s/o to everyone who is still tryin to heal from things that they don’t talk about
Victims of Venus:
Aries: Venus in detriment. The war is won by catching the heart of true love. But one can struggle to let go of this need to dominate and secure the prize, squeezing until it breaks, and not realising that a heart can be captured by the valour of the conquest, but keeping ahold requires something more tender
Virgo: Venus falling. Pleasure involves some form of self-destruction. Highly critical of the physical appearance, sometimes resulting in self-punishing behaviour. Learning to love their flaws so they can love freely and fully in Libra
Scorpio: Venus in detriment. Socially, one can have the impression that other people are talking about them or purposely keeping something hidden. Can ultimately betray themselves by refusing to trust other people and therefore self-obstructing their opportunities to form the deeply meaningful connections they desire
the dagger that springs outward from aries is a rod of creativity, but it can turn inward as a weapon of destruction. there is a war inside, with two armies fighting for dominance, and the aries is left spiralled in the crossfire. both opponents demand to know ‘whose side are you on?,’ but in either case the final victim tends to be the aries. this is how aries learns to become the last person standing, nothing the world could wage compares to the inner life. it’s also quite lonely when there is no-one else left, and aries know loneliness well, they don’t talk about it much. they were born alone, and the childhood and early life tends to be lonely in some way
scorpios desire to be understood is self-deceptive because they know the energies, forces, and symbols that flow through them cannot be articulated or known by the limitations of the mind. it reveals the cardinal longing for the warm body by their side that makes them feel less alone and disconnected, the intimacy that makes time stop, and the impassioned emotional entanglements that manage to touch the closest thing inside they could describe as “I”, - something incomprehensible glowing in a striking momentary silhouette
scorpio is the black mirror that catches people’s dark projections in a bottomless murky river. the scorpio’s reflection reveals the monster in apparition, the sinister and disintegrated shadows that belong to the people who refuse to acknowledge or accept the duality of their true nature, qualities never belonging to scorpio. but scorpios confront these reflective monsters regardless, and sometimes the constant association with the immoral and malicious dynamics of human nature becomes a condition they identify with. true or not, sometimes people who are constantly reminded how difficult, depraved, or bad they are begin to adopt and prove these characterisations correct. scorpios also lose a part of themselves when they do this, the healer and the saint is usually a force more present.
scorpio is mesmerising, hypnotic incense carnal, sexual, emotional, loving, evolutionary, intelligent, and beyond words. it’s a concoction of mysterious and magic cosmic mixes that must be discovered, known, and tamed or else they will be taken hostage by forces that seem larger than personal will.
scorpio has to own their rawness and inability to shake that sense of aloneness. they have to intensify the sound of their soul, vibration, and name as loud as it goes and prove the false illusions of those projections.
the Lord of the Underworld refuses to accept anything less. if you longed for another life, he would probably reply that you would be far worse to be anything else,
and to stand dignified in your own body and eternal being with the secret knowledge that you conduct this all, otherwise the Lord of the Underworld will likely give up and assume you have already spiritually died. scorpio cannot be understood, and if people try to understand it will never be in the way that scorpio wants, trying to interpret this with a brain and language and it can only real be seen and felt on the insideC
“I am a risk taker and a mess maker. I’m confident at doing just about anything, but I am not made for desk sitting, my mind craves action and novelty I’m not as grown up as people think”— Aries
the fixed signs, taurus, leo, scorpio, and aquarius are hesitant to let new people into their close inner circle. they are defensive and react harshly to the intrusion of their inner world. so they can appear quite distant or disinterested at first, and seem to take a fair amount of time to warm to people. this is because the fixed signs develop deep and enmeshed attachments, they hold on and they don’t let go. there is profound loyalty, respect, and sense of pride for those who remained committed to breaking down their walls. those who have been allowed entry into the heart of a fixed sign stain it like a permanent tattoo, they will honour and defend such people as if their own lives depended on it
