I´m repeating the chapter about planets manifesting certain things. So, just to make it clear:
A card in 5th or 7th position is in some way averted(5th) or delayed or taken away, or is a "should not" (7th). Now, if there is a manifesting planet in that card, it means that it´s going to manifest anyway, right? So that´s a contradiction? (Which I know is a part of astrology.)
Also, if a self factor like the Lagna or the X falls in an "avoided" card, it means that even though it´s averted or delayed, in some other way it will play out - is that the right way to understand it? Or any cusp falling in that card - in that area of life it will in some way manifest or play out, even though the main indication is "averted"?
Like for example: a friend of mine is a King of Hearts and has 6D as her Saturn card. "Don´t mind about worldly things like luxury etc" would be my advice to such a person. But then she has factors for being a photographer in that card, I don´t remember exactly which, but among them is Venus, so she´s a fantastic wedding photographer, working at a high level with wealthy people. So the luxury card is manifested in her life, yet avoided since she has no personal interest at all in such a life style, rather she lives a remarkably humble life.
Do I get it right?

(Just checked my friends card that I find really interesting. Her lagna, Sun, Mars (light - photography) and Mercury (communication and hustling) is in her 4C Mars card with her 4th, 5th and 12th cusp), that´s the foundation for the photography I guess. Her style is very very based on her own emotions, very subjective (4th house), and very much "let go" of things (12th); she sacrificies normal factors in photography like focus, composititon and everything, it´s a very "piscean" style). In her 6D Saturn card we find her Venus and Jupiter though; the marriage factors in the luxury card; so funny enough her customers are mostly wealthy people; and yes, her photography is very artistic and highly appreciated.

The 8S on her Uranus card makes it impossible for her to hurry up though, so she takes forever to finish a wedding... For that reason she doesn´t do more than a few every year and makes her living working with elder people and as a teacher.)
anytime the 5th card manifests it also manifests a CHANGE that is very significant. the lagna in the 5th card means a change to ones direction in respect to the card there, the 10th cusp there a change in one's actions in respect to the card there.
and yes ,you got that example right.
@ernst That is so good to take into the equation. Of all the cards the 5th, 7th and 13th tend to be the hardest to understand I think, and the greasiest one tends to be the Jupiter card. It´s always a coming and going, a yes and yet a no. Takes quite some training to fully understand - if we can ever do that. For me it´s like a trickster placement, life is making fun of us on that position.
