In this moment its as if the magician (mercury) is weaving all the elements together as the catalyst of the great attractor magnifies the deep intuition and knowing of the high priestess (moon) charged and illuminated by the sun in the dance of the eclipse. And in the midst of that eclipse, with one foot anchored in the material world and one foot in the deep watery emotional unconscious, the angel of Temperance (representing Sagittarius) is continually alchemizing and pouring the healing balancing waters of unconditional love from one chalice another, continually integrating light into dark and dark into light.

‍"In Scorpio, Venus shines her golden gleam into the dimmest parts of us, sees our lost beauty, and loves our pain. Venus in the sign of the Scorpion gazes into the gray mist, and spies our own preciousness, our radiant self."~Joy Vernon

By reaching out we remain forever open...non-resistance, going with the flow is our natural state—the flow. Here we miss nothing, are joyously and easily aligned with the breath of fresh air that carries us ‘aloft’.
