Ooops - before the 70's Mel.Mels post #368: I think the last century's 'retread' of house meanings, mothers in the 4th, sex in the 8th, and so on, is based on some 20th century astrologers mistakenly correlating the 12 mundane houses with the 12 celestial houses (the signs). In actuality however, the houses, the signs, and the seven planets are considered (at least up until the 1970's) to be three separate sets of variables,
Charles E.O. Carter, 1924. Margaret Hones' (D.F.S Astrol.) book first appeared in 1951. R.C. Davidson (The Astrological Lodge.Theo Soc.), 1955. And lots of others.
However, they would still be in the 20th century. Bump
However, as much as I prefer to adhere to the older astro where possible, we have moved on and the planets now-a-days include Uranus and Pluto (not to mention poor little Chiron who has been 'officially' demoted). If the old atrologers had located these planets they would have incorporated them and probably assigned them to the Houses!
That said.... as I mentioned before, different approaches can give the same/similar results.

EDIT: Re. Frelkins 2nd Chart: Bees' attempt:
!st House: Knight Swords = he is worried.
6th House: Ace Swords = General health not good.
11th House - Knight Batons = group activities/concerns.
This is also the 6th from the Querents 6th - more specific condition of the health (?). If so:
This could be pinned down to his contact with a specific person (courts) with whom he is engaged in some group effort with. (Batons = effort/labour in 11th).
Aside from the 'passings' etc, (which we should really adhere to I suppose...). The 3rd House (lower mind) also has 6 Batons. Could mean that he's having problems with a way to mentally handle this person/issue - cannot achieve a satisfactory viewpoint from which to act (swords & batons = action (?))
O.K. Ready for the tomatoes.... (gonna make a rissotto, a tomatoey one)
