Since the planet spends about seven years per sign, this belongs to a generation rather than to a person. The most recent cohort was born in the later 1940s and early 1950s, following a pass in the 1860s; the cycle runs about eighty-four years. Such groups arrive when the domestic order is being rearranged by war, migration or mass rehousing, and they grow up regarding the family as a structure that can be redesigned rather than inherited.
The shared temperament combines a strong need for security with an inability to accept the traditional form of it. These cohorts left the towns they were raised in, invented new household arrangements, and treated the parental model as something to be improved upon rather than repeated. What they collectively broke was the assumption that a family has one shape; what they rebuilt, unevenly, was a wider definition of home. The private cost was a persistent rootlessness.
One life expresses this through house placement and aspect. In the fourth house it brings frequent moves, an unusual parent, or a home that never quite settles; in the tenth, a public life that keeps colliding with domestic obligation. Aspects from the Moon make the emotional weather itself erratic, so that closeness and sudden withdrawal alternate in a rhythm the person understands better than anyone living with them does.
