What would propel me to never sing, nor dance again? I realized within those last moments, the words that were conceived were from one of the 10 seals of heaven. And now without them, I feel One Without Signs, One Without Path, One Without Magic.  And I am all alone. So to the One Who Is With, and Is... I beg for the knowledge of the sea and stars. And I believe it said unto me, "You, with snake eyes, whom had it, and now without, would sneer and deceive with what you had. Now, you are without. How do you plead?" And I begged once more.

Double Trouble: Venus and Uranus in Retrograde  

As of July 25th, 2015 Venus will be turning into a retrograde period, not only is this terrifying but the following day Uranus follows into the retrograde period too. While the Venus Retrograde only lasts til September 6th, the Uranus Retrograde will last for a full 5 months. No one will be able to escape the grasp of this retrograde! It will most likely effect the Aries zodiac, followed by Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. The Venus Retrograde will cause love to be on everyone’s minds. This can play out in many different ways. Some of us will have the opportunity to meet someone totally unexpectedly and fall madly in love. Others could go through the process of repairing broken love. Lovers of the past can suddenly come back into the picture and new connections can take form. People that we never thought we’d connect to suddenly seem more attractive. The impossible becomes possible during this time. While this sounds promising things turn for the worst when Uranus comes into the picture.  Uranus, the gigantic ice planet is the ruler of rebellion, freedom, change and revolutions. Unlike some other planets Uranus is not a gentle retrograde, it is an abrupt and forceful one and it does not give up until we come face to face with areas of our life that desperately require change. Uranus is at its most powerful when retrograding and builds throughout the retrograde period until the internal energy will feel like an explosion. Overall Venus retrograde is a time for relationships to prosper, and Uranus is a time when transformations and secrets of the past finally come out into the light. Be careful what you may find, and what relationships you should keep and ones that need major reassessing.

What will I prefer to let unfold when it comes down to it? When it comes down to the sticky, black tar ends of it? The whole time just sitting with the aches and pains, and never understanding fully why. Why? Why has time uncoiled the snake? Why has the snake come for me, instead of its own tail? Has its appetite changed due to its growing age? The ever growing age that which takes me from one side of the world, to the other. I haven’t unraveled the words, lately. I have’t sewn up the letters together. There isn’t a canvas dry enough. The water swims above us, glowing under the greater sun. I am no Atlantis. The finalizing moments let me drown. No Merlin helped me float. No God to beg. And surely there were no King and King’s Guards to throw down their Emerald ropes to pull me out. Just the water’s vast, angry limbs. And when the Golden Ship came to take me back to Death, my old friend, I remember the last element: air. If only I could reach the sun, and come up for air. When finally, the sun came down after me, I had realized it was not the water that was pulling my lungs from my throat. It was the air, suffocating me. Heavy, smog like shadow of secrets that preferred holding my mouth and nose closed, over life. When it comes down to i t, what will I prefer for the air? The element I begged for when I thought it was the raging water bringing me to my death? The water snake, the Babylonian water-demon children, and the sneaky, slinking Water Goddess, Ceto, all no where to be found. Rather, I found a coven of wingless, shadows. I thought them to be muses, and found they were the last remaining fragments of hope. I pitied them, and allowed them to take me to the end. ——————————————————————————– “Old friend.” The same cold pieces of skin hanging from his bone, and the familiar smell of charming ash and incense.
