Mother and Hermes

I thought I would add some real life experiences from my own natal chart in a few blog posts. What makes me laugh about astrology charts is that at times they can be frustratingly hard to decipher, and yet at other times clearly state something in the indvidual’s life. In my natal chart I have Moon conjunct Mercury in Pisces 7th square to Neptune in Sagittarius 4th. My mother is having a relationship with a man much younger than her, and they are planning to move abroad together.

If we break it down:

• Astrologically the Moon relates to Mother.
• Mercury describes our intellectual side, but also younger people. It represents youth, and refers to Hermes in mythology.
• The 7th house is the house of relationships, public, associates.
• Neptune in Sagittarius in 4th says something about home, family life and Neptune rules the sea. Sagittarius is known as the travelling sign whether mentally, spiritually, or physically there is a need to broaden our horizons.

Neptune in 4th

I am always dreaming of the perfect home. My head is in the clouds as I  imagine the ideal way I would love my home to be. I am constantly dissatisfied, and I wish that I had more money and practicality to make it ideal. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, and often individuals with Venus in the 4th house have created the beautiful home, and mine only exists in my imagination. My sister has a 4th house Neptune and she is good at keeping her home nice, but she also has Mars in Capricorn 4th along with Neptune, and this helps with practicality and motivation.

My mum and her younger partner are searching and dreaming of finding a home abroad their “place in the Sun”. My dreams are closer to home, but still feel just as far away. Pisces, the 12th house and Neptune can be described as ”Paradise Lost” and we often have dreams of regaining our spiritual connectedness through our Neptune placement. My home is where my divine discontent exists, it lives alongside my dream of creating the perfect environment.
