You've mentioned that before. I have two Sense of Purpose placements (I think the other is Moon in Pisces??). I wonder if they compete with each other or are at odds. My Aries Sun is square Cap AC-Neptune-Uranus (although the orb for Uranus is kinda far). Otherwise, my Aries Sun doesn't aspect anything else I think.
Does that influence the Sense of Purpose more? How do you see the 12/12 placements playing out with the whole chart and planetary aspects? Like what I mean is that the placement indicates an overarching sense of purpose for the native (do you mean by the native or for the native btw?), but is the nature of that purpose articulated by the way that planetary placement interacts and aspects the rest of the chart?
The Aries Sun kinda confused petosiris when he looked at it from his astro perspective with no outer planets. lol Wish that dude would come back! Miss my friend
Definitely interacts. In fact, 12/12 is just an addition to more standard techniques. It changes the Dignities as usually listed, and includes the 3 Outermosts in a coherent pattern instead of haphazard opinion.
It would be by the native regarding Sense of Purpose, and for the native when it comes to Sense of Direction--that's a good way to distinguish them from each other.
Sun square Asc is always problematic, since both involve personal energy. In 12/12, the Ascendant is about energy-in, and the Sun is about energy-out, meaning how it's most effectively utilized. So, with Cap as the Facilitating-sign for Aries, your Aries Sun is dependent on Capricorn qualities for its energy supply. There's a saying by Lao Tzu that might stand you in good stead: "Never outrun your supply-line".
I think an Aries Sense of Purpose is about innovation and creativity, but yours has to be up to snuff according to Capricorn. Your Pisces Moon Sense of Purpose can't go up against that, but with Neptune, Domicle-ruler of Pisces, in Capricorn, it will find a way to express itself by deferring to your Aries Sun, which defers to your Cap Asc. Mars in Pisces will help with that, by connecting your Aries Sun to your Pisces Moon. You're a "work in progress"!
Edit: Although I never really applied 12/12 to peto's Chart, I see him as both highly Catalytic in the realm of thought, and a Facilitator as well. If he's really gone deep into a religious frame of mind, I'm sure he's shaking things up there, as well.
