most important identifying characteristics. When poorly aspected, Jupiter retrograde can give ill will brought on from past incarnations. In these cases, such people project a long past desire to get even on new people in the present. Fortunately, this is the exception rather than the rule, since Jupiter retrograde provides individuals with the opportunity to see themselves with the help of a higher mind, after which some of their personal implications give way to a higher and more impartial understanding. The development of wealth in the inner being ultimately takes precedence over the desire to acquire wealth in the outer world.
Jupiter Retrograde - Karma
Karma with Jupiter retrograde is always associated with introspection through the higher mind. The owners of the natal chart must be able to justify themselves to themselves in order to feel that they truly deserve the respect and honor that Jupiter promises.
In some past incarnation, such people paid great attention to the violation of some religious or spiritual principle. In the current life, they feel an even greater determination to redefine the value of this principle in the mind. They must beware of judging others when they see that the outside world is living by rules that they cannot understand. Individuals should be patient with other people if they expect them to listen to the expression of their inner truths.
On another level, individuals have accumulated a huge experience of the past, which is characteristic of retrograde Jupiter. Times and places from the past - everything mixes into the continuous present, so that at any given moment or in any given place, individuals feel this time or place in general, as if being simultaneously in all similar times and places that they experienced. Thus, their consciousness expands simultaneously in these two dimensions and often without limitation. They do not know how to focus the mind on a clear point within themselves. Instead, they absorb the symbols of their thoughts from the environment, in order to ultimately find out that the home is everywhere, and any time is real!
The more these external symbols correspond to the truth that they have learned in a previous life, the more content they become.
Jupiter Retrograde in the sign of Capricorn
Here people experience a constant conflict between Jupiter's needs for expansion, enthusiasm and optimism, and Capricorn's tendencies towards limitation, moderation and restraint. Thus, these people must strike a balance between these two extremes before they attain the immense wisdom that this position can give. They are happiest at a later age when they understand how to turn the higher intelligence towards essential values.
In the youth, they often tend to look older than they really are. Although they can be very wise, they are overlooked until a later age. In negative personalities, this position can indicate materialism, especially when other indicators of the chart indicate qualities of insecurity. By using this position of Jupiter at the highest level, such people can be very spiritual, have a strong religious understanding that they developed in previous incarnations. In addition, they have the ability to assess the significance of things by balancing them relative to the central position. However, in this life, they experience a very strong vibration "stop-move", which does not always allow them to do everything they would like. People with such a position of the natal chart often paralyze themselves by looking deeper than they really need. In this sense, they may over-exaggerate the importance of things, seeing too much in life as supporting or denying their principles.
Here, the 3rd phase of the retrograde process comes to the fore, since the owners of the natal chart experience the karma of the maturation of the understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Jupiter retrograde in the 9th house
Here, Jupiter retrograde is in its natural home. As a result, people in this position can comfortably function with any of the three retrograde phases. At the same time, their lives cause inconvenience to those close to them. The 9th house is the house of bachelorhood, and with the natural thrust of retrograde Jupiter for freedom, this becomes a poor position to enter into any relationship of a long-term nature. There is a tendency to move away from people, as the owners of the natal chart want more and more to experience the natural environment, getting rid of the complexities necessary to meet the social expectations of others. These individuals have great difficulty translating what they know into words. They are able to understand the higher mind, but do not always believe that they can transfer their knowledges to others.
Such people face great difficulties in going through earthly situations and circumstances. When communicating with people, they usually know what they are going to prove, but will not do it until they make sure that the language they are using will be accepted by other people.
They love to move from place to place and do not like to spend too much time in one place. In essence, they are very much like wanderers wandering through life to test the knowledge they have gained from past incarnation experiences by analyzing existing circumstances. Some people in this position have a very strongly developed understanding of God, while others who believe that their Souls are of a less religious nature express this understanding by explaining how the mechanism of the universe works.
The most significant growth in this life occurs when people with such a position of the horoscope realize that the world around them is very similar to the Tower of Babel. People are unable to communicate with each other because they have different conceptual understandings of the simplest words.
People with this position of Jupiter understands that the quality of communication with other people is always lower than what it could be. They sense obstacles in the steady stream of thinking that are caused by language barriers. Their karma is to know, understand and teach where asked, but never impose on those who cannot understand their natural wisdom.
Uranus Retrograde - Personality
People with Uranus retrograde display a rather unique personality.
