I wonder if you're noticing a shift since the eclipse? I've been in a "slough of despond", accompanied by agitation and generally feeling like crap. Then I remembered the eclipse. How easy it is to forget our animal natures, and of course - why wouldn't we be affected by a major planetary transit? I am starting to feel better. Coincidence? Who knows...

I hope the gloom lifts for you soon, Richard.

This is beautiful Rich, sending you much love. I feel sure that after this dissonant movement, the consonance will be overwhelmingly gorgeous.

I had a really similar relational shift over the last days with my sorrow. What if I just offered it love, rather than wished it were different?
