Well that explains the tears and the linkedin closure.

 "Venus is retrograde! Over the next 40 days, the planet of love and money retraces its way through the sign of Leo, a sacred journey within that asks that we reevaluate our relationships as well as what we invest time and money in.⁠

⁠

In Leo, we may be navigating deeper themes around the value of who we are in relationships. Are we valued by our partner? Do other people see us for who we really are? How do we get our own wants and needs and desires met by others?⁠

⁠

Venus in Leo also loves to be loved and this retrograde may ask us to be more receptive to the romance of life as well as the affections of others.⁠

⁠

In classic Venus Retrograde form, we may see an old lover resurface or a previous relationship come to the forefront in order to restart the connection or tie up loose ends. ⁠

⁠

And just a reminder. All planets turn retrograde, except for the Sun and the Moon. Venus turns retrograde the most infrequently ... every 18 months. Retrogrades are a yin phase, a time to pull inward and reflect on the past and, in some cases, work out something from the past that hasn't been working.⁠ Venus will be retrograde until September 4, 2023." empowering astrology

That was the crime.

It was the year of 1805, the last war had ended, and now the murdered men, with their empty eyes were returning. Each day one would see the long lines of the trembling broke, carrying their bent legs and filthy rags, back into the city. The towns folk would stand to watch them in silent applause, as the grocers, and the other good men who had stayed; mustachioed and portly,in their crisp waistcoats,  saved from the ravages of time; glared back in indifference at these un-intact, dismembered men; whose psyches were tattered and worn. For they had seen the evil of their days, in vast standing cannons, that had pointed out from mean impressive hills, polished black, before their quarry, like, unruly gods, and generals of battles, unceasingly raining their horror to the ground. There the men, far away from everything, had huddled in their burrows, the mud climbing in with the lice and the flies, as the dead stood the hours of the seasons, from dense heat, to thick cold; from night and day, until the weeks like the maggots, turned them over to a generalised rotted, sod; and all pervasive burrowing- breaking down rot. In these hovels of dirt, Side by side, the living would plead with their fallen comrades, who now gathered as invisible witnesses, telling the sacraments of their mass; until the living too, longed for the place beyond life. Until one day, suddenly, it was over. The tide, like the world, had changed, the crimson was no longer needed. And so these last bones of men, had picked up their packs with their rifles, in a desecrating weakness. And on uneven legs, that stood un-fast, had hobbled the long lost way back to home again. MB

The strange paradox of the human condition is that what comforts doesn't always heal and what heals is often uncomfortable.

Saturn in Pisces: Sign by Sign

March 6, 2023

Saturn, the planet of lessons and structure, will spend 2023-2026 in the sign of Pisces, a sign that seems, at first glance, at odds with Saturn’s hard boundaries. As a result, we’ll have to learn to go beyond the borders of our physical world and into our dreams.

Libra or Libra Rising — Health, diet, wellness, daily living, work. Time to get down to earth. Saturn’s time, from 2023 to 2026, pushes you to get serious about your health and wellness, from making positive changes to diet and fitness to addressing existing health concerns. You may be bringing ritual and practice to your daily life. It’s important not to neglect your physical body during this time. For some, it’s a need to take a look at the various day-to-day systems that life runs on. This means creating schedule, routine, structure, and starting projects. For others, it means getting our feet on solid ground and in reality. It may also be a time of increased duties and responsibilities, including service to others.

Aquarius or Aquarius Rising — Money, income, value, material stability. After a heavy 2020-2023, one where you had learn to stand on your own two feet and find self reliance, Saturn will push you to find new stability and security in your life. The next three years put the focus on money, income, and your material resources. If your bank account is something that you try not to pay attention to, Saturn may feel differently. For some, it’s a need to make investments, to make major purchases, such as a home or property, or to get clear about what your material life needs more of. For others, it’s a serious look at finances, to get lean, create a budget, or feel the push to work harder to bring in more income. It’s even a look at self worth and value as well as the currency — physical and nonphysical — that your life runs on.
