The almanac · the trio
One sky, three signs.
The sun is only the engine. Set the moon and the rising beside it and read what the three make together: nobody is a typical anything.
the three, at mid-sign · rising on the left horizon
A Scorpio engine, a Pisces tide, a Cancer door.
Scorpio sun · Pisces moon · Cancer rising
You are the friend people confess to. Your own confessions wait for the right moon.
A Pisces moon refuels underwater: music, sleep, the borrowed feelings of a good story. You absorb the day; you must also be allowed to drain it.
The face is a keel, the tide is a current: you look immovable and feel everything shifting. That gap is where people misread you; narrate it sometimes.
The internet writes Scorpio off as intensity looking for a target. With a Pisces moon the rumor is, for once, nearly aimed right; you are the concentrated pour. The corrective is not difference but depth: you do the thing, all the way down.
People lower their voices around you, as if you already know. The mask matches the face; what they meet at the door is what lives in the house.
In a room, you find the wall to put your back against, then make that corner a home. Off duty, it's the nap as a spiritual practice, and the film you have cried at twice. The first is the Cancer at your door; the second is the Pisces that lives in the house.
No door at all, just a beaded curtain: the weather inside is visible from the street. Choose your street with care.
Water cubed: engine, tide, and door all feel. The depth is bottomless and the sea wall optional; build one anyway.
A field guide, for whoever keeps trying: Come in soft; this door feels you before it hears you. Once inside, stay through the weather: love here is presence that doesn't flinch. Send it to the ones who knock.
Feed the moon first: water, music, one honest hour with the door shut. You refill from depth, not from rest.
