The Venus Diary

Fixed Water Venus Gestates Somewhere, floating formlessly within a swirling, spiralling, holographic sea of endless and boundless possibility, reaching across immeasurable space and countless time lines, the singular note momentarily quivers producing a faint, almost inaudible murmur. Imbued with the quality of its essence, this nascent countermelody is the same, but different. Hinting of harmony,…

The Venus Diary

Fixed Water Venus is conceived and starts to gestate Every dawn, like every conception, carries with it not only the hOpe of a new start, but an anxiety of what will come to pass as your mind projects forward into the ever moving stream of time from where you have previously moved through.

The Venus Diary

Dark Venus In a world that favours the bright and dazzling colours, the dark has developed many negative and fearful associations and it conjures up images of concealment, loss, isolation, madness, failure, grief and the demonic shadow.

The Venus Diary

Darkened Fixed Water Venus prepares to unite with the Fixed Water Sun 5 days… With every downward step, her past, wringing with such emotional intensity rises to meet her, gorging deeper than ever before, salt on her hurt, no balsam in reach, those memories standing tall, messing with her heart.
