It is not really about the sofa

The argument at home today will be about the sofa, or the dishes, or whose turn it was. It isn’t really about those. Mercury is going backward through your partner corner in Scorpio, so an old remark has come back for a second look. Mars is in Leo, in your home corner, and those two are nearly exactly square. The feeling is old and the furniture is new. Venus, your ruling planet, is retrograde in Libra and has a friendly angle to Jupiter in Leo, which helps. You know how the last version of this talk went, and it ended fine. Put the kettle on before you start.

Worked out for noon UTC, and dates are UTC days. Houses count from your sign, so they say nothing about your own birth chart. An R means the planet looks like it is moving backward. How we calculate
