Retrogrades, a mutual reception and malefics are going to tell the story in this chart.
The querent's ruler, the Moon, is in the 8th house and seriously combust the Sun. Clearly she is desperate for money, especially with Pluto having just descended. The 4th house rules the properties she's trying to sell, and with Makemake, Haumea, Juno, and ESPECIALLY Saturn all retrograde in there, she's going to have a very hard time selling the property, and needs to reconsider. Remember, when Saturn is retrograde in the house of the matter inquired about, things rarely work out. Makemake retrograde in there affirms it--she needs to wait a bit for some other changes to happen in her life. Saturn is also opposing Eris, giving the querent a great deal of strife over the situation and the career moves she'd like to make after a possible sale. Saturn, as ruler of the 7th house, also rules a potential buyer, so clearly there is nothing on the horizon for this deal to work. The Saturn-Eris-Varuna T-square with the outlet leg in the 7th house of a potential buyer (and the struggle and difficulty to find one in the current market) pretty much negates the whole situation.
Looking at the ruler of the 4th house, Mercury, it is void of course at the end of Capricorn, dispositing back to the Retrograde Saturn in the 4th house of the property. Going back to the querent's ruler, the Moon, it disposits to Uranus at the end of Pisces and in the 10th house of career, and mutually recepted with and semi-sextile Neptune in the 9th, and neither are retrograde. So, there is an out.
Uranus-Neptune, and the rest of the chart, is telling the querent to stay put and focus on her career for awhile longer, as circumstances are beyond her control with the real estate market to not only try and sell the house, but to not sell it for a loss (Mercury also rules the 12th, and the Sun-Moon combustion is affecting her 2nd house of income).
So what was the outcome? From a friend of the querent:
She decided not to sell her house and to stay put. So she is still traveling a lot for projects and project potentials [for her work].
If you want to look at additional details or extra confirmation, you'll notice Mercury is on the Venus-Neptune midpoint, so the disappointment wouldn't be lethal. Vesta, ruler of the home, is squaring Neptune, but more importantly, is in an out-of-sign sextile to Vesta, showing that something has to change in the querent's life before a deal can happen. The Moon is also quincunx the ASC, again indicating an adjustment to the original idea. North Node in the same degree as Vesta also affirms staying put. Varuna in the 1st house and retrograde also shows the reasons for selling need to be reevaluated, as hinted by its square to Eris in the 10th.
This chart is a lesson in not falling for the traditional horary astrology myth that the Moon's aspects are ultra-important. Other factors in the chart can and do seriously outrank what the Moon is doing, even when the Moon is a significator. For example, the Moon's applying trine to Saturn Rx in the 4th is not going to even come close to sealing the deal for the querent--on the contrary, it will make her rethink her reasons for wanting to sell, and how realistic her chances are for getting the price she wants (not likely with the Sun in detriment in Aquarius in the 8th house). So never let traditional horary "rules" get in the way of an accurate--and obvious--interpretation.
