moon and north node in your 9th i think can help you resolve foreign culture and writing issues. i think the square between your moon and your 12th house pluto and mercury may be worth focusing on. it has a wide orb, but the way you are describing things makes me think it is relevant. if you think about "moon issues," especially in the context of a pluto and mercury square, i think you may have a better time resolving communications issues, if that makes sense.

regarding my business, the basic idea is this:

1. create a community site about a given topic. it could be anything: cooking italian food, learning to play guitar, learning a foreign language, etc
2. there is a blogger that is the moderator of the community, sort of like a community president. they scour the web for good content on that topic: good youtube channels, good blogs, etc
3. all that content gets imported in automatically
4. the blogger then gives the content meaningful tags
5. the blogger and the community then find all the good products related to the topic of their community; i.e. good books, tools they can use, etc
6. this is the basis for a filtered storefront that sells good products
6. this creates a community that has filtered and reorganized the web in relation to a niche topic

we then combine all these sites to create a new search engine, and to allow easy cross-promotion -- so that a member of one site can easily become a member of other relevant communities, and can have a single identity across all these communities.

it may be a bit tough to conceptualize if you are not an internet person. one company that is kinda sorta similar is ning.com. they let you setup your own social network -- your own site like myspace or facebook. i am trying to do something similar, although we are catering to more professional bloggers, and are trying to help them build a passionate community that they can monetize. ning prides itself on ease of use; anyone can setup their own social network on ning in under 30 seconds, so people like local church communities, township sports teams, and stuff like that will find ning to be useful.

with regards to the 11th house, i think an 11th house stellium like what you and i have can help one understand group psychology -- i.e. the psychology of a subculture. in my opinion 11th house isn't the best at conformity or participation in the mainstream, but it can understand what makes a small culture click. or at least i hope so, because a key part of marketing my sites will be understanding how to build a small culture and how to make it "click."
