THANK YOU FOR THIS - I normally keep your words for a weekend when I can bask in them, but I *needed* to read this tonight, and omg it did not disappoint. You know my chart, you know my own Jupiter and Venus aren't flow-y and beautiful-y and while I was excited about this transit, I can see why (so far) it's feeling like it does. I was worried the good stuff skipped me, but unfortunately the good stuff is some *sigh* (sorry to use this word) ...self-care... and boundaries. This was a needed balm for a week that is on fire so far. I LOVE YOU

Loved your post- thank you. Benefics and Malefics, oh my! I cannot tell you how many negative comments I have received in regards to my “poorly” placed Venus and Mars. But you know, I have to live. I have to put one foot in front of the other. If these two in detriment are a part of one’s makeup, so be it. I have to make the best of it.

Emilie, you are a poet. Your words don't just inform, they make us feel. That last paragraph brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you for this balanced and as always beautiful take on a transit that is often oversimplified! As one of the ones in a season of grief, these words are a port in a storm ⚡️

Cancer ♋ who's been actively working on getting out of the house and has had some assistance from the stars in an unexpected and what could be seen as unpleasant experience, but I've worked on being grateful even for the things I was least grateful for and made it through into a new place, a new attitude, a new way to experience the same world. So I'm excited about the future for the first time in a long time. I'm okay with everything not being perfect because it's almost better than if it were, the fact that I have the opportunity, the chance to change myself, gives me hope for the future, because if I can change, if I can overcome adversity and incorrect views then anyone can given the right prompts and star codes. Together we can make something different and awesome for the future, even if you get to the point where you are unable to trust yourself, you can make it through, the universe is conspiring in our favor, we just need to be willing to accept the things we are unwilling to accept with gratitude to free ourselveves. My experience with Helene and the destruction it wrought showed me that even in destruction good may come.
