#lisa asks

Caution: her birth time would’ve clued us in more about the ‘foreigner’ part of her chart specifically, but since we don’t have her birth time I’m very limited on what I can say about her in this area. I hope you understand 💕

Let’s touch on her aspects, Lisa might have a T-Square in her chart. 

Note: I said might because it’s aspecting Scorpio - Aries- Capricorn and not Libra-Aries-Capricorn. The Scorpio placement is at 0′, and it is aspecting both the Aries and Capricorn. Since it’s aspected, it might be unconventional but I’d consider it a T-Square, because the result would still put Capricorn Neptune in the Apex position. 

With Capricorn Neptune | Scorpio Chiron (at 0′) | Aries Mercury. 

Aries Mercury and Scorpio Chiron are in opposition to each other (aspected) making Capricorn Neptune becomes the Apex of the T-Square.

The Apex of this T-Square is the point of ‘focus’ or where the pressure lies.

The individual with T-Squares in their chart may find themselves stressing the Apex in order to progress/fulfill their goals. Often times, T-Squares are action-oriented and possesses an incredible ‘drive’ to achieve. The stress factor is mostly mental/emotional strain. Manifestation of what and how they’re achieving their goals comes from what is in the Apex.

In this case, it’s Capricorn Neptune. With Capricorn Neptune we look at the Capricorn for what it is she wants to achieve (material success, long-term stability, expendable resource in the future) and the cardinal nature of the T-Square (Aries/Capricorn and what could’ve been Libra) points to a stress regarding identity.

Stress about identity in this regard is how the individual want achieve it through practical means. With Capricorn, it’s often through earning recognition, acknowledged accomplishments and material expressions of the self (like photos, fashion - tangible things)

This is the main source of stress for the individual, since Capricorn Neptune makes the individual yearn these successes but also fear them at the same time. It’s a dream/hope they want to accomplish, but sometimes they fear that it could come as  ‘too much, too fast, won’t last’ at the same time.

When it comes to the T-Square, it often points to an individual trait that is a bit unrestrained. There’s an ‘action-oriented’ nature to the person. It pushes them into impulsively taking the chance on achieving what’s in their Apex. In this case, there was no way to stop Lisa from what she perceives as ‘material success/long-term recognition’ — her career and moving to Korea for an opportunity at this. Is possibly a result of her Apex/Capricorn Neptune.

Now that we’ve established that Lisa is driven strongly by her Capricorn Neptune. Let’s look at the other square/opposition placements.  

With regards to Aries Mercury - square- Capricorn Neptune. There’s a possibility that she may have trouble with either over-processing her goals  (stressing it out) or finding ways to escape thinking about it. 

When aspecting Aries Mercury, this can also mean incredible concentrating power. When she shuts off her mind and just do something, it aligns the Capricorn and Aries together into a similar language (action-orientation) and thus– Capricorn brings actualization to Neptune’s idealization through Aries Mercury’s help.  

This is something she might have to learn, but in terms of ‘routine’ – this ‘routine’ might be her ‘escape’ from what it is she’s stressed about. Dancing, in particular, or focusing on the ‘now/work/achieving dreams’ help dissolve her stress in other areas of her life. 

With Scorpio Chiron - Square - Capricorn Neptune, it might give us a glimpse of what she fears/stresses about. Scorpio Chiron are self-empowered individuals. Often times, the main cause of pain might come from feeling powerlessness in themselves (and overcompensating for that) or fearing their own power/strength and trying to suppress it completely. 

Considering Lisa also has a Scorpio Moon, it might possibly be the latter. Scorpio Chiron can also point to pains regarding sudden loses/significant transformation in their life that impacted them emotionally/spiritually. As well as inheritance issues or fights for power/dominance. 

With Chiron, it’s always important to note how their pain can heal. Healing means they become stronger each time they break, and often more insightful and experienced as well. 

With Scorpio Chiron- squaring- Capricorn Neptune; Neptune that rules the intuition, dreams and creativity/spirituality may be blocked. The person can swing either way; they are extremely spiritual or they completely block themselves from spiritualism in order to gain ‘conventional’ success.

This means the individual can avoid ‘realities’ they associated to their stress. A spiritual person can avoid ‘reality’ by resorting to spiritual means, while a ‘realist’ might avoid spiritualism by appearing to be a very pragmatic, logical and rational kind of person. Interactions/merging of the two can happen, but often time it reaffirms the individual’s discomfort with the ‘reality’ they’re avoiding and leaves them feeling ‘hurt’ or ‘don’t belong’ more. 

Too much of something leads to a ‘break down’ eventually. Chiron-square-Neptune points to over-indulgence in order to ‘relax’ the tension. For the person themselves, not suppressing their Neptune/Chiron can be hard to do. But learning how to relax Chiron first can point to better understanding, and then possibly eventually supporting their Neptune later.  

As for Scorpio Chiron - opposition - Aries Mercury, this talks about communication and considering the two Mars-dominant signs– the ability to communicate/teach through demonstration or action. 

Chiron in opposition to Mercury points to someone who can want to communicate something, but the point they got across is something they didn’t mean to say. Or thinking they aren’t communicating properly, but the other person got it instantly. It’s a misalignment of desiring to teach/heal (Chiron) and their under/over-estimation of their communication abilities. 

In Conclusion:

What I’m trying to imply here, is that Lisa may be focusing more on her ‘escape’ (Neptune) by single-mindedly blocking herself off from ‘distractions’ (Chiron/Neptune) in order to achieve her dreams (alignment to Neptune). 

She does this by exerting herself in other areas (Aries/Capricorn Neptune) that may point to being somewhat ‘productive’ to her goals (Mercury/Neptune) So she doesn’t have to face an aspect of her ‘reality’ (Neptune) and her personal ‘demons’ that haunts her mind/emotions (the T-Square). 

Sometimes, xenophobia/prejudice can be something much simpler to solve in your everyday life if there are other stress factors you may find personally challenging to your immediate well-being.  

 **Xenophobia does happen and is still a very big problem. But from what we can tell, facing xenophobia or prejudice from Korea is something she has knowledge of and is still willing to take the chance anyways. What she’s escaping from is –to her – a far bigger problem to her mental/emotional health than xenophobia/prejudice right now. 

Lisa has an incredible tenacity to her and a ‘water-off-my-shoulder’ disposition (Scorpio/Aries). This may apply to her happy-go-lucky attitude and where it came from, considering how the T-Square is unstable when it could’ve been the Grand Cross.    

A way to help the T-Square is to see that ‘missing house/sign’ in the opposition to Capricorn. Which would point to Cancer.

Cancer represents a lot of things, but it also talks about emotionality, the home, mother/childhood, femininity and therefore– the lack thereof in the individual. 

I’m implying a lot of things here and it’s getting into the dangerous territory. So I’m going to stop here.

With regards to routine, again it has to do with her natural perseverance and determination to see her goals achieved/fulfilled. The main motivation to stay focused/concentrated comes from that Capricorn Neptune, and it’s well-supported by her Aries placements. 

Ending Note

This probably isn’t what you were expecting when you sent in the ask, and this isn’t what I was expecting when I started answering this ask either. 

I really wanted to go into  talking about prejudice and culture and all that good stuff but we kind of need their birth-time to look at how ‘others’ are impacting them (rather than how they ‘react’ to the others - which is largely a part of the placements themselves *with regards to specifics being in their aspects/houses that can shift/change)
