asteroid isis in astrology
isis is the asteroid of devoted reassembly. she sits in the place of your chart where you have a holy patience for things that have fallen apart. people with strong isis placements often have an instinctive ability to gather scattered pieces, of a relationship, of a project, of a person, of themselves, and to put them back together with care. she is not the rescuer. she is the witness, the gatherer, the one who refuses to let something be lost.
