The Alchemist

The strength

Neptune given force by Pluto. The strongest Pisces by a distance — the compassion is intact but there is steel under it now. You survive things that would end other people and come back changed rather than damaged, and you can genuinely help others through the same passage.

The difficulty

Extremes. This decan does not do moderate — the devotion, the withdrawal, the reinvention all arrive at full scale. You are drawn to intense situations and sometimes create one when life has gone quiet.

In love

Profound and total. You do not love lightly and cannot pretend to; a partner gets all of it, including the parts most people keep for themselves.

At work

Psychotherapy, medicine, recovery work, art that goes to difficult places, research into what people avoid. You are useful exactly where others cannot stay.
