A challenging square from Venus to Pluto has been building all week, have you felt it? Venus in Libra, longing for harmony and connection, antagonized by Pluto’s need to strip away artifice and the niceness which Libra craves. That square aspect peaks today and offers an opportunity to face those hard truths and still hold onto the beauty. This poem speaks perfectly to that tension and I hope you enjoy it! 💖


“Being alive,
it seems,
means learning to bear the weight of the passing of all things.

It means finding a way to lightly hold all the places we’ve loved and left anyway,

all the moments and days and years that have already been lived and lost to memory,

even as we live
on in the here and now,
knowing full well
that this moment,
too,
is already gone.

It means,
always,
allowing for the hard truth
of endings.

It means,
too,
keeping faith in beginnings.”
