Fixed Water Venus slows in preparation for her Quickening Descent octile the Sun-Neptune midpoint<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

7 and 26 days to go\u2026<\/p>\n

As she slows, her heart is becoming increasing reflective, aware that there is not much time left to heal, as her journey nears the end. Echoing through her are the willowy phantasms of lOve past, quietly arising within those vulnerable moments, tempting her to react in a way that honours the person who she has been, as opposed to who she is now. Memories of past love \u2013 joys and sorrows \u2013 flood through her, as she tries not to focus on the physical but on the deeper, underlying themes that have pervaded her consciousness over the past year and a half. Fleeting through her heart-mind are the unspoken frustrations of lOving consciously as she has been ever so vigilant of those lingering heart-thought forms that have not been fully healed, forms that puppeteer those in her life to collude with her to \u2018test\u2019 whether she truly has integrated the scripts that she have previously healed or whether she are merely cognitively conscious of them.<\/p>\n

Will she keep high when she can swing low? Will she step back and bind yourself further to her karma? Or will she see through the messenger and the darkened form that desperately hopes to re-enslave her?<\/p>\n

Testing and tiring, but these times offer profound liberation of her heart and soul, as the egoic structures that house her reality dissolve.<\/p>\n
