Recently I've begun to search for a house system that works for me, and to to this, I looked at the position of my Mars and Mercury. From what I have read, planets 5 degrees from house cusps are felt in the next house. From what I have found, this is not totally true (for my case). Often, it seems as though the planet is active in both houses. In the Placidus house system, my retrograde Leo Mars is conjunct the 6th house cusp, providing a hasty work nature and a tendency to rush through projects. Yet, the nature of a 5th house Mars is also there, subtly. The competitive nature and forceful expression also pop up from time to time. Though the 6th house side is stronger, the 5th is still felt. Over to my Aquarius Mercury, who is conjunct the 12th house cusp, yet in the 11th. I have pretty good writing and speaking ability, and I often play the role of counselor for others. My friendships are based on intellectual rapport, but they're very changeable. On the 12th house side though, I often fear that other people are talking about me behind my back and I talk a great amount more in private settings. I have an interest in Psychology and I easily get confused by details. Looking at this, is it at all possible to have a planet conjunct a house cusp act in both houses?
