Is my friend single now?
Context:
I have a friend who I have lost touch with, partly due to his relationship with this woman. Part of the reason we drifted apart was because our friendship caused unease in their relationship. From the last time we spoke, he always expressed how he was unhappy but from the last time we talked, they were still together. I saw his profile & it seems that they have broken up. I'm hesitating to reach out because I don't want to cause trouble in any case.
Signifcators:
As the querent, I take 1L and Jupiter as my cosignifier in this case because of the interception in the 1 & 7 Hs. I am fallen in aries as Saturn, which shows that I'm not really that present in my friend's life; and in the context of this question, I'm not in a spot to ask someone who would have the answer.
My friend's signifiers are the Sun & Mercury in Taurus; currently in a cazimi. that separating sextile between Jupiter and the Sun conj Mercury which is expressed in 3 degrees accurately shows the length of time since we last spoke.
The woman who may or may not be his ex is Gemini venus in this chart. I think that venus being in Gemini, which is a mutable sign reflects how my understanding of their situation being unclear. It's also a sign where my signigicator is in fall, which reflects the limit of my connection to her as well.
Interpretation:
That both his & the woman's signifiers are in each other's rulership actually has me confused. It's technically mutual reception but the planets are both also peregrine. Their signifiers make no aspect; or will take a full 30 degrees to make another conjunction. But also that they're internalizing saturn feels tricky to me, which probably is accurate for where they both are.
For me, they might not be in a formal relationship but they have to maintain an appearance of civility; plausibly something practical necessitates this given the decan of both planets.
The moon could have technically been a third signifier for me, but I'm not so sure it should be considered since I have two already. In this case as my ruler, it being in an applying aspect in 1 degree to the woman's signifier may give clarity in whatever that unit of time that translates to.
