We all have Pisces somewhere in our chart. In what house does this take place for you? Where do the Piscean Waters beckon you to mind the threads and values which bind us together?
The sign of the fishes reminds us that, for all our material wealth, we remain powerless before the sacred longing that urges us to seek divinity and embrace the spiritual experience of devoting ourselves to a grander vision.
Jupiter knows that dissolving the self does not mean disappearing. Rather, it is the realization that every single life is woven into a greater whole. Pisces inherently knows this and lives in devoted service to it.
Pisces is ruled by jupiter. Jupiter who represents the threads and values which bind us together – honesty, generosity, faith, freedom, law, and morality.
Piscean waters represent the liminal ocean which blurs the lines between self and the other — a sprawling, rolling, blue mantle
Nothing is shallow in Pisces. The sign of the fishes is not a superficial tidepool, but a fathomless oceanic trench. In Pisces we find a limitless capacity to love– to feel a sacred calling and heed it, dedicate the self to it, day after day.
And yet, here I am. I am so thankful for my lucky stars.
I had an overwhelming realization of how truly, deeply blessed I am. I really shouldn't be here, living this life, telling these stories. Folks that know me and my family history know what I mean.
Others felt like a soothing balm which brought closure to things I've been unpacking and working through in therapy for 2+ years. Yesterday when I was at one of the historic hammams, lying on the heated marble slab, staring at the skylights, while I was getting washed,
One big difference is the parans. Stockholm puts me on a Venus line. Y'all, I can catch it and I am a catch there. Istanbul, however, is a Pluto/Moon crossing, and I felt that in multiple ways. Some were not very nice.
My relocated chart moves my moon to the 9H and Pluto to my 3H in Stockholm and Istanbul.
Both of these cities moved me spiritually. I'm still unpacking some of my learnings from Instanbul, but my time in Stockholm rooted my faith. I spent most of my free time in holy spaces and churches and exploring divinity in both of these cities.
Not here. Turns out my relocated chart in both of these cities puts my Mars right on top of my ascendant. Of course. (There's also some not so good stories to this, but that's for another day.)
Both of these cities make me feel like I am coursing with electricity. I am up EARLY and up all night, which is not like me at all. Usually, I am out like a rock and can easily sleep 10-12 hours.
I realized that my time in Istanbul reminds me a lot of my summer abroad in Stockholm. So I decided to compare what's going on with my astrocartography.

As you move through the rest of Capricorn season, take stock of your feelings and the soft nudges. Pay attention to the downloads and the quiet intuitive whispers taking place in the Capricorn house of your chart.
Remember, Venus in Capricorn is focused on building lasting value, pleasure, and love through patience, depth, and the quiet integration of material reality with spiritual and emotional wisdom. Mars in Capricorn is willing to take the time and investment to see his works through.
However, the moon is void a lot this Capricorn season. Trying to make something new happen while the moon is void is a Sisyphean task. Rather than trying to force the cazimi revelations and step right into action, take some time to sit with what is unfurling.
This week Venus and Mars enter the heart of the Sun. Now we get to the heart of the matter.
At the peak moment of being consumed and burned up, the planet finds true strength and a way forward. This is a purification, a rebirth.
When a planet is cazimi, it is said to be in the heart of the Sun. It is "like a person sitting with the king in one chair."
However, this process is akin to a cleansing. Impurities are burned back and the planets are stripped down to their core.
The Sun is extremely hot. It burns up anything that gets too close to it. In astrology, as planets move closer to the Sun, they are said to be blinded, inflamed, and weakened.
We're talking about all of this over on Heavens and Hearth on Patreon -- a field guide for the wild, the wise, & the wandering covering astrology, ancestral magic, and animism.
So, what should you do during a void of course moon? Void moods are a perfect time to rest and recuperate, to let the ideas come to you, and to move as slowly as the season is beckoning.
When the moon is void things remain as they have been. The Universe is said to be resting her pen; what already is will continue to be.
Occasionally, there will be a gap of time when the Moon doesn't aspect (or see) any other planet: this is called a void of course Moon. A void moon is a pregnant pause.
