As Jupiter is about to conjunct Venus, Sirius, Canopus, and follow the Lion's Gate on 8/8 and the full moon in Aquarius thrown in the mix...
There is an emphasis on speech. Speaking beautifully. Giving yourself to those who speak beautifully. There is something lovely about speech when one balances content with manner. How something is being said gives the listener the information they need. And those who learn when their emotions are aroused can receive as much as possible and not be turned off by the lack of aesthetic or love in what is said.
Love, Venus, becomes the impulse and you don't put energy towards something you don't truly love. Not in speech, or in what you hear.
Today is reserved for you to fill your heart.
Tomorrow will likely be consumed with chores or cleaning, so reserve some of today for something that will make you smile.
The beauty of boxes is that it is personal. You get to open it. You have to be at the right angle to see what's inside. And the gift giver can choose how to adorn the box or not to keep the contents a mystery. The gift becomes an experience. A story seed meant to either continuing loving road trip, jump-starting love, or repairing love's flattened tire. The stories "of we" have a gift of pulling the narrative out of your body and mind and into a shared space. And if you are attracted to this, consider how to go about planting seeds for it.
What we do not water or seed goes to death. But death is OK if it helps us see what can weather our storms. And know what is truly for us. This is a day to measure this. What or who do I love and adore now? Who would I spend time with if they asked? What would I love to do for 1 hour if I only had that much free time? Hike in the woods? Favorite cafe? Done and done. Keep this in mind though.
Love yourself just like that with the speed of a falcon. Don't feel like you physically have to be anywhere to love either. Sometimes the fast ways to show love are just right. Call, text, letter (wait that is slow), all are good and beautiful. Sometimes the abrupt feeling of love helps derail a bad mood.
Write as your voice, but consider writing in a style different than yours. Write like a detective, screenwriter, police officer, preacher, teacher, or ominous creature.
This is the month where things open up. New ways to navigate feelings, ideas, emotions. Hidden abundances of secrets, dreams, and esoteric wisdoms ring with a clear tone. If we catch it, we may stumble on new territory that will delight us.
There is a false notion of the church just being where you go. The church... or place of devotion and honor is also within you. And you owe it to yourself as little divine breaths to speak prayers for yourself. That you might find out more about how love can renew you and grow closer to appreciating yourself and others more.
