Thank you for your help with those. I never knew that a sign of the zodiac is also a house. You learn something every day!

I'll have a think about the remaining two.

I agree with you that the answer must be LICIT but I can't understand the 'Not so' part of the clue.

Perhaps someone can enlighten me.

Hi elephant
Are you too young to remember the song "Aquarius" from "Hair"?

"When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!"
