The 13th<\/sup> January as Mutable Fire Venus octiles Cardinal Earth Pluto<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ah, the complex weave that you spin along the path of the\nHeart. Love battles with lOve; friendship battles between unconditional\nacceptance and conditional expectation; lovers merge, their bodies becoming\none, but yet remain alone and lonely, distracted by their own unloveableness,\nunable to truly feel the love of another; families care for each other, yet\nhurt each other deeply; trusted confidants listen intently yet get caught in\ntheir own process, assumptions and projections; your heart aspiring to\nsurrender yet is brought down by longing and yearning. Yet, aspire you must;\nprocess you will; awareness you seek, as you lift your heart up and seek to\nmetamorphose from those darkened inner boreholes down which you could fall into\na blackened abyss. Compassion is the only option to the true intimacy you seek,\nas it creates a bridge between you and \u2018other\u2019, helping you step outside your\nown perspective and egoic desires, enabling you to be attentive yet vulnerable,\nstrong yet humble, as love transmutes to lOve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