At the deepest levels, they are rebels against everything that binds them. If they are timid people, they may feel claustrophobic. If these are fearless people, they will try to overthrow everything that they consider to have outlived their usefulness. Such individuals cannot be satisfied with simply moving through life, since they see too much of everything that can increase the wealth of humanity, if only society shakes off all its false anchors of security.
The owners of the natal chart will be worried if other people treat them too favorably, as then they will feel that they have lost a significant part of themselves. Therefore, they will from time to time lose friends and acquaintances, sometimes work and romantic attachments - all due to the fact that other people often find it too difficult to accept the strangeness of their ideas. However, years later, when society will come out in defense of everything that they once supported, they will no longer take interest in all the advanced theories or positions that they instilled in time. Thus, they are in many ways harbingers of the future. Because of this, they may feel lonely, but they would never give up the gift of originality for the sake of the company of other people. They know that first of all the Soul must be free. Everything that hinders this freedom, they will sweep away from the path.
For those who are able to understand them, they are the most captivating interlocutors, as they are literally filled with all the ideas that humanity needs for the future of the human race.
Uranus Retrograde - Karma
On a personal level, Uranus retrograde creates a mess in human relationships. People with such a position of the horoscope experience an internal fluidity that often makes them disingenuous towards themselves. Their mental and emotional levels often fight each other, so they may know some things that should lead them in the direction the knowledge points to, but at the same time they feel other things that can lead them completely a different direction.
These people experience the karma of learning how to express the inner freedom they bring into this life. And they should not be bound by all the time trying to explain the meaning to others or even to themselves. A free spirit doesn't always seem to make sense. The fact is that the logical continuation of common sense in individuals is more of a Saturnian trait associated with the rigidity of order, discipline and directing oneself towards certain goals. But people with Uranus retrograde do not experience such karma.
To explore the inner existence, as well as many other areas of understanding that humanity as a whole has not yet reached, they follow a long and winding path to find formulas that make the world work. Nevertheless, they know that the search is an endless process, since each new discovery leads to another question. They can be extremely happy as long as others do not try to squeeze them into thought patterns of behavior, the limits of which they have already crossed because of the meaninglessness of the roles they play in the perception of the huge scheme.
They learned how to be independent in previous incarnations, and now they must use that independence to rediscover and understand the reason why they originally wanted it.
Uranus retrograde in the 10th house
Here people are looking for an inner sense of identity that will bring them a uniqueness of character within the framework of the society in which they live. Such people experience conflict, yielding to their individuality in order to stay in a position where they can ultimately express it more. They can change the direction many times until they find a special niche where they can really express themselves. This is an especially good position for a career in advertising or media, where people can be versatile and have the reliability they need.
The owners of the horoscope need to have enough room to follow their creative instincts without being squeezed into a responsibility framework. However, they do a great job of responsibility when they don't realize that they are doing it. When they are allowed to live and work on a day-to-day basis, they do it much better than when they are faced with any project that involves a lot of forward planning. However, they show great ability in the development of long-term plans, until they consider them as a "case" for the future.
People with this position of the natal chart usually spend a lot of time in the 3rd phase of the retrograde process, internalizing the needs of their immediate environment, and from this they can figure out how to cope with everything that surrounds them. Yet there is a tendency to be slightly out of sync with time, especially as Uranus rules the future, while 10th house Saturn tendencies are more in the past. When these two tendencies are confused, the owners of the natal chart must do a great deal of work to acquire a balanced perspective over time. They are very resourceful and can show a rare giftedness in understanding how to do something - which none of the people around them can understand. Karmically, they learn the lessons of self-discipline so that all the inner ingenuity that they feel can be used in today's world in which they live. They must learn how to be different without disturbing the structures that they ultimately want to improve.
LUNAR NODES
Lunar nodes symbolize the axis of development. The South Node means the experience gained by a person in past lives, and the North Node shows the experience that a person needs to acquire in the current life.
North Node in the sign of Pisces, South Node in the sign of Virgo
Owners of the South Node in Virgo know how to put everything on the shelves, analyze and put in order. Meanwhile, in this life they need to develop completely different qualities: psychology, intuitiveness of mind, the ability to abstract from details and exist in a situation of uncertainty.
In many situations, rationalism in thinking and ideal, well-thought-out actions can lead to mistakes. People with such a position of the horoscope will benefit more if they trust in unexpected insights, use their imagination and show creativity in their work. People with a North Node in Pisces can realize themselves in the field of art, as well as in religion, psychology and occult sciences.

