House

And that, I think, is an exceptional articulation of what it means to be queer.

And I've been reflecting a lot about this recently, which is that it could just be the current time, 'cause we're post marriage equality, theoretically, but I feel like queerness as of now is really de-centering the romantic relationship, and really making sure that we are in right relationship with friends and community in a much wider way, which is in of itself, I think, a beautiful way of thinking about maybe even the Sun in Cancer in the 8th House, which is, what level of 8th House transformation needs to be applied psychologically and with perceived limits around family? And to be honest with you, it's been really confronting for me in a powerful way, because the more that I, A, live alone, and B, maintain connection to my friends and community in New York City, there's a significantly less desire for a romantic partner.

And that's kinda confronting.

Mm-hmm.

I'm just so touched.

It's amazing.

And it's a trip too, because astrologically, the 4th House of the US chart is also a Jupiter ruled house.

It's Pisces, right?

The second thing is that the Aquarius rising, um, ascendant of Sepang is gonna square Mercury, uh, in Scorpio, and Venus, which is going to be retrograde in Scorpio 10th house.

So 10th house, public perception.

So this is when everyone's gonna say, "What the fuck was that?" Right? Not a private kind of discovery like, "What the hell was that?" Uh, you also got Mercury square Mars in the 7th House for this chart as well, so there's a lot of tension with teams really having to change things on a dime.

That could be weather-related.

It could be other things.

It's such a wildcard energy.

Um, so yeah, bizarre strategic chaos here.

Uh, the ruler, which is Saturn traditionally, is in the 3rd House, which again, 3rd house has domain over, uh, transport actually, uh, particularly sort of local parts.

All right, so we're gonna start first with my Aries and my Aries risings.

What's up, Aries? You guys are gonna be having a new moon in your opposite sign, so it's gonna be in your natal 7th House of relationships and partnerships.

So think of this as the once-a-year opportunity you get to have a clean slate when it comes to others.

Now, uh, for you guys, this could be partners.

This could be clients.

It could be the person who's across from you, and this is your yearly kind of relationship reset.

Now, Venus was also going to be retrograding from your 8th House into your 7th.

Right now it's still in your 8th House, so it's kinda touching on the topics of, uh, debt and sex and intimacy and money owed and what you give versus what you get, um, and who really holds the power in relationships, be that physically or financially.

So the sun story is my ninth house story, even though I don't have anything there.

And so if I go and look at the sun in my chart, I have a 10th house Virgo sun.

which means I'm going to take Ninth House topics and make them very visible in the Tenth House, which feels very resonant for me because everything we just talked about, I'm like, okay, astrology, I'm going to go talk about it in the Tenth House.

And divinatory practices, I'm going to go talk about it in the Tenth House now.

And publishing and writing books and all the things that I love, I just want to take all of those topics and make them very visible and oftentimes put them in written form.

Okay.

It also rules the unconscious, and this includes the shadows that we don't even know are there.

So while the 8th House includes the shadows we're willing to face and transmute, the 12th House holds the shadows that we can't see on the surface, where we might have to spend years in therapy or years on the meditation mat to even get a glimpse at.

It also holds acts of services that go unseen.

So where the 6th House is all about services we do for others in our daily life, our gifts, our offerings, the 12th House holds service that comes purely from compassion, that's often anonymous.

So it might be an intention or a thought that you send to a stranger.

It might be an anonymous donation.

It's the house, not necessarily that we hide in, but it's the house that we feel comfortable enough in to retreat and really return to our soul.

It also includes karma, and even past lifetimes of karma can show up here.

Planets move very, very slowly.

So again, we need to be asking the questions, what is it that you need to do? What is it that you want to deeply change about? Where are you at in your life at the moment? What needs to develop? Referring to the Susport House book.

We've got Neptune's bibbling about the place, but actually 26 and 27 are astrologically the most active years this year and next year.

We're looking at those high peaks on the transit rhythmogram.
