POEMS to DANCE the YEAR
All I ASK OF DYING
Sometimes I die to myself
When the world is most beautiful.
Its incandescence hurting my eyes.
In this death
I drop what bedazzled and blinded
What kept true sight and wild flight at bay.
In this breathless AHHHH
The world and I turn, rolling,
Soaring over dung heaps,
Leaving behind pissy little me:
“I can’t.” “You shit.!” “Fine.”
Universe, hold me as your forever lover,
Embrace me despite scorn
Honor me for love gone wrong.
If my bright life comes from dying
I accept. I release every safe, habitual grip
To throw myself without net to the next trapeze.
Quivering-Luminescent-Immeasurable
If only in this moment.
COSMIC ENERGIES

Daily Breath Journal Newsletter by Samantha Cameron
The poem took its cue from Andre Gide, the French writer who said, “It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.” If it affects you, then you are under the spell of Venus now retrograde in Scorpio, which is the overriding energy of this time. If you paid attention to the previous newsletter, you know that it ruled the New Moon In Libra on the 10th, sending us all out for the coming 28 days to deal with the intensity, and complexity of Venus travelling inward and backward in the depths of transformative Scorpionic waters.
Venus is reflected in the outer world through beauty, love, appreciation, friendships, partnerships, and sensibilities of self-worth, along with the money honey. Scorpio does not appreciate the outer world half as much as lying hidden below the surface where it is discerning, passionate, and interested in metamorphosis. As we are in Libra’s scales that weigh harmony, and balance, you do not have to be Einstein to feel the tug of war we have disrupting the hope for an ‘ordinary day.’ There is good reason you are tired. There are many explanations of why you feel boundaries and commitments are confused and shifting.
In this retrograde passage, (Oct 3-Nov 13) Venus would normally ask us to revise and re-evaluate her issues, but in Scorpio, plus working through three squares with Scorpio’s ruler, Pluto, she is not kindly requesting- she is demanding! This retrograde journey impels us to deal with trigger points around self-worth and money. It demands we look at cracks in relationships, asking what scares us, what doesn’t work and why? Venus has exceptional healing glue in her desires for love, and this is an opportune time to glue broken pieces, to heal what cripples us, to root out old patterns, and expand trust as we re-evaluate our core values.
You will notice the world growing wilder in political disagreements, especially if money and power are involved….and when are they not? We will see provocative betrayals over priorities and commitments, which we have no control over. But the outer world is a reflection of the inner, reminding us that all relationships are mirrors. The ones most important to us, reflect us in very discerning ways. In any partnering dance, be it with your best friend, banker or lover, we are given ample opportunities to view Self. The questions at this time are: How can I heal what hurts me? How might I transform a long-standing rift? Who are the people I need to say ‘farewell’ to? When is the price too high for equal give and take? How might I grow into a more wonderful lover…of others, of life!
Yes, the outer world is spinning on its axis as we bid farewell to the old era of toxic masculinity. But we are also spinning internally. Trust your deepest truths. Trust your heart to see you through, damaged though it is. Be reminded by the powerful New Moon energies taking us through the coming weeks of heart-healing, of honoring beautiful YOU, of inspiring others in your dance of kindness and joy.

“Thank you for your incredible gift of time and devotion, looking into my life, deciphering and pulling together wayward strands from Pluto to the moon and back as you wove a golden pathway for me to understand and follow! Your knowledge and intuition are remarkable, your passion never ending. Thank you, thank you! “ K. Ricciardelli.
LIBRA BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION! This is quite a year for you Librans! You will be spiritual, confused, determined, emotional, and quietly intentional with new strategies of a re-newed heart. On Sept. 22nd, as we entered Fall Equinox, we also enter the signature of Libra, ruled by Venus. And you now have a very good idea of what is in store for you this coming year. A solar return consultation around the birthday is always a wonderful gift to give yourself, and/or a dear friend as the re-birth return of bringing the Sun home to Self, always reveals promises and possibilities of the months to come.
