Astrology in my world: Sunday tribe poetry
“Tell your story.
Shout it. Write it.

I have four planets in those degrees, including my own Saturn/Sun conjunction. This Saturn/Sun conjunction is a rough challenge that often brings a deep sense of loneliness and isolation. The beauty though of Saturn is that if you can live through the difficult early years, the years after midlife are so much easier. I […]
