Ahhh thank you for reading and responding! It has honestly helped me so much to know that others relate to this experience, I feel so much less alone. Appreciate you deeply! 💗
thank you for being so open to sharing. your writing is absolutely phenomenal. you have an amazing way of making others feel seen, especially myself. 🤎
This read gave me all the feels specifically in this season of life. I feel like my perceived definition of home and what it takes to build such has been an ongoing journey of knowing grief, love, loneliness, and myself — deeply and sometimes to the end of isolation. I truly appreciated this read in the knowing that home is this body, this vessel I show up in. The love that I am sending you is infinite. 🫂✨💗
Thank you for reading and I’m soooo grateful to know that this met you in a place that supports your process in aligned time. That loneliness and isolation can feel so overwhelming. What a gift to recognize each other in this season, to remember together where home can be found. Sending that same infinite love back to you! 🫂✨💗
thank you for this essay and for sharing your feelings and thoughts ✨🫶🏻 I could relate so much with the part about not being able to ignore the body any longer because of severe pain. trying to find a home in myself and taking care of it is such a big challenge for me. Reading this really has put things into perspective. Thank you!
Thanks so much for reading, Stina! 🫶🏾✨ it is such deep work, and yes often so challenging and made more so because of the system under which we live. But the daily act of the attempt is, I think, where we are able to access our deepest power. I’m so grateful to connect with others who are in a similar place. Sending love to you and the home of your body!
This is absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching. This year I’ve also become infatuated with Saturn, as it’s conjuct my north node in the 8th house. Saturn is such a painful, wise, unstoppable force. In this piece I can tell that you are a student of Saturn, you’ve learned so much and endured his brutality. And in that, you are strong and knowing. I recently stumbled across chi too, and an online test said that mine was stagnant in the liver. I have chronic pain too so this piece is inspiring me to look deeper into chi and astrocartography. I am also inspired to be grateful for stagnation, because in an opposite way, I feel like I’ve been stuck in the same town for 20 years. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable story. I am going to remind myself that safety, love and home are always in my body, and not in external people or things.
Oh Alex, thank you so much for reading and sharing your own experience here! I find the parallels between our stories so fascinating, and also deeply heartening. Knowing that others are working with Saturn in similar ways really helps me to feel less alone. I wonder if you've had the same experience, but for me there's something so beautiful about how Saturn, as painful and hard as it is, offers an opening for a strength and wisdom that doesn't require sacrificing softness or vulnerability to access. It's really something. Saturn conjunct the north node in the 8th, whew! Are you familiar with sidereal astrology? I use that system and in it I have Saturn in the 8th, too! Pisces rising, so my 8th-10th houses are Libra, Scorpio (where I have Mars), and Sagittarius (where I have Jupiter). And I'd absolutely love to read the book excerpt you mentioned! Very grateful to have connected with you!
Of course!! I currently am mostly familiar with my tropical astrological placements, so I probably need to dabble in sidereal more to be knowledgeable. Your ninth house in Scorpio would make me think that you're philosophy and travels (9h themes) are very tied to the scorpionic cycles of death and rebirth. I have Scorpio in my first house, so I feel like I'm constantly making new identities and shedding old skin. It makes sense that you have moved so often, shedding skin over and over again. Your tenth house of destiny in Sagittarius, combined with Jupiter's presence, also makes sense to me. Maybe it is your destiny that you cannot be confined to one place; Sag is such an expansive, spontaneous, and adventurous sign. That placement also resonates with me because my moon is in Sag in both tropical and sidereal. I didn't expect this line up, but those two energies were very loud to me in this peace. And lastly, I'll DM you the piece I mentioned!
I am curious to know what the 8th and 9th and 10th houses of ur chart look like!! Also I found a book excerpt on Saturn that I think you’d enjoy reading.
It's like you read my mind down fren. lol a remarkable read 💕 thank you so much for sharing it 🫶🏽
