How these two meet
You decide fast and then it is decided, and you each like that about the other more than either has ever said.
The difficulty arrives eighteen months later, when the thing you decided is no longer the right thing and neither of you has the equipment to notice.
Aries started it. Aquarius took the position and holds it. What is absent between a cardinal sign and a fixed one is the mutable modality, and mutable is the one that reads the room and quietly changes course.
Nobody here reads the room. You have both been proud of that for years.
Mars runs 2.13 years between reversals, the longest gap of any planet. Saturn is retrograde 36.4 per cent of the time and arrives in the same place regardless. Two bodies that do not adapt, ruling two signs that do not adapt.
So when it goes wrong it does not go wrong gradually. It holds, and holds, and then something breaks all at once and you are both surprised.
For Aries, the work is reopening one decision that is already made, and not defending having made it.
For Aquarius, the work is saying that the circumstances changed, out loud, before the position becomes indefensible.
And a third: somebody has to be the one who notices. Neither of you is going to be good at it and one of you has to do it anyway.
The question
What has either of you changed your mind about since this began?
One conscious action
one decision, reopened
Take one thing decided over a year ago and ask, without arguing, whether it is still the right thing.
Not whether it was right then. Whether it is right now. Those are different questions and this house only ever asks the first.
Nothing between you has ever drifted, which everybody you know would envy, and neither of you has ever had to say the sentence about having been wrong.
So what is still standing here only because nobody has looked at it?
