Tanit thanks for that valuable moonlore as regards your property purchase,well done.
I love Ema Kurents Horary Astrology book As regards eclipses she concurs with Barbara H Waters (exellent author of an astrologer looks at murder)If a question is raised on the day of an eclipse the querents efforts aimed at achieving a goal would become void due to force majeure.She goes onto say that even upto a couple of days before an eclipse there is considerable chance of a negative outcome to ones plans, as the lights are darkening. I see that the planetary hour of the chart is the moon, as co-significator she represents him perfectly in that he is asking the question(gemini) will he cope(6th house)
conjunct the pleiades which like the painting by John William Waterhouse Hylas & the nymphs the young man is pulled into the water & overwhelmed,All this as the lights are darkening & mercury the ruler of both lights is combust yet in this eclipse will attain a rare state during of Cazimi. Thats unusual & I am unsure whether that has any relevance to this question?

Zosma,

Abu Ma'sar says that "A star that recedes means falsities and deceptions"
Here you have Mercury R, L7 in 7 (the seller) combust. I still have the feeling that the seller is hiding something.
The Moon applies to Mercury fulfilling the agreement between both parties.
Yet the Sun collecting the light in square to Neptune suggests that something major (Sun) is at stake here.
If the seller is being sued by the buyer because of a hidden defect, the defendant might argue that the defect was obvious. Who knows?
Antares conjunct the ASC, as its name Ant-ares says, ‘Rival to Mars’ of Martian nature and Mars L4 in Fall in the 8th might involve a lawsuit in the matter or the contract. (Hot and dry Mars in a Cold and Wet sign)

Appreciate the updates you give to the question. A good way to learn.

Thanks for your guidance & time,
I also have a bad feeling about this ; this is my step son who lives in Poland so I can't travel to be there, The land was bought as the progressed Asc was on the Mars Pluto line, inconjunct Mars ....so a further theme of hidden things.
The South node conjunct the Ascendant would that show a loss to self belief (Sagittarius) should things backfire for him? He's so busy he only snatches 4/5 hours sleep a night now he's started something that may finnish him (south node conjunct Asc)

His 4th ruler rules his home is Mars in 8th Cancer, deposited by Moon in gemini 0 degrees new neighbour creating noise -air sign generating his desire to move.Moon completes square to Jupiter 1 degree,1month later has the land in his neighbourhood (jupiter in third) but the depositor of moon is Mercury taking the light of Neptune retrograding into the Sun,this would be bad but Mercury is in its own sign so has some protection & will achieve Cazimi, Hmmm going to be tough.As a gemini ascendant he has the eclipse in 1st house so major changes over next 18 months.

The property was successfully built they are moving in in a coupe of weeks,
over the moon & happy with the outcome. So much for casting a horary chart during an eclipse which is suppose to frustrate the outcome.
Although the process was difficult the experience has empowered him.
The moon over Pleiades was the sale of his family home to finance the project .The Neptune square Mercury retrograde indicated the seller being unhappy with the size of the plot of land for his needs & deciding to sell.
The South node on Asc was the buyers lack of faith in coping, but the ruler Jupiter in Pisces trining Venus in a mutual reception L1 to L10 was a very powerful indicator of success, The moon peregrine in Gemini square Jupiter meant after selling the familly home he moved into his fathers home temporarily until his house was built.
The eclipse in Gemini was also in his natal first house which indicated a profound change in his life direction at this point in time. With Jupiter having the most strength in this chart that would be enough to indicate success in his endeavour , & it is interesting to note that Jupiter has just become visible as a morning star & so is at his most powerful in this helical cycle giving the family great joy at the prospect of a brand new detached home.

Thank you for the update Zosma!
Happy that it turned out well for him and crushing for the poor astrology advices we provide!

Good point! By itself, the benefic Jupiter in rulership in the 3rd of moving was a good testimony. Like a sailor approaching his destination 'Land Ho!"