North Node in the 12th house, South Node in the 6th house
The owners of the North Node in the 12th house must find time in life for spiritual practice, charity and creative pursuits. When interacting with others, they need to show kindness, gentleness, patience, and mercy. This approach will bring a sense of peace of mind, even if they have to periodically face situations of solitude, restrictions and sacrifice in the name of other people.
If people with such a position of the horoscope humbly accept fate, with humility overcome life's difficulties and at the same time willingly and sincerely help their neighbors, then they gain inner harmony and a sense of the correctness of their path.

Aspects of the Lunar Nodes:
SELENA
In addition to the Ascending Node, the path of karmic advancement and the application of innate talents is shown by the White Moon, which is also called Selena or Lulu. This is a fictitious point that reflects the bright karma accumulated by the native himself in a past life or his ancestors in several generations. The place where the sign of the guardian angel is located will show in which area the native has accumulated the greatest amount of good deeds. It is there that the star road to success and prosperity now shines, subject to the development and manifestation of the highest qualities of the sign, where the White Moon is located.
Selena (White Moon) in Cancer
Selena, falling into the sign of Cancer, endows the wards with spiritual softness and warmth, the desire to benefit the sick and suffering with parental tenderness and support. This is evidence of past light karma.
Astrologers believe that in the previous incarnation, the owners of the horoscope selflessly took care of their relatives and small children, perhaps they died protecting them or the shrines of the Motherland, so now they are born in a loving family and easily make their dreams come true in their native country. The White Moon in Cancer checks for loyalty to ideals every seven years, and if people hurt loved ones and chose a selfish path of development, then they will face a split in the family and forced emigration.

Selena in the 4th House
Selena in the 4th house symbolizes the support of the mother, as the embodiment of the earthly guardian angel, and the holy radiance of the hearth. If it is located in the first third of the house, then the owners of the horoscope protect the whole family on the maternal side. Ancestors can appear in a dream and give answers to pressing questions. One of the best and strong positions of the White Moon also implies a high spiritual mission to protect the traditions of the native country, but in order to fulfill it, one must know the features of interaction with the power of the karma of the clan.
To achieve success, the owners of the White Moon in the 4th house need to develop the talents and abilities that were in the family and transmitted to them genetically.

LILITH
Lilith is considered a tempting demon, but they do not understand that at the highest level of development of consciousness, she ceases to be a source of danger, but, on the contrary, enhances a person talents according to the sign and the house in which she stands.
Therefore, it is very important to bring your Lilith out of darkness to light, and then the courage of new quests will manifest itself on a positive creative level. This is a fictitious point of the horoscope, not a planet, but its power is underestimated, and elaboration is often considered impossible. However, the right actions and symbolism work wonders.
Lilith shows us the bottom, the darkest side of a person - a dark pit into which the native can fall, succumbing to the temptation of low vibrations, if he follows the path outlined by Lilith. Therefore, when reading a horoscope, consider this.
Lilith (Black Moon) in Pisces
Lilith in the sign of Pisces enhances the sensuality of a secret and suffering type, which is not always perceived at the level of consciousness. Here she can choose for herself both an illegal direction and a wrong way of behavior. With this arrangement, Lilith requires a categorical rejection of the role of a seducer, tempter, child molester, distributor of alcoholic beverages and drugs in order to gain and self-enrichment or satisfy their animal instincts. Pimping, brothel ownership as well as espionage, harboring criminal elements or subversive activities must also be abandoned. It is considered together with the position of Neptune, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Chiron and the 12th house of the horoscope.

Lilith in the 11th House
In a past life, the owners of the horoscope seduced friends and like-minded people, no one could resist them. Their sexual power was so unstoppable that they themselves led an immoral lifestyle and involved their friends in this circle. Now such people need to end the old way of life and get out of the vicious circle by any means. In the first half of life, previous experiences still strongly affect these individuals, therefore, in order to get rid of the harmful effects of increased lust, it is better to choose marriage and the birth of children. True, this position of Lilith may indicate that the child may be illegitimate. These people should avoid those who have the Sun, Moon, Ascendant or Meridian in conjunction with the Lilith of the individual, as such a person can bring problems
