Jas also wanted to clarify that she said my 10th house was in Pisces, but it is actually my 4th house. (Her, self diagnosed, mental astro chart dyslexia coming into play here). So this season is highlighting my place of ancestry, home and family. There is a reflexive thing that happens here though where those roots and inner foundations absolutely influence the opposite 10th house external foundations of life's work, reputation and visibility.
